That's it! I'm fed up with the popular media misunderstanding linux and the free software movement. It is quite obvious if you've had the time to do any research that penguins swim and don't fly.
Infiltrate? Who's words are those? The posting makes it sound as if the RIAA is covertly sneaking this software onto campus networks. The colleges do have a choice whether to use ACNS or not. Although I am sure that the RIAA will be putting a lot of pressure on those who choose not to.
Imagine the possibilities of having a 802.11g home network hooked into your brain! I just hope that your brain has a good firewall and is patched with all the latest updates.
Leaving aside the Sir Edmund Hillary rationale for hacking anything ("Because it was there")
That was actually George Mallory who died whilst climbing Everest on June 6, 1924.
The register is running an interesting article on the difficulty people have had so far reporting their spam. It appears that the paperwork and procedures for complaints are not yet available. How useful.
Communicates by bluetooth does it? Who's going to be the first to create an automatic fly swatter to take this thing out when it flys near? Of course I wouldn't build such a device because I personaly welcome our minature flying robot overlords. Sorry, got carried away there.

I don't want ANY spim! Seriously though, since when was this news? I remember receiving spam^H^Him years ago in ICQ.
Does this mean we'll start to see a reduction in the number of sites withe neon text on a black background, animated GIFs and "under construction" signs? It's a sad day for the 'net I tell you.
I'm always loosing CD's how am I going to sort through a collection of thumbnail sized pieces of plastic, I just know I'd loose everything! Did anyone else notice in the article that the "paper thin" devices can store 1GB in a cubic centimeter? I'm pretty sure something paper thing with a volume of 1cc is more than thumbnail sized. I assume that these 'thumbnails' aren't supposed to hold 1GB?
I personally welcome our segway based robot overlords.
Seriously though this is an intresting hack/use of segway technology. It'd be interesting to learn how it copes with some of the limitations of the technology. What happens when the batteries run out? That could be an expensive crash. How does it cope with moving over larger obstacles that a segway rider might just be able to cope with. I guess I really don't know enough about how Segway+Human works to think about possible solutions. Anyhow, well done MIT!
Before I read the article, I saw the title and assumed someone had designed a computer that gave me answers before I'd even decided what program to run.:-) Useful for those moments where I find myself sitting down at the computer, wondering what it was I was meant to be doing. Current solution to my problem: load up slashdot and wait a little while.
I currently use Bacula as my open source backup solution. Clients are available for Windows, Linux and Unix although I believe the server works best with Linux or Unix. It supports most hardware, including some tape robots (something that would be useful for 1TB of data!) and appears to be extremely flexible.
It's done everything I've asked of it and more without complaint. Best of all the support from the author via. the project mailing list is second to none.
The interface is through a console application although there's also a UI available (still a work in progress). There's also Amanda, you might want to look at that too.
Slashdot Mirror
No you're confused, Linux was spread by a Finn

1) MPAA .uk?
Woops!, think before posting, think before posting.
2) Do you fear riAA or mpAA in
No.

I was going to 'First Post!' in morse but the lameness filter won't let me. Dang now I'll just get modded to hell and back.
I never have problems finding SOCKS. apt-get install danted always works for me.

Already have one, sorry.
Imaging sitting in your lander, looking over the martian landscape. Imagine all that lovely latency as you SSH to check on your servers.
1. Get others to produce the content of your book
2. Publish
3. ???
4. Profit!

Thankyou, at last I know that putting the site in my .sig is generating some traffic. Which did you like?
Who wants reports favourable to penguins?

See this article at New Scientist. My maths could be wrong but the storage dentisty quoted here doesn't seem to match up.

Aaahhh it uses a kickstand if it fails. That'll teach me to RTFLWWWP!

Why on earth would you need a $70 video card for a storage server!
Didn't the author mention that he also wanted the system to be available as a workstation for gaming as well as being used for storage?
