First off I live in one of the super windy portions of the San Francisco. Wind funnels down market and the various hills so that I experience regular wind blasts.
This was just like a normal wind blast, in that my huge windows pushed in and the pressure changed in the room. Then instead of slowly going back out like normal the windows shot out REALLY changing the air pressure in the room. It was at this point that I realized it wasn't just a normal blast of wind. Then the TV shook, the shelves moved and the windows came back at me.
Basically it felt to me like a roller coaster... gentle turn (rolling sensation), jolt (hard turn), roll, roll, and a sigh as it was over. Stuff shook but nothing too special and nothing was broke. I also happen to live in a new building designed to handle big earthquakes.
The cool thing was looking out my windows and watching the city light up as everyone turned on their lights and went to their own windows.
Just check the info on these guys. They exist solely to sue other people, it appears to be a very small (maybe even one person) company. They have very few internet resources (using a yahoo email address? web hosting company), fax number isn't concurrent with phone meaning they can't even afford a block of numbers, poor office location, etc...
Yes Sendmail had some atrocious holes. Yes it seemingly took forever to get them fixed.
But c'mon we are talking about a program that at best was running on tens of thousands of machines during it's worst security times. As Sendmail usage has gone up so has the security it has offered. Comparing to a hole in a client that is deployed on millions of computers really isn't fair.
If it wasn't for Jordan, FreeBSD would really be dead. Many of you don't remember because you weren't around but when jkh started working his ass off on FreeBSD it was a pile of stinking refuse. This was during the time of the rising linux kernel (around rev.99? or earlier?). Unix on peecees was not pretty and not in way reliable. I worked at one of the first small ISPs (this was when Gopher was king) and a coworker convinced us to migrate from linux to FreeBSD because of some really bad linux fs bugs at the time (INN+linux was asking for trouble).
We never looked back. Over the years I've built at least 50 servers based on FreeBSD and at least that many based on linux. I've found them both to be reliable and good enough for commercial use but thanks to jkh and his pragmatic views on an OS distribution FreeBSD has been the more "stable" OS over the years.
Maximum transfer rate is asynchronous 732.2/57.6kbps. Sync is around 433kbps. So don't expect to be transfering lots of data around. This is still plenty fast enough though for DiVX movies.
Marketable securities are a dead horse. If MSoft really tried to cash even 1/3 of that they would be flooding the market and the price would tank. So who knows what the real value of that portion is.
Nintendo would fight to the death before being taken over by anyone. They are old, what 1889 or something? Nintendo is a really strong company, at the end of 2001 their stock was worth $165 US dollars a share. They also ended the year with about 6.3BN in the bank.

There are a couple of SDKs for the PJB including an open one which you can find either on sourceforge or freshmeat. The openPJB project is quite old and has been out for a while.
Also using a program called:PJBExploder: which has been out for at least 6 months one can play songs through your PC with the PJB or download your music files off the player to a computer. It will also allow you to push up non mp3 files.
It will only plays mp3s however, but so what? The PJB design is an old one.
Check the yahoo PJB group, there are quite a few 3rd party user created programs out there.

Do you have any idea how *bad* the rest of the world is too? Fine; it is okay to continually beat ourselves up over things that happened in the past. But if you must do so, don't forget to compare atrocities and ill-actions done by other governments in the same time period.
The US is full of faults, even today, but we are no scourge of the world.
First off we sometimes use PGP for file transfers at work. We get census data, 401kdata, lots of data with special numbers in it that people should never see. Why do we use PGP at all? Because most of the older large institutions move like the slow behomths they are. They take forever to evaluate something, much less actually roll it out. Commericial PGP was great because it gave us somewhere to point these people who still require us to allow FTP for these files and other early/mid 90s transfer methods. The commercial site offered a nice packaged product, but more importantly, SUPPORT. Support is key to large companies, they buy it for everything, regardless of need.
Now why the decline? Thanks to the widespread usage of SSL and now SSH we have convinced many of these old guard companies to go with real time data that is sent over SSL connection or through SSH tunnels (or even with scp). This is great! No more pesky FTP around. Easy key management. Easy to setup and watch. Sure the data isn't as secure in transit but really if it is secure enough to give this user the data, it is secure enough to transfer it with. Of course the best thing about realtime data is we can throw it away instantly meaning there is nothing laying around for the average village idiot script kiddie to pick up.
The only downside is we have some users that actually SCP PGP encrypted files over to us. It will be a shame when that type of security has to go away because they will dump PGP the second they can't purchase support for it.

Nethack 3.4.0
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
It takes far longer to get into and appreciate the wonder that is nethack. You can turn off autopick up and the game becaomes incredibly more complex as you go. I finished nethack a few times, my shortest overall time was around 19 hours. The first time it took me about 45 hours of playtime.
How many other games can you do this?
Run from a pack of monsters you can't possible beat. So as you approach an open stretch of water you fire a wand of cold, or spell and freeze the top of the water. You skoot across the water (possibly slipping if wearing metal shoes) to the other side. Then you wait on the other side for the monster's to approach. After they are over the water, on the ice, you send them so fire. Okay boom it hits them. Maybe it hurts them a lot... but that doesn't matter because the fire melts the ice and if they can't swim then you can watch 'em drown. This is just one of dozens of cool things you can do in nethack.
My favourite nethack memory was wearing a ring of conflict and watching the four horseman of the apocolypse kill each other over and over again as I sacrificed the Amulet on the wrong alter and laughed as my god tried in vain to kill me for this blasphemy.
Syncing music over bluetooth would be god awful slow. Do you really want to move up files at 70-100k a second?
I guess if you had some sort of queing method in place to automatically upload files if you were near that would rock.
The other thing no one seems to mention. Bluetooth seems to gobble a lot of power when running in discovery mode. Yes I know it isn't comparable to 802.11 but when it cuts the standby time on a phone from well over a week to a couple of days it is a pretty big hit.
Oh sheesh like this is an original idea. Stop patting yourself on the back there, camper.
You are just another hack who not only steals other comments because you can't come up with your own, but you can't even come up with an original idea.
Any decent movie reporting list also has a "$$ per screen" average as well. You will find after observing those for a short time it becomes really easy to pick the potential sleepers and the art/foriegn films that are going to do really well.
Wasn't quite up to using it? Perhaps time has confused your memory.
DesqView/X would not have run on that machine, period. IIRC it would only run with a minimum of 12M ram and that was with trickery to fool it into believing there was 16M of ram.
"At the end of the day, more than 80% of handhelds sold run Palm OS"
This is no longer mid 2000. At the start of 2001 WinCE had quickly grown from 7% to 10% marketshare. Currently PalmOS devices account for around 70% market share. You can verify this by checking the PDFs of companies that recommend buying options on PDA stocks. WinCE devices are around 26% with the rest taken up by the extremely small players.
7% December/00 to 26% January/02. That is quite a shift isn't it?

CISCO actually preaches in their advanced networking design (one of the things needed to get a CCIE) that all intelligence should be moved outside the core. The core exists only to switch they scream time and time again. They are right.
Examing packets is damn expensive, you don't want that in your core layer at all. You want it moved out as far as possible to move the possible bottleneck as far towards the end user as possible. A well designed network does its job well without having any fricken idea whats going on other at any high levels.
Conversely the upside of this belief for vendors is it helps to sell more equipment since you need more layers to properly shield the core from having to examing the packets.

HP is going to end up with a rather large market share in PDAs with the combination of the jornada line into the iPaqs (iPAQ Pocket PC).
