Just imagine if your body and mind were connected to the internet and someone hacked your mind and decided to "play quake" with you...or just made you dance a jig in the middle of a meeting.
Since I cant get ADSL yet...

I told my friend that im going to get a 3 mile long lan cable and hook up to him!
I wonder how much this will cost, where i am, ADSL base speed (384 kb/s down,96 kb/s up) is 29.95/month.
The advent of the information age will lead to advances in other areas of technology. Software could lead to new ideas and ways of thinking and design that could uncover a way of making/doing something that we as a civilization would not have seen otherwise.
Ok, I went through this and i seen this: _______________________________________________
It will involve only students who give cause for special concern, school and law-enforcement officials emphasize. "We certainly wouldn't want to develop any kind of tool for labeling students in any way," Vita said. _______________________________________________
So, let me get this straight, were not labeling kids, but if you look like you may cause trouble, you get the test.
The theory of this would work, but communism also works in theory...
If you think about it, the students that committed the Columbine incident were of above average intelligence. That being true, whos to say that they dont see through the test like its made of glass.
Then on the other hand, think of stupid people, they will probably do something like:
Q: If you had a gun in school, what would you do? A: Um, duh, kill people yeah, thats right...
****WARNING**** POLICE HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED! Stay where you are so we may take you into custody.
The entire idea is flawed. It allows the people with a bit of smarts to lie their way through if they have to...and the quietly violent people are the ones this is trying to detect?
First off, wasnt it Deeper Blue that beat Kasparov? He clobbered the original Deep Blue.
Sure deeper blue won, IBM put millions into making the computer and programming it, for one match. Then if i remember right, they dismantled it. They may have realized that their machine got lucky and didnt want to risk a second chance.
Why not have it send emails containing the triggerwords to a server somewhere where they are deleted immediately. From what I understand, Echelon will intercept communication en route, so it doesnt need to be stored. Then, instead of slinging away, possibly code the client to send the email every, oh, say half hour? But send a bunch at a time.
I dont know if this makes sense or is feasible, but just imagine if the/. effect was unleashed upon Echelon...
Why would the government build a spy network, only to leave it unable to withstand this? Odds are that Echelon, if it even exists, probably has a failsafe or something just in case. At the most, what would J.E.D. do, make them reboot their machine?
An idea would be interesting to see is like with distributed.net, only slinging triggerwords around. With that kind of speed, the only problem is that people like me with a very crappy connection would be eating all their bandwidth up.
If anyone has comments on that, id love to hear them.
i noticed that there are alot of flames and people acting like idiots in this area. i posted once there thinking that it would be the only troll/flame there. to my suprise, when i come back tomorrow, theres a ton of bait/flames.
i use windows, dont like it, but i refuse to go bantering about it.
what might be of some help is presenting _some_ form if identification, be it an email available only to the admins or ip tagged messages.
i dont know how much sense this is going to make to anyone else, to be honest, i dont even know if this is going to make it up because internet explorer crashed while i was typing this. (no joke)
they should have this information burned into their brains.
i just do dopey little stuff when i program, but when i finally show it to someone, its a matter of pride in my abilities and knowledge. if i was to release a program that had errors in it, i would look bad. most software companies should allow the time for extensive beta testing and to let the programmers pour through the code.
this is also where open source would help out tons. if you had to release the source, you would:
1)have a MASSIVE base of programmers that could be working on it. 2)you'd be more likely to fix errors before releasing it. if M$ released win9x source code, it would probably be more humorous than informative. 3)there would be more healthy competition because the company who has the best code with the fewest errors is most likely to get the most customers.
they could have realized that they would get their butts handed to them, so they quit. the gov't is not one to want to take a slap to the face from suing an individual.

mid speed (784 kb/s down, 384 kb/s up) is $39.95/month+isp costs
max speed (1.5 meg/s down, 784 kb/s up) is $150+isp costs
I could imagine where the localtelco will just go with a little math on this and screw people over:
VDSL (not sure on the math here):
7.5 megs/sec?
i would guess about $800/month
pure speculation, you may check my numbers but dont harass me about them if theyre wrong, dont show this to the phone companies.

Ok, the rebuttal says their not doing that..
Interactive experiences?
Hopefully, next time I walk up to a coke machine, ill be able to play quake as well! Now that would be what I call an interactive vending machine!
Blast the thing with liquid nitro, make it extremely cold, then, what do you know...Coke is paying you to take Cokes out of the machine!

I wonder if the /. effect would be considered a denial of service attack?

im a teen myself, this is just stupid.
thats all there is to say about it
they mention use as a credit card. personally, i dont favor the idea of broadcasting a credit card number over the airwaves.
just think if microsoft got in on this, all those M$ Car crashing everyday jokes...
really, your system must be very poorly set up then!
i run q3test on a gateway model G6-333, 333PII, 128 megs ram, velocity riva 128 chipset with 4 megs of ram on the card.
it runs so great!
i cant WAIT for q3 to come out!

dude, i dont know what your problem is, but i bet its hard to pronounce.
who here would never be caught dead at the M$ trade in thing?
i think it would be funny if someone went up there with about 1000 copies of windows and wanted licenses for all them.
if im hyper, i will listen to some techno thats about 180bpm.
if i am about asleep, i use metal thats emphasized on bass.
if im "normal", anything goes
if i should see little midgets riding llamas, i think i should listen to something to put me asleep...
from the doj page:
"Hacking can get you in a whole lot more trouble than you think and is a completely creepy thing to do."
creepy?
wtf?
"There is no such thing as a bug-free program. Windows NT is no exception"
thanks M$, I couldnt have said it better myself!
}:~)
so people can read other peoples spam and look at at all their porno... after all, this IS aol we are talking about...
i took a couple out today...
oh well, to me, every day is "nail a spammer day"!
at least i have something to look forward to doing tomorrow.

thus ends my rant.
what can i say, i just love that game!
