According to the network guy here (who I highly respect) many well-networked universities are moving to 100mbit switched non-blocked full duplex. (meaning I have 100 mbit link to anywhere on campus no matter what.) This is mainly in preparation for video over the local network. (In fact, we already have a video server here which allows students to "rent" movies for the day to watch on their computer for a small fee.)
I expect other universities to follow in the coming years. I guess I assumed that other schools would pick up with this a little er. (especially CMU, although they seem to focus more on wireless networks..)
It depends on the network. In a shared non-switched environment, password sniffing is very simple. Many universities are migrating to 100mbit switched networks, which means your traffic is localized. (except for broadcast traffic, of course.) This also means that you can not switch your ethernet card into promiscious mode and lift passwords as easily.
konqueror does this now. (At least the browser crashing and the download progressing) The download window is handeled by a seperate process. I think kde CVS has support for file resuming, but I have not tested it yet.
Well, paper companies will like it. They may have to employ more people to keep up with demand. The post office will have to hire more people to sort and deliver it. The companies will have to employ more people to handle all of it. Brick companies will need more people to make bricks.. etc..
In the end, it will make it back to the consumer in the price of products. I don't mind paying $0.20 more for something if it means more people can have a job.
I watched Star Wars, Episode 1 sitting next to some little kid who couldn't read yet. His dad read EVERY FUCKING SUBTITLE in the WHOLE MOVIE. I knew it was going to be bad when they had the star wars scrolling text and he was reading it.
It was worse, than this. Every time there was a subtitle, the little kid would start complaining saying "What did he say, daddy? What did he say?!" If they didn't tell him right away he would start crying. Brat.
Argh..
Maybe that's why I didn't like that movie too much..
Amaya is not really meant to be used. It's more of a reference renderer to see what correct markup should look like. Even on that it's usually pretty slow. It's not meant to be fast, but correct.
Either way, I would easily pay a quarter to play some of the classic games against someone else. It would really fit in with the college crowd. We grew up with these games. After high school, most of us went in different directions. Something like this would let us play our favorite classic games against each other from across the world.
That is the size reported. In actuality it takes more. Depending on your cluster size (assuming fat filesystem; fat32 can help prevent this) the file will take the entire cluster. (One cluster can hold only 1 file)
So, by having one bookmark file instead of many, you save disk space.
With large hard drives, you tend to use larger clusters, probably 32k per cluster. So, multiply all of your favorites files by 32k, and it adds up fast.

This already exists as an ActiveX component that comes with IE.
:-)
No one uses it on the Internet, though.. because it is ActiveX.

Sun dodged the question about multiple programming languages a bit..

It could help the economy! :-)

it worked in a lot of konami games.
I don't think it was ever unlimited lives, though. (A lot of lives, but not unlimited.)

If apps crash on startup, this suggests an installation problem.
Try it on a fresh account and see if it still happens.

I was asking about the acceleration. I know it can be done in software, hence the title of my message.. ;-)

Does anyone know which graphics cards this will work with? I had heard something about it only working with matrox cards, but wanted to verify.
-- Thrakkerzog
Well, most of those processor cycles are on your graphics card.

Just a quick note:
Konqueor CVS supports the hover pseudo-tag.

Shouldn't he be writing kernel code?? :-)

Don't forget about theme park! There's a bunch of new quality themes you can download.
here is a link to theNetscape Theme Park.

Nobody protested the building of a hyper-space bypass through earth, even though the plans for it were widely available at alpha centauri.
(If you don't get this joke, and are reading slashdot.. well.. )
It's a bit on the extreme side, but how many people do you know that actually go out and look at the ballots before the election?

Look again. CSS support is quite good in Konqueror.
Don't confuse it with KFM.

Does that include the network connection?
