SHN FAQ

I just set up a mirror based on the 2.14 release (from the Texture CD NaN sold). This has versions for all platforms they supported at that time (no OSX).
Also the 2.23 Solaris release is there. Later this evening I will include the 2.23 Linux version I have at home.

I just checked and the "The Official Blender 2.0 Guide" is in stock here.

If you can demonstrate that your bandwidth to the Internet is greater than about 800 KB/s, I will personally give you a cookie.

Can I have one? I'm no longer working at UMBC, but they have an Internet^2 connection, and so their bandwidth to other I^2 sites is limited by the 100Mbps port on the desktop.

(Hint: there are a number of I^2 sites; I don't know if the questioner is on one, but if he is then there's good reason to want a 100Mbps uplink...)

True. But, if you are going to encode at 640kbps you really aren't reaping the benefits of compression... You would be better off using .shns. After all if 50% compression is enough then lossless is really the way to go.

Why aren't you at least using Shorten? It's lossless audio compression and it'll at least double the amount of stuff you can archive.

I'm doing it now on a 300 GB RAID 5 partition, and things are sweet.

Read about SHN here, and then use it.

In the end it turns out that the most complex problem arise in trying to coordinate a collection of "autonomic" (?) components. Distributed systems with unrully objects... This is what the autonomous agent community is mainly concerned with ( see the UMBC agents page or this very useful overview paper for example).

Of course IBM pushing this it might mean a kick up rear for the academic to actually get some of this potentially cool stuff working. Chances are you never want the end user to know how it works anyway.

Why use one of these when you have legos? : )

RedHat and Mandrake aside, we are all Linux users and should work together. Personally I prefer Slack; however, this is not the reason I write. I just think that if you are going to get online to slam someone you should do it in a manner that does not make you look like a fool. I would recommend putting Linux aside and visiting some grammar sites like this one.

This will only be up as long as I don't forget to take it down. At least 2 or 3 days from posting:

Actually, I once read an article (long lost in the shuffle, I'm afraid) in which a MS researcher claimed to have developed some really leading-edge AI stuff that was intended to power Clippy. He claimed that, if his stuff had gone into production, Clippy would have been uncannily perceptive in offering help.

MS chose to neuter his algorithms, though, and instead we got that perpetual annoyance/spawn of satan.

Oh - and don't write him off just yet.

Ive been using my nokia 8290 and my visor deluxe to connect to the net for the last few months. I dont need to use a serial cable because the visor and the phone connect via infared. So i can /. on the go or do whatever..

Here is debian.org on my visor. Im using palmscape for browsing.

if you have a 8290 and a visor deluxe, somebody wrote a guide on howto get them to work together.

I'd like to look at building them a computer lab or at least enhance their library. People have done this before, with the Geeks Into The Streets program.

Maybe we can even start a computer bank, like her furniture bank?

Cyc is basically a big encyclopedia of common-sense statements coupled to a simple inference engine. There may be uses for such things, but they're not anywhere near intelligent. What you get out is not much more than what somebody else put in. Sort of like Ask Jeeves.

According to this link, Pluto and Charon are (were?) considered to be the largest of the objects in the Kuiper Belt. There's actually many objects in this belt and more information can be found here and here. And, IMO, the best site for information about this, and the most complete is this site at NASA.

This suggests that Pluto and Charon are simply bodies within another asteriod belt and shouldn't have been classified as planets. And thus we shouldn't make the mistake of classifying this, too, as a planet, even though it is larger.

Insightful indeed, but if money is such a consideration, why the hell wouldn't Agenda top your list? It costs way less than the Yopy or IPaq, and has a very active and geeky community:

linux-pda.org (Agenda slashsite)

subscribe to the mailing lists (between the user and developer lists there's 100 or more messages a day)

Agenda help page outstanding reference and starting point

I've recently found my Agenda to be very usable after all the work that's gone on. You can get a pretty good deal with the developer model as well. See http://www.agendacomputing.com/ for the mostly finished site. See http://developer.agendacomputing.com/ for the developer deal, and see http://www.csee.umbc.edu/~acedil1/agenda/ for more information about the community supporting it.

To use the examples from the post directly, this makes bringing Linux programs from your (x86) desktop to your (MIPS) Agenda even more trivial. This device just became even cooler!

There is a well written paper The Computer Clubhouse: Technological Fluency in the Inner City that I just found by doing a web search. It includes a list of principles to keep in mind when teaching kids.

You might want to also check out Geeks into the Streets - "Geeks Into The Streets (GITS) is an opportunity for people who love computers to bring them to people who might otherwise not have access to them." Their primary project is House Agape.

----------------------------

Donald E. Knuth professor emeritus of computer science at Stanford University and author of the series of books The Art of Computer Programming , once said in an interview with Dr. Dobb's Journal: magazine:

The first thing I would say is that when you write a program, think of it primarily as a work of literature. You're trying to write something that human beings are going to read. Don't think of it primarily as something a computer is going to follow. The more effective you are at making your program readable, the more effective it's going to be: You'll understand it today, you'll understand it next week, and your successors who are going to maintain and modify it will understand it.

A new and improved diffAgent server has been released which includes additional mediators. "A diffAgent watches information sources available via the web and e-mails you when it detects changes. In particular, it can:

• Watch your FedEx package for you and e-mail you when it sees the words "Package has been Delivered!" (make a package watcher agent)
• Monitor a list of query results at a search service like Altavista to see when new pages on your topic appear (make a web topic watcher agent)
• Keep track of news articles on a topic and mail you when it finds new ones (make a news topic watcher agent)
• Mail you when your name appears in a list of papers at an electronic archive (make a web page watcher agent)
• Tell you when the word "snow" appears on the Pittsburgh weather page (make a web page watcher agent)

diffAgent had two modes. In the first mode, it stored a CRC checksum of the page, periodically compared checksums, and notified you of changes.

In the second mode, it stored the whole page, ran diff --context=3 over it to detect changed lines, and then grep'd for user-specified words of interest.

I believe The NetMind web page was already up at that time, but they may not have had all of the features important to the patent. IMO, the NetMind technology is not worth a patent, but it is a bit beyond the diffAgent, and not entirely trivial to implement even if it is trivial to think of.

Bit longer answer... Yes, you get source...you can browse the CVS tree from the developer site. There are FAQs on building apps...heck, as sold, it's X! The cross-compiler tools are readily available at the Linux VR site. Another good Agenda development site is here.

Potential?? TONS. X is pretty heavy on the thing...so I'm probably not gonna use it! I'm working on setting up a rootdisk with Microwindows, an OSS windowing environment that's a lot lighter-weight than X. Still in development, but I think there's a lot of promise there. If you can still get into the Developer's Program rates, you can get an Agenda for $179. (I got one for that price two weeks ago). As a hacker, you Cannot Beat That. It's awesome...I'm running a full-fledged Linux box in my hand, and I have total control, source, development tools, etc. It may not be ready for the Masses yet...but we aren't exactly the Masses now, are we?? *grin*

Seconded! I got mine less than two weeks ago, updated it, and now use it daily. That help page is excellent; there are some other great resourced linked from http://developer.agendacomputing.com.

Perfect? No. Usable? Yes. Bugs getting fixed? Yes. Inspiring some hacking? Yes, I want to port a rhyming dictionary (probably have to store the data zipped and use zlib, or something).

Woah... Have you not seen Andy's Agenda Help Page?

Follow his instructions, step by step (literally, cut and paste commands from the web page into an xterm), and you're set!

It is conjectured that it is computationally infeasible to produce two messages having the same message digest [output], or to produce any message having a given prespecified target message digest.

Hm... computationally infeasable... perhaps it's time for a new distributed.net contest? :)

I was an English major in college, and still retain a healthy admiration for Beat-Generation literature. Seeing as the great beat heroes have mostly died off (Kerouac, Ginsberg, Burroughs) -- with the possible exception of Gary Snyder -- I'd like to ask you about Cassady.

What impressed you the most about him? According to the numerous depictions I've read (Tom Wolfe's Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, plus the beat canons), Cassady was some sort of human dynamo, radiating nervous energy and constantly spouting reams of poetic prose. So what did y'all talk about?

Sincerely,

What types of news would you like to emphasize in the future -- i.e. strictly tech news (hardware/OS developments), culture (anime/book and movie reviews), or politics and law (intellectual property, legal challenges to free software, etc)? Or do you envision Slashdot as an all-encompassing forum for all things tech-related?

P.S.

Oh, in response to Serge's question about RobLimo's tropical shirts -- "gonzo" journalist Hunter S. Thompson wore Hawaiian (sp?) shirts, and so did my newswriting professor at UMBC -- must be the unofficial uniform of the 4th Estate.

A recent e-mail forward to me read:

"Please sign this petition so we don't lose an irreplaceable resource....NPR On NPR's Morning Edition last week, Nina Tottenberg said that if the Supreme Court supports Congress, it is in effect the end of the National Public Radio (NPR), NEA & the Public Broadcasting System(PBS). PBS, NPR and the arts are facing major cutbacks in funding. In spite of the efforts of each station to reduce spending costs and stream line their services, some government officials believe that the funding currently going to these programs is too large a portion of funding for something which is seen as not worthwhile."

My response? NPR is not an irreplacable resource.

Twenty one years ago, National Public Radio petitioned the FCC to stop accepting applications for the low-power Educational License class. WMUC in College Park was one of the last stations to get a ten watt FM radio license under this plan, but this was a year before the UMBC campus (my school) even established a radio station.

Because of these rules that NPR brought about, UMBC cannot get a license under 1000 watts, and due to the large amount of high-power corporate radio saturation in this area, no higher-powered licenses are available.

National Public Radio has only their own interests in mind, not the interests of smaller communities and people who still want localized, non-corporate free radio.

Forget about NPR. Support your local communities and your universities by advocating for LPFM.

For more information, see the following sites:

And my own letters to the Senators, here and here.

1. There's an errata for the book. It is, as far as I'm aware, entirely complete and up-to-date. It's over here (the address is listed in the book, yes). You can determine how many of these have any impact whatsoever on the content.

p.31 - I assume that should be "Socrates", not "Soctrates"
p.46 - "user", not "uger"
p.123 - "last", not "lasgt"
p.128 - "digits", not "difits"

BTW, p.154 - æ is æ :)

Hey, I'm the author of the book. This is a fair criticism, but...:

1. There's an errata for the book. It is, as far as I'm aware, entirely complete and up-to-date. It's over here (the address is listed in the book, yes). You can determine how many of these have any impact whatsoever on the content.
2. There are two typos I know of (one of which Danny Yee reported, and both of which are in the errata) in 'code examples' (that is, anything that looks like a transcript of a session). One of those is in the output of a command (the wrong quotes are displayed as output), and the other is a case where the point is that a certain thing doesn't work. (In talking about $0-$9, I show that $10 doesn't work. Only it was shown as 10 rather than $10 in the example.) This one should be clear from the context, but the point is that it doesn't work anyway.
3. I am anal-retentive. But things get messed up in the editing phase, as documents are passed back and forth among half a dozen people and file formats change, etc.
4. It's also a first printing. Some stuff will be fixed in the second printing. Everything will be fixed in the third printing. The second edition of the Llama book's first printing was horrendous. Especially the code examples.

Make a real file sharing network.

Seriously, napster is... of marginal usability? I'll be frank. Napster's protocol is total crap. Its based around single unconnected servers. Now, not only is this not totally decentralized (==bad) but since the napservers arent connected, you dont have access to every file (Yes, there are multiple napservers. (Choose your server with napigator)).

What we really need is a protocol that uses/abuses MD5 (RFC or a less technical overview), so you _know_ your getting the same file. Its not too much to ask to send a couple more bytes just once to know your getting the right song. Way more favorable option than having to backup your file before resuming a download, listening to make sure its the exact same file, et al. Way better

In terms of other options, I'd have to recommend a couple of different things: first off, check out Gnutella which is far superior to napster. Open protocol, truly distributed network. Everything. Second off, I'm gonna throw in a plug for Pie in the Sky, what I'm doing for BitWrench, the company I'm working for. Pie in the Sky (PitS) is the mother of all mp3 programs. When it does come out (end of summer time frame), it will support searching across napster, gnutella, freenet and scour. It will also boast possibly the most intelligent Gnutella router seen, extended protocols for enhanced communication with other PitS servnets and more. Check it.

Alright, enough ranting. Matt

This announcement brought to you by the DeCSS Polar Bear.

They've designed their own custom RISC processor with built-in network support and quite a lot of very neat I/O ( A dream come true for telecomms embedded people).

It's not very RISCy. It looks more like a almost-68000 with delay slot branches (if I remember right). It has a bunch of indirect addressing modes not found on most (or any) RISCs. Of corse it doens't have to be a RISC. It runs pretty quick (50Mhz? 100Mhz?), as you say it has lots of good I/O features and built-in networking.

It is a pretty cool CPU for the right target. But it ain't a RISC.

People who want to know more about a cool embeded CPU with lots of networking and I/O features should definitly checkout their little CISC CPU.

Anyone that thinks it is a RISC chould check out page 17 of the ETRAX 100 Data Sheet, and then maybe the John Mashey "What Is RISC" essay. Enjoy.

bash-httpd

But writing one is postscript is cool. :)

The following is a list of all the mirrors from the 2600 site.

Slashdot has long been one of the best true forums for free speech in the world. Link to this comment. Post that link on your website and everywhere. CmdrTaco archives these comments indefinitely, right? Lets see the MPAA take on Slashdot, Andover, and the ACLU (who I'm assuming would back you guys up) BTW: When I click the "Post Anonymously" button, is there any way to retrieve my IP address, or my login info? I sure as hell hope not. Big risk I'm taking here for the sake of free speech... but we gotta do what we gotta do. Right?

...a LUG in Baltimore(I think?) who helped inner-city, disadvantaged kids get online and get the technological know-how that they'll need...

that was us:

• geeks into the streets
• the agape house

we always welcome (tax deductible) donations of money or equipment (our average xterminal box is a 486 with 16-32 megs of ram), and, as any nonprofit will tell you, we're always more in need of people's time than their money, so if you know anyone near us who might want to help either with putting machines together or helping the kids, pass the word along.

we're also happy to offer advice & assistance to anyone who's interested in doing the same thing in his/her city. feel free to contact me at jeff.covey@pobox.com.

we're starting our first formal classes this week with an intro to unix class, to be followed by an html class, a course in basic c, maybe an emacs class; whatever various lug members want to teach. should be fun.

as to the .org pavilion at linuxworldexpo, it's rather sad that we've gotten to the point that emmett has to say: "The fact that the .org pavilion gave these people a chance to shine is a big step in the right direction on behalf of the sponsors." of course they should have been there, and the companies who live and breathe on the community's code should have paid their way there and put them proudly on a pedestal for everyone to see instead of hiding them where the pointy haired bossen couldn't find them and be frightened by them.

they should come out of the closest and admit that the heart of their products is being written by teenagers with green hair and noserings, and that that's ok.

linuxworldexpo was a bit odd, because it's not clear for whom it was meant. atlanta was for the community, san diego was for the corporations, thebazaar was for... well, who the hell knows who thebazaar was for, but linuxworldexpo new york seemed to be for the businesses who would tolerate the community so long as it was kept segregated in its own ghetto.

oh, btw: "eeeeemmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeettt!"

Lisp has been doing this stuff forever. Maybe it'd be a good idea to look into the formats that expert systems use to exchange data; I bet they're pretty generic.

Of course, that won't happen, we'll all make our own stripped-down, human-readable versions, with big gaping flaws, until someone either standardizes it, or hides something nasty and binary with a GUI and dominates the market (*hint* I wonder who wants to use XML and "open standards"....) So let's try to come up with a real open format now, instead. :)

Agape characterizes the community spirit and has provided a real-world example of how free(beer) software can be implemented with older hardware for an extremely low-cost.

I should learn to PREVIEW first. CDC... CDA (Communications Decency Act) Action (hacktivism.tao.ca) Geeks in the Streets (linux.umbc.edu)

From the article, you'd think that the only people who care about politics are "Tech Bosses" who have enough money to lobby politicians with. Perhaps its just that The Economist think its perfectly acceptable that politics is only who can buy which politicians and why... thats not democracy, its an indictment against the corruption in our political system.

The competing interests they talk about are the competing interests of corporations. How it could ever seriously talk about small nimble companies and the death of big business has got to be some kind of joke. Faster than the Federal government (with continually increasing powers and budget) can bust trusts and monopolies, are they not combining into larger and larger corporations.

About the only thing Big that they were right about getting small is Big Unions. This is largely their own damn fault, becaused they stopped being unions that fought on the job and became political machines, lobbying groups and pension/insurance plans. And, suprise, they never have the money to buy politicians like corporations can. Which is ultimately why efforts like Washtech are doomed as long as they try and compete with corporate money in electoral politics. Ofcourse, anti-democratic practices, corruption, organized crime, capital flight to the third world (GATT, NAFTA and the WTO), and being outmoded by new technology have heart Big Labor alot.

If unions are to ever work for geeks, they've got to be portable, decentralized, democratic, focus on direct action (instead of electoral lobbying), free (like in speech, not beer) and of a generally anti-authoritarian/libertarian culture. They've got to be willing to fight over issues like censorship (remember when the Web turned black against the CDC?), privacy, spam, standards, accessiblity, etc... I only know of couple humble attempts at that.

The complete cyberpunk fake book has a better hold on geek politics than the Economist. Fringe parties... if geeks are in parties are all... are like the Libertarians and the Greens. The number of out right anarchists growing in the industry is pretty astounding.

Most geeks don't identify themselves with any particularly ideology (and certainly not any party). They have a patchwork of issues they care about, if they vote registere independent or which ever party has dominance so they'll have a better choice during primaries. Political geeks would rather take action, or support their local communities, in the streets. If geeks want to get rid of propietary software, they out evolve it, they don't try and lobby it away; Anarchism Triumphant! If they think corporations have bought up to much radio spectrum, they help people take the airwaves back from FCC sellout. Or take out satellites.

But none of these things are politics, as far as The Economist is concerned. But then, civil disobedience is pretty hard to buy off.

When geeks start applying what they are already doing on other issues to work... then you'll really begin to see something. Syndicalism might get a rebirth for the new millenium yet.

UMBC's 10,000 undergraduates and 1,500 graduate students come from 42 states and 71 foreign countries. Over 3000 of our students are majoring in one of our IT programs -- Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Information Systems, and Digital Imaging. We are developing new programs (e.g., electronic commerce and also have a number of non-credit certificate programs available including a new program in information security.

We an excellent computational environment with lots of SGI, SUN and Linux workstations and servers. We are also part of the Internet2 system and have several other high speed connections to the Internet.

We enjoy a great location on a 500-acre campus in the suburbs of Baltimore just to the north of DC which present lots of opportunities for internships and coop jobs are area government labs (NASA, NSA, NIST, NRL, ARL, SSA, GAO, etc) and industrial centers (IBM, Hughes, Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, CSC, etc).

Although we don't have a winning football team (ok, we don't even have a football team) we do have the number one college chess team in north and south america (winner of the Pan Am Championship in two of the past three years).
