Yesh...the jokes are obnoxious.
I dont think that google(or any other commercial company) have any right taking control of wikipedia. I'd be fine if it was just hosting, and mabey even a search, but companys like this have a tendancy to take over realtivly small things like this. (Look at google's buying out of keyhole *even though it wasnt a direct compeditir but niether is wikipedia) Anyways, as long as google doesent go too far, which they problably will, im OK with it.
Shateaza can utalize Bittorrent, ed2k, gnutella1, and gnutella2, all featurea that i would rather not give up, and having them all in one app saves me a lot of time
the MPAA will NEVER completly shut down Bittorent, or p2p in general. 2 things will happen, first, other sitea will emerge, and second a modification of the bittorrent protocol will allow searching without relying on websites. BTW: isoHunt ownz Shareaza is the best client for windows ever, though I wish there was a port to linux. One last thing, can anyone suggest a good (full-featured)Client for linux?
In the article, it says 2000 parents complained. This is only problably because this is a highly catholic community and they dont want their chilren believing otherwise. I think that these stickers shouldent have even been put there in the first place. First of all, evolution has been PROVEN to take place in some form or another, from bones and fossles, and whick would you be more inclined to believe - A modern theory with -=*PROOF*=- or a child's story that dates back c. 2000 years ago? I'll admin that i have had wierd dreams of highet powers and crap, but they defy about every scientific law there is.
This is a subtle example of church INFLUENCING our government, and the stickers should have been made optional or "opt out"able.
Well, i guess I have to comment on this, as i have experienced it first hand. I started fooling qround with Q-basic a few years ago, not because of usefullness, but just because of simplicity. Soon after that, I started going to a computer camp, which i think is the best way to start learning. There i picked up C++ and Some Java, along with other skills, like animation and networking. Once i had been taught the base, I am now able to teach my self almost anything, and expand.
My suggestion would be to just show them basic or something simpel, get them interested, then have them taught a by someone who both likes kids and knows what their talking about. Then from there, they can learn by themselvs. Personally I'm planning to take a computer programming class in highschool, thgen who knows what from there.
Look at P2P networks, HDTV Recorders, and DVD Burners. They all are pretty much expected to be used for illeagle purposes (expect DVD burner), but remain jusafied by their marketed intent. If this product were marketed as "Tempoary car disguise" it would be ruled illeagle, but thew will not, just as P2P networks are advertized as "a way to share your own files" not "a way to pirate shit", however it will always be used illeagly.
I donlt think these will have any legal problems, but it makes fun deate on/.
I guess i would be a whippersnapper(15), however, I have played nethack, and i found it interesting and could have played it for a long time, but if I have a modern compter at my disposal, i perfer newer games. However, i do play nethack on my Pocket PC.
The earliest game i really enjoyed was wolf3d, and still play it every one and a whild, but I dont want to spend money on an old consile (atari)
Is this nausia centerd aroung a group (older people) of is it just for very dedicated gamers. I'm 14, and play on average for 2 hr chunks, and have never noticed any nausia. Mabey this problem effects only older people, or mabey (problably) you need to play for more than 2 hrs at a time, which is not a great idea.
Mabey its a reaction for not seeing sunlight for over 48 hours.
With s group of students or a busy area will make this VERY slow. At average, you will gat 11(im assuming.11b) MBps, but shared with 20 people (not uncommon in taiwan) it will be slowed to.5 Mbps, which i guess is worth the $12
Has there been one reader that didnt think of tape at first reading?
It wolnt work. There is no way in slashdot it will work. What were they thinking when they sugested it. Couldnt they fortell the flaming this would get on/.? Tape for light and Tape or scredriver for sound, if a firmware hack isnt avalable.
What were they thinking? I do agree that picture phones should be detectable, but without sufficient technology (camera detection), it is impossibe.
When the U.S. makes plans to set up a moonbase, it will certainly claim a large section of moon-realty. What will happen when we are fighting over land on the moon, or will the U.S. just take it all, and sell it to others. Now, some orginization like like UN should split it up fairly, mabey giving plots of land based on contry size or population.
This problem should be solved by the U.S. making a regulation that prevents import unless the seeds are legal. Iraq should not want to or have to deal with this
there are several possibilities:
A) Release date feb 9, 2005. Shitty thrown together game (We've seen Microsoft do it with other products)
B) Release date feb 9, 2006. We all know it will be several months later than expected.
C) Refering to some other MS product, Longhorn?
D) Some off insignificant add-in or DLable content.
I'm suprissed this made it on to/.
I see many uses for this, but it shouldent be seen as a compeditor against large P2P networks. This would be great if you were a group of students working on a project, and clicked a button and saw a list of project related files on your group's computers, or even had access to their music. I dont think this is meant as a replacement for large-scale Networks like eDonky or GNUTella(2). Keep up good work and PLEASE dont focous on illagel sharing of files, rather on colaboration and efficency of groups. [redundant] Do whatever to keep RIAA out of this[/redundant]
I'm all for the little companys getting a break, and for a prosperout open source community, but when it comes to patents, little companies and especically not-for-profit orginizations cant do anything to stop giants like Microsoft and Google. I think the MOzila foundation showed their might in generating cash with their ad, Money makes the world go round, and smaller companies dont have any(enough) of it to challenge Microsoft.
If only there was a way to change the patent laws, but those giants are too conservative and have too many resources and lawyers.
This could actuially end up benificial to the market. For example, if someone invented a new technology and the patent bought by one company they would hold it and use it to lead the market, but now many companys will have access to it and this would encourage competitveness. We have seen patent-buying strategies used before my microsoft that lead to a huge amount of undetermination to write effective software. It would be worse if microsoft alone bought the license and used it to destroy and overrun the competition.
This will niether help nor hurt the open source community, because a patent is a patent, and theres nothing you can do about that without money.
they problably converted the text into a very high res picture (eack letter slightly over 1000 px high) and backed it up several times.
But really i could understend that a commercial giant like Wal-mart could have harvested this much data, over x (x being a large number, equal to the number of years Wal-mart has been in buisness) years, but i think the estimate of data on the internet (230 TB) is a little skimpy, especically if they include filesharing networks (which they should) and all data on computers or corperate networks that are connected to the internet (theoretically data on the internet).
Whats more unnerving than the fact that he has made money from spamming is that he can make money from this. After so much publicity about spam and scams related to it, i'm suprised that any company is willing to dish out this amount of money to advertise on Jeremy's spam list, or that any user is vunerable to this type of davertisement. We see so many mail filters, but this story shows how many people are still exposed to spam.
Firefox for Windows also won't run on Linux.
lets see:
Firefox for windows wolnt run on linux
IE for windows wolnt run on linux
Firefox for linux will run on linux
IE for linux will... o wait, there is no IE for linux.
You could get them to run with WINE, but it has its own set of problems

Wal-Mart's Data Obsession
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
I would assume this data is more than just shopping trends. I guess it includes survelance photos, employee data, backups of it all, etc.
if it is all shopping trends, there are either very observative or stalkers.
This would be perfeect for simple text displays (labesl or stock tickers). Anyone know anything about when it will be commercically avalable, and what its uses will be?
If you had one of these things, what would you do with it?
Two solutions, both of which are problably cheaper.
1) just have several night vision cameras mounted than can watch the audience during the showing. If monotored by the theater security, it would be very easy to stop anyone with any type of camera.
2) I personally dont have a camera, but my webcam is capable of viewing Infra-red light, so they could mountseveral IR flood lights around the thearer, and it would be like trying to record the sun, and blind the rest of the camera. Of course, there would be ways to avoide this, but just an idea.
P think storing files on a cheap media that will likley be around for a while is the best possible solution. In a few years when very few computers have cd drives, i will just update them to the new format. I will problably be laughing at my self in 3 years, but I will guess that the physical shape of the CD will be common for another 5 years, and drives will always be able to read them.

I Its not that the single player is bad, just halo will be just like any other game. Recently, we have seen many new high quality engines come out (The Doom 3 engine and CryEngine) that are sure to lead to a brand new set of completly unique games that are likly to blow us away. Halo 2 will be just like the original, plus computer is the only true playform for FPS's.
