Has/. has ever pulled a story for being a dupe, hoax or otherwise bogus?...thinkin' they ought to.
OTOH, these blatent dupes seem to be one of the things that comprises slashdot's character. We certainly wouldn't want it to become a Fark clone or anything else as insipid.
Speaking of obsolete analog in a digital world, these guys still make DIY analog synth kits (and other stuff). They've been around since the late 60s, early 70s.
On that point, all of the spamvertised, compromised hosts running phishing sites I've come across were running some form of Linux... usually with a default (and old) Apache install (by default, I mean they show the default "your installation was successful!" page).
I suspect those fall in the aforementioned group of home linux installs done by the less technically capable.
That patch comment was made by the GAIM developer who was given the patch by the MS tech. He's saying he took the patch blind - didn't test it, but apparently trusted the Microsoft guy enough to accept it on faith.
I think a koisk that allows you to burn-and-go your favorite FOSS stuff is a cool idea, but there'd have to be plenty of them around to really solve the problem.
I think it sounds more practical to simply hook up with a person or group in your area who can help you out. You can aid in distributed distribution (heh) and/or support by participating at this site.
I should have pointed out that the aspect of robots.txt they're complaining about is an "extension" of sorts where archive.org will remove any archived copies of your site if it disallows the ia_archiver spider *and* they submit their site to be recrawled (guaranteeing that the spider will see the new directive).
but my understanding, from the rumor mill, says that the Itanium was too little, too late and was partially aborted in an effort to get it out of the lab. It was a joint HP/Intel effort that was supposed to be the "next big thing" in processors, but dragged on so long in the lab (more than 10 years) that, by the time it was released, contemporary competitors already had nearly comparable horsepower and an established mindshare.
Who the heck every thought our net neural processes were sequential or digital in any way?
This does not seem to be earth shattering news to me. Perhaps the study shed some additional light on the processes, but I don't know of anyone in recent science who has been promoting any differing theory.
I realize this a little late and a little off-topic, but I'm hoping to get some help analyzing my problem.
Yesterday I attempted to set up/seed a torrent using the trackerless BT beta and it didn't work for me.
System/setup: -Windows XP, SP2, firewall enabled. -ports 6881 thru 6889 opened up for TCP -real routable IP address (no NAT) -created torrent, checked DHT box, ran the bt client (pointing to the localhost's IP in the torrent) -at another computer on the same subnet, I installed the beta bt client, opened ports 6881-6889 and clicked on the torrent file and...
nada. waited a long time but the 2nd client stayed at 0%.
Bram's site is real slim on details on using the beta client in DHT mode, was wondering if anyone can spot something stupid that I'm doing wrong.
Thanks. It seems you're right. It was in there in the specs I linked, but they didn't come right out and say it. Had a little trouble wrapping my mind around it, but it makes good sense.
It has been done (pdf) with images from Space Imaging's sats, so I'm still a bit in the dark as to what 2 cameras buys the Indians (there must be something, eh?).
You mean you bought the first TP for the PC, right?
My first Turbo Pascal experience was on a Z80 based CP/M machine with 8 inch floppy disk drives. I was totally blown away by it's speed and the IDE was (still is) the coolest thing to happen to programming, ever.
I second that (except maybe the LUG, not all Linux users are wireheads too).
I can't stress enough that you use the right tools; a cheap-ass iron from radio shack ain't gonna cut it in my opinion. I got a very decent soldering station for $35 a few months back and I am quite pleased with it.
I bought one of these for $35 a few months ago. While a Weller/Unger unit may be better (I've used them), I have absolutely zero complaints about this unit (it even comes with a spare heating element).
The same unit is offered elsewhere for as low as $30, unbranded.

Ads, what ads? Firefox must be broken, cause I just don't see any ads.

Agreed. I was wondering how this had anything to do with "Your Rights Online," but a remote mailbox exploit might do the trick.
Let's get cracking.

er, you're right. he was going strong til that last bit (which I apparently didn't read the first time).
Uh, he's correct. The hot side gains more heat than is removed from the cold side because of, wait for it...
inefficiency! The extra heat is from that 92% to 95% inefficiency of Peltier devices!
11 grade physics is still holding strong.

OK people, ignore this guy's "first-post-without-reading-the-article" and read further down in the discussion.
To sum it up, the plaintifs are claiming that the Wayback Machine didn't obey the robots.txt at their site and are calling it breach of contract.
Of course, obeying robots.txt is voluntary anyway, so what contract?

been used much?
I mean, how many people actually did the hack and got a cheap, reusable digital camera out of the deal?
I'm betting it wasn't enough to have a large effect on sales.
Thanks for the suggestion, but no dice. Just for grins, I opened those ports for UDP also. Still no dice.
Guess it's time for me to read up on the BT protocol and fire up Ethereal.

-TIA
If anyone who managed to get one or more videos could set up a tracker and post a torrent, I'd gladly leave my BT client up for a couple of days.

Hmmm. Haven't found my answer yet, but it *might* be buried in this "Techinical features" document somewhere.
do the cameras have to be to get a proper parallax?

heh! When I was a lad, I was just about put off electronics cause I just couldn't seem to get that soldering thing down.
I was using my mother's wood-burning iron (for art) and acid core solder. I'm better now with the right tools
