The cars aren't turning. Are the cars getting highway-style ramps merging parallel into and out of a road, is there an overpass system, or what?
I'm watching the cars (which are represented by orange rectangles); where is their theory being shown? Some of these cars, when moving through the intersection, are just 1-2 pixels away from a perpendicularly moving car. In the real world, that might just be a 1-2 feet. It says in the description:
The granularity of the reservation system for this simulation is 4 (i.e. the system consists of a 4 x 4 grid of reservation tiles).
Well, I'm not seeing any tiles being allocated or how the applet does it's stuff. It would be nicer if the applet actually showed how the tiles are being allocated and to which car. Source code would be nice as well.
Is it really so hard to get a truck filled with water bottles or something to troops? Or even airlift water bottles in? What about morale? Of course one's morale is going to fall (understandably) when you're drinking your own urine!
Yes, but there's not many free ones, nor cheap ones. DynDNS, for example, only offers TXT records (required for SPF) only if you pay for Custom DNS, which costs $25 yearly. I don't have too much money to spare.
But they were registered using GoDaddy, with Hostway nameservers. For this to really get off the ground, the regular hosting companies have to support it as well. The only registrar that offers spf is (that I'm aware of) PairNIC .
At least this should bring in the FBI. Death threats crossing state lines has to qualify as an FBI/Justice Department investigation. Perhaps even the State Department if the email was really sent from a Nigerian server.
I've been running a catch all domain email for about 3-4 years now. Yes, it is a definite plus to give out personalized emails (ebay@, slashdot@, etc) so you know who sold your email address.

We have a little addendum to our Tech from the Tour de France feature from a couple of weeks ago: this special pair of Oakley sunglasses with a built-in MP3 player that Lance Armstrong was spotted wearing. No idea whether they're planning to ever sell these or not, but a little bit of research reveals that the sunglasses only have enough room on them for 35 songs, which makes us think that they probably have somewhere around 128MB of storage somwhere in there.
True, but that doesn't mean Lance plays only 35 songs for the entire Tour. Does anyone know if the Tour rules prohibit changing electronic media and so forth? He could play a new set of 35 songs every day. At least that would be interesting trivia, what songs did Armstrong listen to every day of the Tour..

The Security Administrator Tool for Analyzing Networks (SATAN) is a UNIX- based testing and reporting tool that collects a variety of information about networked hosts. SATAN will attempt to access many UDP and TCP ports across the network in a very short space of time.

Homemade CD Shooter?
·
· Score: 4, Informative
I have one of those foam disk shooting things, and from what I can tell, all it consists of is two rapidly rotating, short cylinders. When the trigger is pulled, a simple spring mechanism pushes the foam disk forward slightly, bringing the disk into contact with the rotating cylinders (which are positioned on either side of the launching route). The disk hits both rotating cylinders, and then gets accelerated quickly out of the launcher.
You should be able to build this mechanism with little difficulty; the only problem might be that the CD's may be too fragile to be quickly accelerated in such a matter.
This topic was just on the James (Apache mail server) mailing list. I'm just copying this from the email I sent From the article:
Top priority is "pornographic material... that may come to the attention of children," said Horton, who is chairing the meeting.
Define pornographic material. There are a lot of countries who would like to ban pornographic material altogether, while the US Supreme Court struck down the Communications Decency Act because it limits the rights of adults to access said material. (http://www.epic.org/free_speech/CDA/)

I like to read lots of other magazines too, just off the top of my head (some of these I have subscriptions to, some I read at the local library)

I'm a bit of a political junkie, so I like reading Time, and Newsweek. I also read assorted gaming magazines, and miscelllaneous stuff. I also have a subscription to the Financial Times (it's so interesting to read a European perspective on things).
Make sure you thank your dad for me. I love the Star Tours ride... and to think the ride control runs on a 486! I haven't been to Disney World in quite a few years, but I always remember the Star Tours ride.
...I just wish it was faster. I love Java to death, run my alumni site using JSP (Shameless plug: Downers Grove South) (please go easy on it, still in development, and yes, I'm design challenged), and program all sorts of baubles using it.
A fast Java 3D would be terrific. Sun, here's a quick hint: Get the basics down, 3d cubes, spheres, etc, optimize them to hell and back, make them blindingly efficient and fast, and then do the icing on the cake. I don't care if it just takes one function call to create a 3D representation of a Halo Marine machine gun, I can't use that if it's slow as heck.
3. The copy protection system used for all EMI/Capitol releases including "To the 5 Boroughs" is Macrovision's CDS-200, which sets up an audio player into the users RAM (not hard drive) to playback the RED book audio on the disk. It does absolutely NOT install any kind of spyware, shareware, silverware, or ladies wear onto the users system.

What's the alumni address? We can check the records for it.
I believe that there are some people working on the forwarding issue, but the last time I checked it (2-3 months ago), they were having some problems.
