I can strip copper wire with my teeth, and terminate it with a Leatherman tool. Until I can do that with fiber, my network's sticking to good old-fashioned electrons.
This obviously renders WiFi useless for any mission critical networking. Any signal that can be interfered with that easily should not be adopted by businesses.
That last line should say "Any signal can be interfered with easily." The extra words don't add much.:-)
Really though, way too many people hear wireless and think voodoo point to point portable wormhole technology or somesuch ignoring that its basically sending data by making waves in the air (okay, the nontechnical version). Whoever thought it could be trivially made secure or that someone else couldn't make the area too noisy is running off of the idea of voodoo.
Your car has an alternator. A PDA doesn't have one. The alternator keeps the car battery charged, while the PDA batteries just continue to drain with nothing to charge them.
The whats the point of filling the PDA with gasoline?
I want to see a cheap PDA (none of this useless color crap) with 8 megs RAM and a computer interface that doesn't damage the motherboard with simple software that doesn't do stupid things like use word format.
I'm dying for a useful PDA that isn't $200 and doesn't have fatal flaws. Who the ph*** wants a form of Windows running on a PDA anyways??
I think if you just want to assuredly kill your opponent in the first move you should probably attack the tree from the branches inward. That way you don't always have to render the whole tree for every little permutation out there.
AVI will not allow frames that reference future frames, hence B frames are unsupported in AVI files, and therefore MPEG 1 2 and 4 cannot be implemented in any complete sense in AVI.
AVI has a few other failings which make me sick of them.
It sounds nice and all, but where can I find any software to work with MPEG 4 now? All I can find is a bunch of wannabe formats wrapped up in AVI. And AVI can't even do MPEG 1.
Actually there are these little X10 sensor things that can send on off synced to the sun without the need for computers and computer interfaces and fancy X10 driving software and so forth.
Introducing task priorities, or whatever Linux calls them. Thats right, you can now have stuff that wants to use all available CPU run without severely impacting other stuff, unless the scheduler is whacked, or something, dude.
the engineers were chronic complainers. "I can't sit under the A/C vent, its too cold. The A/C vent is too loud. The computer fan is too loud. The ights are too bright. The lights are too dim.
What about "the lights are too loud"? I've experienced that before.
Eudora (Win and Mac)handles encoded attachments by decoding them and storing them in an attachments folder, replacing the encoded text in the mesage with a line like
NASA spent tons of cash to make a zero-G usable pen. The Russians used pencils. Duh.
Thankfully graphite is nonconductive and doesn't generate lots of tiny fragments in zero g which might float around and be breathed or infest critical switches/circuits. Otherwise the Russian space program would have been a disaster.:-)

How dare there be tempest unfriendly networks?!?!

I wonder when drums are coming back?
Isn't that technically what harddrive platter arrays are? Drums with huge cuts in them to massively increase surface area?
This is a very common need, which is unfulfilled by UNIX style permission systems.
What next?
"These permission bits aren't turing complete!!"

But if there are so many sane permutations wouldn't it be good to snip off all the dumb branches reducing the tree to the saner options?
:-)
It sounds backsomethingsswards, but surely theres some level of usefulness in it... Maybe?

Did you think that other 90% was just cushioning?
Actually that construction station in A Call to Arms was pretty cool looking. I wish we'd do something like that.
They could make a rotating doughnut shaped station with a non-rotating doughnut-hole for experimenting and docking.
This could be very cool stuff!
Took my Amiga 33 seconds from reset for it to announce "System loaded at 5:55 AM."
After another 12 seconds the backdrop appeared, but it works fine in the between time.
Ignoring the racist remarks and commiting karma suicide I just want to point out that humans in general ARE animals.
Why are humans animals? Because we aren't plants, and the only other available classification is animal.
There are better reasons too, but you'll have to probably search for a page in another TLD and likely not face men with guns in another country.

yet DVD has a lot of advantages... portability, compactness, robustness
Eh? (skritch skritch SNAP!)
More durable than a cookie maybe...
Nope, this is why I turned that fancy feature off in the first place. Spare myself THAT problem.
Eudora (Win and Mac)handles encoded attachments by decoding them and storing them in an attachments folder, replacing the encoded text in the mesage with a line like
Attachment Converted: "C:\EUDORA\ATTACH\NEW YORK.pps"
Click on that in Eudora and the attachment opens.
For the sake of portability I turn features like that off, that and it makes it harder for me to loose my attachments and manual maintenance easier.
Deleted, Formatted 8 times and written over 20 times? no problem. You're damn right that destroying the data would be a lengthy job.
If data is so resilient then I'd like to know why I can't just load up a program to triple my harddrive space with no compression.
throttle them and the commonly used P2P ports
:-)
Do you know how quickly those ports will change?

The Vorlon encounter suits are not CG, the Vorlon ships are. Be funny to drive one of those through the convention hall. :-)
