Pretty soon we won't be able to blink without somebody, somewhere, somehow, advertising to us.
First newspapers, magazines, television, now Internet, cell phones, pagers. Thank god faxes are exempt.
What's next, adversisement on spaceships? The moon?
And this isn't healthy. All adversisements say is BUY MY PRODUCT!, and people are going to start reacting. They won't buy, they'll go nuts. And damage will be done. Hey, if twinkies can cause murder, why not ads?
... nothing, and I mean nothing, is cooler than a woman who kicks ass.
Gender exploration, bah. If I want to do some "female exploration" I'll become a gynacologist. I, and most of the people on that survey, get off on the idea that there exists a woman who can kick their ass and snarl fiercer than they can.
No, it's not a keyboard, it's not a hardware manufacturing company, or even anything (directly) related to computers. It's a martial art, and it does wonders for wrist strength.
I've been using a dinky flat keyboard for six years, and have been training with Aikido for half that time, and believe me, the second half of those six years were the better. Though I'm not suggesting every geek join a dojo, I am suggesting that every geek with sore wrists go out and do something physically demanding which will strengthen them.
Funny looking keyboards can help reduce strain, but if you want to be rid of bad wrists, you've got to strengthen them before you weaken them any further. Aikido worked for me, find something that works for you.
Why all the "protection" against porn? Since when does pornography attack people? Since when does it force itself? Since when does porn appear when you don't want it to?
This seems to be the fundamental argument of most pro-censorship types: that pornography is somehow on the offensive. Which it isn't. Porn doesn't appear unless you try to get it. You won't encounter porn unless you're trying to.
And the lightning example is a perfect demonstration. He found the magazine on the ground yes, but then what did he do? He took it home! And when the lightning struck, that was after he had read and re-read all the words. He could have easily walked past the magazine; it didn't just hop into his hands.
If you're afraid that people will look at porn in libraries, tell them "don't look at porn in libraries". If they still do, kick them out. I'm sure the pornography will be less aggressive.
The reason South Park "scaled" so well is because the producers took a new attitude towards the movie. It wasn't just another episode of South Park: it was a sick, twisted extravaganza which actually spent 1/5 of its total production time in the Censors office, trying to get whittled down from an NC-17 rating.
But here are some reasons why I think the Simpson's can't manage a full-length movie:
This latest season has been a steady downhill ride from their usual stuff. Blantant comments by the writers? Killing of major characters? People's severed legs flying off and kicking footballs in? Does this sound like the series is on its last legs (nopunintended) to anyone else?
One major feature of a Simpson's episode is to spend the first 5 solid minutes leading up to the main plot. This idea is a real show-seller for the series, and it certainly wouldn't transfer well to a 90 minute film.
Just how many times can Homer say "do'h" in a 90 minute period before it gets passe? Double digits, easily, but still...
It takes months to make a single episode (as another Slashdotter pointed out) and the time it would take to make a movie 3 times as long as an episode would be much too long to do while the seeason is going on.
I hate to be pessimistic, but I'd hate a bad Simpson's movie even more. I mean, 10 years... to end with a crappy film would be just plain shameful.
I'm a SysAdmin newbie. I know only rudimentary UNIX. I am ignorant. I also have a constant cable modem connection.
(There, I said all the facts, so now none of you can for me.)
I want to learn how to be more secure. I don't trust MediaOne to protect me from all the Big Bad Script-Kiddies. I want to do this myself, but I have no idea how to start. And I feel this is a fundamental problem with many people who have constant connections.
The question was asked in the interview but I don't think the answer was satisfactory (instead of "here is a solution" it was more like "here is what everyone should do"). Does anyone have some easy references for people like me who want to keep their constantly connected system "more secure"?
Any pointers or links would be highly appreciated, by myself and others.
Yeah, good thinking! Maybe when most of the web sites on earth are running Windows, and things start going wrong, like the MS browser releases security reports daily, or a huge web-mail web site gets hacked for days, an the news has daily reports of how many vulnerabilities are in Windows systems, people will actually start getting mad and have an anti-trust lawsuit or something!
Not only did the writer sound like he was a 13 year-old girl talking about the hot guy she saw on the beach the other day, but the things he were saying were, well, unbelivable. For example:
Please, read that again, because that's more than 20 times faster than any hard drive around today, and 100 times faster than any DVD-ROM drive on the market.
So what you're saying is the piece of round plastic in the picture (on every single page) holds more space and runs faster than any hard drive on the market? Why isn't Intel scrambling over this? If that piece of what could be ordinary plastic beats the hell out of my 6 gig hard drive, why haven't any hardware manufacturers at least caught up some of the way? I mean, the highest-end comps I've found have no more than 40 gigs, max. This beats that by a whopping 100 gigs.
And please, tell me the picture at the bottom of this page doesn't look like something out of Star Wars.
The answer my friends, is simple. I don't know why the FBI is spending their time popping around Universities, the culprit can be reasoned out by anybody who's read the newspapers or one of those "techie" news "web sites" like "Slash Dot" or "Wired".
The hacker responsible for the DDoS attacks is obviously Kevin Mitnick, in conjunction with the bastards who made DeCSS.
You see, Kevin Mitnick has been released from prision recently, and as my mum always says, "Once a thief, always a thief." It's obvious that he got his hands on a computer and quickly put an assault on popular news sites as revenge for his unjust incrimination.
But what about the guy from Norway who made DeCSS? That's where this gets complicated. You see, Kevin needed an ally, somebody to watch his back and make sure the Feds didn't catch him. Who else but the lowlife creep who made DeCSS, depriving the innocent MPAA of millions in revenues?
This is an obvious consipiracy. I can't believe the FBI hasn't figured this out yet.
(ehrm, the above is complete bullshit, by the by.)
I'm only saying this because I've got my nose buried in 19th century history, but I still feel it's a valid point: AOL is acting exactly like the white settlers in the Wild West, circa 1850's and such. How, you ask? Well, AOL is doing exactly what the white settlers did to the Indians: they had a conflict, they made like they were going to do The Right Thing(tm), then they just dropped everything for a better opportunity.
For white settlers this meant ignoring all treaties with the Indians and just taking their land anyway. For AOL, this meant ignoring their campaign for open access and just bought a cable company instead.
If you can't beat 'em, buy 'em.
There's got to be some historical reason why the mediocre always come out on top, but I just can't think of it...
Simply put, why do you continue to post articles that are, more or less, extended editorials instead of posting links to stories like every Slashdot author does? Admittedly, CmdrTaco is known for putting out the occasional rant, but as long as I've known Slashdot I've known that JonKatz Does Not Post Stories.
Unless your journalistic career comes to an "unfortunate" end, will you ever post stories like the rest of the/. crew? Also, though I can't think of a way to say this without sounding bitchy, do you think that writing stories is an equal effort in continuing the Slashdot cause, whatever that may be?
When I first started working at a local web development company, I was 1 of 2 men working there. The other five employees were all both middle-aged, female, and lesbians.
And let me tell you, work was interesting.
Though I loathe to say this, the fact of the matter is, women in computing are not going to be automatically good at design, caring for other people, good at handling hardware, or anything else that people may draw as a relationship between woman and computer to mother and child.
So while I don't want to seem anti-woman (I am, after all, looking for a strong, independant, hard-working woman to "adopt" me) I've got to say that in the same sense that Linux does not automatically equal Better, Women does not automatically equal Better.
"We just had a bit of bad luck -- or more literally two bits, since it was two single-point errors in a row that foiled our algorithm," Landweber said. "Two errors in a row are exceedingly rare and shouldn't become a problem when we scale up."
Better catch those "exceedingly rare" errors now else we'll have a DNA Y2K before you know it.
Seriously though, it solved the traveling salesman problem in a week? If this stuff is already in action, we should be testing the limits of computability, like finding the most approximate value of pi, calculating patterns in the stock market, and not losing any more damn Mars Polar Landers.
This DNA computing business is also a good way to teach people about how computers actually work. Most, I'm sure, think of a computer as just boxes of binary, not why 1 and 0 are used (you could use 52 and zebra instead) and why silicon was used (better than rubber bands, I'll tell you that) and why DNA is a much better solution.
Can't wait until this stuff is desktop able, and if you predict it will take 50 years, just remember what Gates thought about HD space in '83...
The fundamental differentiation between the arguments of Science and Religion are that science can be proven ("Look! Monkey bones!") and that Religion relies on faith ("Yeah, God did that!"). What this article seems to imply is that everything in evolution is based on these "multiple threads" of reality, which is basically the halfway point between Science and Religion: a faith we can (kinda) prove.
The question is, what can we do with this knowledge? Quantum mechanics will be, along with genetic engineering, the greatest controversy of the new century (mark my words, ladies and gentlemen) and I, for one, am going to try my damndest to keep the affair out of the meddling hands of those that want to discard it.
And this goes for both scientists and the religious this time. It's too phantasmic to be actual "science"; hell, Quantum Mechanics baffles most physicists. And it's too concrete to be accepted by the Christian sects (at least, those who still believe in creationism). Talk about a catch 22.
I never thought I'd hear a science article that talks equally about the existence of evolution (mutations from DNA) and the existence of a higher power (it's not random, somebody's pulling the strings here). Hopefully we'll see more of this in the future.
I appreciate efforts to Damn The Man as much as the next guy, but I feel a bit apprehensive to going against something which I don't even know what the acronym stands for.
Anyone have any actual legal docs on the UCITA, or for starters, can someone tell me what it means? United Communications In The Ass? Unlimited Corn Industry Task Allowence? Well?
I just hope the rest of the "freedom fighters" know more than I do...
As is a (thankfully) usual reaction to such a blatant injustice, the Slashdot community (and many others) have been scrambling to figure out ways to help you and others prosecuted in the name of this whole DeCSS fisasco.
As one (if not the) most persecuted individual as a result of DeCSS, what do you think the rest of the supporting world should do to help you out? What should the people who want to help do, besides the obvious posting of the DeCSS source and the general badmouthing of the MPAA?
The last quote in the article really stood out to me:
"This is not a permanent and final decision, but it seemed to be the prudent thing to do right now to protect the University and the academic community's access to good Internet service," stated Duckenfield.
So if free long distance calls aren't a "good Internet service", then what is? Honestly, how many college students out there do you think could benefit from the extra cash they'd get by not having to pay long distance to call home? And if "good Internet service" means good Internet connections for the university, he already said that it wouldn't affect the bandwidth anyway, so that's irrelevant.
The whole thing sounds very fishy to me. It truly sounds like the college is trying to keep its students paying Clemson Telecommunications instead of using a much better alternative. I see no reason why the students shouldn't be allowed to use it.
Unless, of course, you can use dialpad.com to make free phone sex calls.
ROOTERS (BS) -- "Rooters reported that at the inaguration(sp?) of President Donald Trump this past week, CBS used their new "eMass eDillusion" technology to superimpose an image of the president "gettin' jiggy with it" during his inagural speech. CBS authorities claim that it was "some hacker punk that broke into our system", but millions were not spared from the horrible image many believed was a new style in clothing"
...
Please, as if the thought of doctored images in newspapers wasn't bad enough, now I can't even trust the news on tv!
When I first read this article, it sounded suspiciously like the Amazon "1-click" fiasco. Originally it appeared to me that Xerox had made an invention (or a method, rather) and later on some other company did the same thing, intuitively, and now Xerox wants something out of it.
However, if 3Com really did "borrow" the technology, instead of creating a new technology that mimmics the same features, then I can understand Xerox's agitation. If I made plenty of inventions and all I got recognized for was machines that make duplicates, I'd be bitter too.
So which is it? An actual valid patent argument, or another Bezos blunder?
First I've got problems with any article that has a header with a link to a "Y2K virus watch". Y2K was a virus? Sure, and hax0rs crashed the NASA mars lander.
Second, in the second paragraph is this quote:
"The revelation that hackers can break into servers and steal encryption keys could have repercussions throughout the electronic commerce landscape."
So stealing credit cards from servers is now a revalation? It's the second paragraph and already they're pouring down the hype!
Lastly, there have been several cases of credit card fraud where I live (New England) due to disgruntled office supply cashiers scribbling down credit card data when the customers go to the checkout line. But does that mean people stop using credit cards to buy things? Hardly.
As if the idea of spending money was so radically new that old principles don't apply to e-commmerce... ------------
"How are people keeping up with the latest and greatest filming techniques?" Simple. They watch MTV (where the first video featuring the frozen-in-time effect was around 1995, though I forget who the artist was). Though the article was right: it's good that only a select few can do things like this, otherwise we'd see so much of this frozen effect (as it's been done already in Lost in Space and a multitude of music videos) that it would lose its spark. I personally would like to see more of an effort on writing than on camera angles, but that's just me. ------------
