Its funny to see the lenses leaning against the vinyl siding of that house. Although the focal point is off, it would be funny/ironic in the cosmic karma sense if that lead to the burning down of that house!
How, in this day and age, does Cisco leave sensitive information like their network OS source code on a computer/grid that is accessible from the outside internet?
Ever since the Florida incident, whenever I hear of an election upset that invovled some method of e-Voting implemented somewhere in the system, I get suspicious...
I have had an account with hotmail long before Microsoft bought them out as reported in Cnet Jan. 3 1998. It has survived moving to new locations and outsurvived other email accounts I had at various universities. It even survived moving to Colombia for two years while I was a missionary. Hotmail has been good to me in those 7 years. I can even say that I have be blessed not to get all the junk mail clogging up my inbox. I may get one or two a day that don't get blocked. Yet I see 7 years of famine on the horizon. If Microsoft thinks it can start whitelisting its own (without any compensation going into my wallet [ I wouldn't mind getting a "whitelist" email now and then if my paypal account was augmented accordingly] ) then they are kissing my account goodbye. All it takes is one mass email (spam?) to all my friends and family and I have a new email account.
My $0.02 worth!

/.ers, you do realize that the majority of house calls will be on Windows systems, don't you? This must change the number of/.ers "qualified" to be a digitician!!!
I mean, can you imagine getting a house call on some Linux box???
The Mormons comb records and databases of people already dead. So thinking that they handed over some uber list of American citizens to the government is flawwed thinking.
DARPA did help lay the foundations for the Internet. They may be in a good position to bring positive innovation to the IP protocol. Just as long as enough of us/.ers can see through any hidden embedded packet sniffing credit card stealing email reading we're watching you protocols, we should be GREAT.
Back in the 1800's, millions flocked to America as the land of opportunity and a place to start over and make something out of yourself.
Are we seeing a mini-exodus that signals that India is now the forerunner for the place of opportunity and a chance for success?
I think at some point the outsourcing needs to be regulated or even curbed back. I think also there should be a public list of companies that have outsourced to any foreign land and how many American jobs were lost because of it. I understand these are highly opinionated, but come on, we are cannabalizing ourselves.
I think its funny [ironic] that DARPA added chlorine to the talent pool initially, thus eliminating many would be contestants, and now they are faced with so few "eligible" entrants.
Maybe they should go back, apologize to some of the "out of the home garage" participants, and invite them to replace the a few of the multi-million dollar corporate-sponsored failures.
All this from a humble robot loving gEEk.
Lots of/.ers have been quick to point out that turbo codes have been around since 1993. However, the IEEE article points out that LDPC ( low density parity check) codes were invented in the early 1960s. Researchers have gotten the LDPC codes to outperform the turbo codes, and to top it off, the LDPC patents have all expired, meaning no royalty fees like turbo codes.
