    Yeah but my 20year old Merc is still original with no time in the shop other then normal upkeep and probably with 3X the miles then his trans-am he had to restore 3 times. And for the style comment, I guess thats a matter of taste -I rather have a gorgeous old MB then a cranked out, muscle head, grease monkey american car.

    Ever hear of a company called Cisco? They use tons of BSD code, and they don't have to show it to you.

  7. Same here on Ricochet Dead By June? · · Score: 1

    $70 a month is way to much. For my laptop I use bellatlantic mobile wireless for a quarter of the price and it works just fine for SSH sessions and getting e-mail.

  8. The only way they can currently make money on Altavista's Planned Patent Lawsuits · · Score: 1
    Hate to say it but CMGi has been in some major ruts recently. They came to a point where the only way they can make money is from there legal department. Sounds like Unisys and Many others. CMGi will learn real fast that long drawn out law suits against small search engines and dotcoms will pull in less money than their AV portals....

    I am not even going to mention how lame these patents are because it would be redundant. Many of my friends work for CMGi companies and they always talk about how shitty it has become since Dave W got on board. Good luck guys.

  9. This brings up another issue on Diablo2: Apocalypse Now! · · Score: 1

    I'm not going to rant about what I think about this other than I saw it coming a mile away. But I am going to say this. This brings up the issue when items are actually being sold in meat space for real currency these companies, in this case Blizzard, have to take action on these issues and beef up security. Do the prices on certain auction sites drop for specialty items now? -Kris

  12. I see this more and more in the future.. on Sim Plague · · Score: 1

    ...People coding to make themselves a host that is carring virri in virtual worlds. But this can be played into the games, just think of medics and wizards that can put a "patch" so to say on the infected users, they have to hack the virus in the world. Oh man that would be cool.... I think when PDAs get more and more wireless we will be meeting for a business lunch and our business cards will automatically transfer to the people you meet. Just think of an injected virus from the wireless card reader app into your PDA ... to much yap -Kancer

  14. What scares me about Gen-foods is.... on Learning About Genetic Engineering On The Net · · Score: 1
    1) Pesticides and "improvements" genetically grown into foods, which is allready being done. 60% of soy in the US is gen'ed which is consumed by cattle and other farm animals and get into meat/eggs with unknown side affects. "Newleaf"potatos, carrots and "Bt-corn" in the USA are grown with a buildt in toxin to kill or keep bugs away. This has a few side effects:

    1a)Super bugs, bugs that evolve and can withstand no matter what you throw at them and can live in extreme locations. Affects and termination of none targeted insects such as butterflies and bees(the ones that pollinate...) 1b)Mass toxic ground leakage, the toxins in large amount leak into the ground making the soil unuseable

    2)There is almost Zer0 regulation on this stuff and no long term testing.

    3)Hyper plants cross pollonate with an oragnic farmers crop. Later on scientists find the hyper plant is bad but it is to late and has spread to all crops.

    One 44k packet gets amplified to one 1500k packet. From the site:

    Here I have three slaves (199.77.146.20, 199.77.146.103, 199.77.158.61) being stimulated to send 30 1500-byte packets per second to address 24.88.48.47 (my cable modem). The combined bit rate is 3 x 30/s x 1500 bytes x 8 b/B = 1,080,000 bits/s. I could have increased the rate several times, but not much more would have interfered with the network.
