god-damnit, well that's our fine education system at work fellas. The ironic thing is that i'm reading slashdot and not doin' the english project that was due yesterday...
about coustomer service and T-Mobile. I have had T-Mobile for a bout a year now and also bought the Motorola V70 (the cool twisty one) well the phones a piece of shit, but thats cool, because every time i have a problem with it I can call T-mobile and tey will send me a new one. No questions asked. In fact i called yesterday to excange again and i was on the phone for a total of 3minutes and 25 seconds when i heard "I hope this one works out, its in the Mail" and thats including the stupid computer prompt in the beginning.
Sure WEP is unsecure but only really on paper. By the time somebody drives by picks up your signal and then collects enough packets to break the encryption, You will be curious why that car has been parked outside your house all afternoon. WEP is only an issue in the corporate setting, For home users its adaquate.
no no no i was not trying to claim that apples dual implemtation may be better in any way. i was just saying that they are the only ones who advertise dual procs. to the avarage consumer. a dual i586 system is in infinitly better in every way, its just that dual G5's are advertised.
How many people do you know with dual procs. anywho? the only one I know is a mac friend. What kind of heat sink are we going to need for dualies? Its gotta weigh in round 5lbs. And have the noise output of a harley

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Researchers in North Carolina State University?s Department of Computer Science have developed a new data transfer protocol for the Internet that makes today?s high-speed Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) connections seem lethargic.
The protocol is named BIC-TCP, which stands for Binary Increase Congestion Transmission Control Protocol. In a recent comparative study run by the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), BIC consistently topped the rankings in a set of experiments that determined its stability, scalability and fairness in comparison with other protocols. The study tested six other protocols developed by researchers from schools around the world, including the California Institute of Technology and the University College of London.
Dr. Injong Rhee, associate professor of computer science, said BIC can achieve speeds roughly 6,000 times that of DSL and 150,000 times that of current modems. While this might translate into music downloads in the blink of an eye, the true value of such a super-powered protocol is a real eye-opener.
Rhee and NC State colleagues Dr. Khaled Harfoush, assistant professor of computer science, and Lisong Xu, postdoctoral student, presented a paper on their findings in Hong Kong at Infocom 2004, the 23rd meeting of the Institution of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Communications Society, on Thursday, March 11.
Many national and international computing labs are now involved in large-scale scientific studies of nuclear and high-energy physics, astronomy, geology and meteorology. Typically, Rhee said, ?Data are collected at a remote location and need to be shipped to labs where scientists can perform analyses and create high-performance visualizations of the data.? Visualizations might include satellite images or climate models used in weather predictions. Receiving the data and sharing the results can lead to massive congestion of current networks, even on the newest wide-area high-speed networks such as ESNet (Energy Sciences Network), which was created by the U.S. Department of Energy specifically for these types of scientific collaborations.
The problem, Rhee said, is the inherent limitations of regular TCP. ?TCP was originally designed in the 1980s when Internet speeds were much slower and bandwidths much smaller,? he said. ?Now we are trying to apply it to networks that have several orders of magnitude more available bandwidth.? Essentially, we?re using an eyedropper to fill a water main. BIC, on the other hand, would open the floodgate.
Along with postdoctoral student Xu, Rhee has been working on developing BIC for the past year, although Rhee said he has been researching network congestion solutions for at least a decade. The key to BIC?s speed is that it uses a binary search approach - a fairly common way to search databases - that allows for rapid detection of maximum network capacities with minimal loss of information. ?What takes TCP two hours to determine, BIC can do in less than one second,? Rhee said. The greatest challenge for the new protocol, he added, was to fill the pipe fast without starving out other protocols. ?It?s a tough balance,? he said.
By allowing the rapid transfer of increasingly large packets of information over long distances, the new protocol could boost the efficacy of cutting-edge applications ranging from telemedicine and real-time environmental monitoring to business operations and multi-user gaming. At NC State, researchers could more readily visualize, monitor and control real-time simulations and experiments conducted at remote computing clusters. BIC might even help avoid a national disaster: The recent blackout that affected large areas of the eastern United States and Canada underscored the need to spread data-rich backup systems across hundreds of thousands of miles.
With network speeds doubling roughly annually, Rhee said the performances demonstrated by the new protocol could become commonly available in the next few years, setting a new standard for full utilization of the Internet.
On Prices. No they would not be reasonable, it would be the standard over-priced 99c per song. But there would be a minimum of a $6.95 purchase. which really sucks if theres that one song you want
SERVE another acronym brount to us by the people who concocted such obcenities as: US VISIT and US PATRIOT ACT. Who is this wonderful group you ask? why the Federal Acronym Reasearch Team (who mysteriously doesn't go by their acronym)
700 wil git you enough and them some. The elevator shaft might want to be avoided because of all the metal. perhaps 1 access point on each floor with a couple of higher gain omni directional anteannas will do it. although i hope you have a good 10mbit line or a T1 as this is gonna eat bandwidth. O and make sure you go 802.11g
wait isn't that sorta like MikeRoweSoft? how about a patch to help us read. and after that they could hand out Opera to everyone so this never happens again. ay yai yai
As they say "the show must go on" and with these passing years i hope that we can come to terms with the dangers of space. As we do perhaps we can extend our civilization into space and transcend our fears and inhibitions. What is holding us back? Why cant we approach space with the common goal for the advancement of knowledge and ultimately our species? Can we put money aside for once? must we captialize on everything?!

O god dammint, I have the fricken magazine, on my desk in front of me, damn dyslesxia.
For a similar story about Pixars The Impossibles, check out the june edition if Wired, they should also have it on thier site, www.Wired.com
Mitsubishi also makes my Tuna, 3 diamond tuna, own by Mitsubishi. good times

dumbass - to myself. wow shoudla RTFA. im gonna get offline to do a service to the community for a while
OR... You could post this number on a highly trafficked tech forum site. It would be the first ever case of a Slashdotted fax machine
