This is most assuredly NOT true. There is no reason to link at compile time when you can at runtime, so no one does, with the exception of executables in/bin and/sbin.
Unless you are writing a program to be as secure as possible and you are paranoid that somebody can substitute the shared libraries for trojaned copies.
Bit was OK, but the problem I had with it was that it had three states. It had the 'yes' and 'no', but it also had a kind of 'neutral' state as well. Maybe it hung around Flynn because it was actually from an early prototype trinary computer and was lost?
Blocking all of Asia wouldn't have helped. The article (go and read it) says that the provider/hosting company was based in the US. It's possible, even likely, that the people in Singapore at the magazine didn't have anything to do with setting up the mail server.
He never said it was a server (although it may have been). It could have been a workstation that needs fast drive access. There are probably a number of uses for this, the one that immediately comes to mind is video capture. Video capture needs huge amounts of space, and very high sustained write throughput.
I get spam to email addresses that I have NEVER posted ANYWHERE. My ISP owns multiple domains, email sent to my name @ any of those domains comes to me. They take the domain name, combine it with a list of names, and spam the list. Some of them will be real addresses, some not. Often I get the same spam 2 or 3 times, sent to different addresses (but delivered to the same mailbox).
I used a spam bouncing program for a while to generate fake 'undeliverable' messages, and that helped a little bit. I stopped a few months ago, and it's starting to build up again.
I think the word 'vorbis' sounds pretty cool though, and that is the name of the audio codec. Other multimedia codecs will be given other 'ogg xxxx' names. Check the OGG Homepage here
There have been a number of people working on 'free energy' for some time, and some have had a good degree of success. Check out http://www.nexusmagazine.com/freeenergy.html for a summary of some of them, and some links.
And this 'three laws' thing? How many other laws of science have been revised, updated or completely discarded after new discoveries were made? How about the phlygisten theory? Earth is the center of the universe? The single shooter theory? Perhaps these laws of thermodynamics are only valid within a particular context, and the free energy comes from outside that context?
Equivalence (who host OpenH323) have a program called 'phonepatch' that sits on the firewall and proxies the connection for you. Don't know the current status, but I used it for a short while (demo) a couple of years ago, running NetMeeting inside the firewall complete with NAT, and it worked fine.
If you set it up properly with a directory (LDAP) it can even handle inbound connection requests by asking who you want to talk to and then forwarding the connection request to that users workstation.
If you have a Checkpoint FW-1 firewall, it supports H.323 with NAT, on outbound connections only of course. Don't know about other FW software.
I saw a late nite show here in Australia some time ago where a chess grand-master was being interviewed, and the host jokingly brought up the steroid issue. The chess guy said 'Actually, I *AM* on steroids'. He was asthmatic, and his medication contained substances banned in most sports.
I'm pretty sure they wouldn't consider it 'performance enhancing' for CHESS, though.
Although they get bagged alot by conventional science, there are many people researching into free energy, some with some success. There is some information on the Adam's Pulsed Motor/Generator and other devices on Aethmogen. There is also some information on Leading Edge Research and many other places.
Most of this research is patented, although they are often pretty open with designs and help on building the devices
Can you sue Microsoft when their software breaks? Check the license agreement carefully, and you'll see words like 'provided as is, with no warranty' and 'not responsible for any loss or damages' blah blah.
The real question is 'where can we get support', and plenty of companies are stepping in there.
Take a look here. These people make a firewire tape drive, which you might be able to use to grab the video data directly using OS utilities to catch it at whatever speed your system can keep up with. You should contact them to make sure though.
Found this in on a list of firewire products on the Apple website. Looks like it may only support Apple Macs though. Again, check with the vendor.
I am not absolutely certain if this example pre-dates the patent date, but the Oracle database engine has a special date format, where you put in 'RR' instead of 'YY' when you format dates. It then windows the date around 1950/2049 (I think).
I remember using this on a project a number of years ago - I'm pretty sure it was before 10/1996. Even if it wasn't, it was close to then, and the people at Oracle must have been planning it for a while before release. If that was even the first oracle db release to use it.
What they fear is having to support multiple platforms. Remember the old days when a game came out on PC, Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64, etc.? This meant extra work for the developers, and usually more bugs introduced with the ports. When you support only windows, you have lower overheads.
It would be even more interesting to have a comparison with figures plotting the usage of fetchmail. This is of course impossible, but would probably give figures that would make people upset about the linear growth in the graph feel better.
Whilst I am not an expert in any of the science involved here, doesn't the instruction "probably red, but could be green" immediately make people search the red block first in detail and then the green one? Would this not influence the results?

and it has only 640K of memory.
(I don't know what it has really, but I have no doubt someone will correct me).

Solving factoring wins a Nobel Prize? Is that why it's called NP-complete?

I see your point, and I have to agree.

Maybe optusnet should try and do a better job at bringing joustice to spam throwers
Yes, I agree that skewering spammers with long pointy sticks is a great idea.

And in Australia (probably elsewhere too) there are always a couple of scrutineers watching over the shoulder of the counter.
