PPPoE is in the 2.3 series, so I imagine it will be in the 2.4 series. Right now, building there are kernel patches to get it to work, which seem to give the least overhead, and there are a few userspace apps. You can find almost everything that's available here. (The one by David Skoll is apparently the best userspace app.)
Bad analogy alert - the kid should have learned to open the door through 'common sense' as you started before. If the teacher had a far side with a kid with an F and thought it was funny then yeah you would have made a point.
Actually, I remember that particular strip. The reason it's funny is because there's a sign on the school that says "School For the Gifted." So yah, his analogy is dead-on.
Yes, I agree that evolution could probably overcome this, but I'm wondering *right now* if we could somehow set foot on Jupiter (while inside a biosphere of some sort) would the gravity be too much for us. After thinging about it more, I'm guessing if it didn't kill us outright, it would dramatically shorten our lifespan.
I have no doubts that even if the air were breathable, we would never be able to withstand the sheer pressure (or could we adapt to it eventually? I imagine not without extreme headaches, to say the least). But can the human body withstand that strength of gravity? I don't even know if we could stand in it, let alone that falling down would probably cause you to break about half of your bones. Anyone? I've always wondered that about Jupiter-sized planets.
Still, I think it's a Good Thing you did this. Sometimes Marketing/Lawyer drones don't understand anything else. Kinda like the dog in Simpsons. "blah blah blahSIT!" "blah blah blahLAWSUIT!"
Maybe they'll *read* the GPL this time. Who knows?:)
This kind of reminds me of The Avro Arrow, a completely Canadian-made jet built in the late 1950's that could totally outperform anything the U.S. had built. It got shut down however, due to politics. I don't think the U.S. liked us having something that much better.:)
In the future, things will be even more secure than they are now. If anything, it's PHBs that are holding back encryption, simply because they don't understand it. Having things 'online' is in itself still relatively new. Back in the 80's you could hack most places simply by dialing in! They didn't see the need for things like passwords, etc. Why, back when Bellsouth was first discovering major hacks done to it's system, they couldn't understand that people would want to abuse their system like that. It was all wide open then. In the future, things will be more like "Gee grandpa, you mean most of your transmissions were done in plaintext?" and "JETSON! Stop using such a fraggin weak encryption! I don't care if it's just an email to your hottie wife!"
Now, before Monday, I largely had no idea about who JP was. I'd never heard of Anti-Online, had been to attrition.org a handful of times, and also never heard of PacketStorm. Reading his responses reminds me of a joke a comedian made about "The Incredible Hulk" tv show, where he talks about how David Banner gets into a fight in every town he goes to. He said,"If that were me, by like the thrid episode, I'd be thinking,'Maybe it isn't everbody else.'"
Basically, knowing nothing about JP, Ken Williams, or Brian Martin, or anyone else really involved in this, with the furvor that he attacks Ken and Brian, it seems to me pretty clear who the potential jerk is here. That's not to say he's technically right or wrong in some cases. But he's sure not going about this in the nicest of ways.
Why is this always a concern of people? Yes, the Russians have some bitterly old computers and software hooked up to their system. But I bet if it's buggy, the last thing those bugs would do would be to fire the nukes. I don't know about anyone else, but if I'm using old/crappy tech, say modem and term program, and it crashes, I've never seen it crash by accidentally dialing out and establishing a solid connection somewhere. If anything, the fact that their software is non-y2k compliant could very well mean their computer network may never boot again after y2k. Although I do think y2k is mostly overhype, their systems will probably work the same, regardless.
I don't have any hard facts to confirm this either, but I've had my two systems (AMD 133 o/c'd to 166MHz, and a celery 366 up to 458MHz) since February, w/ no problems. It's my understanding that you have nothing to worry about unless there's heat in excess of 60C(140F). I could be wrong here. Basically, I say those numbers, because I've heard that some(older) AMD chips run that hot out of the box. Buying your own thermometer to measure the heat on the chips would be a good idea.
As far as just leaving them on 24/7, I also remember hearing that turning your computer on is about the worst thing you can do to it (cycling power spikes, etc), so leaving it on instead of turning it on/off everyday or several times a day is actually much better for it.
Maybe there will be a line of oh, say, four machines, hooked together in some type of beowulf cluster. Your Coke comes out 4x as fast, in four canisters 1/4th the size of the original cans, which you have to go around to the different machines to collect.
I don't think the UN would damn an entire country, or even an entire city to wipe out one man. You're forgetting that their troops are often not allowed to fire upon others, even when they're being fired upon. I won't even get into the environmental damage that this would do, which they would never go for.
Warden spent the bulk of his time arguing that Microsoft does not have a monopoly, saying that any one of many new technologies, from the rival Linux operating system to Internet-based software applications, could quickly threaten the dominance of Windows.
As my one friend put it, "We're not a monopoly, but anyone can threaten our dominance. Bu we're not a monopoly." Makes me sick.
Sorry about the name-calling, etc.

I guess he may have come to the conclusion that he couldn't accomplish what he wanted without the use of tranquilizers.
As far as limb manipulation, as I said before, I'm sure his joints were wracked pretty hard with the previous testing. As for the new suit and it's 'class 10'(what type of system is that?) rating, well, no one can know how 100% how this thing will fare against a grizzly attack until it actually happens. Most grizzly attacks tend to be a mauling, and a bat to the head/torso (which can easily remove said head). Bears aren't too much into wrestling and figure-4 leglocks last time I checked.:) But like I said, the only real proof of any of this will be when it happens.
Read the damn article, idiot.

1 - He has no mobility whatsoever in that suit. He can hardly walk, and forget about standing up after falling down. If the bear moves while he is in there, he will be trapped.
If you read the article, you'd know he has no intention of entering the bear's den.
If the bear grabs his arm, and pulls it around his back or up and over his head, there is one broken arm right there.
Okay, I'll give you this one, because you haven't seen the suit in action. But if you had, his limbs are restricted to their natural range of motion. Don't you think that the force of being hit by a truck at 30m.p.h. would've broken something, or the 300lb. log, or perhaps the 150 ft. escarpment? If you see this in action, you'd understand. I mean, I watched Penn (or is it Teller? It was the big guy of the two) unwind on him *full tilt* with a baseball bat, that suit is so damn bulky, he doesn't even *flinch.* You'd think he was hitting him with a foam bat. Troy's my hero.:)

What is that? Approximately 9 lifetimes? I remember reading once that the average person walks 11 million miles in their lifetime.

...before we can plug lawyers into a Doom interface, and take out the bad ones? :) Maybe we could do this with patents?

a book on how to do it.
this should be a book.
Maybe there will be a line of oh, say, four machines, hooked together in some type of beowulf cluster. Your Coke comes out 4x as fast, in four canisters 1/4th the size of the original cans, which you have to go around to the different machines to collect.
They drop you right off at hotbot.com, no questions asked. Weirdness.
That's a joke-subject that's been mentioned here before, but seriously, how long before this actually happens?
