As someone stated in the earlier article, the stone objects has been in the water for 2000 years, and when they come in contact with air, they will rapidly crumble. They have to desalinate them if they want to bring it up to the surface.
Tags feature, which is similar to a Smart Tag feature in the new Office XP, will be turned off by default in the final release, and that users will have to consciously choose to enable it by activating a setting buried in the browser's menus.
They are not altering anything without the users permission. But what we rather should worry about, is the 75% of the webusers who actually may want to use it for easier browsing. Most of them will not know, or do not care if the sites are Microsoft-influenced. After all, they probably use almost only Microsoft-products already, and this will misguide them even more.
Remember that it is the lesser knowledgeable (in terms of internet) who use most of the web.
In my city, we have 4 different garbage-cans for 4 different kinds of trash. Roughly translated, this is:
Left-overs (traditional garbage)
Environmental (plastics, glass, metal etc.)
Paper
Toxic (a smaller can)
When all households has the 3 big cans standing out to all times, there gets many garbagecans around. Actually this destroys much of the view. Imagine looking at a little road with 5 small houses on each side, and a total of 30 garbagecans!
But on the good side: It works. The only strange thing is that they have no sorting for biological garbage, trash that rottens to earth. Because that is the most usual garbagesorting at other places.
Well, if now they could only fix the high-traffic dust in the middle of the town:-\
Why use Alphagrip, when you can just reprogram your old nice Lego Mindstorms RCX? Hell, why not program a couple RCX's to type letters according to how you step on them!
...then you have your arms free for another keyboard, so you efficiently can control two consoles at one time!
It seems like this thing has 'bout half of the letters on the thumb-side, and the other half of the alfabet on the backside.
But what about characters not used in the english alfabet? In Norway we have æ, ø, å, and most non-english languages has at least two-three special letters.
As far as I know, there are great needs for IT-folks in the mediterranian countries (Spain, Italy, Greece etc.) Though the general public are not very skilled in english. But in most european countries they are.
I don't know about the EU-regulations, I live outside the EU, in Norway. But I know several americans working here, and the biggest problems they have, is actually the american system/papermill, that can give a lot of work sometimes (election, passports etc.).
Southern and eastern countries are cheap, while northern western countries are expensive. In comparision with Norway, USA is cheap. But your salary will match the prices, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Most things in Europe varies a lot from country to country. So ignore all those comments: "I know how it's in Europe, because I've been in ". Ex: Two countries in Europe, may be more different than USA and Mexico.
If you've could have got that as a 4-node cluster, and omitting the switch (I already have some 3coms), I'd maybe actually scrape enough money to buy one 8-)
... or maybe I should actually buy some christmas gifts this year...
If I remember right, Microsoft had the record for a time, after releasing Windows 95. Then it was set by a big bunch of servers, not one single. This traffic lasted for several days. I don't remember how much it was.
Later, when cdrom.com moved their server, they copyed all the data over a 100Mbit connection and got the new record. I don't remember how much this was, either.
I haven't heard of anybody breaking this record before now.
Wasn't somebody having a contest with $$$ to the first person to find a prime number with one million digits or something?
They don't know for sure if it will work...

The article says if it works. And the computer to use this new calculation hasn't been built yet, so no need to worry. But the article also stated that this machine would be cheap to build, so it would be exciting to see what it gets to:) 1024-bit keys will still be considered secure for some time, though. So our privacy is not yet threatened:)
ftp.cdrom.com has upgraded from 1Gb to 2Gb RAM, not disk...
A processor with a 32-bit address-bus should technically could address 2^32 bytes of memory (4 Gb). But Linux won't do more than 2Gb or so on a 32-bit processor. Rumour has it that it's because they've used signed integers, but I don't think Linus would have made such an amatour-code. Kinda of remindes me of Bill Gates: "Noone will ever need more than 640k RAM!":))
If you hear or read something, never initially assume it is correct. Afterwards you can analyze and check the credibility. Then you can see if it is more likely to be correct or incorrect/partialy correct.
Unfortunately most people blindly believe what they hear. It seems Adolf Hitler was correct in that the masses are stupid (Mein Kampf). It looks like we, the nerds and geeks, are the only ones who can prove otherwise!
I feel that I am lucky when I read what my American soulmates are going through. In my country it is illegal for the school to act as many seem to have in USA the last few days. There are also more percent geeks and nerds among the youths here, than in USA, so we aren't really outsiders, and we are also respected.
You could assume what I wrote was incorrect, so I have only my word to argue otherwise:) I have no reason to provide incorrect facts...
Redhat 5 is known to be unstable... Redhat 5.1 is far more stable after what I've heard. I use Slackware myself, and our online web/name/other-server (a 486) will soon have it's 256 day anniversary.
During it's uptime we've upgraded the webserver, added many accounts, set up mailinglists and Hypernews, added new domain, set up nameserver, installed qmail instead of sendmail, etc. etc.:)

I'm glad there are others than me that can see clear through the illusion American comersialism creates!
Don't believe it - even after you've seen it!
