One of the Cisco vendor in my area used to replace the original RAM chips from new Cisco routers before shipping. They used to replace those RAM chips with made in taiwan RAM chips which were dirt cheap (1/5th or lesser in price). Then this vendor used to sell those original RAM chips, that they earlier removed from Cisco routers to other customers at higher rate. PROFIT.
How do I know this?
The guy who use to work there, was my college mate during my Computer Science graduation days. You can still find all of us drinking beers on Weekends at near by joint.;-)
I remember one more on the same lines...
Mr. Heisenberg is driving on the free way and a police officer stopped him for speeding. Officer walks up to Heisenberg's car and asks him, "Sir, do you know how fast you are going?" Mr. Heisenberg said "Officer, I have no idea how fast I am going, but I know exactly where I am."
Electronic voting in India was first introduced in 1989 and used on experimental basis. From Year 2003, all state elections and by-elections were held using EVMs.
In India the chances of tampering with machine is less likely, since it is considered easy to fix people rather than machines.;-)
Tempest can be used to find out "who voted for whom" on an individual basis. The entire confidential process can be breached in this manner. Chances that Tempest being used are more since it does not require physical access to the machine.
Have a look at SmoothWall at http://www.smoothwall.org/
It's based on GNU/Linux and provides at par or better features and it is there for almost 4-5 years now.
I had implemented QOS (Quality of Service) using Class Based Queuing (CBQ) approximately 4 years ago on a Linux box. I use to limit bandwidth hogged by the ubiquitous P2P clients those days. I hope this kind of solution will still work in the current environment.
What are the chances that those aliens will be listening on those frequencies, if they are listening at all?
What are the chances that we will be still using Television after 90 Years. Have they made proper provisions to schedule the listening activity after 90 years?
Are these fitted with Laser on their heads?:-)
By the way this news is too old. I read it in print media couple of daze ago.

If you are selling/sending for repair, either your laptop or storage media, do not forget to take the backup and wipe out the entire content. Simply formatting/deleting the content may not help. The data will be still there, only the index (Allocation table) will be changed.

It is still not launched and all you can do is register for their early release program. Looks like they are generating hype by all the means they can utilize including posting on the slashdot.
I'm staying in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I'm still happily using Skype for my international calls.
I also work for the Saudi Telecom Company (STC) in IT Planning Department. I still haven't came across such an appliance or product which will block the VoIP trafic. Maybe the ball is still in the management's court.
Now there will be a new character to choose from in the next release of Counter Strike. You can select one as your team member to get rid off all those snipers.
I got Windows preinstalled; even though I do not use it at all. The money I paid for my Laptop must include the OEM version of Windows that I have got.:-(
If it would have not mentioned "Female" there, It would have been quite dificult to recognize the actual andriod in that photograph by just looking at the expressions on those two.

If you don't know where to crash land your satellites, then don't launch them.
What will be the US Govt. and US people reaction if ISRO predicts the crash landing of on of our satellites on your land?
Think over it.
It's not Ronald Regan but Warren Anderson, is the one we are looking for, who is fugitive and hiding in US.
Check Wikipedia and clear you doubts about the Bhopal disaster.

I was not blaming anybody, I was telling the facts.
I was a kid when the NASA predicted that Skylab will crash in India (Year 1979).
People from my town started spending money and cursing US fearing they will be dead after the crash. Within a week most of the people were financially broke.
Later, Skylab crashed into Pacific. It took a long for those people to recover.
In 2029, I predict Credit Card companies will do overwhelming business.
A software-defined radio (SDR) system is a radio communication system which uses software for the modulation and demodulation of radio signals.
An SDR performs significant amounts of signal processing in a general purpose computer, or a reconfigurable piece of digital electronics. The goal of this design is to produce a radio that can receive and transmit a new form of radio protocol just by running new software.
Software radios have significant utility for the military and cell phone services, both of which must serve a wide variety of changing radio protocols in real time.
The hardware of a software-defined radio typically consists of a superheterodyne RF front end which converts RF signals from and to analog IF signals, and analog to digital converter and digital to analog converters which are used to convert a digitised IF signal to and from analog form.
Software-defined radio can currently be used to implement simple radio modem technologies. In the long run, software-defined radio is expected by its proponents to become the dominant technology in radio communications. GNURadio is a project to implement software-defined radio as free software.

I searched for http://slashdot.org on http://tools.waglo.com/durl
The result showed hundreds of entries for slashdot with different descriptions.
At the bottom the last entry description was like this: Community weblog - for coders and geeks. Has interesting reputation management system - "Karma". Despite crap in discussions very frequently points to interesting links.
I don't know why we have such image in other people's minds.
On the site 2004weblogawards.com, though slashdot was discussed for the weblog awards, we didn't made it.
Check the following URL and see what they are talking about:

Check for the following comment: I would recommend Slashdot if they weren't so UNIX slanted, and full of idiots.
I think we (at SlashDot) should enhance our image infront of the world.
