watch how she moves like the film is being fast-forwarded .. but the background doesn't jump

OverUnder:
OverUnder: "Eyewitnesses overwhelmingly reported that, during the assassination, the limousine braked suddenly and came to a stop, before accelerating away again. Some people have also seen another film of the assassination?not yet seen by the public?which shows this stop very clearly. But Zapruder?s film doesn?t show the limousine stopping at all! It just keeps on driving down Elm Street the entire time."
OverUnder: or she moves as if the car was braking hard at the time she moves forward .. but the car actually brakes later
OverUnder: "12 years before it was shown on TV" .. ringing any bells here people?
OverUnder: don't answer yet .. we'll come back to that one
OverUnder: MPEG
OverUnder: maybe the film was also shot from the grassy knoll? ;)

Vendors push gear that runs 10G over Cat6 copper, and into blade servers

fridge: "The NIC Chelsio developed requires just under 25 watts of power; over 25 watts would require an additional electrical feed to power the NIC, instead of drawing power from the computer?s PCI-Express slot." -- holy crap

CREEPY

VIA's C7-M-powered TongFang notebook

Mutiny: lol @ laptops with shitty processors
coderman: you riceboy gamer fanatic
Mutiny: lol @ in-order execution and 128k of L2 cache.
Mutiny: "Even with a 100 MHz handicap the Celeron-M proved notably faster"
coderman: cmon, crypto and battery life are what you'd use this for. they don't want to compete on speed.

Laptop Computer Privacy in Distress

coderman: gee, wish there was a way to empower users to protect their laptop privacy via technological counter measures!
coderman: you know, something like "/dev/loop3: [0100]:2301 (/dev/hda2) encryption=AES128 multi-key-v3"
coderman: <Cop> your password and disk key, please.
coderman: <coderman> bwahahaha, you're a funny man, sir.
coderman: (i'd use 256 if i had a via laptop with padlock, but 256 is just a little too slow in software (M$ was right on this one))

Stephen Colbert explains AT&T and Cingular

When Being a Verb is Not Enough: Google wants to be YOUR Internet

coderman: "Google controls more network fiber than any other organization. This is not to say that Google OWNS all that fiber, just that they control it through agreements with network operators." - nice way to avoid FTC scrutiny that would come with same control via purchase/ownership
coderman: "Of course this doesn't answer the question why Google needs so much capacity in the first place, but I have a theory on that... The answer is pretty simple. Google intends to take over most of the functions of existing fixed networks in our lives, notably telephone and cable television."
coderman: the net is sooo fuckered if/when google gets pwned.
coderman: i'd love to know details about the network security process / controls they have in place.
seti: Cringely seems on crack again.
OverUnder: coderman -- someone told me use the username as the password .. google ***** .. should get you straight in
OverUnder: telnet google.com
OverUnder: actually, have you tried just a simple html redirect in your bots.txt?
