Is that true? I have absolutely no idea how AOL's network works, but I wouldn't be surprised if by the aol IP they could narrow it down to a city.
AOL has dialup numbers just about everywhere, I always assumed that everywhere there was a little AOL building with the modems and a big fibre to Virginia. I assume for routing purposes an IP is assigned from within the little AOL building. If they figured out AOL's routing then, they could get decent resolution.
Of course, I'm talking out of my ass, and this is all speculation, but if someone knows for sure, I'd be interested in hearing it.
This doesn't read like something anyone would write to an entire company. This reads like well thought out flamebate.
"Bill" isn't taking a buisness look at things, he is sort of mentioning buisness related things on the side, but spends most of the time calling people idiots and advising people to check out mozzila.org and laugh. If he really thought all this, would he bother spamming the whole company?

Have you tried modifying their makefile? I just ran into the same problem and my first thought was to just *try* it for 2.2.17 by adding it in.
Yeah, look at the lynx. It was far cooler than the gamegear, and suffered just because it was Atari, and they wern't one of the big 2 console companies at the time.
Here at cmu there are people offering them on our little buy/sell newsgroup. but $1000?! I wonder how high his $350 initial offering will get if I post this/a& gt; link.

I think there are already plenty, but I can see as a guy in bioresearch why he would want to give money to that....
What _REALLY_ needs attention is women in physics, ugh, I'm dying here.
ummmm... Not everything was "unfit" lots of these species would still be around if man hadn't hunted them. It is completly irresponsible for humans to hunt an animal to extinction. If this indeed brings them back, then I don't see anything wrong with it.
Seems to me that people running insecure boxen now have a lot more to worry about... It was bad enough having to dealing with fixing you computers, now you may very well have to deal with getting out of the army.
First of all, I agree with the pervious posts saying that this is disturbing from a political standpoint.
But also, How fricken annoying! I have a problem, I reach over onto my self, grab the relavent book (if I have it) and quickly find the page, then sit it in front of me as I work on the problem.
Is the index in the print, or on the CD? Could you imagine having to stick the damn CD in, go to the back, look up a page, just to see its in the printed half? Damn, thats stupid.
Just having to read it off the computer you're working on is a pain in the ass, print is just faster unless you always have the pdf in memory, but having to putz around with that AND a book is asinine.
"I recently began using a new product from Microsoft called MSN Explorer. With MSN Explorer, you can send and receive e-mail, exchange instant messages with me and the millions of other people who use MSN Explorer, browse the Web and much more. MSN Explorer even offers an exciting new look for using the Web and makes it easy to find and play music online. Want to try it out? It's FREE! Just click on the link below and follow the download instructions.
This reads like spam to me. I wonder how many people are actually fooled to thinking that this was really a letter from a friend raving about this new product.
What gets me is that this seems so low for microsft to stoop. I mean, underhanded buisness maneuvers are at least somthing that requires brains... spam is something that dumbasses trying to make a buck off the web resort too.
My biggest complaint about the nintendo64 was the multiplayer capabilities. The split screen sucks unless you have a huge tv.
What I think would kick serious ass was the network capability between cubes (maybe thats what the serial/parallel ports are for?). First of all, you don't have to render 4x as many characters on one box, and secondly you can't just glance across the screen to see where your opponent is.
Now, the split screen is a feature they should keep, and I think its obvious the did given that there are 4 controllers/cube, but does anyone know if there is such a game console with this network multiplayer capability?
I actually spent the summer working with QNX (for robotic systems) and it is pretty cool. It is drastically different from any other *nix I've played with (granted thats fairly limited) but if you read the docs its managable.
One thing I've been wondering though is will livid work with it? If so, perhaps it will make the dvd's actually watchable in a unix environment. On my PIII 650 laptop the dvd playback keeps getting prempted by the kernel, and skips. Annoying.
You obviously don't watch robocup. Sure the walkers, and abio's are slow and dull due to mechanical limitations, but (and I forget with "class" these are) the little cube guys are quick and very cool to watch.
And, while I'm posting, I highly doubt that battle bots have ANY operating system at all. I'm sure they're all hardware.
In my lab (MIT AI) there is a division working on computing with Ecoli. I had it explained to me, something about writing programs with climatids (sp?) and then the Ecoli will suck them up, and process the DNA in the climatid and execute a program. They have been able to do this, the problem is each ecoli takes about 30minutes to change state.... But neat research nonetheless.
One of the cool things about the CMU deal with NeXT was that we had a lot, and therefore there are a lot floating around. I managed to get a slab with a 400mb harddrive and 32mb of ram for free.
That thing sat in the lounge of my hall for people to browse webpages and check mail, it had an uptime of 180 or so days when I had to leave for the summer.
It seems to me that they (jobs) is just really pissed off about his surprises being ruined, and he wants to make a big deal out of it maybe to discourage people from doing this in the future.
I don't know, but I'm guessing these sights are run by people that really like apple, and we all know those types of people. Maybe this is just to get the message across that you're pissing off the company of which you are such a big fan.
But I do agree (IANAL) that they don't seem to have any basis for these lawsuits, which is why I think its all talk to "inform" the public that they don't want this.
I don't think Magneto knows/believes that it will cause millions of deaths. When storm told him that the senator had died, his response was a sort of I-know-somthing-you-don't "are you sure?" There very well could be something I don't know, since I've never read the comic book, but I wouldn't be surprised if the senator is still alive in some water form. Not that that sort of thing is good to do to 9 million new yorkers.
Not really, the world is still at a much higher resolution than we are currently viewing it at. It would have to get a _lot_ crisper before things start looking worse.
Now if you are just talking about it being gross to see lots of things so clearly, well, maybe.
It is going to happen eventually, radio will go digital. It opens up a whole bunch of cool technologies, I would love my radio to tell me the artist and song on the headunit when a radio song comes on. Also, this solves lots of typical broadcast problems like interference. You radio can jump to the nearest antenna, like a cell phone, and stations can have way bigger range, with uniform near perfect reception thoughout their area.
I am assuming this will happen, when it does, it seems that copying a song off the radio will be a perfect copy, assuming the stations don't fsckup the songs before hand.
Anyone have any thoughts/commments on this? I've always thought it would be cool, it would definatly change a lot in the music industry.
We've all seen the movies where some AI computer run amok, Tron, Terminator, etc...
My question(clear from the subject) is: How do you know when you've achieved AI? Will it be when a system starts learning just because it _wants_ to? Does it need to be able to communicate with us above some predetermined level? Does it need to go completly crazy trying to fight for its survival? Does it even need to exhibit intelligence as humans know it?
