The GPL needs an exploitable elastic clause added in which would go something like "all users and distributors of GPL software agree to take all actions necessary to agree with the spirit of the GPL license."
No, the IPv6 architecture is so designed that IPs will be dynamically allocated. All references to any system should be by hostname only. Besides, who wants to type 3fae:b01:c54:f1f1:da3c:af5c anyway?
On the other hand, if they instead used polarized light with the article's technology, you could move around as much as you want...and polarized glasses aren't as heavy as head mounted displays.
Part of the reason that carbon based life forms such as those living on Earth exist is due to the fact that the sp orbitals hybridize. This doesn't happen with silicon, so the existance of a silicon based life form probabalistically slim.
I have an Ultra 10, 440MHz. Although it's a little bit slow loading, it's a heck of a lot faster than netscape loading. The page renderer is also a lot better than netscape 4.x's (however mozilla's page renderer is vastly superior). Outlook express is also a lot more functional than Netscape messenger, which doesn't even support multiple pop accounts under UNIX.
Well, actually that was something in DP3, now for DP4, they added a magnify on mouse over feature which is nice looking and very useful. X should be able to do this. You can take a look over at the MacOS X Theater on the apple web site.
A portal site which interfaces with your web browser. It looks at which sites you visit most often and puts in excerpts and links to sites which would most appeal to the user.
However each script would try to authenticate the environment using a different method. The people that ran the servers could write custom scripts, using new methods of authentication, methods which a hacked version may not know about (since each script is could be custom written, there could be an infinite number of ways to authenticate the program files).
They should build a small scripting language into the code, and upon connecting to a server, a specialized authentication program could be downloaded off of the server. Ideally this would be a different authentication program, or a set of programs that are rotated. This program then would generate some sort of PGP-type signature of vital files, and return it to the server. The server would then look at the signature and see if it matches the signatures in its database, thus determining whether the client was a valid one or not. The scripting language would be limited on commands, to prevent any sort of abuse. Since the script sent by the server could be pseudo-randomly rotated, the client would never know exactly which response to send, if it were a hacked client with cheats.
This could make programming a lot faster. No more need to rely on keyboards...the code could fly out at the speed of the neural link... I'm frist in line!
Could they perhaps also use this technology to link our minds cybernetically?
Personally, I believe that things like this should be allowed, as long as they are mentioned somewhere (product packaging, EULA, etc.). Sometimes data collection is over criticized, such as the original implementation of cookies in Netscape. The bad press that cookies have recieved has rendered a good thing useless; people now reject cookies because they don't understand them. Data collection is overall better for the consumer. If you don't like this policy, all one needs to do is not buy the product. Since you've paid for a product, you have to accept what's included in it (unless it's open source). There shouldn't be any reason that this type of feature should be prevented -- it benefits the consumer. As long as they are not collecting information beyond what they should (credit card numbers, etc.), it provides a way for companies to better adapt their software towards consumers needs.
Isn't there some way this could be accomplished with some sort of magnetic levetation shoes of some sort? Electro-magnets could be put in place in order to control the "hardness" of a surface. Since you are floating in the air, you don't really have to physically move around. Some sort of simple sensor could then be used to locate the place the shoes are, and from that what direction they are moving in, thus doing stuff normally.
If you really wanted to get advanced, one could probably creating a rotation platform underneath, that rotates with the person turning. This would allow each shoe to possibly be controlled independantly by different electromagnets.
If that doesn't work, I think that probably the only way to get a user to be able to walk through a virtual system at this time would be to in some way suspend the user in air. That way they are not actually moving, and one would not have to deal with the physical motion of the person and where they are moving. This might be able to be accomplished via air (like an air hockey table perhaps?) or some other contact-less force.
Let's face it, the United States may have groups such as the IEEE and ANSI, but when it comes to bandwith allocation, etc., Europe has us beaten. If we look at the fact that one can buy a GSM cellular phone in Europe and use it anywhere else in the world except the US, we notice that the United States has half a dozen different wireless protocols.
I think the real reason that the FCC may not want to switch protocols may be more political than technical. Let's face it, the United States is really into trying to protect its companies -- if the US were to change over to the European HDTV standards, it might give European companies an advantage over US companies. If we were to keep our current HDTV protocol, that would force European companies to create two versions of their TVs, sinking 2x as much initial investment compared to American companies. It's kind of like having a technological protective tariff. Just my $0.02, anyway.
I wonder if this will include support for Creative Lab's newly released cards, which have MP3 acceleration (whoo, my old Pentium needs a break). They've also got something called the "Live! Drive" that fits in a 5 1/4" drive bay with all the plugs on the front. Mega-cool.
Does anyone know if there is any support for external MIDI devices on linux right now? (keyboard, etc. for MIDI input).
I'm somewhat afraid that my house will burn someday, with all the computers and peripherals plugged in. I did a little research and found out that the best way to reduce this risk is to make sure your computer, power strips, etc. are resting on some sort of non-combustible material (my stuff sits on a sheet of steel). A rackmount type rack would be most ideal, however those are a bit expensive (though they may be a good investment anyway). I also twist tie the wires and cables coming out of the back of my computer together and have them travel in bundles to a location. This way I hope to minimize any chance of dust collecting. Dust improves the change of a power arc from one line to another, which can start a fire. Anyone else have any suggestions?

Just like in the Constitution.

Is it just me, or is it kind of strange that Transmeta isn't on the PC EXPO 2000 list of exhibitors?

I'm on Solaris 2.8 with Netscape 4.7, and it works fine...

The last computer I saw without a fan had vacuum tubes in it, heh.
