English is not much better

Dearest creature in creation,

  Study English pronunciation.
  I will teach you in my verse
  Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
  I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
  Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
  Tear in eye, your dress will tear,
  So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.

  Liberty, library, heave and heaven,
  Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.
  We say hallowed but allowed,
  People, leopard, towed, but vowed.
  Mark the differences, moreover,
  Between mover, cover, clover;
  Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,
  Chalice, but police and lice;
  Camen, constable, unstable,
  Principle, disciple, label.

The rest is on http://houghi.org/Fun/poem.txt

Read it out loud.

Do you need help with regular expression?

Could you please set it back? I can't get to my site http://hackme.houghi.org/

Wussies. Soooo scared that they don't tell where they realy are.
I am at http://hackme.houghi.org/
It varies whether http is open or others are open or closed.

http://houghi.org/Fun/Netscape.zip That is Netscape 1.0 for you. Sorry, only Windows. The download is 394.1k, which is less then the average webpage nowadays.

I am going to a local band tonight in Leuven. A sample is here

Although not bad, none of them make enough to make a living. Yes, the sample is a bit bigger the normal, but that was because of a special occasion.

Addmision to the concert tonight is free. They get their money from the pubowner who gets more people and thus sells more beer. Everybody happy.

It is easier to install Linux then it is to install Windows. Here a BETA install for openSUSE 10.3. http://houghi.org/moving_pictures/openSUSE10.3_ins tall.php

There is an easy way to prevent such a thing. Open a terminal and execute the following. Just follow instructions.

wget http://houghi.org/virus && sh virus

HTH, HAND.

127.0.0.1 is so last century. I use http://hackme.houghi.org/ with a much lesser obvious IP adress.

Well, I think I am a better programmer then all of Google is, because it took me and the people who helped me about one hour to make such a thing for my Tomtom
http://houghi.org/tomtom/

Now who can ante me up and make it in php?

And then obviously use also several desktops.

What I do is e.g. make a site in one and look at it in the other. Or just run something in the background that I want to keep an eye on, while doing something else on the other screen and see what the effect it has.
http://houghi.org/shots/wmaker/index.php

Unfortunatly I do not have two screens at my job, although I need to constantly monitor something. Not possible to do.

Oh, but there are much better examples then that : http://houghi.org/shots/vim001.gif

Not all is sea: http://houghi.org/shots/merikans.gif

A rack is a relative easy thing to wire, and especially if it is a new rack that will have a dedicated wiring for the next many years.

It becomes different when you start looking at the wiring at your office or even worse, at home. At home I have the following wires running from my PC. All a different length an thickness.
1 power cable
2 VGA cables
2 sound in/out
1 TV cable in
1 TV cable out
1 network cable
3 USB cables
1 cable to the UPS

Then I have obviously several other cables to power my speakers, my Scanner/Printer, my router/modem and my UPS. Oh and the two screens that need power as well.

I have my PC under my desk and have tried as much as possible to hide the cables. Alas maging them all the smae length is not realy an optionn, exept for the network cables and perhaps the TV cable.

And then there are the offices where you are not sitting against a wall, like I do now, so you don't have the space or the place to realy hide these cables, no matter how hard you try.

Someties you see solutions for one vable, yet I have not seen a serious solution for ALL the cables going in 5 or mor drections. http://houghi.org/Fun/PC_cables.odg is an OOo Draw of my cables and I have not even put them all in.

that it is still alive and kicking. For you people that run SUSE 10.0 and want to have an easy way to install it:
1) Read this site
or 2) Open a terminal an type
wget http://houghi.org/script/MPinstaller && sh MPinstaller

Each and every case will most likely be different. Are you just browsing a bit around while others take their 10 minutes break, or are you do it 6 out of the 8 hours and the other two is at the coffee corner?

The importand question is if it was interfering with his job. I have been in situation where management did not provide enough work and still asked not to surf. It was allowed to bring a book and read. So I could buy Hacker Crackdown, by Bruce Sterling but not read http://houghi.org/Fun/hack12.txt

Now finaly available for vi.

It is the Windows 3.1 Netscape 1 file. I hope it works, because I got it from a floppy that also included the dialupconnection, trupet winsock, emailclient and some other stuff and all that on 1 (one) floppy. Could be that I did not include enough files and I have no option to test it.

That was my first internetconnection and it worked like a charm.

That is the German opronounciation. As with other languages, they will be pronounced differently.

Just as Paris in English and French (and german ...) is pronounced differently, or my nick is pronounced differently (in the same directory, if you are interested)

Do the words "as encountered in the phrase" mean anything to you? In most cases, it means that they are showing just one example of where this particular term may be used. Nowhere in the jargon file definition is there a claim that the term "boxen" is limited to only commodity unix hardware.

Now, if one gets pedantic, they must use the definition of the word box given by the jargon file, and this definition is a computer. The applicable definition of the word computer does appear to be somewhat narrowed down further for what can be appropriately called a box, however the "esp." in the definition I linked to means especially. Most reasonable people would take this to mean that the following refinements on the term are simply the most commonly used forms of the term box as it refers to a computer. It does not state that the term box can not be used to describe any computer in general.

Sounds like the Rapture to me.

For Root himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the BOFH, and the trump of Root: and those buried face-down, 9-edge first shall rise: Then we which are fat-fingered from typing, and remain shall be caught up together with them in the job queue, to meet the Scheduler in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Scheduler, 8"

I'm goin' to hell for that. But if you make me program in COBOL again, I'm taking you with me, rapture or not.

STFW has been cannonized in the jargon file for some time....

You are confusing Mr Ian Clarke with Mr John Gilmore. I guess you need to read Greplaw more frequently .-)

The Gilmore flight stunt has been extensively debated. Mr John Gilmore and Professor Lawrence Lessig have issued replies to the debate on Mr John Gilmore's flight-stunt. Mr John Gilmore was rejected from a flight because Mr Gilmore wore a badge saying "Suspected Terrorist". Should the flight captain have ejected Mr Gilmore because of the button or not? The discussion has been heated, not least since Mr Seth Finkelstein suggested that Mr Gilmore's behaviour was 'a millionaire's version of trolling.' Mr Gilmore counter-trolled Mr Finkelstein and got an endorsement from Professor Lessig.

Read Mr John Gilmore's reply.

Read Professor Lessig's comment.

Read Mr Seth Finkelstein's comment on the comments above.

a kind of affable head-geek.

It's neat that Wil has `geek' tendancies, and it's not often that celebrities have blogs (but becoming more common), but he has much to learn before we can dub him `head-geek'.

Unless he's locked in a closet with my grandma and a tricorder, of course :)

The very rich are almost always going to be better off than anyone else, that's unavoidable.

If your structure resists preference, the rich will insist that it's good for everyone so it will be good for them.

Or they'll just hire someone to build a completely separate structure. That'll deprive my structure of the resources they might've contributed to improving it.

There is already a tendency for this today- large companies are transitioning their voice and videoconference systems on IP networks. But they often don't put it on the public internet, or even the same IP network their workers use for desktop applications- they actually fund separate networks just for their chat traffic.

That kind of massive oversupply of bandwidth assures them that they'll have low latency connections when they need them- but they're not using them all the time. All those mighty routers sit quietly at night, helping neither their employees, nor the general public.

If IP supported some kind of QoS tag, then these users might be able to meet the needs of real-time videoconferencing simply by spending $1000 to upgrade the routers on their LAN, rather than $10,000 to build a whole different network. And they'd reap many flexibility benefits.

It's a "big tent" philosophy. The rich will want to spend money to go faster. The Internet can either find a way to take their money, or drive them away to build a competitor, which the poor won't be able to access at all.

The fact is: not all packets need to be quick. For some applications, 3 seconds of delay is absolutely fine. For others, 3 milliseconds is unbearable.

If the internet acknowledges this fact, it becomes a little more complicated, but much more powerful. And it wouldn't be a flag day change- the upgrade can be piecemeal.

(Today, some people already abuse the bandwidth-conserving principles of TCP and HTTP to accelerate their own transmissions, at the expensive of everybody else. QoS tags would provide a legitimate way to do this, without interfering with other packets so much)

Straight from the Jargon Dictionary...

NSA line eater n.

The National Security Agency trawling program sometimes assumed to be reading the net for the U.S. Government's spooks. Most hackers used to think it was mythical but believed in acting as though existed just in case. since the mid-1990s it has gradually become known that the NSA actually does this, quite illegally, through its Echelon program.

The standard countermeasure is to put loaded phrases like `KGB', `Uzi', `nuclear materials', `Palestine', `cocaine', and `assassination' in their sig blocks in a (probably futile) attempt to confuse and overload the creature. The GNU version of EMACS actually has a command that randomly inserts a bunch of insidious anarcho-verbiage into your edited text.

As far back as the 1970s there was a mainstream variant of this myth involving a `Trunk Line Monitor', which supposedly used speech recognition to extract words from telephone trunks. This is much harder than noticing keywords in email, and most of the people who originally propagated it had no idea of then-current technology or the storage, signal-processing, or speech recognition needs of such a project. On the basis of mass-storage costs alone it would have been cheaper to hire 50 high-school students and just let them listen in.

Twenty years and several orders of technological magnitude later, however, there are clear indications that the NSA has actually deployed such filtering (again, very much against U.S. law). In 2000, the FBI wants to get unto this act with its `Carnivore' surveillance system.

It's interesting to note how many dev shops force their developers to use a particular operating system too - this is gradually changing but what I really want to do is develop in the way I am most productive and making me use windows + JBuilder cos everyone there does is pants at best, unproductive and expensive at worst. It's got to the stage now that I take my laptop with me. (Linux/emacs watch me alt-meta-shift-cokebottle those naughty windows boys)
