Just give it a good heave retrograde (backwards with respect to the direction of orbit).. however I think the delta V required to fall into the atmosphere in less than 1 orbit at LEO might be on the order 1000's of m/s.. you'd have to have a pretty good arm.
Hmmm.. plus I think the action of a spring loaded, retrograde pointing trash removal system will actually add prograde momentum, thus boosting the orbit.
Umm... how about "Moore is a fat, untalented propogandist who is only out to make money and I expect the next film to be about the fake-moon theory and how Bush is behind the deception".
When dealing with what will most likely be a very restricted subset of the base class library, the differences between C# and C++ or Java really begin be less and less noticible I suspect. Just think basic syntax and structure.. all 3 of those languages have thier roots in C and share a common syntax. Strip away the bells and whistles, and they're more or less the same thing.
Just make sure theres no physical link between the honeypot and your network. If you want to examine the system after the investigation, remove the disks and mount them on another system with no execute permissions.
I put a 100 Mbps switch between my firewall and my router for this purpose. Have 1 address in each of my blocks not ARP'd to go to the firewall for this purpose.
I hate IE, but let me draw an analogy here. I write web applications. Just as the author of some console program used over telnet is not scoffed at by saying the application requires specific features in a client, web app developers are not out of line asking for a uniform client for thier applications. For chrissakes, it halves the QA time and the developers spend less time dealing with UI rendering considerations and more time coding application code.
Back during my stint in the US Army Signal Corps, I worked in end-user tech support in a Field Artillery brigade. That job was a wealth of computer stupidities, but my own gaffe takes the cake.
I was upgrading a 386 to a 486 at the time. It was frustratingly easy to insert the 486 the wrong way into the socket. I did exactly that. Powered up the system, staring a blank screen, my co-worker yells "dude!", then I hear the crack.
During the after-action review, he told me the processor achieved quite a lovely shade of red brefore the ceramic cracked. 486 CPU's were pricey back then and I was a little nervous, as the military tends to be very by-the-books when it comes down to breaking equipment. Didn't have to pay for it though.
The foolproof way to make sure that machines dont take over the world is to give 'em all a brain with an HTTP server TCP stack installed and an "always on" connection to the net... just post a story on slashdot saying "the robots are getting out of hand" and the problem will take care of itself. </WIT>
The theory is that with.NET you won't need ANY platform specfic code. If that turns out true, I will be completely amazed.2
If you write "pure.Net" (i.e. no native calls) and use the class libraries supported in Mono, you can compile on windows and run your exe in the Mono runtime. I've done it before.
The GTK# class libs (wrappers around GTK+) exist in both linux and windows versions. Just read the article for a sample of this.
I can even access a SQL server database from my application runing on a linux box without any re-compilation (thanks to the FreeTDS project!).
I mean, I don't think they should have shown nip during a prime-time TV event, but after watching a documentary on Iraq during the war on a major network at about 8pm on a weeknight and seeing some footage of executions in Saddam's Iraq, I kind of found the "what about the children" argument silly.
Perhaps not.. my best server right now has 4 CPU's running at 2.6 Ghz, 1GB RAM and a little over.25TB of disk space. 2007 is a few years off, and if PC hardware improvements continue as they have been for the past 5 years or so, I can see a config like the one I mention above being acheivable in a desktop system.. however, the hardware now barely fits in a 5U server.
Being able to use the framework without having to buy vs.net or use iis would be neat
The SDK for the framework (aka, compilers and VM) are available free of charge from the ASP.Net web site. VS.Net is really just a (rather good) IDE with excellent support for the MS compilers.
Me and another developer had come up with an I-tunes-ish idea a few years back, around the time of the death of napster. The problems with digital music production, as far I as I could think of were as follows:
Any transfer of media involved making a copy. We all know how the recording industry feels about copying.
In my personal opinion, I didn't think a music dowload service could be sold to media companies without near-bulletproof copy protection. Every scheme I could think of was either crackable (one extreme) or would hinder fair use (other extreme)
And most importantly, how do you get someone to pay for something that can be obtained freely?
When the idea hit me, I was floored. I was going to make millions. Then, once I began working out some technical issues, those 3 points kept popping into my mind.
I listened to an audio short story once where the plot centered around an interstellar transporter device. As the story went, you were put under, scanned, tranmitted then the original was destroyed. The twist in this story was something went wrong, and the "original" woke up before being destroyed.... anyone remember the name of this?
Only in a MS development shop could C# be perceived as hardcore. For me, it's harder to code VB.Net than C#. If you know java, C# has almost zippo learning curve. VB.Net is an ugly language..

Good fucking god...
"The Diebold central tabulators use a program called 'GEMS' that saves vote totals in Microsoft Access, a Windows-based database program."
This should immediately disqualify the prototype.

thhpt!
Bring it on man! I have years worth of logfiles :D!!!!

Isn't the way the proto handles issues like this defined in the RFC? If so, is M$ releasing a non-standards IP stack?
I consider myself a form of NeoCon and I loathe offshoring.
Then again, I'm a IT pro in the US. A little biased that way.

Don't have my PPL yet, but getting there.. what kind of effect would wake turblence have on an airframe? Perhaps stall one wing? (90 deg roll)
Or.. try this one - seriously. Before you hit enter, read each command you type after you type it.

If I paid for a 3rd party lib, I'd be justified in insisting I can treat it like a black box and I should be able to trust it.
