When I was young me a brothers defaced everything my parents had every full moon or every coming storm. I can still see the empty faces of my parents knowing a storm was ahead.
I swear it works this way. I even know the lyrics of song I thought my little brothers:
"Alles in de wind, alles in de wind, daar liep een schipperskind"
Well not quite "hobby" anymore since this story happened; one night I was working late behind my computer and I didn't have a musical inspirition so I went out with some friends, when I came home and watched on the computerscreen, it had generated a track out of nowhere, I listened to it, it was awsome. The rest is history (yeah I'm quite famous and rich now!)
(would be fun eh? but it's not true however..I'm still working quite hard myself to make cool tunes)
this really happened - for real - once:
One winter-night I was slashdotting really late at my parents place. They live in a 600 year old house with parts that are even a little older than that. I felt quite tired but kept on reading comments and downloading some stuff I really didn't need. At one moment the printer turned itself on and started to make some noise like it was cleaning the heads or whatever and a paper slit into the printer. It scared me a little because I knew I wasn't messing with the printer and hadn't print for a couple of days. Then I heard it print and the page came out:
Does it work on an x86 processor as well with linux?
and they never had the taste of tea quite right.

What about hacking linux to a ps2?
I know sony has already worked it out for the japanese ps2, but you need extra hardware to run it.
What about running it of a cdrom only, yes you'll need to modify the ps2, otherwise it won't recognise the cdrom you put linux on.
Has anyone already done this or is anyone working on it?
Ok nice article, I'm a student artificial intelligence and we learn a lot from looking at how nature solves certain problems.
But why had the writer have to make such an unintelligent uber-irritating explanation on a not so difficult word in his writing that makes me want to throw up on his face?
It's a trend that came with the abbreviation-era when the commerce came to the internet. You see it a lot when people want to have their new buzzword included in day2day(c)marketing/commerce/blabla talk. I understand that it's difficult for those people to learn new hollow expressions and keep up with their affiliates or whatever.
But it's really disgusting to this trend leaking thru in a fairely normal article..
yup you are totally right there.
I think most security experts and bug testers aren't of the malicious kind, but some are however.
But reconsider your actions if you want to write your godzilla worm: some governments are likely to take advantage by of this by making it an excuse to restrict the internet instead of falling for open source solutions.
Nothing's new here. Every ten days someone's pulling this off in the senate or whatever you're calling your last straw of democracy in the U.S.A.. I'm feeling sad a nation is flowing into such a strict code and intelligent people know about it and there's not much you can do (please make a special forum or something for this). It's not deliberately law is turning into big brother but undelibarately due to strings of simple laws and simple people who make decissions who don't understand the big picture. Don't make my comment a flame but think about this. We can whine about this like allways and put the usual comments and get , but please oh please why don't we make a real forum for people who worry about these things and want to make a real difference, instead of making a little bit of slashdot karma on comments which are only screened by google and perhaps the infamous echelon bots. (yeah right!). If you have a good forum for it please post it.
So now all of a sudden everybody can make a public enemy remix, are they desperate?
I'm a drum 'n bass producer and I made some remixes of japanese rapmusic into something really cool, it costed me a lot of difficult phonecalls to explain what I wanted (I met these people when I was insanely drunk in a hidden club in Tokyo, 9th floor - Roppongi) After that I just got their latest cd, their manager just didn't understand English.. ok it's better than nothing, try finding it on napster!!
I know of people using public enemy samples in their tracks ( the old school stuff like "brothers and sisters.... for the wall(or somting like that) they paid (their companies did) a lot of money to clear these flavor flave samples..
I really dont understand what they are doing now, do they want me to download their one-liners for free and make them more popular for nothin?
I don't think so. (already ripped clean jimi reduction - try it, if you know what I meanhendrix vocals using sonic foundries noise ).

Boy there were fun and definately knew what they were doing , most of them sat behind me all day watching my steps while I was introduced to my first mp3's (remember "20th century boy" - that was the big hit at that time) and while I was making space on my system and playing ultraloud drum 'n bass on my stereo.
Why, you ask yourself, were those guys sitting behind me all the time? Well hip 97 was during a heathwave and I happened to be the only one that had a big van! Sometimes things are really that simple.
By the way this time I'm going again and I'm going to take 60 gb of drum 'n bass with me so everyone can play it out loud there, yeah! I know what music the secret service likes.
I used to play a game called alien online where you raise stats on your alien by battling other peoples aliens etc. like a bbs game there were many sub-games where you could make money to buy better equipment. There was a nice hangman game, and after playing it a couple of times I realized I sucked at it. So I wrote a program (costed me a couple of days of freetime) in PHP using the excellent Snoopy class file (to navigate over the pages) that could beat any hangman game not by storing all answers but by generating an answer using a large dictionary and making intelligent guesses, my success rate was 85%, not bad.. After running the script for 2 hours I realized their dictionary was very limited and there were only 500 guesswords so I could only make something like 1500 gold.
I hadn't thought of that, I would had made far more when I just played regular. But my friends were impressed and we had a good laugh.
Music equipment (synthesizer modules, samplers etc.) fits in the same boxes and vice-versa. These boxes for the music equipment aren't expensive, so you should try out the local studio hardware dealer.
What I've read about it the harddrive allows you run linux on the system. But it should be possible to run linux from a cdrom with a pre-installed port of mame, then swap cd's in order to access your own roms.
Has anyone been playing with this idea as well or perhaps has seen a cdrom only version of linux for the ps2?
"couldn't be done in the pre-Net era."
I remember when I was five my grandma and I used to fold a paper up, I would draw a face on one of the little parts, then I would fold it away and leave some marks where the neck ended. She'd then draw the body fold it away and leave some marks where it ended. Finally my grandfather would draw the legs.
I'm from Europe.. Finally i got my case today! i got the latest liquid cooled koolance case to store my new studio computer in, I drove about 2 hours to get it. My first impression was I was wondering why they didn't cool the power supply andwhy I found myself stranded without a video cooling system on my dual "slot 370" cooling system. I connected everything and I must say this is the case you should go for, eventhough the powersupply had a normal cooling system it still sounded like, like nothing only the air going past your ear. So the koolance case would be #1.
I'm going to use my computer as a studiosystem that means I am going to wait for the maxor drives (5 weeks left) they are not going to produce a irritating noize, if you cannot wait go for the deskstars (from ibm).
Maybe it's going to be difficult to understand; my next machine is an ultraquied 160 gb 2x 1 gighz pIII with 1 Gigabyte of ram for less than $2500 (endprice in europe, even cheaper in us I guess).

They should make a searchengine based on this information where you can make you own graphs with your own parameters.
They ported some programs to Irix, which is a unix version for SGI systems.
There already is one! I have it in divx on my harddrive.
