    yeah, unfortunatelly, they weren't any help, they just pointed me to the same databases that I was searching through anyways.

    And most of the "librarians" here are nothing more than student workers anyways.

    I guess that there's not much interest in language revitalization programs in relation to cultural identity and norms of that process across different cultures.

    But for those of us who are behind a university, we can usually access those articles, so it's a great help to us.

  6. Just used Google Scholar on Google Keyhole, Google Scholar · · Score: 1

    In just 5 minutes of using Google Scholar, I've found more papers on language revitalization and cultural identity that actually pertain to the topic than I've been able to find through hours of digging through the hundreds of databases that our university library subscribes to.

    To say that it rocks is nothing short of a massive understatement.

  7. Re:And still no truly anonymous p2p on MPAA Sues Movie-Swappers · · Score: 1

    Within the past few months, as they've released the "next generation" routing protocol and made it the standard protocol, Freenet has sped up considerably.

    Personally, I think that the only thing that's keeping Freenet from being truly suited for file-sharing is that damn necessity to "insert" files into the network, instead of having them on your harddrive and just having them inserted when someone requests them for the first time.

    On the other hand, GNUNet is anonymous, and does allow you to do that, as well as perform keyword searches on the files that people are shareing. The only major problem that I see with it is that it's not available on Windows right now, nor does it look as if it will ever be.

  8. Completely anonymous P2P? on MPAA Sues Movie-Swappers · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Great. So now this'll just further fuel the movement of the extremely large file-sharers to move to those P2P networks that are completely anonymous, like GNUNet or Freenet.

  9. Re:Legallity on Is Microsoft Crawling Google? · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't go that far. As soon as you put your trash on the curb, it becomes public property, and anyone can go through it. It's when they go through trash and it's in your side yard that it's illegal.

    That's why it's technically illegal to go dumpster diving in dumpsters that are enclosed in those little brick cubes behind buildings. Although I've never really had a problem with them while dumpster diving. They can sure as hell, and probably would, get you for dumping your trash there.

  10. Re:Not that difficult... on How Infants Crack the Speech Code · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There's a few different opposing views about this early babbling. At such an early age a baby doesn't really have very much muscular control at all (if you've held a newborn, you know what I mean), and this is where the difference of opinion comes about.

    One school thinks that the very early babbling and screaches and crying that a baby does actually works out the vocal cords and allows them to experiment with new sounds, learning how to make new sounds and such. You'll also notice that early on, babies tend to make sounds that aren't native to the spoken language around them, such as the uvular fricatives, which don't exist in English.

    The other thinks that this very early babbling is attempting to speak, like what you've said.

    While I agree with this once the child has learned to use their vocal cords and are actually making attempts to communicate, I believe that the first few bits of babbling and such are most likely the child attempting to gain control over his/her body.

  11. Re:Confirms a suspicion I've had all along on How Infants Crack the Speech Code · · Score: 5, Interesting

    And now she takes that same cadence and rhythm from the long exposure to spoken and sung Japanese and will faithfully reproduce the words of songs, or will chatter in a kind of pseudo-Japanese when playing by herself. Yet her English is accentless.

    This is actually a regular occurence with children who learn multiple languages before puberty. Typically, when you learn two or more languages before you reach puberty, you are able to speak both without a discernable accent.

    If you were to take your daughter to Japanese classes at this age, odds are that she would grow up able to speak Japanese without an English accent and vice-versa.

  12. Scary how... on New Bin Laden Tape Surfaces · · Score: 1

    I think that it's juat a little scary how the man who's at the top of the FBI's most wanted list also makes some of the most rational arguments for a change in U.S. foreign policy to something more humanitarian.

    He also makes good points. It's not about freedom, as Bush has made it out to be, because if it was about that then Sweeden, the Netherlands, and just about every other developed country in the world before the USA would be a smoldering pile of rubble.

    Let's see how the politicos here in the States and their lapdogs, mass media, spin this into some crazy completely anti-american rhetoric (granted, there's plenty of that in there), and not even take one look at lucent the points that he's made.

  17. Re:Reading in my house on Americans Read Fewer Books · · Score: 1

    Thank you, a voice in the dark here. I can't agree with what you say more.

    Reading is an aquired taste, like black coffee. You have to work at it, a little at first and then ease yourself into reading more. After a while you'll fine that you get addicted to it and it's really hard to watch TV because it just doesn't stimulate like a good book does.

    When I was younger I had my mom do exactly the same things happen to me that you are doing to your children, and every day I'm thankful that she did that. It also tought me several other things that I think that my younger cousins just haven't learnt, like how to concentrate on one thing for an extended period of time and it's also helped with my memory more than anything.

    Children are the most impressionable, and it's really when you are a child that it's the easiest and most important to impress upon them the importance of the written word.

    All that I can say is great job. Even though they may complain about it now, your children will thank you for doing that later.

    You have access to the shadow file, but you can't remember your password, so what do you do?

    What the hell were these people thinking? If you have access to the shadow file, then you have root access, and you can just passwd a different password. Root doesn't have to supply the current password.

    Worst case scenario, just cut out the hash and it'll be a blank password until you reset it. And if you really need that password, odds are that the others in there would be a nice bonus too, in which case there's plenty of other tools available.

    If they're stupid enough to let the kids bring in a computer or PDA, then they deserve it. Anyways, who in their right mind would let a kid bust out a laptop or PDA in an exam situation.

    (And if they do, what's to stop the kids from creating an ad-hoc network and sharing answers? There's no real way to stop that. Or maybe downloading the info earlier and just going off of it during the exam?)

    First off, get a nice patch panel and run your cables through that. Make sure that everything's labeled, and then you can have all the fun that you may want to with your home network/sub nets/whatever.

    Also just get a mini (or a full-sized if you want to be the big dog among your geek friends) rack and mount the panel in there, as well as all of your other servers or whatever, and you shouldn't have to worry about noise from fans or even heating/cooling (assuming that your basement is all underground, and not one of the semi-basements).

    Ebay has a lot of those goodies for cheap if you can wait the time for them to be delivered.

    and see how long before that I use something like Knoppix STD to change my MAC address and get my ass into the network.

    Come on, if you're a University, then you've already got fat pipes, and probably let the kids in dorms and the library have unlimited access, so why treat your other students like crap just because they're in the wrong location.

    And if you limit their internet access, what kind of education do you think that you're providing them with by limiting the information that they can access?

    Hell, and even if you try to, odds are that anybody with half a brain will hack it, or the user with access is going to set up their system as an IP masquerading AP.
