When I looked into it a few years ago, publishers wanted nearly the same amount of money for an ebook as they did for a hardcover. It just didn't make sense to me, and I felt ripped off.
The other concern is of course DRM. I want to purchase the book and be able to read it anywhere I want: on my desktop, laptop, palm pilot, ipod, whatever.
Go look at an old tape deck... Might be hard to find one nowadays.
The buttons usually used 3 letter shortforms for the actions: "rec" for record, "rew" for rewind and "ffw" for fast-forward. Oddly, play was always "play", I don't remember seeing "ply" or another shortform for it (other than the symbols).
I used to do that... But your body adapts, and soon enough, you don't notice the light anymore. (or you just pull the covers over your head).
I *have* moved the alarm to the other side of the bedroom, so I would have to walk accross the room to turn it off. I still ended up going back to bed. There have been times when I have woken up to the alarm clock, and had no idea what it was, or how do make it stop. Luckily the alarm clock survived.:)
It takes me ~30 minutes in the morning to completely wake up (after I get up). After hitting the snooze button for about an hour or so, I get up and read the paper until I feel fully awake.
The best I have found is to go to bed at a fixed time and STICK TO IT! You will eventually start waking up right on time, even without usuing an alarm clock.
It may not seem so strange, once you put it into context.
I would find it quite strange if Piers actively went out searching for pedophiles to correspond with. However, a more plausible explanation is that the pedophiles initiated contact first.
It seems very likely that a pedophile would be interested in some of the situations portrayed in Mr. Anthony's works, and would want to contact the author.
Have you purchased a pre-built computer from one of the major computer manufacturers lately? If you have, and have opened the case, you will have probably noticed how they are put together. Usually, they use a custom MB that will fit only in their case, with 2 or 3 additional PCI slots. That's it. There isn't a whole lot that the end consumer (if they were technically inclined) could do to upgrade the system. Why? Because computers today have become "appliances" in the sense that the manufacturer never expects you to upgrade.
Computers have become the toaster or blender equivalent of 2002. They are appliances that are bought and used, and afterwards, thrown away to make room for the newer model. How often have you upgraded your toaster? (I'll admit, some people probably have, but most have not)
What would it take for computers to become consumer friendly without the waste? Modularity.
Imagine this: Each component of your computer is fully encased in a form standard plastic enclosure, with integrated power and bus connectors on the top and bottom. To "build" a computer, you simply assemble the boxes to your liking; clicking them together much like assembling Legos. Each "block" is a standard length and width, with height depending on the requirements of the component (i.e.: the power unit might be 2-3 times higher than say, the audio component.).
You would start with your power-supply, or battery component on the bottom, and just keep adding new components on top. Add a processing unit, a RAM unit, a few HD units, video unit, sound unit, and maybe some ROM units (CD, DVD etc). and you have built your computer. Unhappy with the performance? Add another processor unit! Want a small (portable) computer? Just remove all the parts you don't need.
There are some problems with this however.
The first is the bus that would have to be used. It would need to be incredibly fast in order to support having the RAM separate from the Processing units.
The computer would need to be legacy free (is that really a problem nowadays?)
Vendors would need to standardize on all of the connectors, block sizes etc.
If everything was standardized, almost all the computers would look the same.
These are just a few of the problems, but remember, these are intended to be true "consumer" products, and not intended for those of us who rip our PC's apart on a weekly basis. It is simply intended to allow people to fully customize and upgrade their systems easily. With this, anyone can go to the store, and buy the new Super Hexium XXVI Processor and install it in their computer. No hassles, just snap the new unit on top of your existing stack and it's done.
Well there's a simple solution for you... If you don't like it, don't read it! Sure/. has grown over the past few years, and not every article will be of interest to you, but that doesn't mean that it is not of interest to other readers.
I personally have tried out 5 different registrars, with easyDNS being the best so far... Their web interface kicks ass, and their support is second to none.
As far as transferring a domain, it is fairly simple. I got tired of the spam and sales calls that NSI was sending my way... especially the really annoying ones, where they call you about your domain and make it sound serious by quoting a case number - when all they are trying to do is sell you a.biz domain! After that, I switched all of my domains over to easyDNS. It took about three days, but the fees involved went towards an additional year of service.
And no, I don't work for easyDNS... I am just a very happy customer.
...IPIX US patents include: 5,313,306,
5,185,667, and at least two others. Some of their claims are quite
broad, suggesting that any geometric remapping of a fisheye image is
their invention. There is considerable prior art that would seem to
invalidate these broad IPIX claims. Variations of fisheye image
geometric remapping type systems have been used in aerospace, aerial
photography, submarine periscopes, flight simulation, planetarium
projection, etc. As an example, one system from the early 1970,s used a
6 mm Nikon fisheye lens in a F-111 aircraft to view wing extension
simultaneously on both sides of the aircraft while also providing star
image data. Two particularly relevant prior art references that would
appear to completely invalidate the broad IPIX patent claims include:
Ripley, D., DVI - A Digital Multimedia Technology, Communications of the
ACM, Volume 32 Number 7 (July 1989)
This paper describes an interactive computer based system that
dynamically extracts perspective corrected views from images filmed with
a Nikon 220 fisheye lens.
Lippman, A., Movie Maps: An Application of the Optical Video Disc to
Computer Graphics, Siggraph Conference Proceedings (1980)
This second paper describes an early VR system that used either a set of
4 cameras or a single donut image camera that captured the complete road
system in a small town. The viewer could travel down any of the roads in
several different seasons and see perspective corrected views. The
single camera system could use either the Nikon 6 mm f2.8 fisheye lens
or the Kern Peri Apollar lens to record a full 360 degree horizontal
view.
Ripley (the author of the 1st paper) is a principle of Infinite Pictures
that was sued by IPIX for patent infringment and lost with a million
dollar judgement against him. To this day, I don't understand why, as
both of these papers clearly describe prior art of undistorting fisheye
images to extract "perspective corrected" views, etc.
I find IPIX's actions to be far more infuriating and monopolostic than anything that Micro$oft has ever done... These people are basically saying that the only way you are going to use 360 images on the web is if you use their software and pay their fees.
Prior-Art exists for the patents that they are trying to enforce... someone should step in (EFF? O'Reilly?) and challenge these patents.
ICANN had a chance to organize the web in an intuitive way, and we get these?!? I really feel that ICANN has screwed us all over. The Usenet naming system has evolved over the years into something that is easily understood (although sometimes abused) and information can be easily found. The Usenet style.comp,.rec,.soc,.sci and.alt allow the user to easily find the information that they seek.
I guess what it really boils down to is a company (RegistryPro) actually has the vision, but knowing that they only have a chance at *one* TLD, have decided to have them all as sub-domains of.pro...
But couldn't they have picked something better???
Who else here feels that this system should be totally redesigned from the ground up? An easy, flexible system.
For the first compile of the software, just do it in VMWare... after the ProgID's have been set just delete the VM and it no longer exists.
I'm not too sure as to how GUID's are generated, but if I remeber correctly, the only machine-specific part is the MAC address. If you can decode the MAC address from the GUID, it would point to a VMWare machine, but not one in particular.
It sounds like your Cablemodem is exerting backpressure on your ethernet port. Go out and buy a cheap 10/100 switch, and everything will be back to normal.
Backpressure is a method used by switches, bridges cablemodems etc. to slow the client's (your PC) transfer rate. In your case, the cablemodem is flooding your ether segment with frames to limit the traffic to 500Kbps. (or whatever it is capped at) A switch will limit the amount of traffic that the cablemodem sees to only the actual Internet traffic, and should make your cablemodem happier. (and you too!)

Shortly after publishing the bulletin, we learned of a new, separate vulnerability that increased the threat to users of these products. We updated the bulletin later on April 14, 2000, to advise customers of the new vulnerability, and noted that we would provide additional details when known. On April 17, 2000, we updated the bulletin again to provide those details.
A procedure is available to eliminate a security vulnerability that could allow a malicious user to cause a web server to crash, or potentially run arbitrary code on the server, if certain permissions have been changed from their default settings to inappropriate ones. Although this bulletin has been updated several times as the investigation of this issue has progressed, the remediation steps have always remained the same - customers running affected web servers should delete the affected file, Dvwssr.dll. Customers who have done this at any point in the past do not need to take any further action.
Frequently asked questions regarding this vulnerability and the procedure can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bullet in/fq00-025.asp
Issue ===== Dvwssr.dll is a server-side component used to support the Link View feature in Visual Interdev 1.0. However, it contains an unchecked buffer. If overrun with random data, it could be used to cause an affected server to crash, or could allow arbitrary code to run on the server in a System context.
By default, the affected component, Dvwssr.dll, resides in a folder whose permissions only allow web authors to execute it. Under these conditions, only a person with web author privileges could exploit the vulnerability - but a web author already has the ability to upload and execute code of his choice, so this case represents little additional threat. However, if the permissions on the folder were set inappropriately, or the.dll were copied to a folder with lower permissions, it could be possible for other users to execute the component and exploit the vulnerability.
Affected Software Versions ========================== The affected component is part of Visual Interdev 1.0. However, it is a server-side component, and is included in the following products: - Microsoft(r) Windows NT(r) 4.0 Option Pack, which is the primary distribution mechanism for Internet Information Server 4.0 - Personal Web Server 4.0, which ships as part of Windows(r) 95 and 98 - Front Page 98 Server Extensions, which ships as part of Front Page 98.
NOTE: 1. Windows 2000 is not affected by this vulnerability. Upgrading from an affected Windows NT 4.0 to Windows 2000 removes the vulnerability. 2. Installing Office 2000 Server Extensions on an affected server removes this vulnerability. 3. Installing FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions on an affected server removes this vulnerability.
Remediation =========== To eliminate this vulnerability, customers who are hosting web sites using any of the affected products should delete all copies of the file Dvwssr.dll from their servers. The FAQ provides step-by-step instructions for doing this. The only functionality lost by deleting the file is the ability to generate link views of.asp pages using Visual Interdev 1.0.
