The firefox download manager should scan downloads for malicious spyware, stop the bad download(s) and warn the user of the danger posed by the file(s).
I really hope they think this standard through and implement some type of certificate authentication or something. I don't want to my browser to automatically download stuff onto my computer. I already checked off all the automatic downloading in firefox. I would rather go through the hassle of manully typing in the address of the software developer's website and downloading the pluginh from there.
I had some problems with a kernel panic and was forced to reboot the machine serveral times. I booted off the gentoo cd and did a resierfsck and it told me when it was done to rebuild the tree. I lost a about 20 files that where being served by apache. Most of them turned up in the lost+found, but the some weren't as lucky. They where the files being written to most, therefore i'm thinking they was an error during the write which caused the files to become corrupt.
Right now I'm running reiserfs under gentoo and I recently lost some rather important data, which has made me a little skeptical in using it in a production system. Therefore I'm asking you guys which filesystem do you think is good for a webserver that will be handling a medium sized database and a significant number of transacations each day.
I was on team 108 as well, but from my experience the engineers practically did everything. I was on the electrical team my last year and I had almost zero interaction with the actual electronics on the robot. Motorola was also very unsupportive in terms of the animation. I don't know if you remember but a couple years back the animation team got pissed off at motorola and bashed them in the credits.
Soap was probable the most student oriented task, but I don't find it fun sitting in front of a computer during practically the whole competition pressing the record button.
C/C++ is a fine language to program in. There doesn't need to be change in that department. What really needs to change is the way people can interact with widgets. I'm waiting for the day that I can drag any widget from one application to another.
Example: Dragging tabs from Firefox to OpenOffice in oder to have tabbed documents. Or dragging spellcheck from OpenOffice into Firefox.
End users should be able to customize the applications to there needs. Programmers shouldn't have to choose for them.
"I wasn't aware that you needed to download special software to run this Google search application."
Even if this is the case, when you open Internet Explorer for the first time, Microsoft asks you if you want use msn.com as your homepage. Most users will just click yes. This gives Microsoft an edge. If you want to use google, the user actually has to do work and type "www.google.com" in the address bar. This is just like Netscape versus IE. It all has to do with the convience of just being there. I know everyone in my family except me uses the msn for this reason. Even when I tell them that google is better, they just ignore me, because it is just easier to use msn.
IANAL, but the first thing that caught my eye was this line:
"...United Nations Human Rights code for multinationals which says businesses should 'seek to ensure..."
The UNHR code says businesses SHOULD seek to ensure their products will not abuse human rights. It doesn't say is they HAVE TO.
I also have to agree with Microsoft when they say that they shouldn't be held liable for the way people use their software. It is like suing a golf club manufacturer because china uses their specifi c model to beat dissidents.
What if we used smart electronic locks? The keys of the house are embedded with an RF chip with a unique hash that identifies each key. If a key gets stolen, all you have to do is remove that specific hash number from the acceptable list. You can go even further by calling the cops or sounding an alarm when a banned key is used.
As I just demonstrated, it just takes a little effort to come up with a solution or workaround to a problem.
Engineering takes those laws of physics and makes practical things happen!

On Linksys' site they have 7 things people should do to keep their wireless network safe:
1. Change the default SSID.
2. Disable SSID Broadcasts.
3. Change the default password for the Administrator account.
4. Enable MAC Address Filtering.
5. Change the SSID periodically.
6. Enable WEP 128-bit Encryption. Please note that this will reduce your network performance.
7. Change the WEP encryption keys periodically.
Now your telling me average joe (or administrator) is going to preform all these tasks, and remember to regularly change the WEP encryption keys. This is a problem, and until security setup and mantainance is automated and/or easy enough for the everyday folk, there is going to be a continual growth of attacks on these type of networks.
hmm, this technology sure could have helped those involved in Olympic Hide and Seek.
Comentator: Hello, good afternoon and welcome to the second leg of the Olympic final of the men's Hide-and-Seek here in the heart of Britain's London. We'll be surfing in just a couple of moments from now, and there you can see the two competitors Francisco Huron the Paraguayan, who in this leg is the seeker (we see Francisco Huron darting about, looking behind things) and there's the man he'll be looking for... (we see Don Roberts practising hiding) our own Don Roberts from Hinckley in Leicestershire who, his trainer tells me, is at the height of his self-secreting form. And now in the first leg, which ended on Wednesday, Don succeeded in finding the Paraguayan in the new world record time of 11 years, 2 months, 26 days, 9 hours, 3 minutes, 27.4 seconds, in a sweetshop in Kilmarnock. And now they're under starter's orders.

Unless you can control everyone, the internet isn't going to be taken over. Even if the government pulls all the fiber optic and copper wiring and jams every radio frequency the internet will still be controlled by the people.
The Internet IS communication. You can't stop people from communicating.
HP has begun producing new calculators with the Hp49G+ just released. Features include: 75Mhz processor, USB cable, IrDa, SD flash card support
Here is a link to pictures, etc of the new hp line.

I'm looking forward to getting the Hp49G+ and hp33s.
Hope that helps!

Not A Spoiler because thats not what happened in the book. Yes someone dies, but its not hermione. Harry and Cho are far from being at third base. And Harry is not lord voldemort, well sort of (Hint: Occulmency).

1) Request Pespi Codes from Internet Users
2) Use statically analysis
3) Write script to generate codes
4) Download songs for free from iTunes
