Also from the article: "At the top of the root server hierarchy is the "A" root server, which every 12 hours generates a critical file that tells the other 12 servers what Internet domains exist and where they can be found. " Couldn't they (the DDOSers) have focused their energy on that one server? Wouldn't that have done more damage?
From the article: "UUNET is the service provider for two of the world's 13 root servers. A unit of WorldCom Inc., it also handles approximately half of the world's Internet traffic." Only two servers for half the world's internet traffic? That is scary. What are the specs on those babies?
Virtual Economies will have to expand immensely to have any real effect on real economies. Sure, people trade some EverCrack stuff on Ebay but it is a miniscule amount compared to the rest of the economy. It really has no effect on the real world. How can a virual economy ever have something that is truly valuable? I can't think of an instance and I don't see one coming about.
That is what I was thinking. I saw an ad in this Sunday's newspaper: $10 network cards at Best Buy. If got banned and really wanted to keep playing it wouldn't take much.
The article talks about how Tony Hawk has a special PS2 that will play anything he burns. Game-makers FTP him games, he burns them and plays them as a beta-tester. Do I have to learn how to skateboard to get that job?
As a matter of interest, are Google under any legal obligation to provide an "fair" search?
I don't understand why they would be. If they feel like excluding searchking.com they should be able to. I don't like to see them deviate from their proven algorith just to squash competition I believe they should have the right to. I don't see this case going very far.
BTW, searchking.de is the #1 one result here in California also. searchking.com doesn't show up until near the bottom of the third page.
It is time to start flooding the market with independent record labels and sites like IUMA. The people need to reclaim their music from the coorporations.
One thing I do know about it that I am fairly certain is not wrong: the government will attempt to regulate it. It doesn't matter what shape it takes the government will make sure it makes a profit from it.
evolutionary neural networks are pretty damned cool. You have a generation of networks compete against each other, then keep the best ones and kill off the rest. They you make mutant copies of the good ones and have them compete against the original good ones. Then repeat until you have a good neural network.
In Japan they have the same phones...only they are half the size. They are also more expensive, but Japanese people seem to be willing to pay more for smaller things.
Is it possible to get one here in the US? Usually Japan uses its own population as a test before selling anything to the US. Also there isn't nearly the market for really small stuff in the US.

Yeah, I misread it.

Yeah, but he gets the games before they are released. That is kinda the definition of a "beta-tester."

I am assuming the ruling does not apply to state and federal web sites. Is that true? Do state and federal web sites still need to be ADA compliant?
What OS will the crash test dummies run?

Overclocked with only one fan? Wouldn't overheating be a problem? Maybe I should actually click on the link and read the write up...
If you read the site it says that his lap time with the cam was ~5 seconds slower than cars in races.
Total weight of body with camera and batteries is 11.8 ounces. Total weight of body before camera was just under 4 ounces.
Obviously it will be slower with a camera on top but I am sure the cam car is just for exhibition. He has lots of other cars for races.

You know what I meant. Not profits, but they will get their cut. They auction off spectrum now and they will do it if the "paradigm" shifts.

How did you know?
Is this a feature, a bug, a security hole or something else?
Anyone care to explain what this means and why it is significant? I know a little about BSD but this is giberish to me. TIA.
