Movie tickets cost about 13$. I can't remember wha t poporn and soda costs (I don't need it).
There is mostly not much disturbance during the movie. People who paid 13$ for a ticket usually want to se the movie. And if the parents paid, they keep their kids quiet.
The main problem is selection. If you live outside the 2-3 larges cities (and most people do), you're pretty much limited to the top 10 American and top 3 Swedish movies.
This comment together with the article about the release of the Q3 source code gives me an idea.
What if I modify the server code so that it remebers the incoming pings from clients, predicts the ID number and time of the next ping from that client, and send the responce _before_ receiving the ping?
And how about the energy? Do low-energy photons in vacuum also sometimes exist as electron-antielectron pair and move slightly slower than the maximum speed?
The Bitprint hash used in Gnutella and by Bitzi combines a SHA-1 hash and a Tiger-Tree Hash. The Tiger-Tree is used instead of a "SHA-1 Tree" for exactly the reason that a theoretical breakthrough on either of the algorithms shouldn't break the identification completely.
I can understand that they don't like people to use the free boxes for other things than shipping, but that is their problem. Noone is obligated to make their "give away free boxes to people ship more" marketing idea work. Just like I can go to a store and buy only the underpriced loss-leaders. The store may lose money on it, but that is not my problem untill they get a law against buying stuff that is too cheap.
He has a good point. It seems like every big company going into OSS make up their own license for no particular reason. Incompatible with every other OSS license out there of course.
Whenever someone makes an analogy for computer security, and seems to think the analogy is anything more than a simplified way of explaining, my bogometer goes high.
I'm not saying a biologist can't be a computer security expert too. Critical and scientific thinking, as well as intelligence in general sure helps. But claiming computer security is just like some other thing, be it biology or physical security, is just market speech.
The grandparent did not say the story is irrelevant, or that it's a stupid project, just that it would not make a good turntable. Which is a relevant comment.
For one thing, you're misusing the term "virtual memory", which refers to the concept of separate programs getting their own address space.
Windows calls it "virtual memory". That doesn't make it right of course, but understandable.
Point number two: it is perfectly possible to disable swapping in Linux and probably in most other systems. However, in speed tests on systems with lots of RAM enabling swapping has actually been shown to lead to speed increases in many situations.
This is because it is often better to swap out memory that is not used, and use the RAM for disc caching instead.
This has led some people with enough RAM that they don't need to swap to set up half of their RAM as a RAM disk and then use that as a swap partition. Supposedly this yields great performance.
I am sure they are only imagining that performance yield.

What the grandparent means it that people will add their own money to the $50 credit and by a new iPod.
FYI, a bit about Sweden.

My zero ping server will be damn popular.
And how about the energy? Do low-energy photons in vacuum also sometimes exist as electron-antielectron pair and move slightly slower than the maximum speed?
Any numbers on the speed difference?
CO2 taken from the air and let out again doesn't count.

Google just need to pull the gambling ads from their Australia specific sites. Can't be that hard.
You reversed the two.
There are a lot of people in the world. If there is an easily exploitable hole, someone will make a worm.
The ones who get caught should be punished, but I really see no gain in trying to discourage people from writing worms.
Virii and trojans is a slightly different thing, as they cannot be prevented by just using secure software.
Playing with electronics is not wrong. And as long as it is your there is no problem.
I guess that people will understand themselves that if you can build furniture out of FedEx boxes, you can do so with UPS boxes too.

Use dispatch-conf instead. Still not perfect, but a lot better than etc-update.
Aren't you underestimating the engineers at NASA if you think they cannot make a safe shuttle without CFC?
Standard PCs have a lot of flexibility that thin client solutions lack.
Still, I consider it a problem when large corporations use their power to control what the media writes.

Sweden changed the DST period few years ago. As far as I remember there were no big problems.
:-)
Microsoft changed it through some Windows patch, and *nix people tend to fix things themself
This shows that sometimes, a hyped name and a lot of marketing and media attention actually hurts a technology.
Unless the phising site immediately logs in to your real bank and gets the picture.
It will at least make it harder for phishers though.
I never understand why. They don't seem too have too much against selling non-DRM CDs.
