I've always thought it would be cool to cross information available online with information in the real world. The major problem is the interface obviously. I would love to be able to walk down an actual street and see an icon floating above someone's head letting me know they have a blog. As I walk by them i could download their blog and read it. Or maybe browse their myspace/facebook/whatever. The bandwidth is almost there via various cell networks, wifi or what have you the only problem is actually seeing the tags. I think i saw a movie or read a book once with eyeglasses that projected an image in your eye and generated a heads up display. You still need to interact with it somehow though. my 2 cents.
thanks for making TB class storage available to the average consumer. High storage capacity has helped the digital music/video revolution come along. Thousands and thousands of songs stored on an average PC wouldn't be possible without advances like this.
"We call it a passphrase bypass because that is what it is. It is a dangerous, but needed feature. If you run a business where you remotely manage computers, you need to remotely reboot them."
and
"You cannot enable the feature without cryptographic access to the volume. If you do not have it enabled, you are not affected, either. I think this is an important thing to remember. Anyone who can enable the feature can mount the volume. It is a feature for manageability, and that's often as important as security, because without manageability, you can't use a security feature."
i'd love to see a lecture or 2 on a subject i'm curious about. I'm out of college but watching a lecture on psychology or history or whatever strikes my interest would be great.
looks like a thrown rod, maybe they somehow cut off the supply of oil? I don't think the oil pump is usually under any kind of computer control though...maybe they over revved the engine and blew a piston that way. Keep the tach red lined long enough and something bad will happen. I don't know about a backfire, wouldn't a backfire cause a stall in the worst case? It looks like something mechanical broke inside the engine (that shudder) and then it slowly ground to a hault.
the proper responce is to ask them for the MAC address, if they provide it then we shut *IAA off for illigaly obtaining information from our network
how is getting a MAC address obtaining information illegally? If getting a MAC is illegal then getting the payload portion of a IP packet would also be illegal.
I hope it eventually gets approved. It will be fun to watch all the people who are in to OSS just to hate Microsoft. OSS fanatics equate Microsoft to Satan himself no matter what the context. Heh that popping sound you'd here would be all the zealot head's exploding.
I know multiple couples who are now married, 2 of which have children, who met online in a band's message forum
(Eisley's Laughing City) so it can work. I've dated a couple girls through the forum but i don't have the personality for long distance relationships. With one I was very much in love but the distance just erodes things away.
I always shake my head when i hear respected professionals denounce online relationships as fake. It just goes to show they have no understanding of the online culture.
This is the government - and the FBI. Somehow I can't believe it actually works as smoothly as that.
exactly right. Frankly, i just don't think our gov. has it together enough to pull of something of this magnitude secretly. All the different people, organizations, and physical locations that would have to be in on the project just makes it unreasonable to expect the whole thing to stay under wraps. If this system exists at all then props to them for a pretty impressive piece of software/hardware (even if it lends itself to being used illegally).
From his 1st goal "Ultimately make the social graph a community asset, utilizing the data from all the different sites,..."
So he wants like some sort of library of users that a site can tap into on launch? Why should a popular site hand over its hard won users to the new kid on the block? Doesn't seem all that fair to me. If your social site or application is cool enough the Internet will beat a path to your NIC. If the users don't show then build a better site/app.
I will say this, in the mid-'90s I used X-windows under Unixware on *Pentium 1s* as a desktop machine. I now use X-windows under Linux on a Pentium 4 (with 5-10x more main memory) as a desktop machine. I would argue that my desktop user experience is as problematic now as it was then *despite* the hardware improvements.
I'm late to the thread but i could not agree more. I got into linux in '95 and used it as a desktop then with fvwm and then later with Afterstep. After that I ended up operating linux from telnet then ssh exclusively. I recently tried out a desktop linux (Ubuntu something.. don't remember which) and i was amazed how much things have stayed the same. Sure, gnome and a gui installer are nice but it's still feels, and runs, like the same old desktop os from '95
I wonder how much power it takes to run and if it can target multiple incoming threats at once. It would be awesome if it could take on say 5 or 8 incoming mortars at the same time. Even better would be knocking out a barrage of RPG's. I guess the final implementation would be zapping bullets out of thin air which at that point you'd have a "shield" like in sci-fi. Military tech amazes me.
I thought the use of paintballs filled with CS gas
I live in Deep Ellum, an arts/entertainment district in Dallas. The cops here have used mace filled paint balls for crowd control in the past. After last call the clubs would empty into the streets and everyone would just be milling about drunk and ready to fight ( we use to have a pretty bad gang problem in the neighborhood ). The cops would roll up on bikes and shoot a barrage of mace at everyone's feet to get them moving. mace sucks.
How about we wait until they've sold *one* until we predict that they'll sell 20 million 2 years from now.
That's a good point. I really like Apple and have never been let down by their hardware but it's way too early to be making crazy predictions about the Iphone saving the world. Competitors are genuinely scared though, Microsoft had that FUD piece a while back about the Iphone being useless for business. I found that funny given the fact that the ipod is useless for business as well yet was still a success.
Overall I have no doubt the Iphone will do well but it's too early to make predictions 2 years down the road.
This just proves students will do anything for $10
before i settled on computer science i took a couple of pysch classes. We were required to participate in a couple of experiments each semester so that's probably why they did it.
i don't really know what to think about all this. i mean White and Nerdy hit a little close to home. Now they're making documentaries? what part of recluse don't they understand? If i wanted to be cool, i'd have learned to play guitar instead of asm.

from the response:
"We call it a passphrase bypass because that is what it is. It is a dangerous, but needed feature. If you run a business where you remotely manage computers, you need to remotely reboot them."
and
"You cannot enable the feature without cryptographic access to the volume. If you do not have it enabled, you are not affected, either. I think this is an important thing to remember.

makes pretty good sense to me

nice way to find some pics and install vnc server and write down some ip's and.. ect.
fyi, sorority girls like coorslite, 2 pitchers ought to do it
my mistake, i was thinking of something else ( src address )

ichat and flash, that's all i ask. (I'm aware that Flash is really up to Adobe)

a trillian-like app makes much more sense and is a lot more feasible then trying to maintain some giant user repository.

Kent Brockman: So, professor, would you say it's time for everyone to panic?
Professor: Yes I would, Kent.
First would be Laika, who gave her life in space exploration
I think you mean who's life was _taken_ in space exploration. not that there's anything wrong with that

go to a trendy store like Target, Crate and Barrel...
that pretty much destroys your credibility of knowing what is in
