Sigh... You are Dark Matter. Dark Matter is mostly just a term cosmologists used to refer to matter that cannot be seen with a telescope. Planets orbiting other stars cannot be directly seen because they are too small and do not emit/reflect enough lisgt to be seen by our telescops. The ather part of Dark Matter is particals (like the LSP mentioned) that are heavy, cannot be seen, but interacts with gravity.
So yes, there are life forms consisting of Dark Matter that are as oblivivious to us as we are to them. They are the people that DON'T read Slashdot.
It's amazing what qualifies as "music" these days. There was no flow and it was too discordant to considered music im my opinion. I would rather listen to thrash metal!
Back in '93 I had a chance to talk to someone that worked at Sandia National Labs. He said that there had been at least one case where a women failed the retina scan because she was pregnent. It turns out that, at least in some cases, a women's retina changes when she becomes pregnent.
I wonder if the retina scanner makers have addressed this problem?
If RFID tags where in everything, and the govt. had RFID readers everywhere, then I might be a little concerned. However, even if RFIDs where that pervasive, it would still be easy to become invisible to all those RFID scanners. Just microwave all your clothes. As small as ther are I cannot imagine an RFID tag being able to remain intact when hit with a large EM field. Tracking down and disabling RFIDs in your vehicle shouldn't be that difficult either.
There is really only one reason why MS went through all the trouble to get Win2k certified at CC-EAL4 (Equivalent to Orange book c2). MS wants the governemnt to upgrade to Win2k. Until now, many government sites would only use NT4.0 SP6a because that was the lates MS OS with the C2 certification. But now that Win2k SP3+ has recieved the, C2 equivalent, EAL4 certification, the government will be free to use Win2k on many of their systems without violating any secirity regulations.
The CC certification does not prove that Win2K is free from security related bugs, nor does it realisticaly prove that Win2k is secure. All it does is prove that Win2k, in certain configurations, adhears to the requirements of a EAL4 rated protection profile.
The primary goal of Freenet is anonymity. This means that there are some limitations/restrictions placed on the design. The IRIS project has some of the goals as Freenet, but they are not constrained by the additional goal of maintaining absolute anonymity. Without the need to maintain anonymity, they can focus on performance and scalability. They don't need to work about hiding the identity of the author and readers. Freenet is a great project and I hope that they can achieve all their goals. But, their project will never produce a general purpose distributed data storage solution. However, it looks like IRIS and related projects like Cord and CFS will do just that.
I don't know what the market share distribution is between the different distros, but I would not be surprised if it follows a power law.
As long as Linux remains open-source, and adhears to open standrards, there will never be a monopoly. There will always be a #1 distro, but which is number one, may change from time to time.
A high-res CCD could be viewed as a collection of low-res CCDs. So, design a high-res CCD that has multiple output paths. Each output path would go to a seperate computer and the data could then be recombined to construct the original frames.
The data from a 1280x1024 CCD could be split into 16 320x256 segments.
Of course someone's got to make the CCD, and I imagine having 16 computers connected to the same CCD probably poses some interesting problems. But, I'm sure that it is solvable.

You might want to check out QmailToaster. It's free, supports multiple domains, has a web interface, and has SPF and ClamAV integration.

Aparently I can't read today. The artical was about IRIS scanners, not RETINA scanners.
Oh well, so much for improving my Karma.

Has anyone else heard of this issue?
