LPD For Fun and MP3 Playing

poop writes "Most true Unix geeks will recognize just how nice LPD is as a distributed queueing mechanism for managing all jobs sent to the printer. But, what most people don't realize is that LPD can be used for other things too. In fact, it can be viewed as a general queueing mechanism with a few added bells and whistles for printers. So let's examine a more interesting use of LPD, an engine for distributed spooling of MP3s." Bruha points out this mirror.

    It's not like getting karma points is difficult. All you need to do is to make interesting and insightful posts on the topic at hand. I'll probably be modded down for this post, but no matter, I've got enough karma points.

    I guess if you're very dumb it's hard to get karma, but any intelligent person should get to 'karma: excellent' within a few days of posting without any efforts.

  4. The Chaplet of St. Joan of Arc by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The chaplet may be used as a novena (a prayer repeated once every day for nine days) or prayed at any time for any necessity throughout the year. A total number of nineteen beads on this chaplet commemorates each year of Joan's life. There are different chaplets for each saint. Therefore, the chaplet beads are arranged differently for each saint. You can find chaplet beads at any local Catholic bookstore. If they cannot be found there, I'm sure they'd be happy to look for them and order them for you. Just as you can count each "Hail Mary" of the Rosary on your fingers if you do not have the Rosary beads, you can say a chaplet on your fingers if you do not have the chaplet beads.

    Directions:

    On the medal, make the sign of the Cross, recite "Incline unto my aid, Oh God! Oh Lord, make haste to help me! Amen." Follow this with a Glory Be. On the first single bead on the strand, pray an "Our Father". On the second single bead on the strand, pray an "Our Father", and then continue by saying, "Saint Joan of Arc, immolated as a victim of the burning stake, pray that I may also become a victim by the faithful practice of all my duties as they pertain to me during my whole life."

    On the first group of five beads, say a "Hail Mary" for each bead. On the next divisional bead, Pray an "Our Father", and then recite, "Saint Joan of Arc, with you, I only wish to find my delight in practicing humility, charity, and penance, and all the virtues necessary to gain entrance into Heaven. Saint Joan of Arc, pray for us!" On the second group of five beads, say a "Hail Mary" for each bead.

    On the next divisional bead, pray an "Our Father", and then recite, "Saint Joan of Arc, be with me in all my struggles. Like the strong men of Israel, experienced in warfare, who constantly carry the sword at their side, to guard against unforeseen attacks during the night, may I ever be prepared for the combat. Together with the protection of the angels and saints grant me also your own; inspire my endeavours; be my help and my light to guide me to Jesus, our Chief, and when my earthly mission is accomplished, may I expire like you, repeating with love, 'Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!' - Saint Joan of Arc, pray for us!"

    On the third group of five beads, pray a "Hail Mary" for each bead. Conclude the chaplet on the medal, by reciting the following prayer: "Pray for us, Saint Joan of Arc, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ."

    And here we have another classy technique : somewhere in your post, use "I'll probably be modded down for this but ..." and everybody mods you up (or at least doesn't mod you down) because you're so brave to post what you *really* think and not care about your hard-earned karma. This one's a doozy too !
