Oh, I have done so, several times. I like this software a lot better than the other ftp servers. The Makefile.sun included with vsftpd was written by me (for the Sunpro compiler, rather than gcc). The need to tweak a #define came in the latest 1.0.1 version. He hasn't released 1.0.2 so my changes haven't made it into the tarball yet.
Chris develops on Linux, and though he's pretty good at writing portable code, he doesn't have a Solaris system to test on. The #define in question is one of those "feature defines" one often finds. Linux distros come with libpcap, Solaris doesn't. That's all it is.
I use vsftpd, (vs stands for "very secure" and is a goal, not a declaration of its status). Included with the source are a number of explanatory files you are familiar with: README, INSTALL, Changelog, LICENSE. There is another you probably haven't seen: AUDIT. AUDIT lists each source code file and a rating of 1-5 to indicate how much scrutiny it has received from other competent parties. 1 indicates no scrutiny and 5 means many competent programmers have reviewed it. Most of the files are rated 2 or 3.
I think this is an excellent idea, one that should be expanded upon by other developers.
Oh, and vsftpd 1.0.1 can be obtained from this ftp site at Oxford. It's written on Linux but I run it on Solaris with just a tweak to a #define.
No, it's a story from Reuters. The attribution is clearly given in the byline. This is a common mistake made by Slashdot article writers. Think about it a second: if I saw this article about UWB on Slashdot and posted to Kuro5hin "According to Slashdot..." my attribution would be flat wrong. It is the same with stories posted to Yahoo and other news outlets. The byline gives proper credit and should be cited as the source, not the news outlet where one happened to read the story.
Calm down. This technology is much more efficient than conventional broadcast technology. Far less energy is needed to transmit a signal, which is why it can coexist with existing radio infrastructure yet cause no interference. The signal is just too weak, and there is no carrier wave at all. It presents no significant threat to radio astronomy.
It does however, present a threat to users of licensed radio bandwidth, because it eliminates the need to assign freqencies for specific uses. It can coexist with existing radio applications. The potential for competition with traditional broadcasters and spectrum users is what has Sprint, et. al. worried.
It is as if someone figured out how to piggyback signals on the PSTN without needing the cooperation of the Bells, and without any impact on existing applications of the cable plant. Only Sprint does not own the air, like the Bells own the wires.
I guess now we get to see who owns the FCC. This has been a long time coming. I first read about nano-pulse radio almost 10 years ago, when TimeDomain first began petitioning the FCC for permission to conduct tests.
On the contrary, this remedy is one that many people see as the only one that would be effective and would directly address the crimes that were committed. Microsoft abused the proprietary nature of their intellectual property, they abused their limited exclusive rights to stifle progress in the field to their own exclusive benefit rather than encourage it, as copyright is intended to do. The penalty should ensure that they cannot abuse it again. Taking away Microsoft's exclusive access to their source code would do that, and would spur new competition that was not possible before. This is exactly the remedy that the situation calls for.
Yes, you can use the Microsoft.com mail servers for this purpose. In fact, you can use any Exchange server for this purpose. They all accept mail before determining whether it can be delivered, have no capability to block recipients, and generate a new messages for the bounce, with the original attached. Perfect for all your spamming needs:

CCDs used to require nearly that much in the way of "life support" when they were first developed (well, LN temperatures, but still...). I have no reason to doubt that once the principle of doing this measurement is mastered at 1K, someone will figure out a way to do it at room temperature, probably with some different material. Give it ten years. That would be my guess.
It is not the function of the detector to perceive color, any more than it is the function of your retina to perceive color. That function is carried out by your visual cortex, whether you are perceiving the scene directly, or perceiving a representation of the scene on a display device.
Please check out superconducting tunnel junction technology, which is the basis for detectors that can measure the frequency of impinging photons. No need for separate RGB pixels - stacked or not - because each pixel can determine the exact frequency or wavelength of each photon it detects. You can take a spectrum and create an image in one exposure with one detector, without using any diffraction gratings or RGB filters.
I'd love to see BT prevail, if only for the sheer entertainment value of it. Can you imagine? Maybe this is just the sort of thing that is needed to give patent reform a kick start. But it'd be great fun to see Jeff Bezos have to pay royalties on his one-click hyperlinks. Snicker.
And that's exactly what companies might do. Instead of adapting systems to meet the state's rules, they are warning that Vermont residents may be excluded en masse from the kinds of offers and information that data sharing allows.
Ooooo, I bet they're trembling in their boots in Vermont! Who wants to miss outon all those special offers?
These people (marketers) need to get out more. They think threatening NOT to send stuff to people is... well.. a threat (giggle, chortle, snort!:). That's one of the funniest things I have ever read!
But that kid actually drives the robot pretty well. And his is the kind of robot that really needs a good driver, 'cause the weapons are just a ramrod and a wedge. For most of the robots (the Whyachi's are a notable exception) driving is 90% of what it takes to win a battle. Building the thing is the easy part.
I have no problem with someone buying a Battlebot off of eBay, anymore than I'd have a problem with someone buying a modified motocross bike and entering a rally with it.
As has been pointed out by other posters, the TiVo did not recognize that the Super Bowl went over its allotted time. The TiVo "knows" what is on by what is in the guide data, not by examining the signal that is being broadcast at the time. I am certain that every Malcolm Season Pass was recorded by TiVo as a "vote" for Malcolm, not the Super Bowl.
Who cares about those fuckers? They complain about everything.
With TiVo, you get something in exchange for agreeing to be watched. You get a service that is better tuned to your tastes. You get the TiVo watching the schedule for you to record other shows you will probably like, shows you might have otherwised missed.
What do you get in exchange for Microsoft watching your browser? What do you get in exchange for DoubleClick tracking your surfing? You get dick. That sort of thing is done for the benefit of Microsoft and DoubleClick, not for you.
That TiVo has pulled off this "perception coup" is remarkable, but then what they are offering is novel, and - dare I say it - innovative.

So long as I can get "r.us" I'll be happy. :)
Is "toys.r.us" an actionable trademark infringment? What if it's a site devoted to criticizing society's obsession with the latest technology?

As long as there's a Starbucks, sure.
The Wright Brothers (or pick your own early aviation pioneers)did not require a 15,000 man ground support crew to fly.
They flew a distance of a few dozen feet. The Moon is 250,000 miles away. Get a grip.
Lindbergh made a solo flight from the US to Paris so he could win a $25,000 prize.
I'll pay you $50,000 if you fly to the Moon solo and bring back a rock, or a handful of lunar soil.

Good. Your taste in TV probably sucks anyway. No need to pollute the ratings by noting your viewership of the 700 Club.
How's that bunker coming along?
