Slashdot Mirror

dnsart if you dont mind paying $40 a year..

Check this out. It has info about modifying the iPod firmware.

Personally, I'm holding out on the iPod until HFS+ works in Linux. It's kind of a disgrace to buy a PC iPod for use on a mac.

At my site I wrote a php script that accesses fortune. For a custom-reader, (also on the site for winshit and macintosh; Linux has fortune on its own :) I added "comment tags" around the fortune ittself that my client can parse out. A site I host wrote a similar client(tbr) for google's "did you mean" function.

I am wondering if a "reader" project will ever employ similar technology? It would be a lot easier if frames were still popular. The difficult part would be getting parser routines that adapt to unkown sites, but ones could easily be written for slashdot, freshmeat, etc.

Like any real geek, I'm coding on new years eve and day you insensitive clod!

If I submit my geek snowboarding game with Tux and Ellen Feiss to one of these "shame" lists, will it get /.ed?

If I replace the ENIAC boss with a "beat the living hell out of whoever submits top 10 lists to /." level will it get even more traffic!?

If I make my own top 10 list, will it get on slashdot? Will anyone bother to RTFA?

Too bad that TRS-80 dungeon game that tried to be realtime but couldn't keep up with my typing as a 10 year old isn't on the list. These lists are made to "suck up" to the average reader, not the average supergeek.

ASCII sucks! In the future, we will all be using AMAZA-COLOR ANSI graphics!

Aside from its dull graphics, phrack is a cool magazine and I recommend that everyone download it. If, by some act beyond our understanding, it gets /.ed, you can use my mirror here.

They are if you're on enough benadril! Ellen Feiss refference, I preffer Caffeine.

I also have a game that stars Tux and Ellen, among others.

We here on /. are to pathetic to have anything to do on saturday night.

Seriously though, I would never trust any "merger of my pc and entertainment center" such as the "HP Media Center PC." Just throw a video capture card (the Haupauge PCI TV card works fine w/ v4l) into a Linux box. It is neither difficult nor complicated. It seems like my server does nothing but host some websites and show TV. I recommend mplayer in spite of it playing Stargate in French occasionally.

was sub-par for a first job. I hope neither myself nor any of you are forced to do such a thing again.

As for working for free, I've been doing it as the lead programmer for this company that I started with my friends four years ago. I do it because its fun, not because I think that the stock will ever be worth anything. We are too kind hearted to charge for our software.

here, I'll submit it in a minute. Maybe I will get an interview after all!

He was in a "HomeBrew Computer Club". I'd love to have a similar thing at my school, but I just don't have time with the principal blackmailing me and all those useless classes like "English" that I'm stuck with next semester. That and in TN so many of my classmates are stupid that we only have one person of any intelligent interest. I hereby declare my server the new stomping grounds for the Jeffferson County High School Computer Club of Tennessee.

Oh well; guess I won't get an interview for a while.

In other news, Flame Entertainment is rumored to be illegally selling wireless access to their 512kb/s internet connection in the Jefferson City, TN area. No one else has 802.11b equipments; hence, no one cares.

(If my cable company is reading this; it's just a joke. Please don't cut me off; DSL is such a bitch. Much like you have become since you restricted me to one @$#@$ing IP you megalomaniacal sons of bitches!)

Microsoft is trying to "kill off" Java by making an inferior and incompatible alternative.

My snowboarding game for example, will not work on M$'s virtual machine while it works perfectly on every version of Java2 from Sun.

Should Micro$oft be able to include(and advertise) an orange with every copy of windows while calling it an apple?

Are open source projects ever really finished? The constantly evolve, gaining new features as they are needed. this for example has been updated 4 times in the past 5 days as evidenced by news postings here.

As the author I can attest that one hell of an update will be ready when I get home, along with some "political corrections". To compensate for the "political corrections", I'll make LibertarianTux playable.

if you can beat this game before January 1st.

The iPod uses RTXC, as detailed here.

But you're right, the Neuros OS looks similar to the iPod's.

An article about a game where you push buttons at the right time!? Why don't we make an article about how Flame Entertainmnet tried to give free fake email to the world, but had to recall it because those damn lusers couldn't handle it!? Why not make a @#$@#$ing article about the upcoming startrek movie or how hot Ellen Feist is!?

Making an article about a rare clone of a game that has a smaller audience than My Website does with only 293,833 hits at last count.

Next week from the "I don't give a fuck" department, Star Wars Episode 3 will contain Jar Jar but will not reveal the identy of that little twerp's father.

Would you rather be with a cool penguin(Tux for Linux), a fat guy in a butterfly suit(Fat Guy Who Thinks He's A Butterfly for Micro$oft)? Obviously the cool penguin.

Would rather be with the Fat Blue People(Blue Man Group for Intel) or Ellen Fiest(Hot Girl for Apple)?

In retrospect, that's why I run Linux on a Mac.

Here is my switch commercial

God rest ye CS students
let nothing you dismay
the vax is down and won't be up
until the first of may
The staff commited suicide
we'll bury them today

Oh tidings of comfort and joy
comfort and joy, comfort and joy.

If you find the rest of the song at my fortune site please email the whole thing to me.

My own Switch ad.

Is somehow less than a winshit xp one?

I hate to bring uptimes into this, but my tablet pc has more uptime than my servers thanks to a recent blackout. Without "sleeping" I doubt that one of these things could manage better uptime than a month. What good would one be if it crashes in the middle of a Quake 3 match?

If only Apple would release a tablet computer. My iBook is perfectly compatible with Linux (modem aside) and hasn't crashed in any of its three operating systems (OS 9, OS X, and Debian Woody). Power management is entirely software-controlled and easily disabled in Linux if I want to use my $1100 laptop as a fancy iPod.

But don't take my /. post for it, I have a "Switch" article at http://flame.dnsart.com/

Through Mac-On-Linux.

An mpeg version of the Ellen Feis video will be on my server, Flame Entertainment.

Flame Entertainment is working on a program called FlameBBS. It is a Java BBS software designed for Linux, but usable in any UNIX variant with a jvm.

This project isn't our highest priority, but it will be if enough interest(personal emails, voting in polls, etc) is expressed.

I was an avid BBSer myself five years ago, and the history needs to be preserved.

I am getting 512kb/s for $30 a month. It's only $20 for 256kb/s. I am using Charter cable, powered by HSA Corp. The only other choice is bellsouth DSL (BLECH).

I can run a server through it (here) and connect as many computers as I want directly to it.

If I got one of these graviton ray guns, could I get my site, http://flame.dnsart.com/ /.ed? I can see it now:
Programmer killed in moronic advertising stunt involving gravitron ray beam

And then people can reply with 300 comments of:
It's a graviton beam you moron.

But that won't be enough to take my server down. Nothing can harm a linux box, especially at 256 kilobits/second!

I'd give the project lik $20 or so if they would place a BIG sign on mars, readable from orbit, that says:
<Power to The User>

Then again, they would probably misfire, and I would be out $20, unless they refund donations.

.... to keep slim. Do you think that a diet consisting of 99% coke and 1% beef is easy!?

Actually, with the smooth refreshing taste of coke, the real stuff not vanilla or that diet shit, it's a piece of cake. A couple dozen cokes for breakfast, followed by a plain wendy's triple with cheese for lunch. Then a couple dozen cokes until steak for dinner and a couple dozen cokes to keep me awake long enough to get some work done.

This is not sarcasm. This diet REALLY works. Visit http://flame.dnsart.com/ for absolutely no mention of this diet. GARUNTEED.

How did that get modded funny? I am serious here. My win2k system at work (1.5ghz, 600 something mb of ram) is slow as hell. I move Forte to "real time" and my ogg vorbis player starts to skip! Funny how Forte runs perfectly on my 1ghz Linux system.

I think I'll buy some old lappies for my robotics projects. Nothing will ever match the thrill I had five years ago, dialing bulliten boards, 98% no longer existed, late into the night. I guess I was a bit behind the times, but making my own terminal emulator in BASIC to scan through the whole list I had on my 2400 kb/s(or was it baud?) modem while I slept was loads of fun.

For those that care, I'm now 16 years old and programming in Java for my first job. I am running a wargame server on torch.dnsart.com and my own programming group called Flame Entertainment.

The BBS days may be gone for good(and had been for several years when I found them), but their spirit will find a new home. I will never make another suffer through dos, though anyone under my legal custody will learn to use zsh before gaining access to X.

That is my testimonial. Take it at face value, or call me nuts. But that is what happened.

enough to FlameCrypt4 by Flame Entertainment (a Java program) in Windows without decription anomolies on any text over 20 characters in length?

In fact, there were so many problems, that we had to rerelease FlameCrypt 3 for our windows users. We are now in the process of porting the visual basic encryption code to Java, and making the encryption library J++ compatible so that it can be compiled as an activex control and used with the old interface.

Why the hell can't M$ conform to standards. FC4 works perfectly on Linux and OS X, and we have had no complaints from any operating sytem other than Windows.

Oh well, my rant is over. I need to get back to work modifying FC4 to work with Windows. Or blowing my braincells away in FF-VIII on my playstation through xawtv. The latter will certainly frustrate me less.

We here at Flame Entertainment are ashamed that Baby Smells would ever do such a thing. After forcing us out of the teddy bear and wireless ultra super mega long range no roaming can you hear me know cordless unphreakable phone business, they threatened to murder our mascot if we didn't give into their demands.

We are making a demand. $20 payable in 2000 installments of $0.01 apiece over a period of 2000 years, or we join the lawsuit.

I should have been a country-western singer. After all, I'm older than most western countries. -- George Burns I am pressed for time, so I only refreshed my Fortune Website 10 or so times in the humorist category.

It doesn't matter when it is released, there will already be a NetBSD port. Flame Entertainment

Personally I think that it is a much better name than mandrake, but the fact is that I use mandrake.

The reason is not that debian's installer crashes on my laptop and mandrake's runs perfectly. It is not that debian still uses the 2.2 kernel. It is not the ease of hardware detection and software installation in mandrake.

It is the culmination of all these things. If debian would simply shape up and work on their installer, upgrade their kernel, and their hardware detection method I would switch. A completely GPL distrobution is extremely appealing, but ease of use it what it boils down to.

I use linux on all of my systems because it is the easiest form of unix, the easiest operating system on earth. VMS has funky commands, and we all know the problems with windos. Linux is the most logical system, and roadblocks like licensing fees may kill it.

Don't get me wrong, I understand that distro companies need to turn a profit, but most distros offer a more complete edition with proprietary software thrown in. I buy that software to support the company.

Proprietary licensing can and will kill gnu software.

Please /. my website for me. We really do need more traffic.

Doesn't everything come from the simpsons? Honestly, the only better source to quote from is the hitchhiker's guide.

In truth, the unix fortune program is the master of a quoteable sources. That is why I made a web interface to fortune.

I just run multiple X sessions on my computers. First first four are text, the second four run gdm(kdm ruins fullscreen in mandrake) and the last 2 get status reports streamed to them by my server software. Now if only I had a true supercomputer. Maybe I could pretent to and get my site /.ed!!!

p.s. My supercomputer, flame.dnsart.com, is offering free vnc and shell accounts to any |my website for more information.

why not get a static hostname? It's free.
