No, but the routes which makes sense should be served, reliving the need for relatively inefficient air service.
For example, NYC to Washington DC. That's about 230 miles, or about an hour. I'd imagine that such a rail service could charge a good premium for the speed to all these business and gov people.
Air would be tremendously slower; just the overhead at both ends would probably be in excess of 3 hours.
My university offers static ips with user configurable hostnames. So I could have l33t...edu
Pretty sweet.
I would suggest SFTP support. PHP/perl script support? Ruby on rails?:D
The difference between T610/616 is that the T616 gives up GSM900 support for GSM850 support. Both supports GSM1800 and GSM1900.
Dropping GSM900 support is NOT a good thing as the best GSM networks are the GSM900 ones. GSM1800 networks have poorer coverage, furthermore, fewer operators support it.
Please. FPS gaming without a mouse is like coding without a keyboard.
I have a PS2, and the only use I have out of it is to play FFX. What an expensive game, but imo, it was worth it. Now that FFX-2 is out, the cost of playing FFX suddenly fell by about half.
Just a note: I played FF9 on the PC with ePSXe. Why should I live with *less* features with a console?

If there is no science, there wouldn't be any American jobs!
Would anyone in this world be interested in all american hand grown grain and potatoes? No f*ing way. China can grow 10x for less money.
Science is what gives America it's jobs - Let's see China building a 3Ghz chip, spacecraft (without buying 99% of it from Russia), or the other crap that we need that US companies have patents on.
If science is scrapped -> no patents -> $ drys up.

The New Paper - 04 Oct 2003 - E-MAIL BOMBER - By Andre Yeo
China-born PSLE student sends 161,064 messages to teacher
IF you have a Yahoo! e-mail account, you probably see a list of 25 messages when you open your inbox.
Now imagine logging in one day - and finding that your inbox has 6,443 such pages. Each page with 25 messages.
That's what happened to a teacher, whose account was flooded with more than 161,000 e-mail messages.
The culprit: A bored schoolboy who hacked into an online portal.
The police said he is the only juvenile to be arrested for hacking this year.
The 15-year-old, a Chinese national, will be taking his PSLE next week. He and his school cannot be named as he is a juvenile.
According to court documents, the boy was an account holder of MoreAtOnce.com, an online service portal.
His principal told The New Paper that it is a subject-based learning portal where her students and teachers are provided e-mail accounts.
Teachers can set quizzes on subjects like English, Maths, Science and Chinese on the portal and students can access it to do these assignments.
Homework is also submitted online, and students can e-mail one another and teachers too.
During the March holidays, the boy felt bored at home. His principal said his mother was a study mama working as an enrichment tutor and had left her only child at home. She said the boy's father is in China. Study mamas come from China with their children to enrol them in schools here. With nothing to do at home, the boy accessed the site and tested it for weaknesses. He managed to open the school's address book and copied the e-mail addresses of all the teachers. He then managed to get the teachers' passwords to the portal. With their usernames and passwords, he was able to access other portals. He also hacked into the accounts of several students. Then on May 25, he flooded the e-mail account of one of his teachers with 161,064 messages. It is not known why he did it. On Jun 23, officers from the Criminal Investigation Department's Technology Crime Investigation Branch raided his flat and seized his computer and computer peripherals. His principal said the boy was a good student.
She said: 'He doesn't know the implications of what he was doing. It's cybercrime and it's something new to us.'
She added that he had to see a counsellor because of the offences and is still studying at the school. Despite his brush with the law, she was confident he would do well in his exams. She said: 'He is a bright kid and should be able to get a number of A-stars for the PSLE.' And as to where he learnt his hacking skills, she said: 'He learnt all that from the Internet. Our school doesn't teach them that.'
According to MoreAtOnce Pte Ltd's website, its business partners include the Ministry of Education, the National Heritage Board and the Singapore Zoological Gardens. The company declined to comment.
35 charges in court
THE boy faced 35 charges under the Computer Misuse Act, mostly involving the MoreAtOnce web portal. Nine charges were proceeded with while the remaining 26 were taken into consideration. He was found guilty and his case was adjourned to Nov 11.
A police spokesman said that from 2000 to 2002, only one juvenile was arrested for hacking. He was a 15-year-old Indonesian boy who had hacked into a server belonging to Data Storage Institute and was fined $15,000 by the juvenile court. The spokesman added that except for yesterday's case, no other juvenile was arrested for computer hacking this year.
There has also been a drop in the number of reported computer hacking cases, from 15 in 2001 to eight in 2002. The youngest hacker caught so far was a 15-year-old teen who was arrested with several others in 1999 for ha
Nokia reacted to the news with concern and caution. "We're aware of it and we're taking it seriously," a spokesperson for the Finnish phone-maker told GameSpot. "Right now we are looking into the claims." He went on to add that Nokia would formally respond later today or tomorrow.

Attempted attack on Linux kernel foiled
By Robert Lemos, CNET News.com
Friday, November 7 2003 10:07 AM
An unknown intruder attempted to insert a Trojan horse program into the code of the next version of the Linux kernel, stored at a publicly accessible database.
Security features of the source-code repository, known as BitKeeper, detected the illicit change within 24 hours, and the public database was shut down, a key developer said Thursday. The public database was used only to provide the latest beta, or test version, of the Linux kernel to users of the Concurrent Versions System (CVS), a program designed to manage source code. The changes, which would have introduced a security flaw to the kernel, never became a part of the Linux code and, thus, were never a threat, said Larry McVoy, founder of software company BitMover and primary architect of the source code database BitKeeper.
"This never got close to the development tree," he said. "BitKeeper is really paranoid about integrity, and it turns out that was key to finding this Trojan horse." (Emphasis mine)
Linus Torvalds, the original creator of Linux and the lead developer of the kernel, uses BitKeeper to keep track of changes in the core software for the operating system. On a daily basis, the software exports those changes to public and private databases other developers use.
An intruder apparently compromised one server earlier, and the attacker used his access to make a small change to one of the source code files, McVoy said. The change created a flaw that could have elevated a person's privileges on any Linux machine that runs a kernel compiled with the modified source code. However, only developers who used that database were affected--and only during a 24-hour period, he added.
"The first thing we did was fix the difference," he said. "It took me five minutes to find the change."
When BitKeeper exports the source code to other servers, it checks the integrity of every file, matching a digital fingerprint of its official version of the file with the version on the remote machine. That comparison caught the change to the code stored on the server.
The changes looked like they were made by another developer, but that programmer said he hadn't submitted them, McVoy said.
The recent incident raises questions about the security of open-source development methods, particularly how well a development team can guarantee that any changes are not introducing intentional security flaws. While Microsoft code has had similar problems, closed development is widely considered to be harder to exploit in that way.
Linus Torvalds addressed the issue in a post to the Linux kernel mailing list.
"A few things do make the current system fairly secure," he stated. "One of them is that if somebody were to actually access the (BitKeeper) trees (software repositories) directly, that would be noticed immediately."
A critical security flaw was found in CVS in January, but it's unknown whether the attacker used the vulnerability to gain access to the CVS database.
BitKeeper's McVoy hopes the current incident will quash objections raised by some members of the development who don't want to add a new feature that would require all changes to be digitally signed.
Even so, he said, the open-source development model likely would have quickly turned up any security flaws.
"A Trojan horse is just a bug that a person has put into the system deliberately," he said. "The open-source security model is that everyone is using this stuff, so bugs get found and get fixed. That's one of the reasons that you are not hearing me freak about this."
McVoy said the disk from the compromised server has been saved for later analysis, but any decision to contact law enforcement belongs to Torvalds and others. Torvalds could not be immediately reached for comment.

Your sales figures are for WORLDWIDE sales, while iTMS and other music downloading services likely only supports USA. Don't think Canada is included either.
How is this a fair comparison?
If IPv6 falls on us suddenly tomorrow, I bet we'll see the first programs supporting it in a week or two. Unless the app makers plan on going out of business, they'll deliver.
Besides, alpha stacks already exist for XP and *nix.
I have no firewalling on my main machine(XP/Mandrake) - Don't need it. Of course, I block a few ports at the NAT router - ports like 135-139 etc, and disable non-essential services.
The reason why I don't have my main do NAT is because it's not on constantly. Plus, I don't like running externeous services.
IM file transfer is not the only issue - I've got one case where a friend couldn't ftp in. He was on some university network that presumerably also uses NAT.
Both the IM issue and this cleared up once I directly connected my main box to my cable modem.

But the chart should be readable.
Btw, it is illegal in my country to have sim lock.
A T610 or a T616 can be had for about $250. Specs here.
The phone supports J2ME, and I found a J2ME client.
This phone works on Macs - you can even remote control your mac!
The difference between T610/616 is that the T616 gives up GSM900 support for GSM850 support. Both supports GSM1800 and GSM1900.
Dropping GSM900 support is NOT a good thing as the best GSM networks are the GSM900 ones. GSM1800 networks have poorer coverage, furthermore, fewer operators support it.
What about anime?
FYI, pirated console games are cheaper than pc games. Even if they are dvds and cost slightly more to make.
Region coding? Does it matter?
Isn't being region free a standard feature for all players?
Please. FPS gaming without a mouse is like coding without a keyboard.
I have a PS2, and the only use I have out of it is to play FFX. What an expensive game, but imo, it was worth it. Now that FFX-2 is out, the cost of playing FFX suddenly fell by about half.
Just a note: I played FF9 on the PC with ePSXe. Why should I live with *less* features with a console?
However, I would think that 64bit implementations of distributed computing clients would be much faster than the current 32bit clients.

All IDE solutions peak out at 8 drives (aprox 3T by current limits).
What's stopping me to just add a second 3ware card and another 8 drives? 64bit and/or 66mhz pci of course.
Having a GigE card (~100MB/s) and a raid card (~100MB/s) on the same 33mhz 32bit pci bus (~133MB/s) doesn't make sense to me.
Does this "problem" ;) affect the newer surfboard 5xxx series? /me prays that his biege 3100 will live forever
