Or better yet have the Gamecube emulator up and running on it

Or better yet have the Gamecube emulator up and running on it

well, that's what apt is for..

Why don't you look at the bottom right corner of their page doofus.

Mach-O binaries loading

Mach system calls handling

Minimal Mach ports, messages and rights support, so that simple program are able to link and run.

Signals handling (except for siginfo) Minimal multithreading support

Support in ktrace/kdump to display Mach messages (useful for debugging)

Hacks to get mach_init starting (and to get it behaving as bootstrap mach_init)

Support for port rights carried by Mach messages
Here is what is in the TODO list:

Implement Mach notifications for destroyed ports, dead names, and no sender ports

Re-implement enough of Darwin's IOKit to get

WindowServer actually displaying something.

Use COMPAT_MACH for COMPAT_OSF1 (Tru64 binary emulation on NetBSD/alpha), to get multithreading working.

Get Darwin binaries to link and run on NetBSD/i386

Actually, when compared with what a simple CSS and DOM modification can do to make a smallscreen version of a page (As demonstrated here), Opera's method stops looking all that impressive.

erm.. oops. Scratch that.

What? XBox isn't emulated? GameCube wins again...

It's funny. Laugh.

You've essentially given the power series representation for 4*ATAN(1) which will converge to pi, albeit very slowly I believe O(-4). There are some great formulas due to Ramanujan that have quartic O(4) and quintic O(5) convergence.

In English the series you've given will give an additional correct digit of pi for every 4 (on average) more terms you calculate. A quintic algorithm will give you five *times* more correct digits for each additional term. See here

I believe most of the calculations done now on supercomputers use quartic algorithms for memory efficiency though I don't know what they used for this latest one.

You could beat this record with a home computer and some time. Download PiFast and get running. The record for a home computer is 13 billion digits, in 500 hours. On a state-of-the-art overclocked P4 with 2 gigs of RAM, I'm pretty sure you could beat the 1.24 trillion world record within a nominal time. I mean, just in case you feel like you have lots of money to waste.

1. create some kind of record (data object) by completing a form
2. see this information later in a read-only mode
3. modify it in an editable mode

If your goal is just to reduce friction, why not simply float the train on an air cushion, like a hovercraft? It seems like it would eliminate a lot of the complexity.

Sounds like Philip K. Dick's " Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep "?

"My schedule for today lists a six-hour self-accusatory depression," Iran said.

"What? Why did you schedule that?" It defeated the whole purpose of the mood organ. "I didn't even know you could set it for that," he said gloomily.

Look at the recent past.
"A new economical model for software development seems to emerge. The Open Source Software model will certainly not replace the current commercial model but it can challenge it significantly and even prevail in certain areas such as operating systems and programs constituting the "infrastructure" of the Internet."

Look at the standards board .
"we now have a chance to examine these systems in detail, and see if their evolutionary narratives are significantly different from commercially developed systems."

Look outside of 'the monopoly' for future trends.
"The very possibility of competing head-on with Microsoft, critics argue, is enough to discourage competitors from developing rival products, which stifles technological innovation in the entire software industry. Many corporate clients, in the meantime, will accept mediocre software as long as it meets immediate needs and works with existing systems."

And finally, stop screwing around with slashdot and go do the research. Just please, try to stay on topic and don't get lost in rhetoric.

This is different ...this Opera thingy is actually doing reformatting of the page, after a full analysis of the layout... Even though I don't know how well this works, it seems like a extremely clever algoritm...

Actually, you can do the same thing in the gecko engine (or any other CSS compliant browser), it's just a stylesheet:

Well there's a batch of poeple recently interested in so called Ornythopters (ornitho is for birds) with flapping wings.
Apparently quite difficult, the first real sized one rose 2 meters high on its maiden flight. Small scale one can fly but seem quite difficult to drive where you want.

Nope. I think that became lha on the 'miggy, predating lzx.

>Woomera, which was an area used for nuclear bomb testing and military practice in the 1950s ...by the US military, incidentally. thanks for that.

The area became a nuclear testing ground based on a treaty between the Australian and British govermnents.

Accords et traités avec les pays du Commonwealth
Australie et Royaume-Uni
An agreement on the construction of a rocket-testing range in central Australia (the Woomera range was announced on May 13, 1947. The cost of maintaining the range, used in a joint British-Australian scheme for the development of guided weapons, is shared by the two govermnents under an agreement of Sept. 13, 1953.
On April 4, 1955, it was announced that the Australian and British Govemments had agreed on the establishment of a new atomic testing ground, to be known as Maralinga, in the South Australian desert.

Apparently the Australian govermnent liked whatever the British offered in the deal.

But heay, you're still right! It was used for military practice and nuclear testing! Damn Americans! Damn Americans! Damn Americans! (Disclaimer! This sectaion may contain! Sarcasm!)

When Red Hat 8 came out, I decided to have a go at this Linux malarky, I've been using a combination of 2K and XP without too many problems, and was pretty content, but had the need to experiment.

So I downloaded the ISO's, installed the thing(took five gos before it would boot properly, but thats a different story) then decided to connect to the internet. Now living in the UK and being lucky enough to have a broadband connection, I possess one of the alcatel green frog modems. OK my modems not supported, I'll reboot into the W2K partition and get some support, finding this site. WTF. Now I believe Alan Cox is British and a red hat designer of note, so why in the hell is my modem, pretty damn popular in the UK not supported, that I find, to paraphrase from one of my favorite movies, is fucking inconceivable.

Flash KoF

VERY impressive. Shows what you can do with flash if you are determined enough. I heard something about a flash version of Street Fighter Alpha but was unable to find any info on it.

You can see the proof for minesweeper being NP at:

(includes really pretty diagrams :)

Avidemux might work out. It can load and edit avi or mpeg, and save to either as well as traditional vcd. Unfourtunatly I can't say how it works since for some reason on my system it's not seeing the libraries needed for that.

you forgot Kile

Many Linux distributions ship with a heavily (and I mean heavily) patched up version of Vixie-cron as the default cron package. This is what many people refer to in this thread when they say "Linux cron".

There are other cron packages out there for Linux; for example, fcron. Section 2.2 of the fcron FAQ says:

First, you must understand that fcron determines, for each job, its next time and date of execution. It then determines which of those jobs would be the next to run and then, sleeps until that job should be run. In other words, fcron doesn't wake up like Vixie cron each minute to check all job in case one should be run ... and it avoids some problems associated with clock adjusts.

This means that if the new time value is set into the past, fcron won't run a particular job again. For instance, suppose the real time and system clock are 3:00, so the next job cannot be scheduled to run before 3:00, as it would have already been run and re-scheduled.

First, suppose you set your system clock into the past, say to 2:00, Presuming that the last run was shortly before 3:00. then fcron will sleep until the next job should be executed. The execution time for a job is determined by identifying the last time that the job ran and computing the next scheduled time. This means that the next scheduled time must be on or after 3:01. Therefore, in this example, fcron will not run a job for at least one hour.

Next, if you set the system time into the future, say to 4:00, fcron will run every job scheduled between the old and the new time value once, regardless of how many times it would have been scheduled. When fcron wakes up to run a job after the time value has changed, it runs all the jobs which should have run during the interval because they are scheduled to run in a past time.

As special case is when "@xxx" style scheduling rules are involved, you must consider the "adjustment-interval". The "adjustment-interval" is the time difference between the original system time and the new system time. If the ... run at "adjust-interval" too early or too late depending of the nature of the adjust.

To conclude, fcron behaves quite well for small clock adjusts. Each job which should have run does so once, but not exactly at the correct time as if the job were scheduled within the adjustment interval. But, if you have to make a big change in the time and date, you should probably reset all the scheduled "nextexe" by running "fcrontab -z" on all the fcrontabs.

And to further complicate matters, most commercial Unix-type OS's are either completely independent of Vixie-cron or they genetically "diverged" from Vixie-cron so long ago that they bear only faint resemblance to the original.

Maybe those technical people who you are questioning worked on a non-Linux system that doesn't suffer from the idiosyncrancies of Vixie-cron, or maybe they use fcron.

I'm serious.

On the Newton, to move data for use in iSync, I can simply connect via ethernet or PPP/SLIP. I don't need to rely on some proprietary syncing/comm protocol like on the PalmOS. Converting between NewtonScript objects and SyncML also will be a pretty straightforward operation.

The easiest way to do this would be to create a web app, a module for NPDS (Newton Personal Data Sharing) or use Steve Weyer's Sloup.

There's a reason the Newton platform has kept on kicking, it is still a very easy platform to code for, user and developer friendly.

you are so right. I cannot believe how great this program is. Not only beautiful and relatively accurate... but accurate in real time... I mean... check out your location on earth, at sunset, your location is spinning around from the light to dark side. I checked my position at midnight, yup, far side of the earth.

This program is about to take up a huge amount of my time... it's the most awesome thing. I too just heard of it, here at slashdot, in the "Window OSS" story. Um, I might as well mention Stellarium again, since it's also a beautiful astronomical program, GPLed and OPENGL-based. (It simulates accurate skies like Starry Nights (a commercial program) only more beatiffully, GPLed, and, like Celestia, on Windows and Unix both.

Young programmers are shaming me! I've wanted to make these programs for years and didn't have "time". Or I used to think it was time keeping me from them. In a way it's pathetic how excited I am about this programs!

Oh, by the way, as for education... my 8 year old home-schooled daughter is in love with this program... it's fantastic to see her use it (it's hard to find things when it's accurate scale, try finding the ISS, it's practically on the surface!). Of course, she's very into astronomy, and knows the planets in order and all that, so she was primed to appreciate the beauty of this.

it is most godlike of you to mention this incredible program that I had not ever used before! I cannot believe how cool this is. Especially since I just a week or two ago went searching for such a program (much lower standards had I) and didn't find it. And the contributer sites with all kinds of spacecraft and moon models etc. etc. I have been wanting this program for years!

btw, in my search I did find another very cool program which renders the sky accurately and beautifully, which is also quite impressive. You might like it.

Of course, there's the problem of different users on a machine. Is it possible to run a proxy that only a single user has access to?

Bookmarks could easily be managed through a small web app. There's a few things like this, check freshmeat.

lol. Yeah, for the swing wing, but what I meant was the automatic adaption of the shape of the wing itself for different speeds.

Here is the only photo I can find. Note the date at the bottom.

I posted about some of this before... rejected on the 23rd April :-)

Real free energy exists and has been patented, and is science, not pseudoscience - this man understands Maxwell equations. However, this seems to be a different technique, if we believe the grain of truth in the pseudoscience above. The batteries could charge themselves if time was reversed, and this was scientifically discussed by real, self respecting scientists and psychologists at a conference in eastern Europe early this year, but I can't find a reference for it. It was probably linked here.

He started of the demonstration with, "Great news, everybody!"

This project uses Linux 2.4.x to develop a free stand-alone VMS environment. I am hopeful to see this project succeed. I think they're also in need of developers.

If you're interested:

There in fact is an open source effort to recreate it: here. I was just about to describe the complete lack of activity for the project, but, upon checking the last update for the website, it was only four days ago, so who knows. =)

I would be interested in finding out whether HP is planning on continuing to support OpenVMS; I know that Compaq had been planning to port it to the Itanium. Can anyone comment?

Stellarium is an impressive piece of free software for Linux and Windoze that renders the sky at any given time given your coordinates.
I bet it will make it much easier for the untrained people to find the asteroid in the sky (considering its trayectory.

Thanks to a conversation that went something like this:

"I need some new music."
"What kind?"
"I dunno, surprise me."

I've been getting into music like this. I'm liking it. While most of my favorites so far have been mentioned by others (Aphex Twin's Richard D. James, Boards of Canada's Music Has The Right To Children, etc.), I haven't seen my top favorite mentioned. Boulderdash's We Never Went to Koxut Island is an absolutely awesome album, IMO. The songs "Headless in a Topless Bar" and "Dregs of Tar" are just... Wow.

(Be sure to try the Iris plugin for xmms, with the Background color Random on beat option set, and the output plugin set to the OSS driver. Fullscreen, obviously. ;))
