No, actually we can't. At least so far we don't even have leads on a material that can stand the centripital force[1] involved when you start spinning that fast. In short: it would fly apart before you got close to 15,000 rpm.
Sorry, above might get modded down but what I meant was that the testes move in and out to maintain tempature, if the scrotum gets hotter the balls will move away thus maintaining tempature.

Yes, I'm sure if he looks hard enough or is willing to do enough work he'll be able to get a job. He surely isn't as bad off as some of you guys above.
Coding in assembly can be pretty damn tedious though, and definately isn't as convienent as programming in C/C++. Probably one of the reasons he doesn't want to go back to that.
I don't blame him... but if he has to, he'll find another job with his background. Unless of course, like people said he's "overqualified"
I'm friends with Tag Loomis (guy who programmed shoutcast) over at Winamp. He's a really nice guy.
They had 3 programmers working on winamp, he never did work on winamp, only shoutcast.
They also had a visualization skin programmer too.
They were all fired, and he's the only one left, and sole programmer of Winamp now.
I've brought several bugs to his attention, but he just can't keep up doing it all alone..
He tells me that he expects nullsoft to be terminated soon because it's definately not making them any money. He says the only reason AOL bought them was so they could compete with Media player if they decided to push advertising for it. Kind of like netscape competing with IE.
I asked him what he'd do if he's fired... he said he's probably start delivering pizza again, cause he's looked and looked for a job to transfer to and can't find one.
He worked for Pheonix bios for several years, and if you have that bios your system is likly running code he's written.
I got one over here in Austrailia for 345 AU dollars.
345 AU dollars converts to 270$ US
I was disappointed in the performance for it to cost that much that I returned it to the store. I was going to get it for my aunt for Christmas (but couldnt resist to try it out) and for it to cost its weight in gold it definately wasn't worth it.
How much does it cost in American dollars? Surely cheaper? By much? Anyone know?
Someone in the community once told me that he figures the reason why they didnt port OO was because if someones stupid enough to pay for an OS they'd be stupid enough to buy their own word processor too (appleworks)

Well, the way microsoft got 99% marketshare in Outlook express is 1) Making it so all you have to do is click on a subject without reading email to be infected or execute a program 2) Using IE for HTML meaning a crafted script could execute code 3) Being slow and crashes a lot 4) With 'outlook professional' having an ugly menu interface that is suppose to be 'hip and cool'
Perhaps TB developers could take a hint and add those features to their client?;-)
I don't know.. EMAIL clients just aren't 'the thing'
I use GMAIL, and haven't really tried TB out at all really. Once my ISP fucked me by accidently deleting my account (and then, worse, somehow the account name becoming 'reserved' making the whois contact in my domains wrong... so I can't claim ownership (forgot the pass, but always figured if i needed in the config I could have a recovery email sent)) is when I went to gmail -- hopefully I won't get fucked there
"No you are wrong. If you alter the Location directive to point to a page other than the page requested, *most* clients will follow it."
Yeah, but this is to hoping the screensaver is a jury-rigged HTTP client that just does a GET request and downloads the content from the server (meaning it doesn't support the full http 1.1
Well, with so much of the internets illegal mp3's already encoded I don't think it will take off.
I mean, theres terabytes out there in mp3 format, and it'd be too much hassle for everyone who has encoded their personal collection to this new mp3 format.
It could take off, but unlikley. If it does, there will be a mix of the two formats, traditional mp3, and this new type.

Kiddie Porn?
Regular Porn?"
Yeah, but you have to find followers to download such a screensaver. Lots of more people are willing to download a screensaver to target spammers than a screensaver to attack porn sites.
One of the spam sites www.moretgage.info has changed it so it has a meta refresh tag to redirect traffic to lycos.
Interesting, but I don't think the screensaver actually renders and executes HTML code, it just does a GET, meaning the redirect would do nothing, right?
If it does execute code, (which would be a security hole vuln.) then I suggest they just do a get on www.moretgage.info/fakepage -- which isn't apparently blocked.

Didn't work for me, I'm using a completley unpatched XP Professional System with ie V6.0.2600.000
Any idea why I'm not affected?
Sorry, above might get modded down but what I meant was that the testes move in and out to maintain tempature, if the scrotum gets hotter the balls will move away thus maintaining tempature.
I was at school so had to finish quick.. heh
Actually, they move in and out to maintain a tempature so this article is bullshit.
Doesn't work for me... I'm using Firefox... false article? or does it affect another browser?

This is great news for linux
I have reverse DNS completley configured on my linux server, but when someones does a reverse lookup to my IP, nothing happens.
I'm using ADSL and its configured on a linux machine.
Don't know why... perhaps the ISP has it set up that way -sigh-

" Try this instead: Liquid water doesn't do to well at temperatures below freezing ...
So don't forget your camera phone in your car on a cold day. "
Very insightful, water actually expands when frozen. Ever put a plastic glass in the freezer with water in it?
You'll wake up the next morning with a ruined plastic glass, big old crack in it.
Usually water bends and twists when in a liquid, but the way the molecular structure is, when it freezes it actually expands.
It'd expand and break your lense on your camera. Now you don't need to take pictures of ugly people for a cracked lense!

I figure if it's small enough, it's not effected.

Wow, and I'm still using the GNU ``mail`` command. I didn't know they had an ncurses based mail client yet.

"They are not a computer scientist; they could care less how it works, simply that it does."
But it doesn't with spyware on it. They dont care how to remove spyware or how it works, simply that it doesn't work on their system.
GENTOO FOR THEM!

It's sad though, because people are getting attacked who are innocent.
One reply from a guy who is being attacked:
"One israeli company that was supposed to sell our paintings spamed the
internet,
and loaded pictures from our site to save on their traffic.
We have no direct connection to this spam.
Sorry.
"
If it does, you can assure I won't be using it. I won't be using longhorn neither.
Well, with so much of the internets illegal mp3's already encoded I don't think it will take off.

" I'm not too sympathetic to the plight of the spammers, but I think it sets a bad precedent, and will only result in an arms race.

That's what happens when the government neglects to do what they people want it to do.
