Doesn't it seem like every other day someone comes up with a claim that HIV and AIDs will have a cure, soon, today, next year. Could hit the market in the next few years is turning into a famous cliche for HIV related cures.
In other news, still no cure for cancer. When will these scientists get there crap together.
Where I work we generally use cisco PoE switches.(3550-SMI-24PWR). Not only do we use them for IP Telephones, but also for our WAPS, which support the 802.3af standard. The WAPs, because they are running cisco's prorietary Discovery Protocol (CDP) are able to regulate how much power (watts) are used by the switchport they are connected to (and obviously by the WAP). This saves a small amount of electricity and is pretty neat.
I would venture guess that most companies which makes switches for the enterprise market will be switching to all poe switches and blades with in the next few years, or atleast make a move too.
I just bought a home within the tempe city limits, right next to fry's electronics. Life is good. Er, wait, Fry's sucks ass. Well, atleast I can get a city wide wifi account.
While not fair by any means, to me this is clearly an example of one faction of the governments: Setting examples.
I would speculate that the browser inadvertently sent some malformed HTTP POSTS or otherwise made some "usual" as in "unusual garbage posts to credit card processing engine" and spooked the sysadmin who had far to much time on his hand and the local police number on speed dial.
poor bastard..I bet if he was using linux this wouldn't have happend;]
Google at it's heart is a great search engine company that made all the right choices to become the best (and greatest) search engine we now use..the problem is that they're now a publicly owned corporate entity working on the behalf of share holders. I think it's really the greed of the company driving it to do these rather nasty things (eg. censoring in china, bowing down to who knows what other governments and corporations). They're in it for the money now and thats going to be the major driving force; specifically advertisment and the control of information presented to us (consumers). If they control the browsers, or otherwise and other *interfaces* of information, they control the advertisment space involved. Seems like a logical progression to me.
This is one of the most important things that we, as the human race, need to be exploring at this point. The obvious (and not so obvious to some) realities we're facing will be here to haunt us at some point. We can't stay here forever.
The only problem I'm seeing is that Jeff isn't allowing people from the 'outside' to join or help at all (AFAIK). I'd give my left testicle to join.
Anyone else smell a law suit? Oh, you can't smell? Or breathe? Must be the laced with copper and aluminum fibers paint you've just smothered the babies crib and the inside of your house with. Does anyone else think this crap just wreaks of a law suit? Or are we all disoriented and stricken with alzheimers due to the aluminum and copper laced paint chips we just unknowningly ate with our cherrios?
Actually it's a 128bit addresses space, but I'm not an expert. What I do know is that when ARIN or whomever starts to really hand out addresses and they become hugely routable on the internet now, It's not going to be that difficuilt at all..they are likely to assign address space contigously for one, secondly most of the IPv6 space "prefixes" will be availabe on routers making the 'spray' range for certain blocks less than/32 or/48.
There's more than one way to do this, my point is that having every device, cell phone, blow-up doll online isn't a good thing. It just leaves everyone open to attack.
According to the article, half of the 'core' networking equipment was suppied by chinnese companties, of the two, one happened to be Huawei technolgies.

One of my favorite quotes to be found on cisco's website:
Copying of IOS source code: Cisco alleges that Huawei has copied portions of the Cisco IOS source code and included the technology in its operating system for its Quidway routers and switches. Huawei's operating system contains a number of text strings, file names, and bugs that are identical to those found in Cisco's IOS source code.
You know just as well if everyone on the planet had their own dedicated IP space, the number of trojans, worms, and other malicious code that uses IP 'sprays' to find hosts would spiral out of control.. I don't think anyone realizes how many PC's are effectively firewalled and safe thanks to the NAT routers you think we should abandoned. Even if we did have IPv6 available at home, no business with enough sense to rub together would give every end user a block of IP's, routing of their own IP's (block), nor would they unblock 'malicious' ports and known common ports at the CPE level (cable or DSL modem). The current market dictates that services should be can on dedicated _servers_. IPv6 is only going to be realized as your thinking suggests when programs which listen on ports become secure..which may never happen.
I'd rather spend my time surfing and downloading files than watching television. For example, I've watch about 5 minutes of cable news regarding the recent tsunami, of which 3-4 minutes of the footage was pulled directly off the internet and I had already seen it.
I'll add that Rudi whomever on cnn headline news is hawt.
1. This is simply a transportation infrastructure project. It's designed for passenger vehicles and commercial trucks, each partitioned in their own lanes.
2. WTF is wrong with rail lines? How much cheaper would they be? If the goal of this project is to ensure that commercial traffic can pass smoothly from north texas (ok, OK;P) to mexico, then build a dedicated rail line which would accomplish the same feat.
3. Profit?
My opinion? Simply another shot in the dark, dumb texas a la Bush ideology in full swing. This only benifits the contractors (Bush), future maintainers (Bush). Rather then work towards future transportation mechanisms (air travel), let's whore out and expand oil based land travel to it's Texas-Potential(TM).
How to create a Wifi hotspot truck/van/pinto/clowncar for dummies:
1. Put together linux box with two interfaces, one being an 802.11g pci card, the other a not-yet standarized possibly 802.16d card. Connect both to rooftop or clown held antannas.
2. enable dhcp/ip routing/nat between the interfaces, or simply bridge the traffic if possible.
3. Profit*
Also, most wifi manufacturers are creating wireless repeiters (basically bridges) which will extend the range of your signal. Purchasing upgraded antannas might help as well, esp. since most linksys use R-TNC connectors..I've found cheap -7db antannas at frys, not to mention they're all over the internet.
Maybe I'm just getting old, but doesn't this seem lame as hell? Sure it's fun calling up your buddies T-Mobile cell phone # and getting into his VM, changing his greeting to something ubscene..but..
Doesn't this just seem rather weak? It's only fun for about 5 minutes and has been around forever. For me, it's like the equivilent of spoofing smtp headers. MAN, THAT WAS FUN IN 1994...
The next simulation will include the ability to fly what the scientists have named the 'borg cube'. Patrick Stewart (Locutus) unavailable for questioning.
As for the long answer,
The company I've been working for is facing the same issues. We've tried our best to use spybot and adaware, but as explained, they aren't working as well as they used to. We've seriously been sending out bootable cd's which reinstall the entire os and software packages we use. This is the second step. The first is educating the end user on not what to do, what not to click. I think most people are simply pressing 'yes' to just about everything that popsup on their computer screen, obviously contributing to the problem. I think until anti-spyware software improves (the next versions of major antivirus suites are going to help this), educating the end user and then finally just reinstalling everything is one of the only practical solutions.
Personally, I find the situtation appaling, but understanding the situation from a different prospective, it's actually a good thing. I'd much, much, much rather have commercial companies exploiting these bugs NOW then some 14 y/o or super ninja hax0r from North Korea exploiting these during some massive pearl harbor like attack.
Someone, obviously, hasn't seen the Lion King. I eat other animals poop every day; atleast that's what the movie insinuates. In Addition, I eat my own poop.
In related news, an all female crew with the sole addition of one male counter part resulted in the highest rated moral ever encountered by the Armed Forces.
I, for one, welcome our all female crew ovarylords.
So..whats your problem again exactly?
You need to explain to us exactly why you choose not to adapt VoIP; Is it because long distance is a fraction of a price when compared with traditional long distance rates over POTS? I'm guessing not..but this is one of the major reasons why people will adopt voip technolgies at home and at the work place. Cheaper prices and getting a good deal is what drives this consumer market, for a certain percentage of people to be sure.
The second argument you bring up has little relation to the first and is a complete contradiction of what your doing, posting on slashdot on a networked computer...learn something that does not have a power requirement?
