..MATRIX, UTOPIA, SCO, this thing. I am sick of hearing about Utah and their crazy stupid ideas on how to fuck up our internet. Can we vote them off the island?
I have 3 12" thinkpad screens I got off ebay (yeah i have an old thinkpad) but they only cost $5. Can anyone tell me where to find information about the displays and how to drive/control them? like is it just a video card I need? perhaps I could make my own 12" picture thingy.
How about Oracle asking for MySQL to remove their stats from the benchmark table
"Note that Oracle is not included because they asked to be removed. All Oracle benchmarks have to be passed by Oracle! We believe that makes Oracle benchmarks very biased because the above benchmarks are supposed to show what a standard installation can do for a single client."
but really, it is BAD to have law makers being conned into thinking information can be filtered. I would love to give them a lesson in steganography or 100's of other ways around jokes like this, but really, once laws are made, its gonna be a giant snowball of "patches" to the laws thereafter. The business world needs to catch up with the times, but more importantly, legislatures need unbiased technology advisers.
I am tired of long-haired record execs who think they are intelligent just because they have a customer base with a big appetite for their product when they are operating under an illegal monopoly. oh wait, naw, record companies dont fix prices, i forgot.
Speaking of monopoly, why isn't this issue brought up more often? Monopolies are ILLEGAL as is collusion, which appears the RIAA is, a giant collusion organization. Its really discusting that this is allowed. I hope this woman wins.

Yep, remote control is the first thing that comes to mind when viewing their prototypes.
NASA's moon/mars missions have been scrapped. Details vauge. In an unrelated story, DeBeers' announced they will be starting a space program with primary research into developing inter-space missiles.
websites too. A LOT of developers i've been around design pages for the mac and pc, and dont care about linux, it works somehow. But, I am increasingly peeved at web content that is windows only (IE and Windows Media Player) eg. launch.yahoo.com and many other streaming Windoze audio/video, IE jscript & other IE only web content. This fact should be made as public as we can so I can get rid of my windows partition once and for all.
wtf, infomation that is not publicly available bla bla...isn't the privacy problem, in part, determining what in fact is infomation that should be public? Or is the phonebook company up there publicly owned? What if any ol business decided to make your infomation public, then, according to the post, it is available for any other business to post.
or did they not talk much about space networking? I want to know what protocols they use, how data is buffered on the sats orbiting mars, etc. Where are the technical details?
Network Solutions also offers this, $5/yr/domain. it is describes as follows:
* E-mail Address - Your newly created e-mail address changes every 10 days to protect you from people who mine the WHOIS database and sell the information. E-mail received at this address will be filtered for spam and forwarded to your designated e-mail account.
* Postal Address - Your postal address displayed in your WHOIS listing is a PO Box address in care of Network Solutions to stop junk mail and unwanted persons from finding your home. Mail received via Certified Mail(R) or Express Mail(TM) will be forwarded to you. Find out more.
* Phone Number - Your phone number listing displayed in WHOIS will be answered by an answering service that instructs the caller how to contact you via the e-mail address and/or postal address listed in WHOIS.
How about an RFC that builds a protocol on top of mail, using mail headers? such that each person builds their own whitelist. If u wanna email someone, you have to request permission to be added to their list, akin to adding people to your buddy list. It really wouldnt be that hard. perhaps each mail server would have its own whitelists for each user on it. then the mail server asks the client (triggered by a request for addition) if its ok to add this sender? if not, its rejected and all ones after that from that sender. if not the mail server delivers. Mail clients would have to have some sort of way to manage this database, but if you dont have an RFC XXX compatible client, get one or stop complaining about spam.
Cha-Ching is right. Congress and the USPS have been talking about ways to get money from email for years now. This provides the perfect inroad. If MS and Yahoo set up some sort of system to charge (proving its possible), the govt wont be far behind.
Rather than getting rid of patents, as they are very healthy for innovation, perhaps it would do everyone good to have a public review of pending patents. We all know the US Patent Office is swamped, and therefore makes bad decisions.(and arguable uneducated ones)
Let the public voice concerns over patents going through the process. Let those of us who know about the prior art (in our case, software, et al) work with the Patent Office to point out issues regarding a pending patent. The direction we are currently headed is toward the death of little-person innovation, and its sad.
On-Demand world just doesnt work. Business really needs to re-group its advertizing (which is basically providing the public with free information) and focus on that fact, getting people free information (however biased) without pissing them off.
Sun was one of the first to Idemnify Linux users, I remember their periodical presentation fall of last year the CEO saying that. Why does everyone point at HP first? I think it was Sun's idea... no?

dont anyone mention BitTorrent and suprnova.org. for fellow slashdotters sure, but keep your mouth shut. Don't want this to go the way of napster.

if the US military/law consider this "chemical weapons" seeing as how encryption is a "munition".

its a matter of prioritizing aint it?
simply disable whitelisting for that account.

till the moon comes crashing into us, (or leaves our orbit)? Wont changing the mass of the moon throw things off?!
seconding that...who's idea was it to make virtually all cell phones "Beep" while turning them to the "silent" position.

Exodus of 80% of users of those sites, all going to mozilla.com. MS wants the market share of IE dont they? Seeems like a bad move in that regard.
