TCP/IP IS the internet you stupid ass
the web uses a tcp port in the tcp/ip protocol, so you can't have it the web first, then tcp/ip
get it right dumbass
but since the internet is well.. the internet, and gov't organization's move ever so slowly wouldn't the hackers (crackers) have a field day with this ? think of all the havoc we could wreak with this... the fbi probably wont know we've broken into carnivore and sending them randomized messages or what not...
Celera's just giving this info away to appease everybody else and take attention away from them competing with the Human Genome Project which they will complete 4 to 5 years before. Do you think their going to give that kind of info away ? Bullshit.
What /. Actually meant: "Is Slashdot Dead" ?

Is Usenet Dying?

"RobLimosAss writes The Poo Post has this interesting article on the status of usenet. It talks about the decreasing number of people using it and at the same time the increasing amount of irrelavent FUD posts being made. Overall an interesting look at how much slashdot sucks now. My personal experience at making my ass shut up by shitting just really doesn't work any more RobLimo says."
Usenet's just about dead as the PC and books. Why was this even posted ?
But/. isn't hanging on every word Andy Grove says are they ? Or what about new chip developments within Intel? Compaq DEC's ? AMD ? Cyrix ? Sparc's ? Well ?
Transmeta probably knew their chip would be vaporware since they wouldn't easily be able to get marketshare out of the intel/amd camp, no matter HOW good their chip is. Microsoft showed that Marketing muscle beats technological superiority all the time.
So, they said, "Hey Linus, we'll pay you xxx dollars to jump on board and sell out !".. probably not something like that but close enough, and its not like he's some AMAZING coder anyway, hell I think Carmack is a better coder imho. And Linus isn't as rabid as RMS is at open-source zealotry so why are you ppl thinking he's some God ?
Is it just me or does anybody think that Transmeta is using Linux+Linus as a way to sell their chips?
I mean think about it, for a start-up chip company,/. already has its own ICON for news regarding it -- odd there aren't special icons for say intel or cyrix ?
Call this Trolling, or Flamebait or whatever, but it seems that if Linus put his 'Thumbs Up' in a box filled with shit,/. and the rest of the rabid Linux users will think its caviar.
Yadda yadda yadda, no I'm not pro-MS, and I have nothing against the crusoe cpu, just think at how easily you folks are manipulated.
After checking out all these other posts on saying how arcade games are dead and how their not 'works of art' (?) I just have to say that all you people need to pull that pickle out of your asses.
Imho, Arcade games are a lot more fun nowadays, and there are a lot of new ideas coming out from the industry. God knows how much money's I've spent on Dance Dance Revolution, and that DrumMania game.. so sue me, its F U N to play.
Not only that, but lately, the racing sims have gotten nothing but INCREDIBLE lately. Have you seen F355 Challeng ? Or Racing Jam II ?? Sega Rally 2 ?
If you don't have any of those games then I pretty much pity you then, your missing out on a lot of fun -- mind you if all you get is crap like Area 51 by Atari -- then I can see where' your coming from.

Is it just me or was that ending when Keanu did the very cheap, Superman-esque launch toward the screen just ruin a pretty good movie. How the hell did that get in there ?
One of the things I hate about the world is stereotyping. Everybody and their sister seems to think people fit into catagories, like kiddie blocks, we're supposed to fit into square pegs. This is not true, especially not anymore.
Firstly, the image that "Computers == Geeks || Nerds || Dorks" does not apply anymore. Everybody is on the internet, and everybody has (or to the very least) wants a computer. All that crap you see in the movies of jocks beating up on computer dorks saying 'Go watch your star trek and play with your computer dork' just isn't true, and most likely, that same jock will be making fun of the same person over icq or irc.
Now with the article's point, I have to bite at it for personal reasons. I fit the above description of a coder who sometimes works looooong hours too meet a deadline or just because I'm in the 'mood' for coding whena all my ideas are just coming out one after the other and sleep can wait till later.
Just as an example from something that happened personally, during my first year in university, I had the pleasure of meeting a lot of new people. At one time, one person asked me what I do for work.. I told him 'contract programming', he replies with disbelief 'You ? Really ? Like Computer Geek Stuff ?'.
But what people don't get is that coders and techies don't need to to be skinny, pale, with ugly glasses and bad posture. I'm know I'm not, want an example ? Take Linus Torvalds. I like to think I have good social skills since I have quite a lot of friends, I go clubbing and raving as often as I can. And I love the wimmen : )
And I don't feel as if I'm an exception either. A lot people whom I've met who typically ten or twenty years ago would have nothing to do with computers or networking, or even linux in general are nowadays wanting to learn about that 'stuff'.
People should really stop stereotyping, its just a bad thing and will get you into trouble later on. So the next time you see that jock in high school that bugged you all the time, be carefull cause he might be able to code circles in ASM around ya ; )
Not trying to start a flame, but what is with all this hostility for VMWare coming from ?
So what, they made a product and want are asking you to pay for their work, oh no.. how could those sons of bitches do that to us ?? Don't they know GIVING away their software is better !!
And don't give me this Its closed, therefore the alternative 'open-souce' is much much better
Bullshit
Open-Source doesn't work all the time, look at Mozilla... need I say more ?
So stop being cheap for christsakes, and P A Y for the products your enjoying, next thing you know you'll want Q3A to be open-source and FREE.
my guess is we probably could not.. and if we do, the habitat we would be in would most likely have artificial gravity.
If we are to do anything with Jupiter however, we most likely will have orbital platforms administrating the processing of the gases on the planet via robotic machinery.
>Unfortunatly I think that faster than light travel will never exist. (I HOPE it will, but I doubt it.)
It'll be impossible to even reach close to the speed of light, and I'm not saying this in a ignorant - type of way (like we'll never fly).
In order to reach the speed of light, you begin to need an infinte amount of energy to propell the object, however the closer you get, your mass will increase infinitely at the same time, this of course taken from the Theory of Relativity.
So light-speed travel is, in essence impossible, what IS possible is warping, and it is really the only way to get around I'm guessing.
I once saw a show on TLC which was explaining that black matter was porous, and people are looking into a way to expand that to create a 'worm-hole' to get from A to B, anybody know more on that ?
With evolution and the type of enviroment, you never know -- life-forms may develop exoskeletons, or possibly multiple skeltal systems (like the Klingons : P they got 3). In any case, gravity should not be a big issue since its not the deciding factor anyways.
Leno had a joke on how bad Russia's Economy is, but I forgot what it was.
In any case, LOTS of people in service for the Russian government have not been paid yet, just cuz your a Democracy doesn't mean everything's all right...
Sometimes I miss the cold war, things were a lot simpler back then.. survive or die.
Bullshit, the "Monster" bomb that was detonated over Northern Russia was a 60Mton bomb, it was a scaled down version of their 100Mton bomb. The reason why it was scaled down was because if they had detonated it, the shockwave might have reached nearby cities.
My laptop's a reall old 486 running dos/win3.1 : P (linux won't boot), but wow.. project guttenburg saved me a ton of money on not buying books that i wouldn't use ever again.. plus its less of a load to carry..
Maybe they should start posting posters across campuses and such.. eh ?
no, afiak... it means u can program the chip to adapt itself to be as efficient as possible to the given task.. playing quake.. let it do just fp number crunching... etc etc
Slashdot Mirror
Don't expect this to be the last lawsuit either - you know that once people smell an easy target, those things multiply
hahahaha how true, god i love america, i'm going to sue the RIAA myself actually
but seriously, nobody really gives a flying fuck about the RIAA, and that's going to be one bloody lawsuit
