Isn't an UART at least partly an asynchronous chip? So you probably have got one your PC today...

And Chuck Moore's description of an asynchronous Forth chip is available in Google's cache (I don't know why he pulled it from the web site).

Or how about the US Govt. writing TIVO a letter admonishing them for their privacy policy tactics?
TIVO's response to getting slammed by some privacy group (which is cached on Google).
but mysteriously, I can't find it on their site.

Phiilips announces wquity investment in TIVO cached on Google.

To be perfectly clear, I like what TIVO can do, but not what they do.

Hell, I have a few complaints about ReplayTV:

• Latency with remote control can be infuriating. I wish there were 3rd party remote controls as my older model can't work without it and my wife has no concept of being gentle with it.
• Recently will not get as much advanced programming - only about a week now, when it used to do 2.5 weeks.
• New units charge programming fee, just like TIVO (the original reason I chose Replay over TIVO.
• Can't mod as easy as TIVO
• Tech support by 3rd party comany

At the end of the day though, I feel a lot more comfortable with Replay having my personal info than TIVO.

A year or so ago, I read an article on a guy who was monitoring the data that went from his TIVO out (used a computer as the go between) and found that they were transmitting more user specific data than they admited to. I'll try to find a link...

This Google-mash of a PDF gives a comparison of security betwen 802.11 and Bluetooth. Essentially it seems to conclude that it's much harder work to get into BT than 802.11 unless you do it during the initial pairing of the devices.

What isn't mentioned is that Bluetooth is almost continually changing frequency, so I guess you'd have to be pretty lucky to follow it for long enough to get something useful if you weren't known to the "network". I must confess to being completely ignorant of 802.11 - does it do this too, or is the frequency relatively fixed?

My Bluetooth headset died a couple of months ago. Mind you, I did drop the thing in a fish tank a few months before that...

This Google News thing is nothing new (just quite refined). It was available for a while in an older design. Google just finally got around to refining this and putting it on their little "tab navigation" strip. BTW, the "old" Google News logged (the link points to the new site, not a cached version, but notice the older dates of many of the search results) Slashdot stories as well.

Huh ... Google's cache of their own site is pretty out of date:

Over 1 month old!

Uh, why did that get moderated as a troll? Oh, right, Linux is absolutely perfect, and anyone who says otherwise must be a troll.

Come on, Linux's scheduler has long been known to have performance problems once you have a lot of processes/threads... for example, read this paper [text version] (appropriately subtitled "How I Learned to Love the Alpha and Hate the Scheduler"):

0.8.1 Create a fixed priority scheduler.
Currently, the Linux scheduler is very different than the traditional Unix schedulers. Although the Linux scheduler is very efficient when only several processes are running, it is not scalable. In order to match the performance of *BSD and other Unices, another scheduling algorithm must be used.

420 Million.

I'm not an Ellison fan by any means but I doubt he'd have to pull those stunts to raise the funds for his effort. Last year alone he made $700 million in cash exercising his options. In case you though he blew it all on a sail boat he still has $400 million worth of options that are in the money, even at the deflated stock price. Oh yeah, and that $700 million only represented about 2% of his Oracle holdings at the time.

If Oracle corporation is financially involved in this boat at all it's probably by buying sponsorship like any other corporation. Of course that eases the burden on Larry's pocketbook a bit, but in accouting terms since sponsorship is advertising and advertising is supposed to result in increased revenue in the future. So at least in that sense you can argue that he isn't pulling money out of his employee's paychecks to fund this effort.

Its fried and there is not even a comment...so here is the Google Cache. Sorry no link to the list of sites :(

Google Cache

Here is a HTML document of the USERS project description. It has just about everything about the project. Its pdf counterpart is also available.

Read Google Cache of VirtualDub's Vidomi News Page or Vidomi.com itself.

URLs of individual images can apparently be obtained by going to the google cache and copying the url of the link to the sub-page, and substituting the word "pages" in the url with "images" and "asp" with "jpg".

to bad the link got broke up but just copy-n-past it

Or you could have added the following text around the url: <a href="URL"> link text here </a>

The effect would have been something like this:

Hey troll, check the FBI.gov site. Youth violence in the USA has been going DOWN, not up.

here is a related link.

It's my opinion, and I'm no expert, that crime went down as the economy got better from the 80s to the late 90s. It makes sense to me but, as I said, I am no expert.

SQL Relay does this (site looks like it is down at the moment so I'm pointing to the google cache). It is a persistent database connection pooling, proxying and load balancing system for Unix and Linux supporting ODBC, Oracle, MySQL, mSQL, PostgreSQL, Sybase, MS SQL Server, IBM DB2, Interbase, Lago and SQLite with APIs for C, C++, Perl, Perl-DBD, Python, Python-DB, Zope, PHP, Ruby, Ruby-DBD and Java, command line clients, a GUI configuration tool and extensive documentation. The APIs support advanced database operations such as bind variables, multi-row fetches, client side result set caching and suspended transactions. It is ideal for speeding up database-driven web-based applications, accessing databases from unsupported platforms, migrating between databases, distributing access to replicated databases and throttling database access.

Here's a picture, but the image isn't very large.

The UK (PAL I) uses a 6MHz offset for audio, the continental European countries using PAL (B/G/H) are at 5,5MHz. I suppose it might be possible to modify the tuner though.

S.American PAL is different again (Uruguay/Paraguay/Argentina has one standard, Brasil has another for 60Hz). Where it's used in Asia it's often with European frequencies/offsets.

It's fairly similar to the US NTSC, except the phase changes each line, which means the colours don't fsck up so badly.

I'm still playing a really great 2d space shoot'em up called Subspace / Continuum made by Virgin Interactive Entertainment in the mid 95's.

VIE then dropped the game just after going retail.

It has really strong community supporting the game.

Now a new version of the game called Continuum has been reprogrammed from scratch to emulate the orginal version with added features.

Some links below.

The trend towards Massively Parallel Computers, such as the STARAN developed in the 50s/60s at Goodyear Aerospace Corporation by Ken Batcher were discarded for the most part. Pipelined machines were easier to design, cheaper to build, and easier to program (i.e. could use existing languages).

It would seem that a Massively Parallel Processor would be ideal for this applications, especially a STARAN with it's large Content Addressable Memory. Or do I, as a former STARAN user & developer of similar machines, just see this as a nail since I have the hammer in my posession?

Trollaxor.com. We hardly knew ye.

For the past couple of months I been checking www.objective-c.org it seems to have been taken over by some co. I have no idea about what happened to it.
I was planning to learn Objective-C, but I have no idea where their web site has been displaced to.
Anyone know what happend to the objective-c site?
Here is the google cache of the objective-c site before 'Arrow Ritcher' got it (who ever they are). I hope google dont ever update their cache, til I find where their site has gone to.

Miniatures were incorporated into digital environments throughout the film. "When you're working entirely in a computer generated environment, the possibility for where you can take the look is infinite," said Knoll. "Whereas when you're shooting with a miniature, because it is a real physical object, you have a grounding in reality." Snow's unit employed miniatures in the sequence that takes place in the Geonosian droid factory for just that reason.

I'd love to wait six hours to read a cool breaking story if it means I get to read the linked content or the mirrors have time to update.

Of course, the flip side is this: the grandparent post suggested slashdot "pull a google". Why reinvent the wheel? Why not just force editors to include links to the google cache whenever possible. Keep in mind that the cached page will have a link to see the uncached version, so people who want to get up-to-date information can. If the focus of the story is images rather than text, include some links to the google cache of the images (maybe below the fold if there's a lot of them, so they don't clutter up the main page).

Taco & the gang have this attitude that there's nothing they can do about it. I disagree. It wouldn't even have to be that hard.

Just my two and a half cents.

The Americans appear to have beaten the aussies in this race.

Several types of solar-power satellites have been proposed. They are projected, over 30 years, to deliver approximately 10,000 kWh of electric energy to Earth for each kilogram of mass in orbit around the planet. To sell electric energy at $0.01/ kWh, less than $60 could be expended per kilogram to buy the components of the power satellites, ship them into space, assemble and maintain them, decommission the satellites, and finance all aspects of the space operations. To achieve this margin,launch and fabrication costs would have to be lowered by a factor of 10,000.
