  1. poor choice for a contemporary RTS game... on UC Berkeley Offering Starcraft Course · · Score: 2, Informative

    ... they should instead use TASpring (see also spring.jobjol.nl ) which, besides being free software, has a huge community behind, is cross platform and developed with talent and passion.

    the Balanced Annihilation mod really lets you enjoy strategy to a decent level of detail, while slashdot readers should really have a look at the geeky Kernel Panic mod ...

    cheers from XXX
    with due rezpect to LAP, eXe and others ;^)

  2. he has several pending charges... on Next G8 President Wants To "Regulate the Internet" · · Score: 1

    ... and to get away with them changed the judges and the constitution... there is a popular italian blog being translated in english, one of the most popular blogs in the world actually. http://www.beppegrillo.it/

    he is a comician, his tones are satira, humor is one of the last things left to italians to stand such a corrupted government.

  3. Re:Containers... on Theora 1.0 Released, Supported By Firefox · · Score: 1

    theora is a video codec, mkv and ogg are multiplex containers.

    all ogg/vorbis/theora files play on VLC and, since they are open, they'll enhance their compatibility in future.

    (so you are wrong, as often do people declaring to speak the truth)

  4. dyne:bolic on Fast-Booting OS for Usually-Off Appliance PCs? · · Score: 1

    you can try dyne:bolic is a quick snap to boot from CD or USB or copying a dir over samba, plus it comes with lots of apps pre-installed, less than 700MB of occupation

  5. Open Source Health Care Alliance on Gates Foundation Vs. Openness In Research · · Score: 1

    Anyone heard of it? http://www.oshca.org/

    ciao

  6. about the importance of language on US No Longer Technology King · · Score: 1


    In my experience of german and dutch language,
    understanding them - at least in a written form - lets you access a lot more geeky stuff :)

    The post forgot to mention The Netherlands BTW.

    ciao

  7. does money makes you a software expert? on Microsoft May Become Major Opponent of Patents? · · Score: 0, Troll

    i don't understand, i REALLY don't understand:

    How can happen that someone gets to talk in a LinuxWorld conference just because he is a multi-millionaire that bought Debian and made his own brand with it?

    Now we're listening to rich donors instead of real developers.

    I'll be glad in 2 or 3 years when all this open source hype will be finished...

  8. it was there already on Japanese Researchers Develop Sensor Skin · · Score: 2, Interesting

    at least something very similar to it, and patented by Sony: www.csl.sony.co.jp/person/rekimoto/smartskin BTW one of the developers of smartskin is the author of effectv.sf.net i'd rather add that slashdot news are getting lousier every day, please keep it up.

  9. video and performance on Art Tips For Programmers? · · Score: 1

    hi,

    you might want to have a look at FreeJ http://freej.dyne.org/ which is free software i developed myself and adopted in dance/theatre performances.

    also take a visit to http://www.piksel.no/ which is a symposium held in Norway every year, gathering many free software developers engaged in the video art field.

    ciao

  10. what about diebold? on Indymedia Server Raided by FBI · · Score: 4, Interesting

    My supposition is the following:

    Diebold threatened the italian indymedia website, along with other
    IMC hosted there, one year ago, for hosting documents discussing
    the numerous scandals about their voting system.

    This case was taken up by the EFF and they WON in court.

    Now, just before the elections in USA, Diebold is coming back
    under cover to strike back.
    Of course they will never declare Diebold is behind all this.
    Then who would be next, slashdot? just search "Diebold" in the archives if you
    don't remember well wassup...

    of course, just my 2 cents

  11. the makrolab experiment on Laptop vs. Small Desktop: Best Bang Per Watt? · · Score: 1

    check out what the ljudmila crews did with the makrolab experiment. looks a bit like a moon module, made to survive in very hostile environments.

    i've been living a whole 20 days into it, without getting out (was on Campalto island out of Venice, 100 meters of diameter). amazing to learn how much you consume with your geekiness, eh.

    there are also some photos here.

    the makrolab module is working with a windmill and 4 solar panels. i can tell you that 2 windmills in a stormy day would make as much as 4 BIG solar panels in a hot summer day - and i guess you would be pretty free to run lots of gear on top of that, as much as we had there.

    computing in the wild is big phun, go for it.

  12. Re:Showed? on Boot a CD and Make Your X-Box Join the Cluster · · Score: 1

    sir, i'm proud to be italian.

    feel free to call me mario bros (funny one),
    i just don't speak your language.

    spaghetti pizza mandolino and presidente scemo.

    ciao :)

  13. Re:The /. story and the article are both incorrect on Boot a CD and Make Your X-Box Join the Cluster · · Score: 1

    dyne:bolic has a bootloader signed by the xbox-linux project, which means you can use bugs as the one in mechassault game to boot linux on a UNCHIPPED xbox.

    regarding the cluster issue you raise: we only tried to make it work with a pure OpenMosix cluster, I can't assure it works with any other cluster.

    anyway the ZDNet article mentions the chipping need and reports my declaration about napolitans thru the world, if that's enough for you.

    i love zealots

  14. dyne:bolic & knoppix on GNU/Linux bootable CD on XBOX: dyne:bolic · · Score: 1

    dyne:bolic and knoppix are both CD bootable distributions, but they are quite different

    (and i'm glad it is so, we don't have a duplicate effort here)

    i try to go thru it as i see it:

    1) dyne:bolic has no compiler and no package manager - it is out of the box, you don't change it and you cannot add software

    2) you can't install dyne:bolic, it just runs from the CD and you'll be soon able to save settings on floppy, usb-dongle or a file on your HD

    3) dyne:bolic is compiled from scratch with a gcc 3.2 and optimized for i586 MMX, while knoppix is a i386 debian build

    4) dyne:bolic doesn't includes duplicate applications to solve the same task, limits the choice to what I (the Mantainer) think is the best. It's a kind of slackware approach: i love Patrick Volkerding way to do it and i hope somebody will love me too :) and it helps to keep the distro smaller.

    5) knoppix is more for office use (besides the customizations of it, like the MAME you mention) while dyne:bolic is more multimedia oriented (see the applications included)

    6) you have free space in dyne:bolic CDs so that you can customize it and include video or sound

    7) dyne:bolic includes dyne.org softwares

    i'm surely not mentioning all i should mention here and probably i'm not depicting all the functionalities knoppix has more than dyne:bolic, but at the end i'm not really selling anything - it's all free so, i hope you enjoy variety :)

    i'm just wondering if knoppix will be bootable on XBOX or not

  15. Re:someone at SGI developed this 5 years ago on The ASCII Cam · · Score: 2

    nope, i did not used that code

    i started coding hasciicam on the code from xawtv's webcam by gerd knorr

    the idea to make it html is the new thing
    i'm not the first putting ascii into video !

    i said CONSOLE LIVE MODE screenshots
    how can i show you that without images?

    png are done with gimp without editing
    tell me more about your problems...

  17. Re:False Advertising on The ASCII Cam · · Score: 1

    slow down

    to see asciicam on lynx you need to customize size of rendered html

  18. Re:Cipher on The ASCII Cam · · Score: 1

    oh well,
    never thought about using hasciicam for chyphering
    if you do so be sure to check out the flag into hasciicam.c that says:

    ascii_parms.randomval = 0;
