Real die-hard keyboard geeks tend to favor the IBM Model F that came with the original IBM PC, XT and AT systems. They're built like tanks compared with the flimsy plastic Model M, and the key action is better. However, they do require a converter to use on modern PCs, and the key layout is kind of funky and takes a bit of getting used to.

The other thing that has to be said is If you are willing to put in the time and money, today you can build a keyboard from readily available parts that (IMHO) beats the Model F, and you can customize it to fit your own preferences while you're at it. Here's my own personal example http://zobeid.zapto.org/misc/z...

And this project seems to be a circumventing technology and illegal under the DMCA.

Of course it’s illegal under the DMCA. However, take-down notices are solely, uniquely and only provided to remedy against actual copyright infringements, and clean-room reverse-engineering is **NOT** copyright infringement. Circumvention devices are covered in a totally different section of the law and the remedial mechanism is most definitely **NOT** a takedown notice.

And since the DMCA does not apply outside of the U.S., 95% of the people can safely mirror it and there isn’t a thing Adobe can do about it. Heck, they can’t even invoke patents because software patents as they are illegal here.

For the record,

yet another mirror

well outside the reach of the DMCA and also of software patents in particular.

I checked out Konqueror 3.5.8 (Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux 2.6.23-gentoo-r3; X11; x86_64; en_US) KHTML/3.5.8 (like Gecko) (Gentoo)), and it looks like it doesn't pass: Acid2.png

I was pretty sure 3.5.7 passed when I tried it before, but I may be mistaken.

I came accross just that problem (I was given a iPod Nano), so I hacked together a little script. It even supports playlists and contacts (for iPod). http://dabbelt.zapto.org/palmer/software.html

Oh STFU you lame whiner. Who said anything about niggers?

Here's a good HOWTO for you.

Now that Yahoo is unlimited in mailbox size, dont be limited by the attachment 10MB file size, you can send any file with any file size to your email account with a simple right click and send file (including yahoo). The freeware will automatically split and merge the file. You can also send whole folders to your email account as it will zip them up. The software is called Backup To EMail and you can download it from http://emailer.zapto.org/

Rule#3: spammers are stupid.

This isn't just a simple DDoS because DNS servers point many other resources to the attack target. This makes this a Distributed Reflective Denial of Service Attack, or DRDoS. I published an article on this topic in 2600 Hacker Quarterly magazine in 2004. I was a network\security student when I wrote it so it might not teach you ubergeeks anything new.

So we should do our part: let's swamp Google with sex searches!!!

Try the Indian one!!!!

I've spent some time fiddling with my EPIA based PVR too. I'm quite happy with it, but had the same problems using a precompiled kernel (FC2 original was ok) and heat with a PVR 350 card. Had to add another fan and it didn't become as silent as I hoped.

Anyway it has been fun! MythTV is great and can do a lot more things than most prebuilt commercial PVRs I've seen so far.

See some tech details on http://aronsson.zapto.org/pvr/index.html/.

I found the link on a similar story on Geek.com:

http://brickwiki.zapto.org/index.php/Category:LDD_ tix_files

The LDD tool is pretty cool, but I wish it would allow you to print build instructions like those that come with other LEGO kits. It would also be nice if you could modify the build instructions--currently, it seems that the build instructions are created according to how the model was built. If you move a part around late in the design, it keeps the original time the part was added, which may mask parts that were placed in their final position before the piece was moved.

Still, all in all, a fun product!

maybe you should read this http://securelabs.zapto.org/~pureone/docs/sshcomp. txt

this is a incident with a linux box being compramised due to the owner not careing whats running and not trying to harden his os. ie weak passwords,poor configuration of ssh

i found it while searching the web. most windows users will not tighten the security on there os,maybe scaring them is a good idea but im not too sure.

my point is really that the os doesnt really matter, what matters is that the users have common sense. but as i always say common sense is not that common.

IMHO Getting rid of the menus are one of the positive aspects of backing up your dvds...just put the thing in and it plays the feature -- no fbi/interpol warnings, no previews, no stupid effects -- just the movie

Where I was putting several episode on one disk, I hand crafted a menu using the GIMP.

Here's a site for creating menus

It's kind of a pain to sort thru all that info, but once you create a menu successfully, it's a snap to repeat.

Lastly, regarding dvdshrink, I use tcrequant, which I believe is part of the transcode package. Use a requant factor of 1.66 to crush the size of the video with very little noticable loss of quality.

And really lastly, DVD:RIP is neat, but you can just as easily script the process, which helped me learn a little more about what I was doing.

I got lucky and got a great picture of it going "You are currently using 44MB (3%) of 1337MB" http://slyfox.zapto.org:8082/display_entry.php?65

Is pixel size. As your price goes up, the size of each individual pixel decreases, on average. However, I have yet to see an LCD where the dot pitch (pixel size) is less than .24 mm.

My Samsung SyncMaster's dot pitch is 0.18 mil. While this may not sound like a huge difference, it really is. Running at 1600 by 1200, detail is very, *very* crisp, with no smearing at all, and the low pixel size is a major contributor to this.

As a rule, imo, CRD >>> LCD at a comparable price. Sure, the Apple 30 inch LCD monster may be better than this thing, but this was £200 from a local shop about 6 years ago. I also don't have to worry about dead pixels, and all that jazz.

The only reason I'd get an LCD is if I needed the small footprint, or the lack of electrical noise. But I don't.

So CRTs for me :) (And yes, I am 15...)

Four different ways:
First of all, friendly people outside of that country download this free perl proxy and put it in /cgi-executeables, and mods it to be free of the word "Proxy" (My copy here is free of the "P" word- my school blocks anything with the word "Proxy" in the address bar)

Secondly, some nice person compiles a list of working HTTP / Socks / etc proxies

Thirdly, they put this on a big P2P client

Finally, some other nice person works out the Iranian government's IPs, and adds those to a peer guardian like blocklist that's distributed with the p2p client.
If they block most non-80 ports, then just use desproxy to get around it.


Finally: PROFIT! (Well, liberty, which is just as good)

And now the voting thing. Look at Ukraina - they stood up AGAINST the evil government, against corrupted Russian powers trying to unite those two countries against ones will. But noo, your too stupid and too fat to move your stupid fat ass from your "I'm watching Ophra on the couch eating McDonalds and I dont care" position.

By identical hardware, I meant:

• Asrock K7S8XE+ MB, Athlon (Barton) 2500+, 8xAGP nVidia GForce 4 MX 440, 512MB DDR333.

Although the hardware was identical, the load wasn't. I wasn't running services on the windows box because I'm not insane. Although the webserver was getting about 2 hits per second under linux in the background (and exercising the database server) and the mailserver was processing mail for my domains, the frame rates were still 30% higher than under OpenGL in Windows with no services. I play at 1280x1024.

I bought two identical platforms - one for myself and one for my partner. She prefers a different environment for now, but I installed it on her box to compare. It sucketh. The average frame rate is about 40, but it freezes for a moment every couple of seconds and like all windows boxes it crashes when you least want it to (but at least twice a day).

Yes, I play UT2K4 on my webserver. So fire me. But before you do, have a nice dinner.

Me for one. My site is now running it!

I dunno about your process, but I used about 50 litres of used oil, with 10 litres of methanol and my yield was about 40 litres... The remaining volume was lost in solids caught in the filter, methanol evaporation (which I intend to trap and condense in my processor MK2) and the glycerin by-product (which makes an excellent degreaser for the equipment after a batch)...

Peace and grease people!

No its not - you just have to pay the tax!

I am brewing my own biodiesel legally in the UK!

http://prisonerblog.zapto.org

I am doing this already here in the UK - just got my first 34 litre batch finished from used cooking oil from the local kebab van and the engine purrrrrrs :o)

Check out my greasy oddessy at http://prisonerblog.zapto.org

Used cooking oil is currently a plentiful resource (I am turning down free oil because I have nowhere to store it) and life is sweet when you are fuel-independent!

I live in the UK and petrol / diesel prices are over $6 per gallon. In light of this, and the fact that petrol consumption is the cause of all kinds of environmental devastation (my girlfriend comes from Northern Spain, recently wrecked by the Prestige spill) and war, I have decided to make my own diesel fuel from waste vegetable oil.

Biodiesel and associated technologies can only ever be a part of truly sustainable glabal energy policy, but it has a large part to play in these early stages as it uses existing technology.

Not many people know that the original diesel engine ran on peanut oil!

I bought a cheap diesel car and built an oil refinery from scrap metal in my shed. I have made friends from my friendly, local, Kurdish kebab seller and I am well on the way to fuel independence.

Peace and grease!

Why not learn yourself how a DVD is made? What file structure & what files a dvd-player wants. Write scripts to avoid repetative tasks. But that is basically all these programs do. They write the files that a dvd-player requires, in the structure they need to be in. But thats for the menus, as far as the whole package with video stream & menus... you CAN do this in linux too using existing command-line programs

HOWTO - author AVI -> DVD with menus in linux

Yea... kinda geeky, and you will need to build a lot of scripts until somebody (OR you!) makes some sorta GUI version of it all.

I've simply tried to make do with games that don't require a whole lot of graphics. What graphics I do have, I generally draw in pencil on a piece of paper, scan that in, then color it in using either Paint Shop Pro or The Gimp. My artwork isn't all that good, but it really doesn't have to be if the game behind it is good. Whether my games are good is in the eye of the beerholder, but I do my best. But better art is usually the hardest thing to come up with, being more of a coder than an artist.

Been working on indie web games for a few years (Click my sig for that), and have just started messing around with PocketPC stuff. Insultor's really not a 'game', but it's pretty entertaining. :)
