Good Dog. I'm tired of this erosion of my rights. Yeah, 9-11 was a Bad Thing (tm) and something had to be done, but the situation is getting out of hand. It ain't just GWB, either. The lawmakers as a whole are either reacting to or catering to the fear factor.
Wiretapping has worked pretty well in the past... but with the proper legal steps taken first (court orders, whatever). Even this has been abused, but I can't see how wholesale wiretapping can be a good thing, ever.
I agree that creating stupid-proof is difficult, but I'm not so quick to blow off the task of making software secure. One methodology I've not heard much talk about is testing with external software that tries to break the application (though there is at least one company who makes a such a product, eeye.com, I think). Just like any other aspect of ensuring robustness in software, testing is the next critical step after design.
So design it to be secure, then test it! Try to overrun buffers, throw illegal arguments and all around garbage input at it, some specifically designed and even more that are randomized. When it crashes or misbehaves, find out what trashed it and fix it up.
What effects, positive or negative, do you think sites like the popular Groklaw have/will have on corporate technology litigation? Do lawyers pay any attention to the research and opinions of amateurs and the general public?
I agree. I also think the cost of POTS is still pretty cheap, especially so with today's low LD rates. Example: I live in Oklahoma and it's costs me $0.08/minute to talk to my in-laws in Beijing and $0.07/minute to talk to my sister in Minneapolis. Go figure.
There has to be a real economic incentive to a household or company to roll out new systems to implement VoIP. It ain't here yet, but it'll come.

As of 10:57:22 PST, the last contender(The Golem Group) went to status Disabled.
A total of 28 miles were collectively traversed, with no participants getting past the 7 mile mark.
Thank you all for participating; we hope to see you all back here in 2006 for another try.
The 2006 event should be a real treat as we'll have clowns, jugglers and dancing girls. We'll also be introducing a new competing class called "Autonomous Disabled Autonomous Vehicle Tranport." The race for this class will begin 1 hour after the start of the main competion.

The issue is the hotspots. The heat dissipation is not uniform over the entire die. Also, the die only covers a relatively small area of the package; the rest just accomodates bond out and routing to all the pins to the outside world.
The concept here is to apply cooling where it's needed most and, presumably, to distribute the heat load across the die more uniformly. Now, if they could couple that with a closed coolant system in the package as a whole, that would really help.
Do you recall reading that leaked memo (Halloween X)? A lot of us doubted its authenticity in light of the atrocious spelling and grammar.

If you have an all electric house (many do) then your central heat and air or baseboard heaters would get pretty close to that range. Add in hot water heaters and electric ranges, then YES, it's very easy to hit that kind of usage.
On second thought, this guy's only able to get 51kW per 100,000 people. It wouldn't take too many small -scale wind generators to produce the same. Heck, I bet the few guys who hang out at fieldlines.com who've made their own wind gens collectively produce more electricity than that. I also bet biogas from the same source would produce more engery.
Yeah. Until I read the article (yes, I did!), I thought they were probably re-hashing the old biogas angle (which still has very good possibilities, mind you). This is more of a direct-to-electricity approach that looks promising. I think I'll post a link to here and the article on my favorite renewable energy discussion board (see my sig).
Yes- we all know that looking at lists of dead people's names is paramount to preventing a terrorist attack. Retard.
Did you notice where I said "if/how"?
For instance, they could cross reference familial relationships and their past organizational associations to you and your immediate kin. What's wrong with your cognitive level?.
With the Mormons keeping track of their ancestors and all, do you suppose that some (most?) of the info that Utah willingly provided was from those vast genealogical records?
I wonder if/how that would help the MATRIX project. Hmm.
OK, but other than geek factor, what good does it do you?
A customer I've worked with has two locations in the US, one in Aimes, IA and the other in Lawrence, KS. They have some manner of leased line (T1 or T3) between them. Their inter/intranet and some voice lines traverse this pipe. In KS they just dial the 4 digit extension of anyone they want to talk to in Aimes. I'm pretty sure the voice lines are of the tradition analog (64K bit) type you'd implement on a T1 or T3.
Now, imagine the cost of a leased line from Aimes to Lawrence. Now, throw away the long haul and use two short haul connections local to each city. They could VPN for the intranet, and VoIP for voice. There's a potential for real cost savings there.
I bet these would be immediately useful on medium to large commercial, industrial and educational campus, for intracampus mobile communication. But to be of much use to the general public, the coverage by WiFi cells will have to become ubiquitous, at least in metropoliton areas.
Slashdot Mirror
Wow! You're right, with one smallish exception:

Now, how do we aim that at the web in general (and automagically) to avoid the slashdot effect?
A new browser protocol? Aim your browser at
bthttp://www.victim.com
and let it rip?

The first use of 'avatar' in Sci-fi that I know of is Poul Anderson's 1978 novel The Avatar, ISBN: 0722111312
The usage was not strictly VR in the sense we know it today, but awfully close.

Yeah, but will it get past mile 6 or 7?
I'm undecided at this point if the whole excercise was worth it for the exposure and innovation to date. Part of me considers it to be farsical.

Ha!
Red Team and SciAutonics are 'Disabled' as of 7:45!
How's that for CMU robotic tech, eh?
Yeah, the SciAutonicsII team caught up with Red Team very quickly once they started. Last 3 moves I saw were
Red Team 7 miles
SciAutonics 6 miles
Team Caltech 1 mile
Team Dad 3 miles.
Now it's been at
Red Team 7 miles
SciAutonics 7 miles
Team Caltech 1 mile
Team Dad 6 miles.
for the last 10 or 15 minutes.
You suppose SciAuto and Red Team had a little fender bender?
...but I'm sure some GPL zealots might.
To me, it looks like an issue of pragmatism and the MySQL folks apparently aren't hung up on religious adherence to GPL principles.
It's an issue of maximum applicability, to me.

Apparently, Joseph Provey is a freelance home & garden writer. Google his name and you'll find his byline at several such sites.
He probably sold the story to both Tora and PM.
settle their differences. They rely on each other too much.
It's just a darned shame they had to wage their petty little feud on our TV screens. Like little children...
