Slashdot Mirror

There's some brilliant web coverage of this topic available. Just look at the animated GIF (via CORALIZED link) at

the site http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov.nyud.net:8090

to see how dramatic this is. For more, including the GIF, see:

(For those who don't know: The above links to an automatically cached version of the pages, as described here. If for some reason the coralized links are don't work, you can try the orignal by changing the link from http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov.nyud.net:8090/something. .. to http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/something..., but this is so well presented they don't deserve a /.'ing, so try the cached version first.)

Coral Cache, Site going down quick.

USE CORAL!

I mean honestly. Coral is precicesly what this situation was designed for. Penny-Arcade could significantly reduce their bandwidth usage by coralizing the comics. Heck, even Slashdot could get a major speedup on their hosting these christmas pages by using Coral for the links.

Here are the coralized versions of the Slashdot-hosted images... If a few people request them they should get cached and will load like greased lightning:

Here's the Coral cache of this /. page.

(WTF??? Some kind of mobius hyperlink!)

that page is unbearably unreadable. The tiled anglefire background obscures any text that may be on the site, and does a good job of even hiding the images.

Ow.

For real???!!

I've been playing with my set since 1990 and have yet to get tired of it. The track is 1/8" diameter nylon which is easily replaced by buying 1000' of brake line. The marbles are 1/2" dia but if you get pachinko sized marbles (3/8") they stay on the tracks better. Really the only thing that hasn't been easily replaced (out of necessity) from these sets are the cross ties, though there are instructions for milling your own out of a tube of plastic. Some places have started making special parts for Spacewarp on request. I have Set 30 just like poster of this article and it goes for $150 now on eBay because of the scarcity of the original parts.

Here's a coralized link to one of the better galleries I know of. The possibilities with these things are absolutely amazing.

Use the Coralized link, or Mozilla will to ask for more donations to pay for the bandwidth ;-). BTW, the Firefox coral extension rules!

Perhaps that's the problem?

Protect yourself from Slashdottage, give out coral cache links.

After using MDs for the past five years or so, I finally decided to purchase a HDD MP3 player a few weeks ago. I was tired of carrying around a half dozen MDs with me, and thought it would be nice to have access to my entire music library when I'm on the go. One thing I really did like about my MD player was its size - since I wear a suit to work every day, it was nice to be able to slip my MD player into my suit pocket - it was thin and small, therefore unnoticable (no bulge, etc) ... With unit size/weight in mind, I narrowed my choice of HDD players down to the 4G 20GB iPod, the Sony NW-HD2, and the iAudio M3. I quickly scratched the NW-HD2 off my list due to its lack of MP3 support, followed by the M3, because I didn't want to be tied to a remote - I wanted the OPTION of an LCD remote, but I didn't want to be FORCED to use it - I wanted something with an LCD display on the unit itself. That left the iPod, which I ended up buying about three weeks ago.

The thing I like best about the iPod is the UI - the interface is great. I found it very easy to navigate through my music using the iPod's touch wheel, and it was kind of fun to use! lol ... But one thing that really bothered me about the iPod was the lack of bass - so when I saw on head-fi that Sony was due to release the NW-HD3 on December 10th, and that they were FINALLY adding MP3 support, I decided to pick one up. From my past experience with Sony, I figured the HD3 would have much better low-end than the iPod.

Well, today is December 10th, and I just bought the NW-HD3 about eight hours ago. Here are my initial impressions.



packaging
The HD3 came in a very simple package. The front of the box is entirely in English, which was reassuring for me (I had concerns about the unit/software being completely compatible with an English OS, for example, so it was nice to see Sony using English on the box itself).

CLICK TO ENLARGE




Opening it up reveals the unit securely lodged in place, protected by some bubble wrap and underneath that, some foam-paper. The accessories just kind of hang out in the lower section of the box, but they were in fine shape when I took them out. No worries.

CLICK TO ENLARGE






the unit
The unit is rather small - compared to the 4G 20GB, it is noticeably thinner and shorter. It feels very solid, and does not make any noises when you twist it - overall I'd have to say it is a well put together device.



The display is a bit smaller than that of the iPod, it's about as wide as the iPod's is tall - so, it can seem kind of cluttered at times. Also, the backlight isn't as bright as on the iPod, making it a little harder to read. In fact, even with the backlight off, the screen on the HD3 is still much darker than the iPod's. However, the HD3 allows you to reverse the display, which is a cool little feature - if you don't mind the screen being even harder to read with the backlight off, it looks very cool reversed.



interface
As I mentioned earlier, I'm a big fan of the iPod's UI - it was very easy to learn, in fact I never bothered reading any instructions for it, just picke

"It doesn't seem to want to deal with text files (there is no import feature for the Palm Desktop notepad or memo pad, for example)."

You mean 'in Windows'. In the Linux and UNIX world, there are dozens of choices in how you want to talk to your Palm.

For "text files", nothing beats Plucker when carrying text, ebooks, manuals, HTML pages, HOWTO documents, and other items. The LDP even carries all of their HOWTO documents in Plucker format. Its the only format that is freely available, openly documented, and very extensible.

Just look at how beautiful Plucker is with the PHP documentation as one example...

"Also there seems to be no way to copy arbitrary files to the Palm - all files must be "owned" by an application. With a 256MB SD card I expected to use it to copy files between work and home."

You must mean '...in Windows' again. In the non-Windows side, including OSX, we have pilot-link which talks natively to your Palm and can do all kinds of things that the Windows tools cannot (including operating at 40% faster in some cases).

Commercial companies such as MarkSpace are using pilot-link (the core library of pilot-link anyway) in their commercial product, MissingSync which runs on OSX.

For desktop replacements, PIMs, and other tools, there are dozens of alternatives. Here are several, in no particular order (with Coralized links to protect the bandwidth of the various projects):

• Kpilot
• PilotManager
• J-Pilot
• Evolution (an Outlook clone)
• Multisync

There are many others, but these are the top contenders. They all also rely on the libraries and language bindings provided by pilot-link to communicate with your Palm device.

"Has anyone else noticed these or other shortcomings and have figured out ways around them?"

Yes, stop using Windows. Stop using the featureless proprietary tools provided by these vendors who only listen to their profit margins, not to their userbase.

Seriously

The mirrors aren't slashdotted. Try another Coral page like CNN. At least with Coral, the macmod site was already down -- how could the system get it then? It's NOT an archive!

The site is already down. Using the NYUD cache of it shows a message that the site is down...MirrorDot has it though.

Nightly builds are currently suffering from some instability after the recent branch merge (lots of features only lived on the branch until now, and only recently became available on the trunk, like extension/theme manager and find bar). If you're a happy 1.0.0 user, it might be advisable to stick with that for a while until the nightlies stabalize a bit more. A list of important bugs and fixes can be found here

You people are so funny. READ THE PAGE!

It states that Linux 2.6 and NetBSD are the best performers! What part of my post (posting proof of performance in response to a person expousing the virtues of FreeBSD) leads you (in a general sence) to to belive that I'm a Linux Zelot? Three responses to my post, all very defensive.

Personally, before reading that page, I was under the impression that OpenBSD was for security, FreeBSD was for performance, and NetBSD was for portability. This shows very clearly, that (as of a year ago) NetBSD is no slouch in the performance category.

I'd think that those poor, put upon BSD proponents would be HAPPY to show off this page. So what if it's a year old (which I stated in my original post)? That just means performance has likely improved even more. So what if the hardware is old? New hardware is not going to adjust the ratio of performance.

In a story announcing the release of NetBSD, you'd think that a link to a site that shows how well it performed (a year ago) would be greated with a bit less hostility.

Whatever.

what's next for him? A seven foot tall girlfriend made entirely of lego?

Not quite, but he has built a girl out of lego.

He recently "discovered" a new type of lego brick which allowed a vast improvement in the mechanism. The update is dated 12 March 2003, the original dating from 20 January 2000.

Why do people insist on using the google cache when the pictures tell most of the story. It's still pulling the pictures from the original souce.
Now this coralized link on the other hand is pulling from the coral servers and since the pictures are relative (rather than absolute), coral works quite well.
