Will you be able to justify the time and expense of a) reviewing Carnivore, and b) deploying Carnivore, when Network ICE has created Altivore, an open source program which claims to do everything for which the DOJ says that they need to use Carnivore?
When I submitted this story, I did put a little tongue-in-cheek comment about, "we haven't had a CueCat story in three days", or something to that effect. CmdrTaco edited that one out.
Bear in mind that AMD hope to have dual cpu duron and athalon mobos out in the next 4 months, and have 4 and 8 way ath boards out by the end of next year.
What's taken so long? Athlon and friends use the Alpha EV6 bus. There have been multiprocessor Alpha boards for ages!
BC: Hi! I'm Bob Costas, and welcome to NBC's incredibly wonderful coverage of the Olympics(tm). In fact, our coverage is so wonderful that we want you to enjoy the anticipation so much, that we wait till tomorrow! Now let's go to the events.
Cut to the 10000 meter run
Announcer1: Look! There's an American running in this race. He hasn't got a snowball's chance in hell of winning, but we're going to keep the camera trained on him, because we know you don't care about who wins if it's some foreigner.
Announcer2: That's right! Hey, look, the American guy just got lapped by some foreign dude. They should change the rules so that the Americans always come in first.
Cut to 20 minutes of commercials for Nike, IBM, and Coca-Cola
BC: Hi! I'm back. And weren't those commercials thrilling? Oh yes, here are the results of the 10,000 meter race. It was actually held yesterday, but we know you didn't want to know about them today. Some foreign guys won, so you don't care. But now we'll cut to a clip from four days ago at the pool, because we know you love to watch Americans accept their gold medals!
Cut to a clip of some US swimmer accepting their gold medal with the Star Spangled Banner playing in the background.
BC: Doesn't that just bring a tear to your eye? And we'll be showing you that clip every day! Looks off camera for a minute... What? Oh, I'm sorry. It appears that that athlete has been banned from the Games, and had her medal stripped because she said that she believes that Nike(tm) uses sweatshop labor. Darn. Now we'll have to find another heartwarming clip of an American accepting a medal. Meanwhile, it's off to the fencing competition.
Cut to yet another 20 minutes of commercials.
BC (showing bruises on his face): Sorry, I lost my head there for a minute. Management has "reminded" me that Americans don't care about fencing coverage, so we'll go to something else. Here's Rhythmic Gymnastic coverage...
Cut to the Rhythmic Gymnastic coverage
Announcer1: Hi. We're just down to the part where some pre-teen girl runs around the floor holding a huge ball, and we pretend it's a sport. We know you love this coverage.
Announcer2: Oh! She dropped the ball! Darn it, and she was an American, too! Now we'll probably have to broadcast some pictures of a foreigner. They should change the rules!
Cut 20 more minutes of commercials.
BC: Well, that wraps it up for our Olympic coverage for tonight. After your local news, we'll rerun this entire show, instead of showing other sports that WE know you don't want to watch.
Cut to 20 more minutes of commercials
Closing Credits. Includes the line: This is the property of NBC and the IOC. If you even talk to your friends about who won before we broadcast it, we'll sue your asses off!
People train for years just for a crack at the olympics. Haven't they ever heard of getting a job ?
Actually, dumbass, in the "non-glamour" sports, many people DO hold down "real" jobs, and train intensively in their spare time. These are the true Olympic ideals.
And how about NBC affiliate stations and the Today Show's cutsie:
"We're going to give you the results of the events, but we know you want to help our ratings by not finding out stuff until 24 hours after the fact, so leave the room while we tell you what happened. Then you can watch our commercial filled non-coverage in prime time, so we don't lose so much money!"
Ok, so they don't use those exact words, but you know what I mean...

I bought mine in '84 for about $40 at K-Mart. Of course, the 16K RAM Module was another $40...
I read in the LA Times several years ago that ASCAP tried to shake down the Girl Scouts for "Happy Birthday To You".
Oops, now I have to pay royalties!
I came up with similar numbers. I assumed constant force of 2N, a 200kg probe, and Pluto was 6x10^9 km away.
This gave me round numbers of 350km/s at approximately 400 days.

Microsoft and Intel were both added to the DJIA at the same time. Intel also trades on the NASDAQ.

Some of those companies will have to change their names if they don't get the TLDs... DotKids, Inc, and dotlaw come to mind.
Sounds like an error in an FoL, not an FoF. Aren't awards usually a finding of law or penalty?
I believe that's the basis for the Micron countersuit.
Here is a Java bytecode implementation of the Z3. Dr. Dobbs Journal had an article on it in their Sept. 2000 issue.
1 4M 50 31337!
I still have my Windows 1.03 that came with my (kickbutt) 10MHz 286 box! Five 360K floppies.

The Republicans would look silly arguing for both greater local control AND massive central-government-imposed censorship
Except that's exactly what they do.
The only acceptable standard of conduct is that your behavior should not cause harm to others or deprive others of their rights & liberties.
"What is hateful to yourself, do not do unto your neighbor. Now go home and study!" - R. Hillel
In this article, Wired, points out that Dick Armey got filtered! Armey is one of the leading Congressional proponents of filtering.
No, I didn't read it. I didn't download the book either. I'm not a King fan. I only know what I heard in the media.
. I don't know if you can use NAT/DCHP and PPPoE together on a BSD or Linux firewall box to get around all of this.
Alternatively, for about $150-200, you can get a DSL switch/router which will do all the PPPoE and NAT and has 4 ethernet ports.
I disagree. Since King said it was the "honor system", I think the shareware model applies. Download it, and if you like it, send in the cash.
The same article says that HotMail doesn't like it and has asked MSN to stop it, too!
Another thing, unrelated to service...
DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT get a USB modem. If you can avoid it, don't get an Alcatel modem. They are known to have problems with sync.
If your provider insists that you use PPPoE, try to get a router. Netgear RT-314 and RT-311 as well as the Linksys BEFSR41 or BEFSR11 seem to be pretty popular.
If you use PPPoE, and you don't want a hardware solution, try RASPPPoE instead of Enternet.
The advantage to the Linksys BEFSR41 and the NetGear RT-314 is that they are 4-port switches plus the DSL/CableModem router.
Also in his novel "Imperial Earth", where IIRC, he describes the ideal President as one "dragged kicking and screaming" into the office.
If you think about it, though, this really is pretty cool technology. Now we indeed have what amounts to a URL from meatspace into cyberspace.
So what happens if I make a barcode that happens to point to DeCSS. Does my barcode become illegal?
