...not only does it all make sense, it's perfectly coherent.
Think of this article as a mirror; if you see it as disjointed and incomprehensible, perhaps the problem is in the viewer rather than the author.
Nanomanufacturing is coming. I predict that China will be the first to deploy it on a large scale - and that political turmoil will follow worldwide as a result.

HDMI is significantly more than "one wire;" furthermore, it is tied to the AACS Technology Users' Rights Denial System (aka "TURDS"); and if that weren't enough to keep you away from it, it's very pricey.
Who's the bigger fool, the man who makes a point you can't understand, or the man who calls the technical writer (who happens to be correct) a fool?
My phone does what I need it to do - it makes phone calls, accepts phone calls, sends and accepts SMS text messages, takes very poor photos, and plays a tiny amount of music (think "ringtones" only I'm not paying some schmuck to make them for me; I make my own and transfer them with bluetooth at painfully-slow crawl).
The phone has Internet capability. I have not only never used it, I'd remove it if I only knew how.
Watching TV on my cell phone sounds about as much fun as being vigorously scrubbed with a cheese grater by a large Swedish gentleman.
When the primary job qualification is loyalty to a particular political group, it's difficult to find competent network engineers. Apparently Boeing has discovered that suckupism is not equivalent to a knowledge of COS.
An expensive lesson, which will be forgotten the next time the American Schutzstaffel contracts a job, of course.
For a Nobel laureate, Weinberg is amazingly narrow-minded and short-sighted. But then, he *is* a Texan, so one should not be surprised.
There are hundreds of thousands of people alive today because of developments that are taken directly from the manned space program. The first one that comes to mind is the high-pressure oxygen bottles developed for man in space, and adapted for firemen entering burning buildings.
And at some point - possibly less than a century from now - the Earth will become uninhabitable for unprotected humans. That's an absolute certainty; the only question is "when," not "if" it will happen. The "how" may be man-made (e.g., global warming) or a natural disaster (think "huge asteroid collides with Earth").
If humans have not established a permanent, independent existence off the Earth by then, it will be the last hurrah for Mankind. Those who argue against Man in space are fools, at best, and greedy ego-centric solipsists, more likely.
"No, the people that published the email served only to show that underhand, nefarious tactics are going to be required to catch modern internet criminals."
Oh, you mean like calling a pre-teen girl's school and pretending to be a family member, in order to kidnap her and take her to a lawyer's office to be grilled about file sharing? See http://www.oregonlive.com/news/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/news/1182914724179260.xml&coll=7 for an independent report of this criminal behavior.
You do realize that, ahd the **AA reps succeeded in spiriting this child away from her school, US law permits the use of deadly force to free her from her kidnappers, don't you?
The MPAA and RIAA started this war. They have committed *capital* felony offenses in their pursuit of money. That makes them absolutely indentical to Al Capone's hired thugs in the early part of last Century.
Personally, I would have no problem putting a large, blunt object into violent contact with the skulls of any **AA flunky that showed up at my door. But then, I'm a moderate.
"So come on people - why might my DNA being in a police database be a bad thing, assuming I am not going to commit crime?"
So assume the police have your DNA.
Someone in your office hates you. They collect a bit of your DNA through the obvious methods (e.g., going through your trash), and then attach that DNA to something the police are likely to find incriminating, say, a bottle of liquid explosive (which, of course, doesn't exist escept in the fevered imaginations of the same police...).
Then plant the evidence in the Tube, find a pay phone and call in a bomb threat for that station. PC Plod arrives, finds the bottle, submits it to the lab for possible DNA matching.
Next thing you know, you've been done for terrorism and have no idea what happened.
"...Our engineers conducted an *independent* analysis ..."
Well, actually, they are independent of Microsoft, so in that sense, it's correct.
But what's important is that anyone who is not an MS flunky can examine the proposal and determine that it is flawed, deliberately proprietary, and designed to lock in MS users to a format which cannot be used by software which does not do things "the Redmond way." Which usually means no software which is not generating revenue for Microsoft will be allowed to use the "standard."
The jackbooted ignoramuses who raided this fellow's home used precisely the tactics that the Bush Administration in the USA advocates to fight "terror" - that is, they terrorized an innocent man, who was working hard to preserve freedom of expression, and they terrorized his wife. And the terror tactics worked - he won't help support freedom in that way any more.
Acts of terrorism committed in the name of "the war on terror" are no less reprehenisble than the acts of the terrorists wearing turbans.
I spent 23 years in the US Army. I now see it was complete waste. My advice to anyone considering a military term of service is, "don't." You'll regret it - if you're lucky. Otherwise you go die someplace to shore up the profits of one of Bush's stockholders.
All of the foofarah over the iPlayer is caused by the fact that the BBC is constrained to use DRM (or as it is more correctly know, Technology Users' Rights Denial System, or TURDS).
This is utterly useless, since, if the data stream can be sent to a computer, it can be captured by that (or another) computer. And once it has been captured, removal of the TURDS is much easier than getting a Microsoft Exchange server to work properly.
And if it can't be sent to a computer, then there's no point in developing the iPlayer, with or without TURDS in.
These ten were idiots. You don't use the Internet - a world-wide communications network - to scam people in your own country. Even the bloody Nigerians are smarter than that.
If you want to sit in Germany and scam people, scam the Chinese. Their government can't touch you (unless you're stupid enough to visit Tiananmen Square), and Western governments won't cooperate. Well, except for George W. Bush, who admires the Chinese method of dealing with dissidents.
And there's your IT angle, you gits - this was an *INTERNET* scam. So bugger off, there's a good lot.
"Being mostly pressurised tanks full of explosive rocket fuel, ICBM boosters are fairly prone to blowing up if even you leave them alone"
Well, actually, most of them are solid-fuel rockets of the same general type used as strap-on SRBs for the Space Shuttle.
Which by no means invalidates the "prone to blowing up" point, but I think it's important to distinguish between cryogenic liquid exploding, and what is, in essence, a bunch of rubberised gelatin.
"Had we failed to update the service automatically, users would not have been able to successfully check for updates and, in turn, users would not have had updates installed automatically or received expected notifications," the product manager, Nate Clinton, wrote. "That result would not only fail to meet customer expectations but even worse, that result would lead users to believe that they were secure even though there was no installation and/or notification of upgrades."
Bollocks.
In Linux, I can either run Synaptic, or go to the command prompt and enter:
apt-get update
to get the latest list of updates from the Internet repository. I can add or remove repositories at a whim, using a simple text editor.
So Microsoft is claiming either that they are too incompetent to write a simple script, or an ActiveX application, to update Windows Updater *on demand* byt the user, or they are simply lying to cover up the fact that they have committed *MILLIONS* of illegal computer accesses all ocer the wordl - probably orders of magnitude more such illegal accesses than all virus writers combined, ever, in the history of the PC.
My bet would be on the lying and illegal access.
"Name *one* thing space exploration has achieved then if you're so fscking clever."
Just one? Which one shall I choose?

Charge Coupled Device (CCD) chips for digital imaging breast biopsies.
I guess I'll choose that one. Now crawl back into your cave and see if you can make a fire by banging two rocks together, you presimian lump!
Summary: Prince demands that other people do the hard work necessary to ensure that his copyrights are enforced, without paying them for it.
I believe that, in the US at least, it has been illegal to force other people to work for your enrichment without paying them since 1861.
It's ironic that it's a Black man trying to bring back slavery.
Not just Firefox - your whole computer can ignore unwanted sites:
First, go to http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm and install a new HOSTS file (this works on Windows, Mac, Linux, OS/2, and pretty much anything else using TPC/IP).
After that, any time you see an annoying page or add, simply append the server's name at the end of the HOSTS file with the IP address 127.0.0.1 in front of it, for example:
127.0.0.1 gwb.whitehouse.gov
If you happen to have your own Web server you could substitute its IP for 127.0.0.1 but unless it's on your local area network, that will be slower than the default IP provided.
In case anyone is interested, 127.0.0.1 is the "loopback" address; it always means "this computer, right here" no matter which computer you happen to be on.
"T-Mobile argued that radio waves have no mass and therefore aren't emissions."
Einstein argued that mass and energy are equivalent - E == mc^2 ("Energy is equal to mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light").
Of course, if T-Mobile's masts emit (there's that word again) no radio waves, then there is no mass to consider.
So the solution is to order T-Mobile to immediately switch off every mast which has not been been mapped to the satisfaction of the Information Commissioner, effective on, say, 15th October of this year. *Then* they will not be emitting anything. Masts may be switched back on when the IC is satisfied with their mappings. This order to be in force immediately, and to be rescinded only *after* the review of the appeal.
Problem solved, one way or another.
Then the lying bastards at T-Mobile can start on the 1029 hours of work they were supposed to have already finished.
"The ACCC claims that the search giant fails to properly distinguish between "organic" search results and advertising results, and it's annoyed that Trading Post was able to attract customers using sponsored links that included the names of two competing dealerships, Kloster Ford and Charlestown Toyota."
Frankly, any punter who can't tell the difference between sponsored links and "organic" search results on a Google search result page whould not have been allowed out of The Home without supervision.
I would say the judge in this case is no so much confused, as intelligent; he's trying to keep the bureaucrats too busy to do any other harm for a month.
There are some incredibly easy ways to protect yourself against the most-common malware vectors. I won't bother to outline simple email safety; if you're smart enough to be reading this article, you're probably already deleting email from unknown senders unread.
1. Don't surf the web using Internet Explorer. Use Firefox, Safari, Opera, Lynx, or any other browser of your choice. The vast majority of Web-based attacks rely on ActiveX, whcih is almost tailor-made for remote compromise of a PC. A certain Web site which carries a lot of addons for World of Warcraft was running banner ads which carried ActiveX installers for a keylogger almost continuously for over 6 weeks in Fall of 2006. Only IE users were infected.
2. Use a "hardware firewall" (aka "router") between your PC(s) and the Internet. Firewall off (using the "drop" tables if you have a choice; this makes your connection effectively invisible to attackers) the ranges found in the .htaccess file at http://www.wizcrafts.net/chinese-blocklist.html
3. If you run Windows XP, use Mike Lin's Startup Monitor http://www.mlin.net/StartupMonitor.shtml and Startup Control Panel http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml to monitor what's set to run itself at startup.
4. Don't hire "power levelers" and don't buy "gold" using real money. The people behind those services are already breaking the game's acceptable use policy; why would you trust a cheater to treat *you* fairly? Don't be an idiot.
Neither the polygraph nor the VSA/LVA systems detect anything unusual when someone who spends all their time lying, is lying. All it takes to fool the devices is a lack of conscience (and perhaps a couple of shots of Dutch courage, for the novice scammer).
So the people who are "caught" by this system will be the harried Mums with a few rowdy children in the flat, and the worried parents who need help due to unusual expenses.
Those who make a living at "playing the system" will be given a free pass, and those with legitimate stress in their lives will be shown the red card.
Only a heartless professional bureaucrat, possibly one who gets a kickback from the vendor, would have even considered this system.
The record labels have proven to me that I can live without any musicians other than the ones I know personally - pub bands, street buskers, and the semi-annual visit to the Symphony.
There's absolutely nothing being recorded by RIAA members today that's worth spending my time. And since I don't want their crap - not even for free - I don't have to worry about a frivolous law suit, designed to ruin me financially as punishment for "stealing" their trash.
Remember: If it's not a live performance, it's not an amateur - it's a product.
There's plenty of evidence that the fine powder effluent from laser printers causes health problems. There's plenty of evidence that the exhaust from petrol-burning cars causes health problems.
There's *ZERO* evidence that the non-ionising radiation from cell phones, Wifi, AM, FM, and SW radio, and electric lights cause any sort of health problems.
I suggest you go repeat your first-year biophysics classes. Oh, you didn't take biophysics? Then perhaps you might consider learning a little science before spouting your Luddite opinions.
I know, I'm the eternal optimist. Still.
"TVs old enough to be just pre-infrared had remotes connected by cable, that offered ALL the benefits that you list PLUS never needed batteries changing. Why don't you get one of those?"
Actually, the immediate precursor of the IR remote was the (ultra)sonic system - I recall using one about the size of two cigarette packs stuck end-to-end, which had actual metallic rods inside that were struck by tiny hammers when you pressed a button. No batteries, no wires - but if you dropped it or set it down a bit too hard, results were unpredictable.
And the channel selector on the TV had a stepper motor - you could go up or down one channel at a time, none of this "switch over to Channel 2" without going through everything in between if you didn't happen to be on 3 to 13 already.
"What is the POINT of a thin client computer packing a CPU clocked at over a GIG?! Do you seriously need that much grunt just to run a window-server?"
Spot on, scruffy! I have a system at home running a 500MHz CPU, a 5 gig Compact Flash hard drive (the Seagate itty-bitty-actual-hard-drive-in-a-CF-format type), one gig of RAM, and Ubuntu Linux. The only speed issues I ever have are caused by slow Web sites.
"By blocking port 25, ISPs effectively nullify one of the few decent tools that is available for combating spam - SPF. "
Bollocks. SPF does *NOTHING* at the user's machine. There's no legitimate reason to allow unathenticated outbound connections on Port 25 from end-user computers. If they have a legitimate need to connection to a different ISP's outbound mail server, then they are probably competent to use a different port (587 is provided for that purpose, and we also provide another "high" port for our customers who are firewalled in - as they should be).
On the other hand, if ISPs were held legally responsible for distribution of malware and spam from their networks, to the tune of, say, $10,000 per day per machine that continued to send such traffic 24 hours after their abuse desk was notified (or an attempt was made to notify them - Verizon, for one, has a habit of rejecting abuse reports which contain the very spam I have tried to report), then I suspect they would *find* the resources they need to fight the problem effectively.
As long as it's cheaper for the ISPs to ignore the problem, the biggest offenders will continue to offend.
"All it takes is two clicks - regardless of the platform."
Wrong, Steven. On Linux,(1) BS and Mac OSX, it requires a password to install a software package. Granted, a moron with root could still do it - but he couldn't do it *without knowing he installed something*. That's more than "two clicks."
On Windows, as it comes "out of the box," *everyone* is root, and anyone can install anything simply by following a Web link. ActiveX (the most-common attack vector) is *desinged* to do that - it's almost as if Microsoft's esoftware engineers sat down at a design meeting and asked, "how can we most effectively ensure that all PCs running our software will be vulnerable to hijacking without the user realizing it's happened?"
(1) - I specifically exempt Lindows/Linspire from the Linux camp - it was designed to be a free competitor to Windows, and as such, it's done an admirable job reproducing the vulnerabilities inherent in the Windows design.
"Plot Synopsis: This plot synopsis is empty."
Seems pretty cogent to me.
The funniest part is the long description - the first paragraph says there are tunnels under the Pacific, and the second says the USA is being attacked by men from across the Atlantic. Apparently the writer confused the Red Chinese with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
No matter when it's released, it's still Blu-Ray, and it's still hobbled with Technology Users' Rights Denial Systems, aka TURDS (called "DRM" by the Marketing people, because who would knowingly buy anything with TURDS in and then put it in their home?).
HD-DVD suffers the same problem.
I'll wait for a TURDS-free format, thanks.
Your Internet access slows down because your ISP is too cheap to provision enough bandwidth to provide what they've promised at peak hours.
In other words, they are selling good they haven't got, and don't intend to get. If Internet access were treated as "real goods," you could sue your ISP for false advertising and fraud.
If the big bandwidth sellers (AT&T, Verizon, etc.) get their way, you'll *still* have bandwidth choking because your ISP will continue selling goods they don't have and don't intend to get - only you'll have to pay more for what you aren't getting.
I'm not surprised that Bush Administrations "Justice" Department supports AT&T. After all, this is "Government Of The People, By The Corporation, and For The Corporation" in action. It's exactly what we've seen happening since Bush took office, and slipped a word to the judge in the last Microsoft Anti-Trust case.
Those of you who have never participated in behind-the-lines rescue ops may be startled to learn that the team is usually inserted within 10 miles of the downed airmen they are there to rescue. Fifty miles' range is superb for a vehicle which makes very little noise, has no olfactory signature, and won't burn with enthusiam in the event the fuel tank is pucntured (since it has none, as such). they can get in much faster than walking, load up the injured onto a self-propelled carrier, and get out to the evac site. This vehicle *will* save lives.
And even without the solar kit, a EV can go a few more miles on a "flat" battery if it's allowed to site a couple of hours. Try doing that with an empty fuel tank.

I will say I'd rather have the Navy come after me if I happen to need divers, however. Still, even a zoomie in a blue suit is better than no help!
"But you can't get your work done on Linux or play good games."
Bollocks! I can do word processing, calendar meetings, create presentations, connect to users' computers remotely to work on their (always-crashing) Windows, and play World of Warcraft on Ubuntu. I could do Computer-Aided Design on Ubuntu, except I don't have the talent for that, so I can't do it on Windows, either.
Don, you clearly don't know much about Linux. Why not go get a free 10-pack of Ubuntu (or for you Windows-drones, Kubuntu) CDs and run it "live" (e.g., no installation required, it runs from the CD)? At least then you'll have some clue what you're dissing.
Visit https://shipit.kubuntu.org/
I am unaffiliated with Kubuntu/Ubunut (except as a happy and unpaid user).
"Please don't judge people by your own standards. Don't assume that every boss is a crook with no principles."
How about if I judge them by my half-century of observation, some of it "in the trenches" at Intel?
I would say that no more than 97% of senior management in the Fortune 1000 are crooked. No more than 1% are honestly ignorant. The other 2% are dupes.
Increase the first figure for Sales And Marketing management to 99%. Eliminate the honestly ignorant there, and reduce the "dupes" to, at most, 1%.
"From a theoretical point of view it's interesting but is this really useful to anybody?"
Of what use is a newborn baby? We're somewhat before the "ground floor" of quantum computing. I seem to recall the CEO of IBM once predicting a world-wide market of about a half-dozen electronic computers. I have more computers than that personally (depending on how you define "computer" I may have approached an order of magnitude more).
Some day quantum computers will be as common as dirt. Right now they're interesting because we can conceive of them. If you don't care, don't read the articles. I'm sure there must be several about Paris Hilton, Naomi Campbell, or Ebenezer Scrooge if you'd just google for them.
"See now even if Microsoft come out with useful technology that really moves the industry forwards in some way..."
Then pigs will fly, world peace will break out, and the stockholders in MS will have Ballmer's head on a platter.
I can't say that the last item bothers me a lot, but as the Magic 8-Ball says, "Outlook not so good."
Microsoft has *never* innovated technologically (MS-DOS, for example, was simply the PC version of existing Disk Operating Systems - "DOS" being the acronym - and Windows was a blatant attempt to rip off Macintosh, Atari ST, Amiga, and the Digital Research version of the Graphics Environment Manager). Their sole innovation has always been in Marketing - and they achieved their monopoly position by unlawful means, as documented in not one but two US Federal anti-trust lawsuits brought against Microsoft. See http://www.maxframe.com/DR/Info/fullstory/ca_sues_ms.html for details of private charges agaisnt Microsoft, some of which date back as far as 1991.
"blocking systems that misrecognize even ONE legit email as spam should not be tolerated, unless it's one that you yourself installed on your own email accounts."
Vote with your feet, Keith. You aren't paying the bills for the bandwidth stolen by the spammers (and neither are the spammers). Your ISP is (usually) doing their best to avoid "false positives" while also avoiding "false negatives." And I venture to say you aren't running your own server, either, so you have *NEVER* installed a blocking system, and probably have no idea how they work.
Blacklisting certainly works - my users, for example, expect no email from China, Japan, Thailand, Korea, UAE, Turkey, Israel, or numerous other nations which are hotbeds of malicious software, and the proximate sources of most of the spam aimed at us. Such nations are "block on sight" and our mail server becomes "invisible" to them.
Greylisting is something you clearly don't understand, but suffice it to say that it's less likely to generate "false positives," and more likely to generate "false negatives" than blacklisting does, which is why it should be used *in conjunction with* rather than instead of blacklisting.
e360's own ISP is not the issue; clearly you don't grasp that concept, either. It's the users of other ISPs who have cried out to their admins to "please stop the spam," and those admins have done their best to oblige.
Spamhaus has a policy of listing IPs (and ISPs) *only* when there is a well-documented history of spam originating from them; Spamhaus also has the best track record of *any* IP list provider in avoiding "false positives" (e.g., if the mail is coming from a known spam-source IP, and it's rejected by my server because Spamhaus has listed that IP, it's not a false positive).
I can recall two incidents over the past decade in which Spamhaus suffered a typo which caused a false positive incident. Both cases were cleared up within hours.
My best advice to you, if you are unhappy with your ISP, is to change ISPs. For example, I will undertake to provide you with totally-unfiltered email, for only US$2000/month (that's my best estimate of the cost of operating the server, cost of bandwidth, and cost of storage).
Or you could try to get a grasp on what the *real* problem is and quit whining about things of which you clearly have less than zero understanding.
I have no affiliation with Spamhaus, other than having previously been a satisfied user of their lists, and once or twice being named as a co-defendant with them in a lawsuit by spammers trying the "improper joinder" approach (in other words, "let's sue a bunch of mostly-unrelated people and see if any of them will pay us to leave them alone").
They lied about the rootkit TURDS (Technology Users' Rights Denial System). Then they lied about the removal software. Then they lied *again* about the TURDS removal software.
Three strikes and you're out; the USB "rootkit-like" software is Strike Four. Blaming a third-party software vendor is a lame excuse; the fact that the software vendor is in China simply reveals that the security flaws introduced are probably deliberate on the part of the Red Chinese Army.
And, 'Rick Rubin ... told the New York Times that the technology "recorded information about whoever bought the record", indicating that some kind of "spyware" also came with the cloaking technology introduced by Sony's DRM software.'
I could be wrong, but I believe that distribution of that sort of spyware is a criminal, not a civil, offense in the USA - and it's certianly a violation of the UK's Data Protection Act.
If a private citizen were caught doing all this, he'd be put *under* Old Bailey. Why is Sony getting away with a wrist-slap?
But other than that, who cares?
iPod, Zune, any other proprietary, over-hyped, over-priced crap out there?
I'm quite happy with my $50 mp3 player, and my NHJ PMP (and bugger the execs who shut down NHJ). Open standards (or at least *standards*) are the way to go.
Firstly, the primary issue of open relays has been a non-issue for years. There are few open SMTP relays these days, and if the spammers were to use them, they'd melt down under the load in minutes.
Secondly, the current issue is botnets. Defeating botnets requires a multi-pronged approach:
- Admins must configure their networks so that the default is for all outbound SMTP traffic to route through their own servers (with exceptions made only upon request, and with a reasonable explanation of why the ISP's own servers will not serve the purpose).
- Admins must aggressively null-route traffic from infected machines, both *inside* and *outside* their own networks.
- Admins must require customers to maintain uninfected client machines, with null-routing the first step, and customer termination a last-resort (but not unused) final step.
- Legislators must eliminate the useless laws that currently exist (because they are so full of loopholes that it's almost impossible to violate them), and pass laws that punish spammers, botnet herders, and VXers with serious "hard time" and total confiscation of their assets. It won't stop new offenders; it will make repeat offenses too expensive to be attractive.
And finally, we need to replace all Windows machines worldwide with a more-robust and less-vulnerable OS (that is to say, a *real* OS, one which isn't based on the concept of millions of isolated computers with no network access, then suddenly giving everyone root-level access to all of them at once). Good luck on that one.
Getting lawmakers to do anything useful is harder than sending men to the Moon and bringing them home alive. The problem will be with us for some time to come.
"BlueFrog was DDOS-ed to death by the spammers. If that doesn't prove they were on to something, I don't know what does."
It proves the people who were given investor money to create BlueFrog, and who collected "subscriptions" money from users, were smart enough to pay a little for a DDoS so they could abscond with the cash after "regretfully" shutting down.
Anyone who isn't paranoid just isn't paying attention.
"can only assume that, like this country, history is no longer on the US schools curriculum either."
Over here in the former Colonies, the only subjects on the required curriculum are "How to vote for the right (and Right) President" and "How to sign your paycheck over to the Government." All else is elective.
This is about NBC wanting to start selling their shows directly (and probably at inflated prices). Sadly, there are probably enough stupid wankers who will pay $4.99 an episode for that to work.
I've seen both version of The Office and I have to say that it's easily one of the worst ten TV shows ever released on either side of the Atlantic. Give me Monarch of the Glen, or any season of Dr. Who. The Office appeals to those who never mentally left elementary school.
