Westchester County, NY (roughly 1 hour away from downtown Manhattan) has some of the crappiest coverage from T-Mobile. Dead spots on the larger highways through my area and a somewhat unresponsive network.
(Yahoo, where everything was once free, now has their hands in about 10 different cash generators) You mean how they first made you get their stupid newsletter to get POP3 access to Yahoo Mail accounts and then took it away from free users entirely? And/. probably gets most of its supporting revenue from subscribed users.
IPv6 address are four-digit hex octets separated by colons.
e.g.
3ffe:3700:402:0:210:a4ff:fe12:fec4
however, multiple 0 octets in a row can be abbreviated to a double colon once in an address.
So 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001 (the new loopback) becomes 0::1, or just::1.
That's assuming they download every single piece of software from the project sites and order no distributions of Linux, etc. from large companies like Red Hat or Mandrake.
You mean crash-rates caused by other applications in an OS that probably still doesn't have memory management implemented effectively? Or simply buggy code in XP itself.
I like my science research course better. Three
years of work, I get to pick the subject, and I get a paper published in professional journals by the end of high school.
Definitely quite amusing.
"Unless Apple decides to make radical changes to their service model, a Windows-based version of iTunes will still remain a closed system, where iPod owners cannot access content from other services," said Fester."
Sound a bit familiar, Mr. M$-executive? Maybe like your own business strategies involving closed formats?
in case you didn't bother to read the links, I'll quote it for you.
"The researchers' transceiver transmits data by oscillating the electric field surrounding the device. When the electric field that naturally emanates from a person intersects the electric field of the nearest tile transceiver, oscillations in one field are transmitted to the other."
Naturally emitted electric fields. Doesn't sound like that's gonna cause cancer to me.
..but how much does this cost? If you have to put special flooring down and cover the entire area of a room, the cost of the system and the floor material is going to be high. The first use will probably appear in convention centers/meeting rooms so everyone can link their laptops and palm pilots at 10Mb/s.
Exactly. Much easier to get a throwaway shell accoutn somewhere to make your accesses less traceable than it is to bribe people to get to the physical equipment. Social engineering is less of a problem because it's harder to carry out without getting caught.
Amen to what Schneier says about 'cyberterrorism' hype. I think that instead of trying to prevent these vaguely defined events, people should focus on the other problems with the Net - e.g. script kiddies who get a couple hundred annoying bots set up with IRC trojans. Just a bit of education or some public service announcements to get people to stop downloading e-mail attachments from people they don't know, etc., would probably reduce the number of vulnerable machines available for hackers to compromise. In short, fighting common cybercrime seems more worthwhile to me than preventing 'cyberterrorism.'
Oh dear, I can't decide!!
They're all evil in their own special way.
But now after reading the rest of that article I think VeriSign must die. They want the ICANN to become more focused on promoting "growth" and they want more people who "know how to promote products" in there rather than techies and lawyers.
RECOUNT? Actually, a recount isn't possible. They'd have to have another vote.
If the error margin was really as high as they say it was, it calls the results of the election into question. Maybe this is a case where jumping to new technology right away is a bad thing.

The metadata necessary would waste space and other resources on my system to implement something I'd never use because a) I understand the *nix hierarchical fs structure and b) if I don't remember where something is, I'll use ls with grep, or just locate.
Even more of a reason for me to stick with Linux. MS is just adding features that not everybody wants. By serving the interests of the nearly computer-illiterate users, they bloat their system and make people who know what the hell they're doing like their OS even less.
Yes, x86 is winning for traditional personal computers, but RISC is being used for a lot of smaller devices. Can you say Palm?
Also, last time I checked, IBM was still selling RS/6000 series machines with RISC-based CPUs.

No, but it's still their current generation of technology. ...19,20.
Or have Google block all accesses from IPs that resolve to whatever.fr. :D
I buy a GCN for $200, two weeks later they lower the price to $150, then $100, and now they give you half a dozen Zelda games to boot.

Yeah, I'd much rather be without Windows than without my SB4200 and router firmwares.
Why hasn't anyone bothered to make a car that's at least part solar for everyday use?

don't forget that Apple has always been about proprietary hardware. Remember what a disaster all those Mac clones were?

yeah, you can shake hands IRL and do a TCP handshake at the same time!
stop responding to off-topic trolls.

Whatever happened to all that talk of electronic paper?

Woohoo, someone who thinks the same way I do about light modded cases. Waste of money. I want a computer that computes, not one that looks pretty.
