Depends on whether it's pear connections use they're bandwidth effectively. What happens when they loose the connection? I have too say that their way to many pear too pear programs out they're too shut them down all ready.
Riiiight... and hypertext was so-called because someone's kid was always hyper. I suppose next you'll be telling us that Dell Computers was named after... er, wait... never mind.
Meanwhile, the architect's dialogue was written by some humans.
... and we're probably only given a third of the information that the dialogue is based upon. How can you understand 100% when you're missing more than half of it?
... is that it doesn't matter if IBM renews its license with SCO or not. Assuming you purchased AIX, you already have a valid license from SCO, purchased through IBM. Unless the license terms state that your license from SCO needs to be renewed and/or can be revoked at any time, SCO choosing to withdraw their licensing arrangement with IBM has no effect whatsoever on the legality of your copy of AIX. Naturally, if you purchase AIX *after* SCO revokes the license, then it will be an illegal copy.
Anyone here a lawyer? This could fall into several categories, namely extortion/racketeering, and potentially breach of contract. I can't see IBM agreeing to a clause in the contract which states that SCO is able to revoke the license upon 1 week's notice. That's just absurd.
This is a very valuable technique. After reading the Clavell novels (primarily Shogun) I was able to pick up and understand a small vocabulary of Japanese as it wasn't "dry" information. Hopefully this will be a great way to get management to clue in a little better to security without PHBs realizing that they're learning valable material.
How about when your cell phone batteries die and you want to call your friends from another phone? Plus, depending on how many friends you have, it's generally just as fast to dial the number straight away rather than looking up a name. And do you duplicate this system on all phones, your land lines too? If not, then you're picking up your land line phone, looking up the name in your cell phone, viewing the details, and dialing the number into your land line phone. After a few times, don't you think you'd naturally memorize it anyway?
Plus, domain names aren't a valid comparison. Domains can be accessed from any web browser on any computer. You can't access "John Smith" or whoever on any other phone -- only the one(s) you've programmed into it.
That's a serious problem, since as the article mentioned, they want to use these codes to replace addresses, instead of adding them on.
Given that the system is precise down to about a meter, if you write down the last digit incorrectly Grandma's birthday card will end up in a pile of dog shit three meters to the left of her mailbox.
Quick!! A customer of Frank's Fudge Emporium just ordered some fudge and wanted it packed immediately. What city does the postal code G03T53 represent?
Or like most people I know, have all of the numbers stored in a cellular phone and don't know any of the numbers that actually go to the people they call.
Besides, the numbers most people use on a daily basis are only 7 digits
What village are you from that still uses 7-digit numbers? Something like 91% of the population of the United States has to dial ten digits for every phone call.
Sure you have to dial 10 digits in most cities but the point is that you only have to remember 7 of those 10 digits, unless all your friends have unique area codes.
If you wanna see impossible, wait for that scene where you see Neo spinning around like a top with that pole when he fights those Smiths. And flies away at the same time. And accelerates his spinning.
But if he jumped really hard while spinning and holding the pole out at arm's length, he could bring the pole in close to his chest, thereby in order to preserve the angular momentum the rate of rotation would need to increase. Or, uh... I guess it could be done on computers. Ahem.
As for why AOL lets Nullsoft do things like this, I suppose the choice is either to let them work on what they want to or lose the talent. What Nullsoft is doing is the best thing for the net, and so is the best thing for AOL in the end.
The interesting question here is how does AOL profit from Waste? AOL is in business to gather as many paying customers as they can and return a value for shareholders. Funding the development of something which is given away for free and doesn't require you to be on AOL seems to go against this goal. Nobody's going to sign up for AOL service just because they released a cool distributed networking tool.
I read this when I was in my early 20's and it took about a month. I wasn't familiar with the formal system concept before, but it became obvious that it was unsolvable after you recognize the repeating patterns. The puzzle you refer to is specifically the "Can you produce MU?" question or, specifically, "is MU a theorem in the MIU-system?". Clearly, the answer to these questions can be either "yes" or "no". That you felt you were "had" indicates you hadn't considered the possibility that there could be a non-yes answer.

Damn, that's about the funniest thing I've read all day. Rather Douglas Adams-ish -- well done.

Try reading the parent post again. Clearly, you just didn't get it.

So what emotions does 'Goetse' evoke?
That's pathetic.
What you need is the Invincible Desk, or iDesk for short. ;-)
