  1. Re:stupid ass names... on Intel Names Upcoming Chips · · Score: 1

    the speed ratings are measure of how quickly the chip cn do work, bigger cache allows work to be done faster, there is nothing wrong with the labeling system. it's a lot better than having to find out how various models from the same manufacturer stand up against each other at a given clock speed.

    they don't advertise the labels , at least not here in the states.

    however if you pay attention knowing labels that consistantly put out good music can help you find new music easier. If i am browsing CD's i will pay much more attention to anything with a Century Media or Spinefarm label on it.

    adjusting the tension will require just as much juice no matter how you do it, the benefit will be when you need either a surge of strength or speed, both things that current mechanical limbs suck at. electric servo operated arms will never be able to effectively bitch-slap someone.

  4. Re:Oh, but we know... on Computer Security, The Next 50 Years · · Score: 1

    if it was really done well coders down the line wouldn't have to worry about ignoring or using it. If your security depends on various pieces of software implementing a specific security model your security is already doomed.

    Security configuration should depend entirely on the OS and user configuration, with security settings for each applicaiton created by the user or a reasonably safe defaultchosen by the OS.

    that would work very well for systems that are mostly in use, however it would be wasteful to use electricity to pull the cables all the time

    perhapse a system where a computer would decide when to use positive force for motion and when to use negative force for motion.

    they cannot force you to work, however they can tell tell other employers that you failed to fulfill your contract and can sue you for breach of contract.

  15. Re:This would help on Will Sun Open Source Java? · · Score: 1

    I don't know much about kernel or OS programming, but if java were to be released in a GPL-compatable license, a linux kernel patch or fork to tightly integrate the kernel and the JVM could boost performance and security by having the kernel more aware of what is going on "inside" the JVM and thus being able to predict resource needs and such?

  16. Ladies and Gentlemen on RIAA Targets LAN Filesharing at Universities · · Score: 1

    this is the use for a wireless mesh.

    if each dorm area has a person or two who knows how to set up a file server with some indexing and request code so the users can log in to any server in range, or ask for a list available on out of range server, out of range file requests would be processed by passing the file to a moderate sized temporary location on the intermediate file servers until it was accessable by the original requestor.

    a file in temporary storage which is requested often would be moved to a semi-permenant storage that way a file should not have to move across campus more than once or twice to reach everyone who wants it.

    was it a WMV file? did you open it with Windows Media Player? if not the admins were full of shit and sniffed your traffic. either that or they allowed the MPAA to sniff everyone's traffic.

  18. Re:Pretty Common on RIAA Targets LAN Filesharing at Universities · · Score: 2, Interesting

    as an admin it would be quite easy to subvert such threats, and i have not ever met a network admin who likes being threatened. first make sure the ops of the DC hub know which IP range is the ITS building, then give the RIAA access within the ITS building.

    i know i blocked the computing center when i was at university from even being able to see anything on my ftp server. well that and the accounts i gave out to people were restricted to their dorm IP or IP block so it would be considerably more work for a low level employee to actually connect, as they would need to be given control of a router or the DHCP server to have a chance.

    web addresses are just that, addresses. the pages look nothing like the real page and do not trick users into thinking they are at bestbuy.com.

    This IS like opening a restaraunt next to McDonalds, and putting your enterance driveway on the plot edge so it is slightly confusing to drivers as they pull in which restaraunt they are going to untill they actually pull in. most leave and go to McDonalds but a few will stay for a while.

  25. Re:It's Too Hard!!! on Do Kids Still Program? · · Score: 1

    the problem is that those environments are serious development platforms and too much for most kids/young teens to wrap their heads around all the features of the launguage they may wish to use.

    nothing kills the joy of coding than having to go back and forth between a reference, a scrap file to test your idea and your project to figure out "how the %^%& do i do this"

    Honestly i would like to see a decent partial-function basic-like language built powerful enough for actual tools but simple enough for kids to learn to use by playing with and occasionally going to the manual.

    something similar to TI-86 Basic but with a sleek IDE.
