In fact, the CW requirement has been eliminated from the Technician licsense for a number of years (FCC). The General licsense allows opperation on certain CW only bands that the Technician licsense does not. It makes sense to keep a code requirement if people are going to be allowed to operate on CW only frequencies.
You can access the windows update catalog here: http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/catalog/en/d efault.asp
There you can get secruity updates for all versions of windows. You actually download them to your computer rather then installing them. You could download them on another computer burn them to a CD, then install before connecting to the internet. The only problem is you need a computer with IE. Maybe get a friend to burn it for you?
I stand corrected, a laser need not be used, but the light still must be coherent. From wikipaedia:
The waves interfering must be coherent, i.e., the light has the same frequency and is in the same phase. In Young's experiment, this was achieved by passing the light through the first slit, and thereby diffracting it, producing a coherent wave; this is more typically achieved now by using a laser, and removing the first slit.
Why this is suspicious:
It seems a little strange that only _one_ source is cited throughout the article, david deutsch.
False information by third paragraph:
First, a red laser pointer is needed. I found one at Radio Shack for $19, not including the triple A batteries that were needed. The red color of the laser pointer is important. The red light, unlike the white light of a flashlight, which is a composite of many colors, doesn't fray as white light does. The red light, specifically, of the laser pointer casts more specific shadows - which is what this experiment does. A flashlight, according to Deutsch, can probably be substituted. A filter, however, is going to have to be placed over the white beam. The filter, can only be red colored glass; paper or any other filter won't work.
Yes, a laser is needed, but not because it is red, in fact any color laser should work, red is just the cheapest. The reason for a laser is that it provides coherent light, that is all the light that is emited is in phase. This is necsessary for the interference.
Sachdev tries to explain the interference soley in terms of particles, when in fact the light is behaving as a wave. He is entirely neglecting the wave-particle dualty, and resorts to parrallel universes to explain it in terms of particles.
Why dosen't slashdot mirror these pages. I know it has been suggested before, but here is a novel? approach:
Slashdot could cache the page before release, then after a story is released it could ping the server every minute or so to see if it has gone down. If it has, then the cached page could be brought up and people would still have access, if the server comes back up the cache would be removed. The caches would also be purged after a couple days or so, when the main wave has passed.
Slightly different though. Xine uses aalib and just renders the video as ascii, you still need to have the proper codec to play it. The star wars thing was actually re-'written' into ascii.
This seems like the subliminal messages that they used to stick into movies. I wouldn't be suprised if companies start trying to stick their advertising in them.
The problem is, or was at least with TurboTax, was that the activation method they used was a little sketchy. It employed proprietary software that caused lots of headaches and strange problems. There were also concerns of the software containing spyware.
ok. I still think it should be a good idea. Most of these people are posting comments that are not to well thought out because they can't even read the full text of the story. One solution would be for slashdot to cache the page internelly, then after a story is released it could ping the server every minute or so to see if it has gone down. If it has, then the cached page could be brought up and people would still have access, if the server comes back up the cache would be removed. The caches would also be purged after 2 days, when the main wave has passed.
Can't they just sue you because you helped transmit the files by being part of the network? Plus they are only prosecuting people that use kazaa right now.

"Like many registries, we're continually exploring ideas on how to enhance the user experience,"
I agree with this because even ports that viruses use can have some legitimate uses. Maybe it should be the duty of the ISP to remind people to update their operating system, or maybe filter ports if they don't update their operating system until they go to windowsupdate and do.
Maybe it's only half a person because they are trying to keep the thing running 24 hours a day. so the person is half a sleep.
but really, the article dosn't say which is odd.

It certainly isn't using very many cpu cycles, the OS reports that my webbrowser is using less than 1% of the available cpu power

This has already been slashdotted! I think slashdot should mirror sites before it posts the story to prevent killing these poor servers.

I was thinking more along the lines of anyone not using windows is not a security risk and does not need to be dealt with.
