Exactly, some yahoo found pluto in the 40's and called it a planet, so even though we know now that it is just a KBO (Kuiper Belt Object) along with millions of others, we call it a planet simply out of tradition, not because it meets the criteria of being a planet (if it did, we would have to memorize millions of planets. . . yeesh!). This new "planet" has not been a planet it the public's eye, people dont have it burned into their heads as a planet, so why add it in? Is it truely another planet that is just way out there, or just another KBO.
Brings a whole new meaning to watering the grass. . . Seriously though, its nice to see some new heat dissipation technologies. . . but it still comes down to how much thermal energy the chip pumps out. . . this is merely equivalent to a more efficient fan/heatsink. Though it should keep the chips at a cooler temperature (compared to their standard air counterparts) your laptop is still gonna get way too hot to put on your lap.
no. the earth was created to find the QUESTION. we all know that the answer is 42. . . the supercomputer that preceded us and designed us found the answer. . . we are to find the QUESTION.
I cant even get my scanner to correctly identify a regular text document, it gets most of it, but it still misses a lot of letters. A computer program could do this, but you would need either a very large database of the letter pictures (most places use all different kinds of text pictures, and add in a degree of randomness). Or you would need a very developed algorithm to detect the letters (in which case you would be making oodles of money from the scanner industry. . . spam would be the least of your worries. In the end i think it is inevitable that software will eventually break this system, but as soon as it does, there will be another system in place. . . .
yeah, except its infinately easier to set off a tiny nuke with all the evidence pointing to whom ever you want. It would be sooo much easier to use this system to your advantage. . . Why bother setting up a DDOS networking when u can fool a big company into doing your work for u?
AH!, your totally right, i completely forgot about ARP poisoning. I remember that at the time i would have better results if i were to ping the modem right before it synced with the server. I thought it was just superstistion but i was actually on to something (I was like 15 at the time 3 years ago, had no clue what i was doing really, just trial and error and some logic)
How to make the world a better place with your 14.4K modem:
Setp one-Attack Microsoft spoofing your ip as SCO
Step two-Attack SCO spoofing your ip as Microsoft
Step three-watch and enjoy as both corporations' stupidity brings the other to their knees
Step four-upgrade to cable
I dunno, i hacked my cable modem just through the ethernet port, its a motorola surfboard something (4600? not too sure about the number, not at home). For those of you who are skeptical i will give u a brief overview of what i did. I first found out what the ip was for the TFTP server on comcast for their cfg file something like 10.32.14.1. I then used tftp client on my computer and downloaded their config files and MD5 encryption keys ( i think i had to set my computers ip to that of my cable modem to do it, another 10.32 ip) Then i just set my comp's ip to their tftp servers ip, and set up a tftp server (after modding the config files of course, i had the encryption key in hand, so this wasnt difficult). Rebooted my cable modem using the http interface, about 50% of the time it would correctly load from my tftp, the other 50% from their tftp. Had 1500kb/sec down, 700kb/sec up. . . after about 2 months comcast caught me and gave me slap on the wrist, no job offer though:(, they realzed there was a hog on their network, and checked their modem's config files. . . mine was a tad suspicous:) Everyone i have told this to yells at me for being a liar and that you really cant do it. ..I dont know why it went through the ethernet, but it did, perhaps the newer modems dont, but mine does. I feel like Einstein. . . the universe does too expand.
Getting to the topic, it would be possible for me to write a program to do that all automatically, but it would be extremely ornate, and probably not worth the trouble.
I think it is inevitable that the technology will be circumvented. Think about it, with every new technology that is brought to the public, there is a another technology released to break it. . . I worry that we will become too dependant on this technology and not bother looking at someone and observing their behavior. If someone passed through this "fool-proof" technology, the concequences could be disasterous, the Titanic comes to mind.
I read a yahoo article where Kazaa was countersuing for the RIAA misusing their network, and invading the privacy of their useres. The RIAA tried to get it tossed out of court, but failed. It would be extrmely funny if the RIAA ended up loosing money with this witch hunt.
They put the rovers through a lot of testing on simulated surfaces. How do u think they debugged the AI? Plus these guys arent the first rovers to mars, the sojourner mission pioneered the technology, these just perfected it.
Hmm, "Pictures not available due to heavy traffic". Does that count as being slashdotted, since it isn't fully healthly, nor is it dead, more like on crutches. I think those cases are awesome, but the fact is, its easier to have a lotta room to work with, especially with upgrading.
The only alternative to rocketry or elevator would be a laser powered launch vehicle. Where a laser is shined on a probe that focuses it to a point or ring, generating heat and thrust. Conventional rocketry is very ineficient because of one, single, large reason.
You have to carry your fuel.
How many pounds of fuel does the space shuttle require to lift off? most of the energy from the thrust is going towards accelerating the fuel. . . big waste of energy.
near the center of europa the water could be extremely hot. Do you know how hot the core of the earth is? Mars? The moon? Life doesn't even require that much heat to survive, there are plenty of bacteria on earth that live in ice in the antartic at -30C. If europa has a solid core (chances are it does) then it will probably have volcanic vents, where the are plenty of chemicals and heat for life.
Yes they do. I am a licensed amateur radio operator (with moorse code, a nifty skill to have, though now kinda useless lol). It is called packet radio. I myself haven't gotten into it, but it is a different protocol which you can tunnel others through (tcp/ip). Some are internet repeaters, basically hooking up their cable modem to their ham radio. Problem is, that only one person can transmit at a time, collisions aren't too common though.

anyway, its definately possible, thats all i kno.
