thats right.. but that does not scare away spammers.
i am not aware of any user that has no spam filer or would even consider buying something from a spammer, and nevertheless i recieve 200 spam mails a day.

we all know gnutella had a stinking algorithm for searching files. basically it was a big, fat broadcast of all queries to all hosts, regardless of whether it mattered to that host or not. only very few clients could cope with the linear growing bandwith requirement. the other just "missed" the queries and so the net fragmented.
there were a lot of people who knew this.
one of the first "academic" solutions that came up (at least to my knowing) was p-grid (http://www.p-grid.org/), which uses extremely interesting algorithms, but was never released to the public. i think kademlia uses those algorithms presented in the papers.
edonkey, kaazaa, and all the other offsprings of the hype had better solutions and of course this advantage is the reason they succeeded. these "new" algorithms are well-established, and it makes sense so seek new applications for them.
the recalled machines will be sold to gericom, who puts a new sticker on them and resells them as brand-new-bleeding-edge-desktop replacment. melting through plastic is a side effect that is expected of their machines.
normally (ok, at least sometimes) there is a balanced discussion here on slashdot. but on this surprisingly un-interesting topic (at least for the regular slashdotter) we see very strong opinions how good and bright nuclear power is.
have we been invaded by the nuclear power mafia or are just the people with mod points biased towards this topic?

With all of the products available to make your computer seem less like a desktop tool and more like a high end media center, one of the components that lacks the popularity you might expect is the TV tuner card. There are sound cards capable of 7.1 channel stereo, high powered speaker systems, AGP cards displaying on big screen monitors/televisions, and broadband internet for streaming media. But, what about one more entertainment goodie for your computer? The Transcend TV-Box USB 2.0 TV Tuner is an external TV tuner that will allow any couch potato with a computer to ditch the couch while still enjoying TV.
TV tuners aren't anything new, and even external devices such as this have been around for a few years. The feature of the Transcend TV-Box that got my attention right away was support for USB 2.0. I have previously been disappointed by the performance of a USB 1.1 tuner, and I am hoping the high speed interface of USB 2.0 makes a world of difference. A highly capable TV tuner in a compact USB 2.0 enclosure would be a perfect addition to a home theater pc, the typical desktop computer, and unlike a PCI based card, any laptop computer.
Features (as taken from the Transcend website):
Video Input Resolution up to 720*480 at 30 fps for NTSC.
Video Input Resolution up to 720*576 at 25 fps for PAL.
Full TV Channels.
USB 2.0 Supported, Plug and Play Compliant.
S-Video, Composite Video input, stereo audio line in and TV RF input.
IR Remote Control.
Power Consumption from USB with no power adaptor required.
Recording from TV or external video sources directly to hard drive.
Real-time MPEG 1 or 2 compression, and VCD/DVD file format supported.
Time-Shifting.
Multi-Channel Preview.
Pre-scheduled TV Recording.
Desktop or Laptop with USB 2.0 interface.
System memory 128 MB or above.
Windows XP (recommended), Windows 2000.
2-year Warranty.
Specification:
Size: 154mm x 84mm x 39mm (L x W x H)
Operating Temperature: 0C(32F) to 45C(113F)
Weight: 195g
System Requirements:
Desktop or laptop with USB 2.0 interface

The Transcend TV-Box USB 2.0 is sold in the retail packaging pictured in the images below. The front of the box (below left) provides a few features of the device, while the back of the box (below right) goes into much greater detail in several different languages.
Click Image for Larger View Click Image for Larger View
With the box opened up, the main items of interest are the TV tuner itself and the remote control unit. The below left image provides a first look at the TV tuner, which is a sleek black plastic device with a red lensed area housing a few status LEDs as well as allowing for the IR remote's signal to be received. The below right image shows the remote control which features all the buttons necessary to operate the TV and recording functions of the TV-Box. Both items are quite compact, with the tuner measuring roughly 5.5" x 3.25" x 1.5" inches and the remote being slightly longer than a credit card and not all that much thicker.

The remote control receives power via a slim watch style battery, and the tuner itself receives power via a USB cable. The below left image shows the side of the TV-Box with 3 connectors; 1/8" stereo jack output, USB jack for video/signal, and a DC power jack for use on USB. In addition there is a button for taking still image "snaps" that are saved to your hard drive. The below right image shows the rear of the device where the coaxial cable connection and A/V-in can be found.

hey mr. policeman.. you better not give me that speeding fine.. or else.. somebodies bank will get robbed.. you know, somebody ends up paying for this.
for myself, i tought more of a 20-billion line shell script..:-)
but fun aside, i really replaced a computer technican who used to analyze hardware failures with a shell script on a customized knoppix cd and a database with web interface. i think i'll print my own t-shirt with "shut up.. i can really replace people with shell scripts.. "
