Interesting idea. If planets become organized enough, they could beam full copies of the planet's intranet periodically to other planets, creating the whole "internet".

We are, after all, limited by the speed of light.

How about networking multiple worlds? What about when we learn to colonize Mars, and other solar systems?

I think IPv64 should be sufficient enough...........

FYI: Handbrake can convert quite a few things into MP4, but these all don't play on the iPad. there's some issues here.

You mean the key that is:

46 (the atomic number of palladium)
DC (the comic book shop)
EA (the horrible DRM ridden game company)
D3 (the Nikon camera)
17 (the element Chlorine)
  FE (the element iron)
45 (the gun caliber)
D8 (the technology conference)
09 (the year sony released a new PS3 model with Other OS disabled)
23 (the atomic number of sodium)
EB (the game store)
97 (the element Berkelium)
E4 (the pay television channel)
95 (the interstate, I-95)
64 (the Nintendo 64)
10 (the hidden message in the 10th xkcd comic http://xkcd.com/10/)
D4 (the programming language)
CD (the dead media format)
B2 (the bomber)
C2 (E=mc^2)

This key tells an interesting story!!!

Seriously, Slashdot has a crazy view on this one. You can't predict the future, and it's actually kinda (kinda) a cool move that Murdock is making a virtual paper. The editor should be shot and robots should replace him.

I, for one, welcome our new robot slashdot editor overlords.

The last thing I want at work is for my legitimate searches to autocomplete with warez sites and the like.

If anything, though, it shows that google's instant search mechanic is a failure -- not the actual searching for warez.

But why not just use torx? It's far more common.

As far as I've observed, Apple has done a great job of contributing to a number of open source projects and has used their muscle to force the RIAA/MPAA into the digital space.

Personally, I'd put the RIAA / MPAA / Copyright Monglers at the top of this list. They're the ones trying to shove the COICA through Congress.

Which, by the way, they're trying to sneak through by this Thursday.

Point by point:

Is DNSSEC a good thing? (Yes)
Do webmasters need a DNSSEC cert? (No, but it wouldn't be a bad idea. DNS works normally if you do not have one).
Will consumers get 404 redirect pages with DNSSEC? (Not sure here. I'm guessing -- No, because DNSSEC doesn't allow this?)
Will Comcast ever stop sucking? (Probably not.)

And "Freedom!"

oh wait, I have my iPad and iPhone.

...aaaaand anytime you're looking at monitor specs, it says TFT or IPS. Not "TFT-TN" or "TFT-IPS".

TFT implies TN. Editors should know these things.

>> One current problem 'is that TFT displays like the iPad uses suck for reading because they aren't outdoor viewable and are very power hungry.

It's not a TFT display. It's IPS.

Geez...and this isn't news either.

You're making the assumption that the student needs to pay attention to learn.

My school was so boring and had such a lack of any extra opportunities that I slept through classes and taught myself more difficult subject matter at home. I frequently did my 'homework' in class. It was sad that it was too dreadfully easy.

"school time" is not their time, it is the student's time to learn. If the most productive way for the student to learn is to ignore you, then so be it.

The sad part is that throughout my school career I had to serve several detentions for being too productive: usually because a teacher insisted I copy their notes word for word off the projector, and I would refuse - citing my short notes as sufficient enough to retain all the important information.
