But I suppose if you're doing a raid on a Columbian drug lords compound, hiding the wing wouldn't matter much.
but how abought (gasp!)when I hit the power button, an appliance (computer, TV, VCR, stereo, whathefuggever!) just turns off, much like 'old' ATX computer's used to do - when you hit the power button, it controlled a relay that turned off the actual p/s. It required physical contact (hitting the button again) to start the computer again... This meant I could turn off my comp if it froze without holding down the power button for 4 secs... of course, if I want it to sleep/hibernate, that's different...
when I hit the power button, I want something to turn off. period. no sleeping, no drawing an extra watt or two, off should mean off!

But who's suprised that the *feds* can brute force a WLAN? From my own (albiet limited) understanding, it's not to hard to packect sniff and crack on your own... The feds have moer CPU power than *most* average joes anyhow, so I'm just suprised that they decided to go public with this...
of the many disparaging comments above - I think this is neat...
As TFA states - it's cool because it's using something that many (better off) geeks already carry... And doesn't require you to do anything all that special...
Yes, you can use a normal thumbdrive - bit this is 20-40 gigs of space, and it's with a lot of people all the time...
And really, is it a big deal to throw a spare usb cable into your backpack, manpack, or car?
Glad that someone got this right -even if it IS the french...
Now, if we can use this in courst, but I don't think that international rulings will work to set a precedent - especially in the current mostly-anti-french culture that's prevelant in the US nowadays..

The primary author of the legislation, State Sen. Larry Mumper, told the paper the legislature never intended it to apply to individuals selling items over eBay. But Mumper, while vowing changes, couldn't say exactly who would or would not be exempt from the license requirement under any changes in the pending law.
The author of the legislation ( who does sound like a buffoon> says right there that this wasn't designed again ebay sellers... I was designed for normal B&M auctioneers.... I'm sure that our good friends in the government will be pai... change their mind soon enough....
This is ridiculous (sp)... But, this is why (at least here in the US) there are anti-trust laws - to offer a *hope* of a choice...Currently, I'm in Honduras w/ the Air Force, and it costs us out the ass every time we make simple phone call out off base - something to the tune of $.60USD a minute... All because tele[hones are rare around here or something...
Point is, competition is GOOD... after RTFA, all that I can see is the state backed company doesn't want to lose their precious sole income source... This is gonna be bad, but it sounds almost as bad as the RIAA and their ilk not wanting to deal with electronic music purchasing, so they seek to outlaw it in ALL forms....

The Net is decentralized... however, if several *LARGE* sites happen to be resolved through one DNS server and it crashes, people think that the 'net is down'...

Not realizing that just becuase one or two or thirty sites are down, the net is still up....
FWIW, I missed google for all of 10 minutes, and figured it was my work ISP....
Hell, my Coast Guard buddy CANNOT afford to live off base with a ~$1000/mo housing stipend in Alameda County..... a decent place for him and his wife + 2 dogs + 1 cat would be AT LEAST $1500/mo....

It really need VR glasses to make it 'happen'... The technology is sweet...

looks like more toys for the special boys.
At my last assignment, we used AVID video editors exclusively. We had a 24/7 next day delivery contract with them (12K per workstation!!!)
When our server died, (more accurately, the JBOD case) we had a new one the next day.
I guess it depends on what you're doing, but in that circumstance, it pays to use the industry leader - they're number one for a reason.
How come it took him a year to reply to /. ? Aren't we good enough for him, or were all those 'hot Norwegian babes' distracting him?

normally I don't bitch about the stories posted on
I almost bought it untill I saw the link..
find it ironic that the good drun^h^h^h^h senator can't get on planes becuase he's a terrorist...

What's the point of make a '3-d' desktop environment, when it's displayed on a 2-d monitor?
Untill we get some type of projected display, or headsey unit, or what have you, it's NOT 3-D... it's 2-d displayed to 'look 3-d'...
Watch TV sometime, you'll see how hard it is to TRULY display 3-d (and, no Tv's aren't 3-d either)
Besides, if it were truly 3-d desktop/filemanager environment, how am I going to be able to move my mouse in the 3rd dimension?
