I have a site which contains some interesting RSS feeds. Here I give you a list of the most interesting feeds of my site together with direct links to the RSS file (note some of them are dynamically generated via php but probably will work on any rss reader):

JnanaBase What's New RSS feed: This is a general knowledge base wiki, a website where everyone can write anything they want. The feed contains links to the newest articles, that may be about anything, such as music, computers, etc. A section of the wiki, called IntelliWiki, is about Artificial Intelligence and builds a database of known facts that can be read by knowledge management software. Be warned, however, that the contents of this feed are not systematically reviewed. New articles are added several times every day.
NerdyPC What's New RSS feed: This is a wiki knowledge base about Information Technology and computers. It contains quality articles that are passed through a review process. Contents are open source news, hardware information and very soon hardware reviews. New articles are added every day or two.
Wikinerds Portal RSS feed: This is a portal website which publishes a variety of articles on computers, science, social issues etc. New articles, which usually contain many links to external websites (and Slashdot discussions!) are added usually every 1-2 days. However, some of the posted articles are just announcements about new content in the wikis described above (as well as other wikis that I host).

Just to clarify that these are not the only RSS feeds I offer, but just the most interesting ones that have useful content. I post this message not as an advertisement, but only because I truly believe that these feeds will be interesting to you (and you asked to be informed about interesting feeds).

Note: Please do not read the RSS feeds more than 4-6 times per day because I want to keep the server utilisation low.

USA PATRIOT considered harmful by wikinerd · 2004-10-30 00:45 · Score: 5, Insightful · on What's Going On in Canada?

I wonder why they needed 3 years to understand that private information is not safe anymore in USA.

Obviously something needs to change. All this terror-paranoia is not normal. We, the Europeans, also suffered attacks in Madrid but we didn't pass laws like that. We didn't get mad. We do fight terror, but we do not destroy our civilisation of democracy and freedom just to catch some crazy terrorists.

I hope the USA legislators will understand that they can fight their enemies without undermining the privacy and freedom of Americans (and the world!). I believe that laws like PATRIOT aren't needed.

BTW I wrote a story with some more information here. As you can read, the probe started in May and produced a report consisted of more than 100 pages. The report was written by OIPC, a Canadian authority on privacy issues in British Columbia.

SoundStom petition! by wikinerd · 2004-10-20 08:07 · Score: 1 · on New nForce Boards Previewed

I have signed the petition to nVidia to bring SoundStorm back. See: http://nsk.wikinerds.org/blog/index.php?p=77

The petition has 2390 signatories and demands future SoundStorm availability from nVidia. Motherboard makers don't like like SoundStorm, perhaps because it is expensive, but nVidia should place more emphasis on what the customers want.

SoundStorm is the audio chip that was present in nForce2 MCP-T, but nForce3 and nForce4 do not have anything similar and rely on AC97.

AC97 is just not enough. If nVidia does not incorporate SoundStorm in nForce4, I think many customers will embrace the cheaper VIA

Re:opteron by wikinerd · 2004-09-25 17:09 · Score: 1 · on CPUs/Compilers for Numerical Simulations?

But why Opteron, you might ask.
I would prefer an Athlon64 over an Opteron because of the extra reliability that ECC offers. If I know it well, A64 has the ECC circuit builtin, but many motherboards do not use it. With an Opteron you know that you get true ECC and also registered memory (which is SLOWER but more reliable).
IMHO reliability is more important than speed in numerical apps. You could lose months of work just because of a single bit error. Opteron is 100% realiable and has been used successfully even in supercomputers.
For an overview of Opteron models and tech, check my article here

I can code a program to generate heat from spam by wikinerd · 2004-09-25 01:10 · Score: 1 · on Spam Over Internet Telephony (SPIT) to Come?

It's easy:
I have found that my computers working at 100% load 24/7 (MPriming) generate enough heat to keep my room much more warmer than the rest of the rooms here. Although this is undesirable now, in the winter it will be a bless.
I have some creative ideas on what to do with all that spam. How about a program that...

...will attempt to recreate a Shakespeare work from randomly selected words found in spam messages
...will use randomly selected characters from the spam, translated into numbers, to form pi
...will display randomly selected and coloured characters from the spam on the screen as a screensaver
...will extract all ACGT (that's DNA: Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, Thymine) characters from all the spam, and randomly rearrange them trying to form the DNA or a large part of the DNA of some organism
...will randomly select characters and numbers from spam msgs to feed seeds to an RSA key generator
a CPU-intensive combination of the above

if the program is coded in such a way to waste many cpu cycles at 100% load, it will be able to generate enough heat to warm up your room during the winter (provided the room is small and the program runs on many computers).
