This version is 591,809KB. The broken torrent from before is ~528MB. Could it simply be an incomplete file? If so, we could restart a torrent with the complete file.
Damn, I guess I'd better sell off my Micro$oft MN-700 802.11g router before everyone else catches this article!
I know, I know, M$ is the devil (I even use Gentoo Linux as my primary O/S) but I couldn't argue with a $65CND 802.11*G* router. Wanna buy a router?:-)
Try reading that again. The codes will be in the packaging of "cases of one" like printers. Leave the packaging around your home/garbage pail/recycling bin and the tags are now in your home for anyone to scan.
Quote:
Some individual products (cases of one, as Wal-Mart refers to them) will have tags. These include two types of HP printers and an HP ScanJet scanner.
The tags will be in the packaging of those individual products and the packaging will be marked with an EPCglobal symbol, indicating an EPC tag is present. The tags will be disposed of when the packaging is thrown away, and customers will not be tracked after they leave the store. Signs featuring the EPCglobal logo will be placed at the shelf where the HP products are sold to help customers identify tagged items.
Thanks for backing me up, Anonymous Coward. Anonymous Coward is an asshole. We need more people like Anonymous Coward to counter all the Anonymous Cowards out there:-)
Can anyone explain to me why people are not going to use GMail to distribute 1GB warez or media files? Just email a 1GB attachment to a list of GMail users and you'll get to use Google's excellent connection to distribute whatever you want.
How can they crack down on it without jepardizing the key feature of GMail: massive storage. If there was a 600MB transfer limit or something, how would I get my 1GB of mail on there in the first place?
At least they had to get a court-order to reassemble the packets. So unless you're getting packets from a terrorist's IP, or the subject line is "bombing tonight", I don't see how they could convince a judge to let them read your email.
Of course, I'm sure there are other government branches that don't have to be bothered with court orders. They probably read your email routinely and if they catch you, don't expect much due process:-)
Before you make fun of me, you might want to do some Googling.
My problem isn't that IBM's research or machines were used...it's that they actively worked with the Nazis to develop the system to sort people on there way to and in the concentration camps. Where do you think the codes on peoples' arms came from?
Rule against free speech on the internet? Not yet buddy;-)
Look, don't take my word for it. Do some research and prove me wrong. Either way, thanks for the bad karma.
lol Thanks for the troll rating. Woohoohoo. I live under a virtual bridge waiting for unsuspecting victims:-) The 6 posts I've made to/. prove my troll-ish ways:-)
I know another museum that houses IBM machines: the U.S. Holocaust Museum. I think it's unfair that a giant corporation is allowed to profit from the money and the expertise they gained supporting the Nazi regime (as well as the Allied forces) in the 1940's. I know the IBM of today is far removed from the IBM of then, but it pains me that they have never been held responsible, even financially.
I agree that the cell companies provide pretty good coverage in downtowns but anyone whose tried to use a cell inside an apartment knows what I'm talking about. The buildings cause interference and the higher you go the worst it gets. In fact, no company will even guarantee reception inside any building.
As for this service from Fido, they claim it uses a "Multipoint Communications Systems", not the cell network. I doubt they have a wifi access point everywhere they have a cell tower. I would wait until this Fall when Telus, Bell or Rogers are expected to announce 1Mbit access using the cell networks themselves.
There's no way they could provide coverage like this in an area with a lot of high-rises. The people on the far side of the building would have horrible reception. Imagine trying to cover an area like downtown Vancouver or Toronto?

Does that mean there is something up there to eat that lunar landing equipment after-all?
Time to get converting your favourite Greasemonkey user scripts to full-blown Firefox extensions ;-)
Some details here http://www.keebler.net.nyud.net:8090/blog/2005/07/ 09/convert-greasemonkey-user-scripts-to-firefox-ex tensions/
http://javadesktop.org/lg3d/livecd-isos/lg3d-3-mar -05.iso.gz is working for me :D
This is a valid ISO! I was able to download and run it! It's dying when it detects my ATI drivers...but Knoppix is definitely running :D

Can't one just use the Java Media Framework API to stream movies over Java applets? http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/index. jsp
You could always cache Suprnova or the files on Suprnova though :-D
HA! Take that M$ :-D

Whatever size they set it at, you just send RARs of that size. The key is that your mailbox can hold 1GB of them.
wtf is your problem you Anonymous Coward.

An interesting read: IBM and the Holocaust: The Strategic Alliance between Nazi Germany and America's Most Powerful Corporation
I wholeheatedly agree, sir :-)

But where is the justice for Gentoo users :-)
