The articles too slashdotted to tell, But assuming it does it quick enough all you would need is some ammunition the size of a pinhole;)
Maybe you could 'cut' with it, like frying ants with a magnafying(too tired to spellcheck) glass? where the area of heat is small but constant, so it could easily slice open some armor.
Also, breaking an air tight seal in the future might be needed. A small pinhole is all you neeed to pump gas into a tank and make it a death trap.
AFAIK, they do it more to stop people from using filesharing than to stop winnuke. Filesharing would mostly be done by people telecommuting to work, so they disable it unless you pay extra for the buisness account. (note: I know that file sharing has many other uses, but I dont run an isp. dont reply to me telling me otherwise, mail all the big cable isps)
More like the many different output formats in windows media player's cd ripper, or MS's video program that shipped with xp.

I'm someone who has read the RFCs, w3c specs, and just about everything else written by anyone that matters involving the web. But really, if you feel like (ab)using the web to store a picture gallery, thats fine, My problem is with the sites that are so filled with useless links, ads, banners, misplaced frames..etc, that even in a w3c complient browser you cant get the content.

Because thats not what the web is for. Try a FTP server for distributing files. And its funny how moderators mod down what they disagree with..i probably should of waited for the +1 bonus until i started posting honesty.

But whos fault is that? Links and Lynx are both great browsers, its the incompetent web designers that are at fault. If the web would of stayed a source of information, instead of a source of ad revenue and flash games, the CLI would still be fine.
I'll admit i havnt read the page (slashdotted), so I'm curious, How does it disipate heat? I know it has vents, but where? I'm guessing its fanned out the back, but won't it just hit a wall in most situations? They should start making vents on the top of computers (and the top of this desk), just to take advantage of the fact that heat rises. why waste so much energy fanning it out the back?
"Congratulations are in order for the OpenSSH team's hard work and efforts."
Yeah, We congratulate them by slashdotting their main server before for all the mirrors are updated. great work slashdot, its not like this was a vuln fix, its just a new release..it can wait a few hours.
You should try mplayer instead. It supports loading of win32 codecs, streams, vcd's, dvds, tv capture, some Realplayer files, and my favorite feature... anything it can decode, it can convert. Worked good for turning some vcd's into divx for a dialup friend of mine.
You made your own counterargument. We cant get rid of the DMCA if the people trying to fight it are denied access to this country. Skylarov was the perfect case against the DMCA, but because of this he wont be able to fight it, and it will all be forgotten.

That would make it VERRY unfair. The ultra PK chars would still exist, just take longer to make. They would also sell for a lot on ebay, as theres a hard limit of time needed to make them. But you could then make 5-20 chars all at once, then sell them all when they get good (a few months). But what about the new chars that cant ever beat them because of the time limit on lvling up? As it is in diablo2exp i made a sorceress, rushed her through hell(beat the entire game by having someone stronger do all the needed quests), then leeched experience on cow games for a day. I was up to level 64 in two days, definitly enough to hold my own in a duel (sure a ww barb could take me out with one hit... if he can get to me while im teleporting around orbing him >:]).
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but the bots used usually arnt for leveling, its for finding magic items. For example, the most popular bots MephBot and Pindlebot just repetitivly kill one boss over and over again(Mephisto and Pindleskin) Pindleskin does about 500 runs overnight, I havnt tried Mephbot yet. In that time you do die occasionaly, so it never reall helps your exp any. the best way to stop rambling is to hit subm--

The ethernet adapter has been working fine for a while, Marcus Comstedt(sp?) even had a disk you could burn, swap to a game, and the game would be sent over the network.

He also wrote LibAO, a library that makes it easy to impliment cross platform sound in your application LibAO adds output support for OSS, ESD, ALSA, aRTs, Solaris, and Irix.

" I get all my work done with vim in a console. I am by no means even a power *NIX user, and it concerns me that I get the feeling that they think I'm doing something they couldn't do."
(I'm quoting a post but not replying to it, because this is on a different topic, but Im quoting for relevance) It's sad to see them teach students how to use a product, instead of how to use the language. I think they should spend the first month on enviroments, 2 weeks to learn vc++, a few days on pico, a week and some change on vi(only the basic movement/insertion/deletion, stuff vimtutor would show), and the rest on all the fun gcc options. Then the students would be able to code in most standard enviroments, and the rest of the time should be spent teaching the kids the actual language. The teacher shouldnt even care what editor you use, as long as you turn in working code.
That would be true, but do you really think colleges will fight this? Verry few really care that much about freedom. Faced with a one-easy-step solution (DRM? Palladium? some magic *AA black box?), I'm fairly confident they would use it. And can you blame them? A lot of colleges are struggling for money, saving on bandwidth and lawsuits would help immensly. IANAL but I believe they don't filter for the same reasons ISPs give uncensored usenet access -- They arnt liable if they dont filter any, but filtering some shows that they can and are willing to. (or some such law).
Nice FUD. I recently bought a USB HID mouse, and had to get it working in both Windows XP and Linux 2.4 (some version of gentoo). Linux:
- Recompile kernel -- add usb and hid support.
- Reboot && pray
- Update gpm config to read from usb mouse instead of old ps2 mouse.
- Update X config, same.
- Update SVGALib config
- Add lines to X config to map the mousewheel and other buttons properly, and to get a decent sensitivity
Windows XP
- Plug in mouse. Wait aprrox. 3 seconds. It works.
The same is true with most hardware. and no, you don't need to know what hardware is installed in windows, because it will automaticly search microsofts site for the latest compatable drivers. What you said was true maybe 4 years ago, but much has changed.
I agree with the original poster that Linux needs something to automaticly detect hardware installed. All you would have to do is parse dmesg and/proc/*, then feed the device info into a CGI script that will regexp match it and return the url for the download script. (I realise the insecurities in this, but signing everything should help)
A little off topic, but of some relevance.. What about the reverse? Do you complain about things like Gaim, Mozilla, Gvim, Ettercap, And MANY other OpenSource applications running fine under windows? Personally, the availability of these has kept me in windows more than winex has kept me in linux.
Why would it matter? If it works, it works. Be it emulation(okay, api implentation..) or native, the end user still gets to play their games, Transgaming still gets paid, the game developers still get paid, whats the problem? I for one would like to see transgaming get big enough that the game developers could rely on them, because it means their product is working well enough that end users dont have to complain to the developer (Valve still hasnt replied to me..)
