I am a Droid user and ran my own experiment. I drew a bunch of lines in a drawing program and got waviness.
But what does this really mean? The Droid is not as good as the iPhone if you are buying it to use as a graphics tablet, but c'mon, who does that? I am able to use the web browser, keyboard, etc. with absolutely no problem. It seems to me that this article is just here to try to get publicity for the person who wrote it and the person that I will not name.:)
There are going to be lots of little solutions that will stretch out IPv4 for a while.
One that I came up would be to offer a financial incentive to reclaim unused blocks of addresses. Ten or fifteen years ago, IP address space was handed out like candy. You could get a class C block readily, and class B blocks just needed a little justification. I did some contract work in the late 90s for a company that I still keep up with, and they have a few entire C nets in their possession and not in use. Now how do we get these back? There is going to be demand for IP addresses, and as the supply becomes more and more limited, that demand will make people desperate.
So why not let people who already have address space sell what they have? It does reward unrightfully holding onto stuff, but if these addresses are needed, then hey!
...in an alimony suit with a woman that I'd never met. The case was quickly dismissed, but the attorney did some dirty subpoenas and essentially tore my dignity to shreds in front of several people. It's reaaaalllly funny to people who look at your search history, your emails, and your CC purchases with no context and absolutely no justification.
And FUD because being identical twins may have ABSOLUTELY NO effect on personalities. I do not know a single set of identical twins with remotely similar personalities. My guess is that their turn-ons and preferences would differ significantly.
Yeah, so I built my wife this machine because she's a technogeek and I'm off doing research support a couple weeks out of the month. As you can guess, it's a machine to satisfy her while I'm gone. It involves a 1/2hp 1140RPM 3-phase motor with a 120V single phase drive. It strokes between 30RPM and 1140RPM as I have it configured now.
Now here's where the interesting stuff comes in. The wife wanted to use the machine on me. I was a bit turned off at first, but she said that she would be willing to do anything for me if I tried it, so I agreed. (That paid off a few hours later!) We, let's say, flushed me out, and got to business. Lots and lots of lube and the wife's Jollet dildo. We started slow and worked it in. Didn't start getting fun till we popped open the amyl nitrites. After about five minutes at quarter speed, I was having the most intense feeling for my life for about thirty seconds. Didn't even touch myself. I'm not gay but have been getting some of this ever since.
By the way, this study is FUD. I participated in a lot of psychological research, and the study has no sound basis.
Ten years. Start research now and have a completely new Internets in ten years. Time scale? NASA takes fifteen or twenty years to get a single probe up. R&D companies take that long to get a product on the shelves.
So let's reinvent the Internet and sit in a think tank and somehow come up with every single little thing that could go wrong. Nevermind that the change of IPv6 was defined twelve years ago and that we have not even come close to a realization of it as simple as it is. Sounds a bit like an SBIR idea...we're going to be more likely to get to Mars by 2015 than we are to have this happen.
They typically are pretty skewed towards young people. Young people are much more likely to be out of touch with current events and much more in touch with technology. Now I'm not going to bash Jobs by any means! He has started the downfall of Windows or at least has taken a nice bite out of M$'s market share. He has changed the music industry for the better--think iTunes where you can almost get a song for what it's worth for once! He has produced the most popular, most advanced phone on the planet. He has made so many simple "why didn't I think of that?" products that still have not been paralleled even by copying. Every Apple product is distinctly an Apple product!
I personally would have said that Bush was the most influential person of the decade. He was the most powerful man in the world for eight years. He made an enormous power grab for the executive branch, changed how the country views terrorism (be scared, very scared), and brought several countries into two wars, one of which is hopefully mostly over, and the other with no end in sight. Also, under his watch, the worldwide economy took an enormous tumble due to his lax policies, with considerable help from previous presidents, especially Clinton and Reagan. To me, his influence was far greater than anything Jobs has done.
The point about Linus's machine having no coprocessor is actually true. This made development a little iffy since floating point math had to be done in software. The i386DX actually did not have an FPU, and the coprocessor was the i387 which was not all that popular but was compatible with both the DX and SX models. It was not until the introduction of the i486 that the SX had no coprocessor and the DX had a built-in coprocessor.
A few more TeV, and I forsee a problem. A BIG PROBLEM. And I think it's gonna go a little like this:
Scientist: [after the experiment fails] Why wouldn't they listen? Scientist: We tried to warn them! Scientist: I never thought I'd see a resonance cascade, let alone create one.
I'm here in a terminal at ATL waiting for a second flight. Been sitting here for four hours now and no hope is in sight according to the people at the counter and overhead announcements. Will keep "y'all" updated.
So here are some stats calculated at worst-case for 60 PS3s doing brute force cracking:
8-character passwords w/ letters and numbers only: 3.3 hours.
Upper and lower case: 10.5days. With 9 characters, it's 7.15 years
An 84-character set brings us up to 119.5 days.
Note: I just used x^8 which isn't totally accurate, the numbers in reality are a bit larger but it doesn't matter much.
This makes me wonder in case this is true. We are running up to a physical limitation in the human brain. People already have trouble memorizing the dozens of 8character passwords. 9 characters will hold moores law off for a few more years (not the precise meaning of moores law but you know what i mean). The problem is also that people are getting more accounts for things. Most people even today use the same passwords for a variety of things. I'd say almost all people.
So I ask the/. crowd are there any good alternatives to passwords that are feasible? Something secure. Something that can be implemented on websites. What do you think we should be working towards? Is there already something in place that you can give an example of?
So that's what's not made clear in the article. It's kinda strange the way everyone stood around the poster on the floor and didn't even touch it or pick it up.
Almost as though it were an ebola victim just sitting there, dead and contagious. Crazy, right? And they called the cops to come and dispose of it.
Now here's my question--I wonder why the folks promoting the book didn't just stand it up again...
Among other things, extremely alien-looking aliens would be hard to fit with the idea that God 'made man in his own image' and Jesus Christ's role as savior would be confused; would other worlds have their own Christ-figures, or would Earth's Christ be universal?
I wonder what the writer's credentials REALLY are. If you do as little as attend a few Sunday School classes, you will quickly find out that God making man in his own image means that he made him ORIGNALLY perfect and holy.
Where is this guy getting off with such a shallow interpretation, that it is a physical "image?" Either he is clueless about the conventional interpretation that just about everyone takes, or he knows and is poisoning the well by utilizing an uncommon interpretation that he is implying to be common because the readers may not know any better.
So, now if you want to go to eBay and pick up a used console, you are at HIGH RISK. (This goes for the entire used XBOX market.) MS really should set up some kind of verification system where you can call in a serial number and check an XBOX or "preowned" system where you can get a guaranteed, stamped approval. I'd bet that pretty soon, we are going to see a flooded market of XBOXes that won't be able to connect. Imagine what Craigslist is about to look like.
Now what about if you aren't using LIVE? Nothing's going to stop you from running pirated games now, and it's probably going to be really cheap to get these "dead" consoles now. Life's good! If you buy a $50 or $100 used console and download a few games, you have already saved yourself the cost of a console. BAM!
There aren't that many good online LIVE games IMO, so it makes a lot of sense to have the cheap "dead" console to play the majority of the enjoyable ones. And if you really want to play LIVE, just mooch off your friend:) DOUBLE BAM!
He is a credible source. For a little background, he wrote one of the most popular cron daemons.
(Wiki) With the advent of the GNU Project and Linux, new crons appeared. The most prevalent of these is the Vixie cron, originally coded by Paul Vixie in 1987. Version 3 of Vixie cron was released in late 1993. Version 4.1 was renamed to ISC Cron and was released in January 2004. Version 3, with some minor bugfixes, is used in most distributions of Linux and BSDs.
I met Vixie some number of years ago in Vegas and he blew my mind away with his insight. He's spot on once again in this article.
How about self-control? Why is it such the trend to make everything so equitable? Everyone is different and everyone has to have software patches for the in-born hardware problems.
How about... Supply me with a bodyguard because I am small and might be picked on Give me a million dollars because I have asthma and suffer Make it OK for me to rape young girls because I have a gene contributing to paedophilia
There is something fundamentally wrong with the court systems internationally. You CAN'T MAKE EVERYTHING EQUITABLE, and it is unjust to even try. That is not the courts' job.

I USE ANONOMYZING PROXIES NOW.
Cool, thanks. What's your life story?

I had to refresh myself a bit on the mission. This is really good info and of course this is as well.

If you are wondering about the convoy tag or cwmccall tag, it is a reference to a very catchy tune (music link) about truck convoys.
I LOL'ed at this one. An unlimited data plan limited to "5Gb." What a country!
