Rear projection onto a transparent screen. Kinda cool but not worth £15000, not by a long shot. It seems to me to be a case of them mixing "can do" up with "should do".
It used to be standard bahaviour (apparently) to use hackers to catch hackers. I knew people in the 80s who were busted by the phone company here in the Land of OZ and were hired by said company to catch the other hackers. Don't forget that hacker slang even used to have a phrase for hackers who are caught and used by THEM to catch other hackers.
Most of the servers I get to play with are the undergrad servers at my university (where I am a user not an admin) they don't last very long as Computer Science students have a nasty habit of killing servers.
For example, one assignment I did in my undergrad studies involved forking processes in a loop (contained loop of course). Of course some idiots failed to halt their loop through programming faults and ended up fork()ing 100s of processes each. Even a multi-cpu linux server couldn't cope with that from 30 students.
I would say that your best bet would be to use something that is actually open source like PHP. ASP does some pretty cool stuff granted but open source is open source and ASP is not. If you want to save money go with PHP (or JSP not that I know much about JSP). The main benefit of using open source software like PHP or JSP is that you don't have to use a Mico$oft server.
the British empire was once so large that they could say "the sun never sets on Britain" and now it's just one country. France and the Netherlands had empires once as well. Then there was Charlemaine who ruled most of Europe.
In business we had Standard Oil, Ford, General Motors and countless others who had a massive market share and then fell over.
Now Toyota is considered powerful enough, by some comentators, that any market share GM and Ford have is just what Toyota lets them have.
Mandrake 10.1 doesn't have verbose as default. It has a boring little progress bar. However, I prefer verbose mode gives me something to read while my computer is booting.
I would have thought that we could avoid homophobic insults on slashdot. Whatever you think about homosexuality surely calling someone a "fag" as an insult is rather immature. I thought slashdotters were smarter than that.
Well one species already carries it's own barcode. It's always there on the back of their necks and grows back when it's removed. And one of them (X5-452) is a hottie as well.
I would say that there is an effectively infinite variety of species possible as there is variation in the amount of genetic material a species uses. That is, some species have more chromosomes and more genes on each chromosome.
Maybe projects such as this one might solve some taxonomic debates such as the old chestnut about whether Megachiroptera (fruit bats) and Microchiroptera (insectivorous bats) are acutally closely related.
For those of you who don't know the debate is as to whether Megachiroptera are closer related to primates than they are to the Microchiroptera. I personally believe that fruit bats are flying monkeys. Therefore, fruitbats are the only primates native to Australia (besides Homo Sapiens obviously).
but seriously, reading packets to find illegal activity would be difficult if not impossible to implement. Most people would mention illegal activities or words used in illegal activities as part of their usual daily internet usage. If you had a piece of software "sniffing" for references to illegal action it would get far more hits than you could ever sift through and use.
The best way to stop such activity by the way is to ensure that as many people as possible make innocent references to key terms as often as possible. Then there really will be too many hits for "them" to process.
however, every time I have to install windows there is some reason why I am not connected to the net. My linux box was one of 4 computers in the room, my cable router had died and I knew there was no chance of connecting the machine to the net within 30 days. So I kicked windows to the curb.
That's silly. Linux has far more Apps than windows. My Linux box has 2 full office suites for a start. I don't think I know anyone with windows can say that.
It's not choice of applications that caused me to change to Linux on my work/development box it's Windows' stupid activation process. Windows activation and the security holes in IE might be what kills windows.
Linux doesn't have to kill Micro$oft Bill Gates is doing a fine job on his own.
Most spam I get is about enlarging my penis, something that being a woman I can't do, or pleasing a woman with my staying power (I can't have erections for some strange reason). Why is it that most spam is aimed at men when it is obvious that women use the net and e-mail as well?
Today two out of the three I received (new e-mail address they obviously haven't found yet) were telling me to increase how well I can please a woman with exercises and drugs to increase my penis size. It is rather disturbing. One thing I want to know... do men actually think that increasing your penis size will make women ecstatic?

How does this shit get voted up as insightful?
Shit? What the hell?
Maybe you are missing something.
I would at least put my name to attacks I made.

Incidently, the word is "narq".

You must be a *nix user.
Doesn't matter, every computer crashes, because Every OS Sucks
My PC crashes quite reliably actually.

Got stuck on a rock? Maybe it has the same syndrome that the Mars rover had ;)

What I like about Linux is never having to reboot except when it is time for a kernal upgrade. :)

Or hardware installation
Hitory has proven that every empire falls. The only question is when.
