the Cost comes that they can not generate enough hashes in a day to send out all of their spam email.
if they cant generate enough hashes, then they cant spam the hell out of people.
Say it takes 1 second to generate a stamp...
60*60*24=86400
86,400 emails a day total. Obviously, we can increase the amount of time required by unknown people to generate a stamp, say you make it 5 seconds. It makes it annoying to generate all the hashes.
"The real question is this: would you rather program against the pitiful number API's that come with C#, or the huge Free Software diversity that you get with C?"
well, with.NET in the name of the software shouldn't it follow the.NET way? That means no matter what language it is programmed in you can make use of it with another language?
That statement is made incorrect if it is not possible to use the C coded libraries from C#.
However, they can (and probably are) be refering to communicating with libraries on the local system written in C. In that case, you can still use the libraries from C# you just have to import them in a "Special" way. Almost the same as making your own headers for the library. Whereas with the C version you migt be able to just use it because the header already exists. This problem has been around with using any library with any other language, so nothing new. Microsoft has done it this way with C++.NET. C++.Net can interface with libraries with little effort.
The solution? Just make a wrapper library in C.Net and use it from C#.Net. Better yet, reproduce the library entirely in the managed language. Linking to outside libraries causes platform dependancy and kinda kills the point of the whole.Net idea (yes I know MS probably wont go around supporting other systems with.Net but they have advertised its cross platform abilities. Another reason why I don't think they will mess with Mono and other such projects.)
What I predict:.Net will fail in linux. Why? because Microsoft invented it. Thats the only reason. But there is a solution coming along that will probably be accepted by the linux community. perl6 and the parrot engine. From what I have read about the parrot engine, it works almost just lile.Net. Can run any language (After being adapted of course), has a Intermediate Language (its own ASM, like MSIL). Any language can use any libraries in any other language coded for it. I like this technology and it would be great to program for linux no matter what language you want to use.
from how i understand it, Jabber IS XMPP. all current Jabber libraries should be able to use a "XMPP" server. if anything does break only small changes to the library will probably have to be made. Either way they will be goin in that direction because all the servers will convert to the standard (if in fact there are any real changes to be made).
so I believe you are safe using the current Jabber libraries.
for your other question, I don't know anything about patents for it. wait till all the lawyers come by...
Thats great work. I honestly think thats what will make Jabber more popular. the fact that it can be used for really ANYTHING because of its XML roots. Sure you can have the app send instant messages to your friends, but nothings stopping the same network to add in special commands to do other things. Sure you *could* in theory accomplish this kind of stuff in AIM or MSN, etc, but it wil not be as easy. and it must be client side, whereas Jabber allows for many things to be server side
i like the different addon things there are out there already. like the Jabber Blog, some allow you to send/recieve email to the jabber account using your Jabber ID (because really it is only a email address). Multiple connections (for resources) is great and will obviously become absolutely needed in the future when everyone wants to be connected at ALL times and be reached no matter where they are or what there using (cell phone, PDAs, etc) without having a username/password for each device.
That means things to do besides sit in front of the box and live my life vicariously through some stupid sitcom.
This obviously doesn't include sitting in front of the other box, living your life complaining about others who like TV and don't agree to your ideals.
I agree. Even in the pictures the rooms look too dark to live in.
pricing is also a problem... you can go here and buy a 30watt equal for... $180.50! Has 36 LEDs.
I think LEDs will more than likely gain share in accent lighting to provide the "cool" effects like those in the pictures because there great for that and direct lighting (under cabnets?)
you DO know that Google don't cache images right? They only cache the HTML. So your cache for the images is completely useless and the site will be slashdotted anyways.
genkernel doesn't ask anything. For the most part, it takes most of the options and compiles them as modules, then it lets hotplug take care of the work or loading modules of new hardware attached and such.
while you do end up with a boatload of modules, it allowed me to setup my compact flash reader by just plugging it in and mouting/dev/sda, which i liked.
even the 2.6 kernel makes it easy to do something like this with hotplug by doing a "make allmodconfig && make".
very odd, my Windows XP CD checks the computer for a specific amount of ram (64mb i believe) which it obviously doesn't have. Also complained about my brothers laptop untill he added more RAM. suprised you have it installe don there. Run well? hehe
I have WinXP installed on a 533MHz Celeron (first kind, near the time P2 was released, the ones overclockers loved) and i've installed Windows 2000 on a 233MHz processor with only 32mb of RAM, WinXP refused to install on it.
I know how you feel
But in your case you have seven miles, I have a 1 minute walk away from my house to the end of my road to find Cable lines where the cable company refuses to run down my road due to "not enough people" or some other bull they want to feed me.
They tell me I can pay to have the cable ran, but i would never be compensated for any income they generate. Great Deal!
Also, I am only a few hundred feet outside of the DSL serving area. Too much though for any real performance of DSL.
I believe it was supposed to crush Sony PlayStation because of the fact that porting from PC to XBox would be extremely easy compared to PC to Sony Playstation. The PS requires almost a complete re-write whereas the XBox barely does.
I wouldn't doubt that the reason for a new processor would to make it harder for linux to run on. I also don't care if linux runs on it or not, it's a gaming console, id never buy it for linux compatability nor run linux on it. "it's a cheap PC!" so what.
you dont?
the songs are downloaded off their servers for.99c each (from what I can tell its off their servers, nothing saying otherwise) and there in WMA format. How do I know? I have the software and am using it right now, it runs directly inside Windows Media Player 9. i pre-ordered so I got 5 free songs.
i believe the bill bans taxes for collecting tax over the border.
you got charged because it was a in-state purchase (Dell probably has a office in your state). however, if they have no office in my state and I order from them, they cant charge tax.
basically collecting X state tax while the person is in the state of Y.

At least until the Battery dies.
no you can't, you don't allow access to services over the internet. you are a service on the internet. big difference.
"a service that enables users to access content, information, electronic mail, or other services offered over the Internet"
reword it to...
"a service that enables users to access...the Internet"
I think the list of "things" confuses the definition. but it only says things that ALLOW this access, not the services themself.
