I wonder how much time will pass until SEO link farmers start using modified versions of this tool as Web Page Generators to feed the spiders and boost their rankings while search engine maintainers try to keep up with ever 'smarter' Web Page Authenticity Detectors.
This is called defensive publication. If you want to make sure that nobody patents a particular invention, get the invention published in a scientific journal.
Which would cost...there's that ugly word again...money.
Your search suggestion turns up an interesting article mentioning companies like IP.com, but I bet they don't do offer their services for smiles and sunshine either.
I think the real trouble is ensuring that a publication meets legal requirements to be considered 'prior art', most of which have to do with making sure that the source of the publication is authentic and that the date of publication is verifiable. Meeting either of those requirements probably cannot sidestep the need for notarizing the documents which, again sadly, costs money.
I was planning to offer the suggestion of hosting the project on a server sure to get spidered by one of the source code search engines out there, but since these usually don't meet the requirements above, this 'free' option is probably not enough.
The patent covers Real's groundbreaking technology innovations dating back to November 1994, four months before the introduction of RealAudio, which forever changed the Web by bringing streaming audio to the Internet for the first time.
Not to be rude, as you may fool some younger Slashdotters, but not me. Fact is, there were streaming audio solutions on the Internet well before 1994. How do I know? Well, I took part in the development of one of them, and helped with the porting effort of several others.
I'll keep the list of examples short and sweet, others may add as they please.
Just hooking your phone line up to a sound card isn't a very wise thing to do, unless you make sure that people using your gateway can't mess around using tone box 'techniqz', like place long distance calls, play pranks on 911, mess up your services using *#, etc.
Lemme see, 20,000 lines of code, 4 days, that's average 5,000 lines of code a day, say (roughly) 200 lines of code per hour, more than three a minute, all that with no sleep. Impressive! I guess that less boastful people would admit using a data table generator here and there, but who cares when all the pundits just plug the numbers into some stupid coding performance metric anyway.
I bet that a reasonably good approximation of Deep Note can be created in Csound with about a screenful of lines in score and orchestra files and maybe some (small) tables.
Out of curiousity, why have we not yet figured out how to wirelessly power devices?
Well, there's this great ball of fire boiling away in space that sends part of its goodness our way, the most obvious way to wireless energy transfer.
Trouble is, not many devices are taking advantage of it yet (apart from watches, calculators, environment monitors and the lot), partly because of power requirements being too high, partly because of lack of cheap and efficient solar panels.
Of course, if you live in a sunny place, you could buy a solar power battery charger for your phone.
(Quoted from "Zero-Copy Data Movement Mechanisms for UVM" (Postscript, severely Googlarbled HTML rendition)
4.2.2 Disposing of Transfered Data
Processes receiving data via page transfer need to release these pages when they are no longer needed in order to avoid accumulating too much memory. This can be done in three ways. First, a process may unmap transferred data using the standard munmap system call. A problem with this is that munmap will free both the transfered anons andthe amap containing them. This forces UVM to allocate a new amap the next time pages are transfered to to the same virtual space. A second way to dispose of transfered data is to use the new anflush system call. This system call removes anons from a specified virtual address range without freeing the amap allocated to it. This allows the amap to be reused for future transfers. The final way to dispose of transfered data is to push the anon pages down into the object mapping layer. This can be done either by donating the ownership of the anons' pages to an object (establishinga loanout relationship between the anon and the object), or by freeing the anons and inserting the pages into an object.

Isn't this what BSD folks are looking for to counter the threat of the Menacing Penguin? All your COWs are belong to UVM!
Seriously, I could find very little information on the elusive anflush() system call, and I've got no access to a NetBSD source tree to grep through. Does it even actually exist?

Just hope you'll never need to take a patient to the Emergency First Aid entrance at a busy hospital when all parking spaces but one are occupied, while an ambulance passes sirens wailing where you were driving just 30 seconds ago...(real example, and yes, the spaces are parallel to the road instead of at an angle arguably because of limited space, dumb design choice!)
I hope there are other security measures involved besides an SSN in signing up for and accessing services at such an ATM.
Otherwise it would make many forms of identity theft as easy as doing some dumpster diving and strolling over to the nearest Super ATM. Everyone knows that most SSNs are about as secure and private as a parking ticket under your windshield wiper.
Just post on Slashdot and extract the HTML for the posting. That and the Lameness Filter will get you back on track lickety---quick! Who needs images, frames, <BLINK> tags and all that when all you need are text, links and a few very basic decorations? Hail the CERN text-mode browser! Ho! Ho!
So real geese can squeal? I think you're stating the obvious here. Oh, you meant geeks! Well, what's the difference if all they do is discuss 'drop'ping water 'table's and rant about the latest phishing exploit?
Sure! (That is, if you trust Google to do the backtracking for you.) Just follow the backlinks. - Make a list of the link URL(s) you want to backtrack. - For each link in your list, strip the "http://" part, add "link:" (drop the quotes, obviously) and feed what you're left with to Google. - Make a list of the URL(s) that Google returns. - (Optionally, retrieve the linked-to pages and scan the HTML source for the link URL to make sure the page is really a backlink. Be sure to also check for relative URLs.) - Lather, rinse, repeat (or recurse, for that matter.) until you have no more links left or you grow tired of all this, whichever happens first.
I'm sure some bright mind can make a Perl script, Firefox plugin or whatever out of this, if this hasn't been done already.
Slashdot Mirror
If you can somehow encrypt your SMB transfers, you'll be fine. I'm not sure there's a way to do this though.
IPSec?
Hmmm, something got lost in edit. 'This tool' refers to the CS Paper Generator used by the group in their earlier prank.

When I first saw that link I thought you ran the Constitution through the detector.
I wonder what the verdict would be, though.

Much more impressive than the THX sound in creation, reconstruction and rendition.

Nice one, but please do realize that this may block if not enough (quality) entropy is available. To cut corners :-) you could use /dev/urandom.
In other words, unless the carpet is in a casino, your method might not get it cleaned out well enough.

You left out the CmdrTaco option, you insensitive clod!

You forgot to return the answer numerically. No problem, Google helps with that, too.
t y-six+*+0.1+%3D
Add these two steps:
http://www.google.com/search?q=seven+hundred+eigh
http://www.google.com/search?q=78.6+*+10+%3D
78.6 * 10 = 786

You forgot Segwaying!

Isn't knowing how to search an absolute minimum prerequisite for trying to become a hacker???
Heck, even script kiddies need to have some guts for searching in order to find their 'toolz'...
