I don't understand... If worms use their own TCP/IP stack how would they sniff anything? And about getting around firewalls, if firewall is in another machine it will handle those packets... Don't know if it can bypass a local firewall but maybe it can...
What if you have one large disk?! loss of single disk = bye bye data...
RAID-0 (or AID-0 since it hasn't has Redundancy;-) ) is simply for performance and for a virtual unique large drive. And the article comes to prove just that.
Usually desktop users don't have much critical information on their computers (Nothing than can't be saved in a each-time-more-inexpensive DVD) and don't mind every 3 (or more) years to install stuff again. They probably switch computer before one of the disks blow...
However, by joining a.torrent, the MPAA would be simultaneously distributing the file themselves, thereby given implicit permission to copy (in fact, they would be facilitating the copying). Moreover, I suspect the terms of use for most torrent site registrations require you to consent to the activities there.
You mean that DEA can't infiltrate with drug dealers, sell/buy some drugs to catch the dealers? It's the same MPAA can infiltrate, maybe help a little just for not being recognized and identify who is sharing...
Gnome vs KDE may became an issue, but since both are becoming more and more compatible with each other I see no major problem picking one instead of another.
Now the VI vs Emacs war is completly unexistant. No joe user will use an text editor that prior to start typing must press 'I'... vi is for nerds:-p Emacs for neards it is. It isn't a simple text editor, it does everything. So the default text editor will be the Gnome/KDE default text editor.
But there are people that keep sharing even after their dowload completes...
And you seem to be missing an important point. Even if you have a T1, if there are lots of people downloading through FTP you have to share the bandwith with all of them. With a p2p solution people stop using your bandwith sharing between them, meaning you can serve your files faster and with a greater total bandwith.
When you say In BitTorrent, your download speed is theoretically capped to your upload speed you are assuming that the FTP server can serve you faster than you can upload. And that's not the case when there are lots of people trying to access the files in question (never heard of pages being slashdoted?).
There's no problem with that, don't share your bandwith with anyone, noone shares bandwith with you. Then you can only download from one source with limited resources. Other people that share can download from many sources (eventually each one with much less resources) that provide a total bandwith much greater, and more, when there is more people downloading they also download faster, instead of you that don't wanna share and have to slower the download when more people that don't share start to download...
And besides, most people's connection limits are dowload limits not uploads:-P
Same as posting an mp3 on usenet
on
Usenet Audio
·
· Score: 0
Besides being a bad April 1st post, there's nothing great about it... It's simply posting an mp3 file.
Of course you can't listen to the audio in real time, but servers synchronize every days (I guess) so it would be possible to broadcast with a latency of one day. Impressive:-P
what about license nazi's that don't like qt's license?
If they don't like GPL they don't use Linux:-P
Just because something is available in a dual license form it doesn't turn it in non-GPL...
That being said, I don't think it will last, but I sure hope I'm wrong as what linux really need it's a unified window manager.
You can't get five people to agree on where to go for lunch; what makes you think it's easy for them to agree on technical issues, particularly when their companies have developed technology, products, patents, or markets at stake?
If you wait for some hours they'll agree to eat anywhere:-P While it's not easy to companies to agree in the technical issues, if they agree it will be better for everyone as there are lots of ppl that aren't buying simply because are afraid to make a bad choice...
Windows is de facto "standard" for PC software. Why don't you just run that instead of Linux? How come those Linux guys don't get together and just define one standard distro instead of having a zillion of them?
The subject is hardware not software:-P Both Windows and Linux run on standard hardware that uses standard buses (PCI, AGP) to communicate.
But even software uses standards, for instance, most Unixes comply to POSIX....
So how is this different than the current situation where Microsoft calls their version of Java C#?
I sure hope you intended to make a joke...
If not... Well, it's completly different. For once, you cannot compile a program in C# and run in JVM, or compile in java and run in.NET VM.
The possible problem with java being open source is that several quasi-compatible java appears but the incompatibilities would destroy java. MS for sure, could make a java version with several enhancements that would run only in windows... And since most people use windows Sun could loose control of Java. I stated in my previous post that Java is a trademark of Sun, so Sun can make an Apache-like version where it states derivative works can't be called Java. That way, people could contribute, but Sun had full control over Java.
Ah! But this is the part than an Apache like version takes place. Java is a trademark of Sun, so they can say that Java is open-source, but any derivative products can't be called Java. That way, any one could contribute to it, but with Sun control over Java. MS version of Java couldn't be called Java unless it was approved by Sun.
And it's not only a intellectual exercice. Intel also had released Pentium Pro with no success but Pentium II III IV are based on it. I'm sure there's lot of stuff that can be reused...
older virii would infect your ROM
IMPOSSIBLE!!!!! ROM is Read Only Memory... Write once, Read any...
Now if you said, older virus would infect your EP-ROM (Erasable and Programmable - ROM) it would be correct:-P
If it is to the Internet, then you're out of luck. 99% of anywhere you go couldn't come close to filling it.
Consider this as a link to a office building, with hundreds of people connected, sharing this connection on the net... Or better, it's a home skyskrapper building with hundreds of people using p2p and watching video-on-demand and... imagination is the limit. Give me that bandwith and I'll show you:-D
There was a guy (now known as the richest man on the planet) that said 640K was enough for all aplications. Imagine what he would say back then about now regular 512Kb ADSL connections (when the modems had 300bauds or so...)
Ever heard of digital signatures, assymetric criptography, RSA?!!! There is a public key and a private key. If you sign with the private key, everyone can check with the public key, but no one can sign for you (must have private key).
The private key would be in the camera saved in hardware rom so that you can't access it without destroying (or at least damaging) the camera.
Who said the final version doesn't do it? The "download" edition don't do it simply because the boxed version does... Try it for free, but if you wanna do something usefull please pay for the work;-)
No, by my logic I shouldn't use anything I don't agree made by religious people. I didn't say I disagree with all that religion preach. I for all embrance the "You shall not kill" and many other stuff:-P I don't need to believe in god for that...
Just to refrase my first sentence:
By my logic I shouldn't use anything I don't agree made by people. Religion as nothing to do with it
PS - Sorry for taking so long to answer
I thank God that my survival is *not* in your hands. It's in God's.
Find out who this guy is and don't you ever let him see a doctor:-P
Same applies to those who don't agree with the research. Save them in a database and if they ever need the results of the rechearch to survive... Tell them to pray:-P
There are many people that make an extra force to buy a computer at Christmas time. To give it as a gift, because they just spend money on xmas, whatever... Since WinXP64 is about to be released it's better to spend a little more on a 64 bits computer than a 32 since they'll be outdated faster.
