Slashdot Mirror

I can't find anything that suggests that. Looking at the Recent Changes on the earliest archived copy of Wikipedia, there are a few Jargon File titles and that, but most of it is general in nature, from religion to biology and much wider. Maybe the Jargon File etc. were just ways to building up the article base harmlessly? I don't see anything wrong with that.

Wikipedia started out as the progeny of Nupedia, a very serious, peer-reviewed encyclopedia which managed to produce all of two dozen articles. If you look at the Wayback Machine in July 2001, you will find that Wikipedia early on was actually quite philosophy-centric (in part because the original, full-time chief editor, Larry Sanger, is a philsopher).

Of course we have Slashdot readers among our editors, including myself. But we also have credentialed experts and amateurs from many different fields. We try to make it as easy as possible to join in, and many people who know nothing about computers do. If you (the reader, not the parent poster) know a way to make Wikipedia easier to use, please do not hesitate to submit a feature request.

We don't go around deleting articles on geeky subjects if they're well-written and encyclopedic. But Wikipedia never aimed exclusively at a nerdy audience and its editors were never made up exclusively of members of that audience.

My god. This comment is enough to bring me out of a nearly year-long hiatus from posting to /..

Of course there is other evidence. Try this. In fact, there is no evidence to support that Bush was not AWOL. In this case, since the military should have been keeping meticulous records, it is a reasonable conclusion that Bush was AWOL in lieu of any credible evidence to suggest that he did in fact show up for his duty at wartime.

By your idea of "logic," because there is no document saying there is not an invisible pink unicorn flying above your head, there must be. Here, there should be documentation of his service, but there isn't. Were this a case where we shouldn't expect records to exist, you'd be right. However, at fault is your assumption that a (fictious) lack of evidence to incriminate Bush in fact clears him. It does not. Furthermore, as I specified above, there is evidence to incriminate Bush. Take this quote from the article:

And Bush himself, in his 1999 autobiography, ''A Charge to Keep,'' recounts the thrills of his pilot training, which he completed in June 1970. ''I continued flying with my unit for the next several years,'' the governor wrote.

But both accounts are contradicted by copies of Bush's military records, obtained by the Globe. In his final 18 months of military service in 1972 and 1973, Bush did not fly at all. And for much of that time, Bush was all but unaccounted for: For a full year, there is no record that he showed up for the periodic drills required of part-time guardsmen.

I rest my case. Here, we have evidence to specifically incriminate him, and none to save him. Until further evidence is produced on this issue, there is no logical conclusion but that he failed in his duty, then lied about it.

Bacteriophage appears to be an alternative to antibiotics for fighting bacteria. An article (you have to pay to access it) in Discover Magazine by Peter Radetsky about bacteriophage was published in November, 1996. It was mentioned by a man named Caisey Harlingten in a Horizon documentary on the BBC, and seems to have been an important publication that set things into motion. What isn't mentioned in the transcript is that right at the end of the documentary, text appears that says the deal between the American company called Georgia Research, Inc. set up by Harlingten and the Eliava Institute fell apart.

Wired wrote a follow up article on the story. One of the disputes involved another man, Alexander Sulakvelidze, opposing the seemingly pointless aim to genetically engineering phages, which Harlingten wanted to do. This possibly has something to do with the fact that genetically engineered products are protected by patents and can be regulated by intellectual property laws, whereas natural phages are not. This is what Harlingten is up to now. He is trying to apply phage therapy to multi-drug resistant Tuberculosis . And this is what Sulakvelidze is up to now, applying phage therapy to livestock.

Evergreen State College and the Rowland Institute at Harvard have pages about bacteriophage. Phage therapy may have some side effects, however. Some types of phage carry genes that can actually make bacteria pathogenic (briefly mentioned at end of page). This has been observed in E. Coli as a response to antibiotics.

Internet Archive version.

Rich.

FreeCache is the one that caches files over 5MB, Coral caches everything it can.

Folks have posted Mathematica and other code here, which, while very elegant, treats this as a math problem. However, the problem can be viewed as a simple text processing task and solved by standard Unix tools, pretty much on the command line. The first step is to get the file ee710.txt from Project Gutenberg, e.g. here. Then it's a simple matter of using an AWK or Python script to generate ten-digit substrings and pipe them into factor.

Whine about it for awhile longer. Then use the Wayback Machine.

Thanks to archive.org an older version of the site with some concept art showing the martians and fighting machines.

The gallery on the new site has no glimpse of anything non-human.

Oh wait, that's right, there is none.

I'd say that the time of recess between the general community being aware of a vulnerability and a workable patch being available is a pretty good measure. But, according to this article, In 1999, Red Hat's "at risk" time was half that of Sun's (presumably then-current versions of Solaris), and a third of Microsoft's (presumably Windows NT 4). And that's with all the stuff that's included in the RH distribution for which there aren't equivalents included in Windows or Solaris.

Of course, it would be interesting to get more up-to-date stats, or stats for distros that are touted by some as being more security-conscious (e.g. Debian, OpenBSD).

MoveOn.org originally claimed to be bipartisan. You can see it yourself in their FAQ at the time:

What was Censure And Move On?

Censure and Move On was a bipartisan group of concerned citizens organizing around a single cause: reaching closure on the Clinton scandal.

It has since grown, taken on new goals, and attracted the attention of various notable liberals, including George Soros (who donated a sizable chunk of money to them).

In other words, MoveOn.org demonstrated they weren't bipartisan at all. I sometimes wonder how many of their original "members" are kicking themselves for falling for it.

Man, /. REALLY hammered this page. It's been completely taken offline. Check the Google cache by going to Google and entering "cache:www.ultimatesecurehome.com" in the search box, or go to The Internet Archive and use their Wayback Machine to pull up the page. Interesting stuff, though it takes some effort to pull up thanks to us geeks ^_^

I had linux running on my Sharp Actius 100 about 4 years ago. There was even a driver that worked with the modem, as I recall. Let's see.... yeah, here's the archive of my install experiences.

Why rely on memory when you can watch the actual "Duck and Cover" film, courtesy of the Internet Archive?

It's kind of spooky how quickly paranoia has come back into fashion. I wonder if Bert the Turtle is looking for work :-)

Thats right kids, you too can download an mpeg motion picture, that could save your life today!

Watch Duck&Cover online;

There was a turtle by the name of Bert. And Mr. Turtle was very alert.

When danger threatened he never got hurt. He knew just what to do.

He ducked and cover.

Duck and Cover.

He did what we all must learn to do. You and you and you and you.

If you've never seen it, watch it and be very afraid.

You mean this movie?

Remember what Bert the Turtle does!

I made an adapter for my SNES controller that hooks up to the parallel port. The parallel port method seems much easier, any idiot with a soldering iron could make it. I can't find the diagram for the one I made, but this is similar. I don't understand why you would make a NES controller adapter, the SNES controller is almost exactly the same with the added benefit of being able to play SNES games.

And you imply that this 877 number existed when the movie was made. A quick search for the number you gave found this link. A check on archive.org found that page was first archived on July 6, 2004, almost two weeks after Fahrenheit 9/11 was released in theaters.

Following the links in the Archive.org site I've found som interesting things...

So it seems that some cameras can be done remotely without mechanical crap. Never found any of this in my previous research! Apparently, according to one site, some folsk run video cameras up with the kite so they can see what the camera will be taking pics of and even zoom using these dgital switches. Interesting stuff....

Coralisation after slashdoting is useless.
Google cache is shot on images.
Well I guess people could try the internet archive... at least they have a chance to see something (not too much tho) :)

You can see the pics via www.archive.org...oh darn, just crashed another site!

Since the site is slashdotted and the google-cache miss the pictures.

...or for something more closely approaching the original link, the most recent internet archive of the /.ed site. Unfortunately it looks like most of the images were not archived. :(

IIRC, the Amiga prototype was offered to Atari first, is that right? Then the Tramiels whipped together the 130/260/520 STs to compete with what they knew was coming, with obviously only the 520 and 1040 being shipped initially.

I loved my Atari's, from my first 800, two 800xl's, and massively hacked 520ST. With the desktop addons, I always thought it was more polished than my friends Amiga, but I could never put my finger on why.

For the best Blast from the Past, check out Archive.org and their archive of Computer Chronicles, particulary this ST v. Amiga shootout.

...old news

After all, it wasn't that long ago when they unplugged zeitgeist.

Wait until the pr0n-makers make a knock-off. I'm sure that there must be a "Jurassic Pork" flick out there. Gack, why did I bother even searching? Some other weird stuff too.

No government can distinguish between a differing opinion and intent to harm.

They'd ban this, for example:

I'm a big a fan of Mark Cuban as anyone, but the truth is more important. HD-Net is not the first channel to broadcast exclusively in HD, and Mark isn't even the first to broadcast more than one channel of HD at the same time.

Unity Motion was the first, a dedicated HD-only satellite system featuring three 24 hour, 1080i channels. In 1998. Dead by 1999. But I still have one of the receivers.

sucks.

it is ugly and doesn't give you the information you are looking for as quickly as the old one. The old one the /. editors show you, of course, is from nineteen ninety freaking eight, so of course this is an upgrade from that.

But it's a downgrade from the real previous version, which is eb.archive.org/web/20031223123707/www.mozilla.org/

the mozilla devs should be ashamed of themselves. The site looks like just another crappy commercial web page with an ad in the middle. The mozilla organization should know that a website should not have an ad in the middle, it should be more interactive than that.

Why not actually compare it to the previous design they had?

I agree there are problems with not having a paper trail, but I urge everyone to not buy into the panic created by this scam artist...according to her there is no need to vote since it won't count anyway. Most legitimate organizations fighting against these machines distance themselves from her conspiracy nutjob fantasies. If you want to get involved, contact your local representatives and stay away from the internet "activists". She's not the savior of the voting Democrats, she's admittedly neither a voter nor a Democrat and yes, she certainly IS trying to make money from all of this.

Bev Harris (aka BJ Dudley) is a "literary publicist" who steals money from her clients and does not do the work(1). An "author" who uses other people's work and claims it as her own and whose idea of solid evidence in her "book" is pasting something she sees written anonymously on an internet message board(2). A master at figuring out ways to profit from other people's hysteria, she'll tattoo a "donate here" button on her forehead if she thinks it will get her a buck(see her website). A stalker who brags about hiding in the bushes with her pal Andy and a tape recorder to harrass various voting machine company employees(3). A litigation-happy work-avoiding scam artist who is constantly looking for a way to sue someone (ANYONE) to get rich (or at least get some attention) and drag herself out of her overweight-aging-bored housewife lifestyle(4). A liar, a thief, and suffering from severe paranoia (mostly due to the fact that she is constantly screwing over her friends and associates), she has a history of accusing members of her own BBV movement of betraying her during amusing meltdowns on public internet message boards(5)(8)(10)(11).

Her most blatant attempt of profit oriented sleaziness to date has been filing a 'Qui Tam' lawsuit against Diebold in a state she doesn't live in (CA) while simultaneously accusing (and viciously attacking) everyone in her early organization of doing the same and pronouncing a Qui Tam as something she wouldn't "soil herself" with(6)(7)(9).

Before deciding to "investigate" Diebold and riling up the extreme liberal internet message boards to fund her "work avoidance" lifestyle, Bev tried to make money from the sex scandal surrounding Bill Clinton. I give you, the Clinton Cigar presented by Bev Harris:

Now, well, it's still in progress, and there are lots of other commercial games that have caught up with it and surpassed it. I guess one of the main issues is that OSS takes time to gain momentum, and Games that are Cutting Edge have a very short life. So, OS Games have to be either knockoffs, or out of date by the time they're released; the only exception I can see is when the game is a spinoff from some other game that meets one of the above criteria.

Someone needs to do to OpenOffice what Firefox did to Mozilla.

Slim the program down. Get some artists, UI persons and marketers on board to work on the interface and the public image. The OpenOffice.org website is styled exactly like Mozilla.org in 2000, it doesn't make me want to try out their software.

Contrast this with the clean new Mozilla.org and their spotlight on the new flagship product Firefox. Click the huge Download button Mozilla.org and the download starts, OpenOffice.org wastes my 15 seconds of attention already on the front page. Back in the browser history I, and Joe User, go. I'll return in a few years to see if OO.o has gone anywhere, but Joe might not.

It's always worth trying the Wayback Machine. I've found documentation for lots of old hardware from defunct companies there. Also Usenet, via Google Groups.

Most translators, as well as archive.org implement a URL rewriter to force links to their own server. This would be a pretty neat addition.

On the other hand, the Google cache doesn't (it is only for seeing the cache one page, though).

• google cache (this has been periodically blocked at my company)
• the internet archive
• online translation sites (eg. if it's an english site, have the translator go from japanese to english... none of the words will be recognized as japanese, so it will pass them all as-is)
• several others I'm forgetting at the moment...
