C'mon, if you are delivering the info to me, then it has to come across a network device, and Ethereal can see it.
If someone is motivated to get a copy, then it's not that hard to write code to read the packet dumps and re-create the content.
Ohhh!! Me me me!!!
Wait, did you mean who gets sued next, or who gets to drum up a lot of hype for a doomed patent lawsuit, then shake down Sun Micro for $92M in an out-of-court settlement?
So I'm just wondering, do the subscribers get to see "Nothing
for you to see here. Please move along" for 20 minutes before the rest of us?
'Cause, you know, I wouldn't want them to get short-changed.
Ahh, you see, UNIX was created back in the day when we couldn't afford vowels, and many consonants.
As such, common commands had to be shortened a little bit: "Copy" becomes "cp"
"List" becomes "ls"
"Rename" becomes "mv" and so on.
Years ago, a friend of mine was brewing and thought he'd invent a recipie for Coffee Porter. Rather than read what anyone else had done, he decided to just wing it and hope for the best.
He came into work one Monday, and asked what I knew about coffee. Seems he had a bottle with dinner the night before, but hadn't been to sleep yet.
Now any homebrewer can tell you that the typical formula for 5-6 gallons of beer calls for about one pot of strong coffee for a subtle but noticable flavor.
Mark, on the other hand, took a pound of french roast, ground it to the "Espresso" setting, and dumped it into secondary for two weeks. If I remember the back-of-the-envelope calculations, we figured each bottle had 500 - 700 mg of caffiene, compared to 40-70 mg in a cup of coffee.
He gave me a bottle, and we used it for shots at a party, but that's about all I could do with it.
150 watts just to do nothing?

Can someone elighten me on this? Is there a reason why the SpeedStep and other power-saving methods that are used in most laptops can't be adapted to desktop systems?
The old joke is that all CPUs sleep at the same speed, but after seeing the power consumption graph on this site, it's obvious that "power-hungry CPU" doesn't just mean high heat during gaming. This suckers are hungry even while doing nothing at all
Dream a little
I can (and do) dream a lot, and I'm looking forward to a day when parabolic descent lasts for more than a few brief seconds, but the parent poster extrapolated from today's events into "Suddenly that old commercial advertisement for a Hilton Hotel in space doesn't sound so wacky anymore" and I disagree.
I think it still sounds as absurd as it did when it first aired, perhaps more so now, because I now have a more educated appreciation for just what it takes to get into space, let alone orbit.
Today is a watershed event in human history.
Today does not herald in the age of zero-G convention centers.
I watched the webcast, but the Scaled video has some of the in-cabin footage. After Mike cut the engines, you can see him working to stabilze the roll, then as he hit the zenith, he grabs a digi-cam and starts taking snapshots out the windows.
Gotta love it!

I've been all over the treasury dept's web site, and I can't find anywhere that they offer images for artists, students and others who discover that their computers, scanners or printers won't allow them to view or copy pictures of the new currency.
They've got images up, as MankyD has pointed out, but the whole point seems to be educating people on how to recognize the bills, and how to find the anti-counterfeit gadgets. How did CNN come up with this spin?
Soda makers (and breweries, for that matter) spend a significant portion of their process on purification/standarization of their water supply. You can like soda or hate it, (you can like Bud Light or hate it) but wherever you go in the north american continent, a bottle of coke will always taste exactly like every other bottle of coke, and that's a phenominal feat.
A glass of tap water from NYC will be different from tap water in Miami, different from Santa Fe, etc. But a bottle of Dasani each each of those places will taste exactly the same.
What cracks me up is that Dasani (one of the ingredients in Coke) is selling for a higher per-ounce price than Coke (Dasani + sugar + flavoring, etc) but I guess that's just the market for you.
... but here's another anecdote just the same
A friend of mine grew up in Colorado (floridated tap water) and moved to Utah (not floridated tap water)
As soon as she went to the dentist in Utah, he asked her where she grew up. She explained, and he said that he could tell by the health of her teeth that she wasn't local.
So, here's the question: what do you, members of the/. community, use your PDAs for, anyway?
Palm's DualDate helps me coordinate my schedule with my wife's Zire
I use the address book extensively, with a few hundred entries

Hmm... the archive.org page only goes to January of 2004.
Better than nothing, though.
On July 4, 2004: Buyer Beware! CD was scratched, skips on multiple tracks
May not seem like much, but multiply that by his "over 1300 items" and see what you get!
1: Make Roland Piquepaille a foe
2: Block my foe's submissions from my view of the front page
Failing that, howsabout you just ignore his submissions and move on to the next story?
/me forgot to check the submitter on this one. 'Doh!

Thank you. I was wondering if anyone was going to get the joke. I've already had two (very kind, helpfull) folks correct my "mistake."
Oh, in that case nevermind what I said before

Hi Rob,
Based on your tremendous impact to the history of computing, I really can only think of one question for you.
Wouldn't you like to get a Totally Free iPod?!?!?!?

Sounds great, if you want your summer vacation to last about 75 seconds.
Oh, and cost US$200,000
And have a non-trivial chance of killing you
Other than that, I'm totally there dude!

Diebold "wrongfully abused" The DMCA act? Does that mean that they used it properly?
No no no, it just means that they need some remedial training so they can abuse it correctly next time.

Java is as far above C as C is above Assembly.
I was about to mod this as Funny, but then I realized that you weren't making a joke.
Back in the day, the tagline was "C -- all the speed of assembly, with all the programming ease of assembly."
