Isn't this just a big private broadband IP-based network? I find it a little hard to understand how this qualifies as 'Internet II' - from what I understand this doesn't have anything whatsoever to do with IPV6.
Just 30 regional hubs?
Secondly, it's routed through more than 30 regional hubs, called gigapops. "So if a school in Gary, Indiana wants to talk to a school in Elk Hart, Indiana it shouldn't have to go through Chicago," explains Peebles.
Nice to know that the Indiana is making it's big push for world domination.;)
"They also claim they've found the essence of life in Maryland..." They've probably been searching for *that* particular secret for centuries. Probably something to do with cows, I suspect.
This sounds sort of like "Beyond Wolfenstein" on the Apple ][.. I vaguely remember some improvements on the original like the bomb thing. The original one was you just had to escape, but if you didn't have the plans your rank didn't increase. It was great - it was one of the games that really turned me on to computers in general.
As kids we used to play with two paddles (no joystick back then), with one person steering the body and moving with the button, one aiming the gun and firing with the button, and someone else operating the keyboard.
Ah, the good old days - of course you can still play it on the various Apple II emulators. Still do, sometimes.
Yeah... and do you remember when you'd have everything all up and working perfectly, and then those goddamned pesky dinosaurs would come stomping through the place and wreck everything? That used to really piss me off. (grin)
I used to set up two modems on two different PCs just a regular phone cable in between way back when there was just Doom. As I remember I had to pass some particularly cryptic AT-commands to the modems on each side, but it worked. I find it hard to beleive that Sega wouldn't provide some sort of support for this type of setup because it's so common and technically pretty trivial.
Of course it's not anywhere near as cool as having the systems set up on a LAN, but it's workable.
What about livers? As far as I understand it (of course, I Am Not A Doctor) in many cases if a part of a liver is damaged, it can regenerate itself. In this case, if you had enough tissue, gave it enough nutrients, etc, wouldn't you actually get a full liver in the end, without a lot of manual wiring, so to speak?
I think you're talking about a special bank over in Switzerland called Coutts & Co. that the Queen of England used to have an account with. They don't actually work that way anymore (but only since about ten years or so)
And don't forget that not everyone in Switzerland is a millionaire... there are banks for regular people as well. Even if you're only a foreigner staying in Switzerland for an extended period of time.
Don't assume anything as far as technical security goes, though - having worked on several internet banking projects in Switzerland, I've noticed that the security problems are pretty much evenly distributed worldwide.

Just seems like a bit of a useless article to me.

Is it just me, or does this screenshot for the new KDE web browser look pretty much the same as the current one?
;)
I can hardly contain my excitement.
Just wondering - why this particular boring screen shot... just to show us that despite the changes, it's still working?

Probably other organs wouldn't be so easy.
Still hope for all us alcoholics out there yet.

They do get the trains arriving on time, though.
I've never understood the people who divide their lives up into "work" and "everything else".
For me, what I do *is* who I am. There isn't any distinction between work and play, because work is play, except it has the advantage of paying me.
Looking at this article, I was happy to hear that other people see things the same way - I don't understand all the angst about it.
