Slightly off topic, but since as I understand from this post there's someone up there, I'm asking myself about the possible problems the crew might have with the latest very strong solar emission. Sort of a billionth Xray machine exposure?
The europe is covered only at low resolution. I hoped to see my house, with no luck. However, it's still a beta release. Great job, although quite scaring.
bittorrent is very powerful, but as far as I know the packets are received randomly, and scrambled into the final file until finished (at least so it seems). Is it possible to use a bittorrent like approach for streamed contents?
Yes but keep in mind that a single sign-on system can be used for other purposes, from alleviate the burden of remembering tons of passwords (and accounts... my preferred login name is not available everywhere, so I finally have tons of modified login names and I have a lot of trouble remembering them all) to handling a grid sign-on. In these times where gridding is the future (and anonymous access to shared resources even more) knowing who you are and what you are allowed to do is very important.
Just some questions. Is the liberty alliance project still alive? does it provide a decentralized authentication proxy and will it be deployed concretely in some future?
There were a lot of rumors about this "passport killer" but now it seems to be faded into silence.
Google is the mirror of the internet human knowledge. Without google a lot of people wouldn't able to work, or at least doing it could become really hard. For this reason, i think someone should bring the fact that google is a gift for the humankind as a whole, and for this reason be preserved by the government of each (free) nation.

me too, but there's a little problem. When man landed on the moon, 30 years ago, everyone on the planet started to dream about lunar cities and more sf projects.
The big problem in this world is "if doesn't generate incoming, is crap". Pure research and pure human promotion to advanced levels of glory and technology is crap until it doesn't create money.
Mars landing and colonization probably would be a great jump for the mankind (quoting Amstrong), but landing on the moon was only a personal battle against USSR. Now that the Sovietic union has some other kind of problems to worry about than the moon or mars, there's no longer interest to burn money in something that don't create a direct income nor a direct victory against some human opponent.
Once arrived on mars, the only thing a human exploration team can do is ride the planet a little, do some terrain prospection, do some biological research, and then return to home, due to oxygen or food. Build up some dome, create a small lab etc.. need material, so cargos, so money, a lot of money.
imho, probably we will be able to see man on mars (or maybe only a cinematographic scenario?) but honestly i think that there will be no lunar or mars installation before a centenary, maybe 2.
- transmeta releases its chip. Sony, hitachi and others think "interesting! just build up something". IBM awaits.
- IBM refuses to implement the TM in its laptops, adducting (and being right about) performance problems. In the underground, develop his code morphing engine.
- Transmeta, without the IBM support, now search someone to catch in the idea, just not to fight alone between giants.
Adding code morphing capability to AMD Processor should reduce the overheat who often afflicts the AMD processors. So everyone (TM and AMD) have something to learn in this partnership.

I am currently in France, but I'm connecting to my italian provider in Italy. My IP is italian, but i'm 1100 Km far away from Italy.
What technology can route my call to the french "911"? Should we expect GPS into laptops soon ?

it really sucks :)

Every news on SCO is a joke, regardless the date it is posted.

a 100$ tax is imposed on every vehicle to gather the uncatched speed limit violations.

1d20. Or is your happy birthday like a short sword hit ? :P
The list does not analyze autopackage. Despite it's really recent, it has some interesting features, and as far as i tried it works really well.

26,000$ in 3 hours are only...
:)
(ticckle tackle on my pocket calculator)...
144 $ per minute...
ok... may i look for only 5 minutes and keep my eyes closed for the remaining time of the flight?

maybe a commercial for MicroSoft should sound like this:
"My god... It's full of bugs!"
