We had an interesting thread about Qemu...
It's closed too...

QEMU is a project that is moving at a nice clip, using dynamic code-recompilation (decompile x86 into C, recompile using gcc).

The author, Fabrice Bellard, is a madman. Anyone with experience and time should join his team. You can already run Wine on PPC (fast, because of dynamic translation), and they are very close to getting the Virtual Machine (an x86 virtual pc) running on PPC (it runs now on x86).

This project aims at not just being a contender for emulation, but eventually blowing all the competition away due to it's ability to recompile everything into native PPC (or MIPS or ...), caching it's results.

There is a protest over European patents going on, but you can visit the project site at http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/

The only Casimir effect i've heard of nearly lobotomized a whole generation of french kids 25 years ago !

Although still young QEMU already supports this, on PowerPC Linux no less. All it needs is an OS X port.

Now all it needs is a port to OS X (hint, hint)

Qemu emulates an x86 chip (among other things). It runs WINE. It's been ported to PowerPC Linux. While it's still very young, it shows tremendous promise.

Now all it needs is a port to OS X. Any takers?

two IA-32 emulators but both need a lot of work

Feh.

You have spoken correctly. I think if anyone plays some violent 1:1 fighter or FPS, and goes on a rampage, there's something seriously wrong with that person mentally. I play 1:1 fighters regularly (including the user-extensible fighter MUGEN) and some of the ones I play are quite graphic. A person doesn't play a game and set out to emulate the game by going on a violent rampage, unless that person is mentally ill.

What about DivX support in ffmpeg? What about XviD?

Don't tell her that there is a Java applet version of Frozen Bubble...

Here's another link to info on Tesla's wirless power transmission technology, and a gooogle search.

What a pretty girl!

Fine looking body too!

Oh Nice panties...

Someone's looking horny...

Oh that feels good I bet...

Ooo, Kinky!

Damn, what a dirty slut!

Have a lolli...

Yummy!

That's a bit I rounded up quickly on google, I can't just be browsing around the net with a massive boner popping up in my shorts with folks wandering about the apartment you know...look for the blacks on blondes photo set if you can though it's fantastic...actually it looks like she likes to get boned by huge blacks dongs frequently cuase there are more sets like that!

Altogether, I think that Blender is a very attractive choice for the 3D hobbyist--someone who enjoys 3D and graphics but is never going to make a living from it. After all, why shell out $1000+ when a little extra effort can get 95% of the features for free? If you plan to have a career in 3D, or have lots of money, it's probably worth it, but as one who's just in it for the fun, the eye candy, and the challenge of making things work, open source offers me four very decent tools to use together: Blender, Wings3D, Yafray, and The Gimp. All of these work to some degree on Windows, Mac, and Linux, sometimes more. There's never been a better time to get into 3D. And aspiring graphic artists shouldn't turn up their noses at such free tools either. Although you could be more immediately useful to a studio by knowing Maya/Max/Softimage/etc, simply using 3D and graphics programs of any kind will teach you tons that can easily extend to whatever programs you use later.

... on the Nokia 9210 (or 9290 for those in the US) for some time... both VNC and SSH ports have been available for (as far as I remember) over a year... ssh.com used to do a client too, but I can't see it on their site any more... I've found the ssh client very useful, e.g. it means I can set a task (e.g. a long compile) going, leave, then check up on it later from wherever I happen to be...

The world needs no more than one computer, it's just very spread out.

A friend of mine had a Casio vdb-1000 well over 10 years ago. If anything it seems smaller than the fossil.

there's one here: http://oootools.free.fr/memoire_cnam/ in french.
Others (still in french): http://bureautiquelibre.org/

If you don't use Opera, then you can use some CSS to achieve pretty much the same.

I won't reiterate what other's have posted in this thread but I'd like to add that TCC (Tiny CC) has an option for bound checking also.

TCC also lets you interpret C code on the fly as a scripting language (ie. without compiling it). Funky stuff.

Oh come on now, THE best site to go to for this stuff is:

http://jnaudin.free.fr/lifters/main.htm

He's a little kooky with his free-energy and UFO stuff, but you have to give him a hand with all the various experiments, videos, and analysis, designes, etc. that he's accomplished. I also love his Frenchy "This iz Jean Louis Naudin. I now turn ON zee lifterrr" in his real videos too.

A few friends of mine and I managed to build a working lifter using the usual balsa, foil, wire and an old monitor. We talked to a Physics Prof, and his conclusion was the best test to determine if it's ionic wind that's propeling the device or not (since vacuum will cause breakdown) is to test it inside a container of helium. The order of magnitude less of atomic weight should significantly reduce any effects of ionic wind, hence test if that's what causes it to fly.

People already run these things off of a monitor power supply. Somewhere in here are the makings of a sweet case mod.

Have a look at this (Aki Ross nude) for an idea of where 3D cinema will be going pretty soon.

What the author of the Wired article failed to mention, unfortunately, was that an experimenter by the name of Jean-Louis Naudin has been experimenting with Lifters for some time now, and has done a number of experiments which prove that Lifters do not use ion wind for their propulsion.

The experiments he conducted include one where the aluminum and copper wire were unlinked from each other and the copper wire is placed in a sealed vacuum tube, then once the power is switched on a propulsive force is seen.

And another experiment has the aluminum portion of the lifter fully enclosed in a cardboard box and the unlinked copper wire is then lowered near the box and an upward motion is still seen when the device is powered up.

Then yet another experiment shows that the lifter device can still generate an upward propulsive force even when fully enclosed in a plastic bag.

I should hope that based on the evidence presented here one can come to the conclusion that this matter is far from settled and that Lifters depend on something else entirely different from Ion Wind for their propulsion.

Interesting, shows the airflow.. but they also do an insulator that shows lift WITHOUT airflow.

A guide to building your own "lifter", sort of

Perhaps you should build your own? Antigravity?Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. A cool toy? You bet.

This triple loop roller coaster was
present on a fair in Germany. It was quite a few years ago.

The website talks about more than 5g's.
On the fair, it was advertised as offering up to 7g's.
I experienced no discomfort at the ride.

No mplayer ? hello ?

Just to nitpick, I think you got those from Christian Marillat's apt source; they're not in Debian proper.

dselect and installer do suck, yes. But it's worth the pain IMHO.

dselect sucks and is not worth the pain. aptitude, on the other hand, is Very Good. (Incidentally, I wonder if on Red Hat + APT, I can browse packages like I do with aptitude's UI...)

Why PHP is better than Perl!!

It looks like it can be ported to a lot of other platforms as well, if this is any indication.

Oh, those guys? Pathetic losers. Try something that is really new.

I haven't tried this, but it seems reasonable that one could use xmodmap and showkey to map any keyboard button to `apm -s` (suspend to ram) or `apm -S` (suspend to disk).

ITYM "use xbindkeys to bind an arbitrary key to any command". xmodmap will not do this; all xmodmap does is map a key to another key. Also note that xbindkeys has a GUI called "gtk-xbindkeys" that may be on your distro CDs. I've posted a complete guide to this junk in the past; use groups.google comp.os.linux.x , keyword "xbindkeys". HTH,

It's probably worth mentioning: KDE comes with a GUI regexp constructor. Googling for alternatives shows a similar Windows app.

Why does nobody "pirate" books, magazines and newspapers? Answer: because there is no saving to be made. It's cheaper to pay for the damn things, or just read them in the store {when you're skint, a fast reader and live in a city with plenty of book stores, it's very possible to do this}.

So it is with Nintendo's weirdy discs. Hard to get hold of, non-standard format, misleading rumours as to how this was achieved {I have heard someone swear blind that NSM used reverse-spinning CDs in pub CD players ..... an obvious lie if you've ever watched one doing its thing, but people will fall for anything as this link shows}.

By the time anyone gets through the protection, Nintendo will already have made enough money off the GameCube not to be bothered about people making copies of games.

This is so much a non-story that I can't be bothered to go *ting!* Next please.

I love how this was modded up as 'informative.' Did anyone actually check out this site before doing a mod? It should have been modded as 'funny,' as this site is a spoof. Check out the other link on the site:

looks like a hoax to me for a few reasons like this page

For those of who who still don't get it, this is a joke. If it isn't, then I want you to explain how I can play GameCube games on my Game Boy Advance, Atari 2600, WonderSwan, TI calculator, Tamagotchi, and digital camera.

Honestly, some of you people are so gullible, you make Michael Sims look as smart as me, Seth Finklestein, acclaimed freedom fighter.

Has anyone heard of even plans for a GC emulator?

Here's a very preliminary one. Of course, any current console requires *much* faster PC hardware than is currently available in order to emulate it properly. Even the existing N64 emulators use lots of "accuracy optional" HLE hacks in order to achieve decent speed. I'm sure by the time Gamecube emulation becomes viable, acquiring hacked ISOs of the mini discs won't be necessary - and Nintendo won't care quite so much since most everyone will have moved on to far better consoles than are now available.

Maybe now somebody will come up with a decent version of pacman.

Too late.

You might want to use a utility like DTemp or hddtemp to check your drive's temperature, and improve your cooling if your temps are over 35C. I've been using a Chieftec Dragon case for my home box for a few years now, which has a really nice drive cage with an integrated 80mm fan that blows fresh air directly over the drives, and my temps are rarely over 30C.
