But! Could many small fans really fill that area more completely though? Sure, if all you had to worry about was the fans themselves, but you're going to need support structure and connections to generators, etc. I would estimate that you'll get more coverage with one big rotor than a bunch of little ones once you take into account all the stuff that needs to go along with the rotors. Also, don't you gain efficiency when you can use one electrical generator instead of many?

Just out of curiosity, did you tell the phone company why you wanted the dry pair? Cringely makes it sound like you might have to ask for the service in a variety of ways before you get them to admit they can do it (alarm circuits, opx, etc.).

Is it really that simple? Aren't charges dropped all the time? I'm not too familiar with the whole criminal law stuff, but I thought people could be arrested and then released when a judge rules there isn't reasonable cause to hold the person for trial. I should really watch more TV, I suppose.
Anyway, I thought the general consesus here was that he can't be held accountable for doing something in Russia that is illegal in the U.S., therefore no law was broken and he is being held without cause.
I certainly didn't mean to insinuate that we should just throw open the cells and let people free willy-nilly, regardless of "moral" rights and wrongs.
I'm not sure how releasing him on bail qualifies as doing the right thing.
IMHO, doing the right thing would be dropping the charges and letting him go home.
I dunno. Sony seems more likely to me. Boatloads of cash, the evilla connection, and I've always had the impression that the BeOS is more popular in Japan than it is in the West.
I'm no expert, but I'm not sure you can say absolutely that there are more appropriate languages than Python when it comes to doing oo work. Bruce Eckel is probably an expert though. Here's an interview:
http://www.technetcast.com/tnc_stream.html?strea m_ id=466
I don't think so. Different languages do the same things in different ways, and learning new languages can broaden the way you think about solving problems.
As long as those unsung (and often sung) heroes go on developing new languages, I'll eagerly try to learn about at least some of them.
But who cares about responses? SETI isn't about responses, right?
All you need is to observe a signal that seems to have an 'intelligent' source. I've started to believe that either we are in the lead as far as technology goes (which seems unlikely, considering the apparent size and age of the universe), or there's nobody else out there to talk to. That's when I'm not feeling optimistic. When I'm feeling optimistic, I tell myself that another intelligent 'entity' wouldn't necessarily pass through a technological stage where there communications signals get shot out into space like ours did, or that given the size and age of the universe, any other intelligent entity would be significantly advanced beyond us to prevent our detection of it until it wanted us to detect it.
I've whipped up some managed code with Python, so there's more than 3 out there, with more on the way. It'll just be another tool. Similar hype with Java, right?
Here's why I think Be doesn't want to open BeOS at this time (it has been discussed at Be, apparently, so it might happen in the future): the big push for them is going to be the BeIA - that's the moneymaker for them. The core of the BeIA is the same (for the most part) as the core of the BeOS. If you open up the BeOS, you've basically just given anyone with the time and skill the ability to duplicate your BeIA. Be probably fears this. I can understand, I guess. I hope that Be keeps using the BeOS to develop BeIA, and that new BeIA features/functionality gets released to the BeOS users. Maybe once Be has a strong enough market position they'll realize that by opening things up said things will actually improve.
An argument I once read that I bought into went something like this: The reason laws are written in legal terms is so they _can_ be understood, not so they can't. You need your laws written in precise language so they can be applied. Any case involving a law written in layman's terms would end up as a big argument in semantics (e.g. "that's not how I define 'sexual relations'"). IMHO the real problem is that there are too many laws, not that they're written using precise legal terms.

There I go again, believing things I read.:) I hadn't considered the size of the ethernet frame, but then again, I'm not the type of guy that has the knowledge to consider things like that. The reasoning not to just ping flood them from the rooted box is apparently this (from that link): If the attack computer sends 4000 40-byte trigger packets per second (bit rate less than 1.3 Mbps), the slave will send 4000 1500-byte packets to the target (bit rate 48 Mbps).
The target organization (or organizations) is cut off from the Internet because it's connection, a 1.5 Mbps (million bit per second) T-1 or a 45 Mbps DS-3 digital line is swamped with ICMP packets from forty different sources. Note that 30 different T-1 connections could be swamped by varying the return addresses in the trigger packets).
Does this make sense? I'm no guru (or neophyte, for that matter), but it sounds like you're saying this guy's "byte amplification" is a load of hooey because the ethernet frame for the little trigger packet is still 1500 bytes, so you're using up your bandwidth whether or not you fill up the frame. (wonderful feeling to knowingly display a lack of knowledge on/.;)) I'd agree that this seems like an odd method to launch a DoS attack. Except that it's kind of cool (if it's true).
If you go to www.bedepot.com you can buy the BeOS. Therefor I concluded that they are selling a product. As for their marketing practices or business plan, I'm in no position to comment.
As far as my experience with the company goes, they do support the product. I've received several updates, which included new drivers for hardware that was previously unsupported. While there may not be shelves full of software for the BeOS, there's some out there and it appears that there is more on the way.
Now, although their IPO was not a smashing success, I believe it did generate the cash they wanted. Now they just need to utilize that cash to impress other investors and drive their value up.
My main point was that I didn't think an IPO needed to rocket to amazing prices immediately to be considered worthwhile.
Like a stone? BeOS at yahoo finace And what exactly does non-productive mean? They are selling a product, after all. (Ok, so maybe not selling like gangbusters).
I'm no investor, so this is probably a naive comment, but does an IPO have to be wildly successful to be considered successful at all? I thought the whole point was to get some cash on hand to use to grow the business. If people think the business will really take off and they want a piece of it, the price should shoot up. But if people are cautious, shouldn't you see a mediocre response? The company still gets some cash so it can get on with convincing people why it's a good investment. Does a mediocre IPO mean you should just turn off the lights, last one out lock the door?
According to JLG there's about 100k of us. I just don't think that's enough of a user-base to justify the cost of the port. I'm not sure you could count on even 1 in 10 of that 100k buying the game. Also, hw accelerated 3d isn't all there yet. Next year, things will be different!

Well, if it's not a hoax, the guy's site has some info pertaining to these questions.

1) In his experiments, only macs running OS9 responded to the scans he ran. Easy way to gather a pretty big list.
2) a 40 byte trigger packet results in a 1500 byte response, so you get a nifty little bandwidth multiplier there.
