    Stop News! OHIO University to remove the thumbs and feet of all students to stop the obvious illegal activities using Sneakernet and USB Thumb drives!

  2. The block works both ways!! on Ohio University Blocks P2P File Sharing · · Score: 1

    Like someone mentioned earlier, it doesn't stop someone sharing internally in their network. Blocking external access, also blocks the RIAA interrogating the internal sharing ;-)

    Ask it to go from NY to London. I don't want to go via France, I'd rather swim to Lands End and walk the rest, or swim to Bristol and catch God's Wonderful Railway A.M

  10. Flight Simulators on Army of Davids Beats Pentagon Procurement · · Score: 1

    I once worked for a UK based defence company, in a division that wrote Avionics Simulators for various Air Forces, but mainly the UK. Typically the project quotes were well into $M's and generally taking 8 to 24 months to complete and deliver. DiD a company (now defunkt) were responsible for writing Flight Sim games for the PC (EF2000, F22, Tornado..) put a quote in that was well below a few hundred $Ks. The UK Ministry of Defence procurement struggled to cope and comprehend on how they could delivery something so complex, so cheaply and well ahead of the estimates the usual defense companies quoted. In essence, they can do this by being lean, mean and having people prepared to work well into the night, rather than ageing 9 to 5 ers, in positions that they have held for twenty years, and are awaiting retirement.

  11. Moores Law can help. on Is DRM Intrinsically Distasteful? · · Score: 1

    Given thirty or forty years into the future, we should be able to decrypt media that has been encrypted with "old" technology with small keys. For example, given today's computing power, not all messages were decrypted by the allied forces during WW2. How much time would it take to crack such schemes now? A.M

  13. Google UnEarth on Another New Tomb in the Valley of the Kings? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    All we need is a deep radar satellite, to spin around the world, and then we can have "google unearth". People searching the globe with their PCs looking for buried treasure from their armchair. Mind you, it will probably throw up more unearthed Mafia corpses than treasure ;-)
