What a HORRIBLE description this is to compare with BT!!
From this page you can see a
graphic representation of the Application Layer and Local Layer this program works in (I2). From the description below we can see that this is more like every ISP making local copies of large files available!
The LoRS tools give you read/write access to the unused storage space on the L-Bone. The L-Bone is a collection of IBP depots spread across the globe. The distribution of Linux using this infrastructure is to us an experiment, and to you, the chance to get your ISO in about 5-10 minutes. Our intention is to upload multiple copies of the ISOs into the L-Bone using the lors_upload tool. These copies will be geographically dispersed and broken in to smaller pieces. Once the copies are uploaded, the tool generates the exNode pseudo-file. These exNodes will be available from this page for download with names like [distribution_name].iso.xnd. ...
After installing these tools, you can upload your own files to the L-Bone and then send the exNode to others who would be interested in having a copy of the file. During the upload process you can determine how long your uploads reside in the L-Bone and even which depots to use based on locality/proximity (like ZIP codes). The depots themselves also determine how long an allocation is allowed to exist. After the allocation time (user or depot determined) expires, the data is erased from the L-Bone.
Also, a Director for this stuff hints at it being a fee-based in the future. (More documentation here)
"Well . . . It's new! It's cool! It solves a big need! It's free (for now)! And it has a good instruction manual. Woo-hoo! I'll take Joe's opinion that you don't even have to be "a minor league geek" to play around with this new stuff with the proverbial grain of salt, but I'll bet quite a few of you will be "LoRSing around" with it soon."

Re-read the article and look for the email (with intact header) that does appear to come from citibank and say silly things from Cleatus and also has a respond to @aol.com. So either this group is faking it to make Citibank look bad, or Citibank's auto-reply was sending out this bogus email. Explain to me how that is not sensational?
It's too bad this won't be seen by morning (and it is a weekend) but this is a major new item.
Ok, maybe this is a stretch, but look at the dates from the parent article and the dates of the press-release warnings from Citibank and other news items on Google News Search for "citibank" and draw you own conclusions. A little too prophetic for my tastes and almost like making a demand for new services (the spoofing thing that is -- also note none of the account info has been used for ill -- maybe it's just running around internally).
Citibank customers who suspect they've become victims of identity theft can now turn to the company for help in restoring their credit.
"Citibank is providing personalized assistance for victims who really do not know where to turn," says Ronni Burns, director of business practices at Citi Cards. The bank assigns to each victim an identity-theft specialist, who guides the card member through the process of recovering and restoring their credit.
To avoid becoming a victim of identity theft in the first place, follow these guidelines:
--Protect items like social-security cards and bank-account numbers.
--Use caution when giving out personal information over the phone or Internet.

As a CitiBank customer (bcksp.. erm former customer as of 5 mins ago) I was concerned with this article.
I looked at the Citibank page for reporting fraudulent email (a stroke of genius to call it "/domain/spoof/report_abuse.htm".. boy does that make me think "official" and NOT "spoofed") and (a) it doesn't work in Mozilla (b) I'm not sure the form to report this stuff actually goes to anywhere that doesn't end in aol.com
Maybe people already take this into consideration, but won't this impact webhosting? Won't people try to get their webpage/company closer to the main trunk / center of map? When you look for a hosting service (basically an IP address) right now most people don't consider where in the map the host is.
I mean with this tool, I would look up where my new IP would land me and try to find a host closer to the main backbones. Is this already done now by most people?
(on another subject the maps remind me of the species origin stuff)
There are a great number of genetic markers which are overwhelmingly present in certain populations. This obviously doesn't apply to every individual, but say when 80% of what we call a race has a specific genetic condition, that is probably good enough for the next Hitler.
There are clearly different races (genetically) and until very recently humans were not as mobile as they currently are. Breeding was once a tribal concept and we live in a much different world than we were genetically created in. I hate to be the one to break this to you but people's appearance and the social concepts you speak of are based on their genetics. That's what makes some one 'black' and someone else 'white'.. it's the genes that dictate what social concept is applied. (or more exactly, our obserations about genetics that we have put names to)
I saw a news report on goats the made to have genetic information of silk spinning spiders.. They are milking the goats to extract commericial production levels of silk!!!!
What happens when they engineer a virus and design it to only activate (attack) a specific genetic sequence (or genetic defect common in certain races).. tinfoil hat people are right, the Nazi's didn't disappear.. they are just working for the US military.
paid for refers to it being an ARPA funded paper. The Bill Gates building comment was only a little unnerving to me that the SU Computer Systems Dept. takes place in *His* building.. (who based his career on stealing ideas and reselling them)
Please.. don't say things about 'and you wonder why we don't like the french'.. The people of france don't like people from Quebec either. They are our equivalent of the Deliverance movie.
Anyways, on a real note, the law is FRENCH must be 2x larger writing than english on all signs (and I'm assuming video games cases)
no, not that I saw in those. But this pdfhtml
does have the graph showing how the WW 500M CPUs are currently using the power output of 4 Hover Dams (9000 MW) and a nice exponential graph.
Not that you did read the article, but here's a great paper (pdf) on low-power processor design with lots of graphs and equations showing where the architecture can tradeoff power to keep your silicon chips from melting.
The paper is out of Stanford paid for by your tax dollars.. Hopefully you won't notice the part about the address at Stanford University being the William Gates Computer Science Bldg
I can't find it again, but I saw an interesting
discussion that took the number of processors and embedded processors and the exponential growth of these devices and also the MIPS scaling and the energy per MIPS and compared it to the amount of energy in the sun. It was very clear that at some point you will run out of energy to power all the CPUs in a surprisingly short amount of time.
I wish I could find it again. (please let me know if you know)
Title: SCO secretly hires Iraqi Information Minister... Body: By development methods, do they mean "use of the vi editor"? Lawyers have pulses? If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit!
I was doing some reading on this and at least the 3M version of the system uses some IR (specific freq?) and either 10,12,14Hz strobe pulse with a vehicle ID code in between. Now I'm sure most cities ONLY use this to make all red for oncoming EMS, but they do have case studies in Wash where buses, etc. had the devices to preferencially give them green lights.
System has two channels (different IR freq?)
each channel has 10 vehicle classes which each allow 1000 unique vehicle IDs. I like the comment about the guy sitting at an intersection waiting for ambulances to record their IDs.
MIRT, 3M Opticom(R), and Tomar Strobecom(R) traffic signal preemption are optically-based communications systems and the main brands of these systems.
Clearly this is illegal (or soon will be) and stupid waste of
the public's time and money to refit this lights to stop this
silly company. FAC of America located out of Minn. runs websites such as TheMIRT and Guns'N Stuff
The are allowing people to be resellers for $300/unit.
There is a flash "demo" of the MIRT in action here
You mention Phantom Menace, AttackOfTheClones, The Grinch and ask how they will be viewed?! Try the SAME crappy way any reasonable person thought of them when they came out. So I'm guessing the trend of sequels being minimal effort/maximal profit will continue as long as people pay $8 per viewing.
It occurs to me from this article on a bigger implication of our
loving fond memories of the arcade. A lot of research on Alzheimer's
suggest you let people 'live' in an earlier era in their memory.
That means for us when we get old they can just put us in front of
the table top asteroids and Ms. PacMan and enjoy the happiness on
our faces. (Assuming carpal-tunnel hasn't rendered us gimpy)
One reason we got so far ahead of the Russians with our war technology was the Russian's fear of disruption of their electronics. They didn't want their planes dropping out of the sky and most of their MiGs still used vacuum tube technology which is much more robust to radiation... where as we moved on to semiconductor designs sooner.
This is the same a most lawn trees where they take a healthy species of root-happy tree and in a nursery graft on the less robust-rooted but pretty tree that everyone wants in their yards.
Maybe it's a 1-2 punch type approach.
Step A - release virus to DDoS on blacklist maintainers...(DNS/blacklist/etc has to be re-routed until virus passes)
Step B - while blacklists are down, send out massive spam campaign or more virus-type spam

Umm, strictly a social concept eh?
There are a great number of genetic markers which are overwhelmingly present in certain populations. This obviously doesn't apply to every individual, but say when 80% of what we call a race has a specific genetic condition, that is probably good enough for the next Hitler.
There are clearly different races (genetically) and until very recently humans were not as mobile as they currently are.

Sure, the number one thing scientist will is make 'helpful' viruses.. Maybe YOU should review the US annual expenditures in the areas of research..
this is astute
What is wrong with people!!?!
I saw a news report on goats the made to have genetic information of silk spinning spiders.. They are milking the goats to extract commericial production levels of silk!!!!
What happens when they engineer a virus and design it to only activate (attack) a specific genetic sequence (or genetic defect common in certain races).. tinfoil hat people are right, the Nazi's didn't disappear.. they are just working for the US military.
