I helped write an encrypted socket based file transfer program for the Air Force in Java. CPU was the limiting factor in terms of throughput, but we were getting 50kb/s easy on a 1.3GHz P3 laptop. This was 128bit encryption too.
I discovered something interesting recently. You know your favorite video? Well, it has an ending. I know you've only ever seen the first 3 minutes. For a kick, skip ahead to 3 minutes from the end. Mind blowing.
Uh, the local zoo doesn't have too much trouble keeping the elephants under control. They have an approx. 1.5m deep by 2m wide concrete ditch surronding their enclosure. The walls are vertical, so it's a sheer drop and I guess the elephants know they can't make it across |_|. Seems to be a low cost solution.
The difference between Intel and AMD's cpu architecture yields similar performance but at very different clock speeds(AMD's 3200+ runs at 2.2GHz). Other aspects of PC performance continue to improve, so as long as the trend is towards greater overall system performance, clock speed matters less. And greater parallelism is a good way to achieve this.
They said the bulb was burned out when they examined the light pole. Light bulbs usually go out with a bright flash. Is it possible that the image was taken when the bulb flashed and the line is an artifact of the CCD? This last 4th of July I got some strange purple lines in images I took of fireworks going off. They weren't part of the fireworks flash, but artifacts from the camera having light metered to a specific level and then suddenly encountering a bright flash (this would be different than when the camera is expecting a flash from the internal flash).
wow, what a timely story... I just watched Logan's Run last night for the first time. Behold the transportation system of the future...from the late 70's! Wooo..
I noticed this morning when making sure I had my registration card that my name was mispelled. They had substitued an r for the second c.
When I went to vote the procedure was for one lady to verify my name in the book, while the other took my registration card and added my name to the signature book. The first lady had trouble finding my name, but I was able to spot it in the book and point it out (there was no attempt on her part to keep people from looking in the book). No one checked a photo id, and there didn't appear to be any coordination between the two women to make sure the name verified in the book matched the one on my card. Since no one asked for any form of identification the spelling error was never even noticed.
Voting was done with a scan-tron form which was then fed into a lock box.
I've never understood him...the point of a Ferrari is not to go fast in a straight line. Maybe he was just trying to figure out the most expensive way to possibly run in the 9's...
The decline in legibility of handwritting due to the widespread use of keyboards has been dicussed on slashdot before, but taking it a step further, what effect do you think prevelant voice recognition will have on out ability to spell?
On a side note:
"I don't have lip fungus!"
"Let it go."

After all, I could easily write an encrypted P2P voice chat program.
I'm sure they already exist...

I wonder what this will cost, weight, and how good the picture will look. Also, can I clip it to my wang?

I heard he the left the formula for transparent aluminum in his will...
This article is obviously a final, pathetic attempt by a desperate, desperate nerd to get some action swinging his way. Jebus be praised!
Actually it says OpenOffice.org 1.1.2 in the title bar.
I knew they would come in handy for something!!
How is 512mb a barrier? Unless we are talking about a sanity barrier.

Yes, you thought of it first! LOL

How long before we see sites dedicated to storage array building contests?
It behaves exactly as the normal Google search page.

Now I wonder what would happen to one of those new discs if you put one in the microwave for 5 seconds.
You get...pop music!

There are a series of 5 circles in a specific pattern... in the case of the new $50 it's the zeros in all the little "50"'s on the back.
Here's more info.

Actually, they'd be fine. As the plane pulls out of the dive, "gravity" gradually increases back to one G.
