Hold on, the MPAA can tell me what to do when I'm not even American?
I know what they are trying to do is proper, and cutting the supply off at the central source is tonnes better than the underhanded suing kids and grannies, but I'm not even American.
We need copyright to protect Linux and Open Source in general, but surely only where laws are in place?
side note, can American filesharers use proxies in remote countries to protect themselves from **AA lawsuits?
I think this is very ease to solve in its preferences.
A simple role selection box. Make it default to current "careful" practice. Allow the option to change to tolerate all known valid adware, but remove trojans, this leaves the mild things on for kids with desktops and novelty crap. Possibly a stronger option for workplaces etc which basically deletes anything even remotely compromising. Have the strongest option locking the machine to the working set of executables at installation time.
Windows is with us, running as admin is unfortunate, but a great many people worldwide do, we can't change that, so lets protect them as much as possible:)
My understanding of the RFID system is that it stores enough of a key to contain details like Manufacturer, Product, Revision and Batch in one large 64bit number with enough change left over for its own serial code.
Just like the encoding of your engine VIN number except with much greater detail.
part of the audit trail these devices goes through is MUCH more efficient if a costly database lookup for every single item is not required at every single instance.
Imagine the hoppers counting chips. These can be made VERY efficient when combined with rfid. However, if the details are stored on a backend central database an additional network lookup is required for each individual chip just to find its type, I know computers have scaled quite a bit at the moment, but it just doesn't make sense to even consider that.
Of course, sometimes the detailed specific product details and history are required and this is when it can be linked to the backend database, but other than that, its not required.
RFID in a store will work in a similar manner, the full product type is held in the barcode, and a lookup based upon its type reveals the store price of that item, but the fact remains its a tin of beans, and a $100 chip is a $100 chip.
I think the problem runs deeper, but I would like something similar available as a preference option (similar to adding domain names to links, offer a mirrored[?] link opener)
The other main problem with coral is that it only archives the initial file linked, therefore you cannot browse an entire site using coral - any links within the cache are still linking to the original site.
Coral could be immensely useful for different media types however, like the large movie files occasionally posted on the front page, but if code changes are being made, why not just go full hog and allow a choice of coral, or even slashdot mirrors, or automatic mirrordot mirroring?
Use something that can still work on port 80 rather than restricting people.
Didn't the powerpc have something approaching this. I remember the old motorola 68000 range having 16 32bit regs for general coding, and one of the prime benefits of the ppc was the vastly greater registry capacity.
I stopped coding assembler when I moved to x86 - what a horrible cludge of a stack stack biased platform it is.
Its only new software thats sucking up all the extra processing power.
Remember back with really sluggish 33mhz 486s etc (and a lot lower) and thinking of the ultimate computer being a whole 50mhz. Well now you got a computer thats over 10 times faster with practically infinate capacity.
Fire up that old operating system and run you original software, you will be in heaven!
If all slashdot links were coralised, then I might as well not come to slash. A firewall outside my control restricts access to basically everything bar port 80. If the cache system had been done on port 80, then I could view it, but as it is, its useless to me.
I doubt I am the only one. Also, since I am not behind this firewall all the time, I have clicked other coral links, but tbh, only a very few have ever actually worked well, the rest just hang and lock and have the same errors as the original. The only amusing thing is seeing Coral cache the error messages:)
Actually, the design of these reactors is nothing short of ingenious.
The reactive elements are spherical pebbles, each with just a tiny amount of radioactive material inside.
Individually, they do not have enough material to go critical. when you put them all together inside the reactor, the shape of them puts its nearest neighbour just in range to react.
If the reaction begins to cascade, the elements heat up and expand. This automatically seperates them and cools the stack back down.
You can pour new elements into the top, and extract the lowest from the bottom in a relatively safe manner.
I think at the moment, putting the suggest on the main front page would put a large strain on the system.
Granted its a strong network, but its certainly not invulnerable. gmail has knocked itself out a few times, and recently the DOS and associated splattering in the media took them off the map for a day ("clicky, "is it back up yet?", "dang! no", clicky, clicky, clicky, "nope, still not working")
I guess one or two of the PHDs at google have crunched the numbers and found out how much bandwidth would be required/wasted for this very nice feature.
There is also the thinking that using a dictionary search will increase hits on those sites listed in the keywords at the detriment to other possibly more relivant sites.
I think the best compromise at the moment is the "did you mean xyz" suggestion for possible spelling errors after a search.
For you, just change your homepage, then you get it always.
Slashdot Mirror
Yet another research field where Porn leads the way.
d) MPAA profit.

I use a particle accelerator with Windows all the time.
;)
I can't stand LCD monitors, CRT all the way
Here you go, I found the source for you :)

Forget leaving with worthless chips, just take your own scanner in and locate all the people carrying high value chips.
Easy money for a stalker.
I'm Feeling Lucky
Yes they have, but I'm afraid this is WAY beyond your technical abilities.
;)
Best stay at home with your copy of Windows Me.
If you want to live dangerously, you could also try editing exe files with wordpad.
They work better afterwards and have your name in the titlebar
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaa - it does update the internal links when coralling a site, clicking a follow on will bring up a secondary coralised page.
:)
maybe its mirrordot that doesn't?
oh phoey, glad I have my sig

How many strips of gold pressed latinum is this going to cost me?
Snopes says the bug is fixed, but on my computer here its still giving the wildly innacurate directions.
I agree, no plugins or annoying web crap needed.
Exactly as you expect from google.
Clean and simple.
Except for the rather massive restriction of having USA only (I'm European) its impressive.
Of course it could just have been a typo...
I tried to correct it last night, but the 2 minute rule kicked in.
time = town.
Here :)
When you wake up with a trojan horse head lying in your startup folder you KNOW its time to leave time.
Why haven't they arrested Billy yet then?
;)
After all, he was the leader of the DOS gang
The code may be the same, but the media format is different.
