  1. Lecture videos for one course by bartc · · Score: 4, Informative · on MIT Open Courseware with 500 Courses

    For anyone interested in the MIT course 6.004 Computation Structures: the lectures are very similar to ArsDigita University's "How Computers Work".

    ArsDigita University put all its lectures online in realvideo format. Here's mirror of the "How Computers Work" course.

  2. Jukebox by RinkSpringer · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Build a Multi-Output MP3 Server?

    You may be interested in Jukebox, it's what I wrote for our student union and it works like a charm.

    If you launch multiple copies of it (it's written in C++ and not very memory-hungry), you can easily use it to serve over multiple sound cards.

    I currently run it on Linux and FreeBSD.

  3. Alternative BitTorrent tracker by bartc · · Score: 1 · on Mac OS X NWN Technology Demo Released

    I've set up an alternative tracker. The torrent is at http://www.il.fontys.nl/~bart/NeverwinterNightsTec hDemo.dmg.bz2.torrent.

  4. Hasn't this already been done? by SEWilco · · Score: 2, Funny · on Purdue Builds Quantum-Computing Semiconductor

    Isn't a cup of really hot tea also a semiconductor?

    When we finally get robots that can understand Asimov's Laws of Robotics, and we learn how to program them in, they won't be the altruistic platitudes the writer handed down to us. They're going to look more like this:

    1. Make me rich.
    2. Don't fuck with me.
    3. Fuck everyone else.     /

    And like all such genies in a bottle, your wishes will be interpreted, not compiled.
    The robot will read "me" as meaning "me", not you. "everyone else" will mean you.

    Futurama's "Bender" will be stuck with Genuine People Personality by
    the marketing department of the Syrius Cybernetics Corporation

    Strike one for robo-psychology.

    Anyone else want to take a stab at making three wishes ?
