okay I'm tired of ICANN to the point where I think we need to make our own free distributed dns system. I think I've said this before, but USENET has the right idea with cataloging newsgroups. I think this model in itself is what we should follow. news.slashdot is pretty explanatory to the point that you'd have to be Jon Katz not to get what the site contained. The possibilites would be endless, but I see a need for a domain system like this becoming more and more apparent as I have to pay $40 to have dugnet.com. I would have much rather just pointed to an ip through personal.dugnet... see how easy this would be to arrange?
I'm more than willing to help with this project if anyone else is interested in joining, making a team, or humoring me:-)
3D Linux is not only the next step it's probably the future of computers in the next 10 years. Think about it. We have peripheral vision and sound. And we can move our heads quite easily. Look at how much of our senses we're wasting when using a standard computer. I know none of these projects are designing the WM for VR helmets or any VR hardware for that matter, but wouldn't that be the next step? Basically all you need is alot of processing power and memory and the 3D computer world becomes the world that you like and don't want to go back from... ever.
I don't know who will actually read this, but my first programming experiences were at the age 9 with an Apple IIe. Apple has a perfect beginners programming program. Basically you bought software or you made software. That's what I loved about the Apple II. Just because I learned how to program Basic and even more indepth High-Resolution Basic. Doesn't mean I immmediatelly moved to the mac and began programming on that just because apple made it.
Next I moved into the Dos/win3.1 world and found QBasic which was alot like apple except for the graphics end and also had a large user group and nice documentation. Hence I began to take my knowledge of Apple IIe's Basic and program on QBasic.
After a while I found HTML. Like Basic this language was easy and had pleanty of documentation for it. So I started creating webpages. Then along came CGI and JavaScript. So my webpages began to do all kinds of neat things.
Now that I'm in college I'm learning C++. And I'm making programs for not only win32, but also Linux and BeOS...
So your theory that "Learn on MS always use MS" really doesn't hold much water with me.
Hypothetical... but what would happen if the windows source code was released onto the internet... (ie DeCSS)... even if it was deemed illegal and the distributors were arrested... the code would still live on and become what might be the downfall of MS.
Think about it... not a rogue OS based off of MS code... but thousands upon thousands of exploits would turn up thus any computer connected to the internet through a (sarcasm) "secure" internet connection would now be at risk.
Another hypothetical... company A comes out with a product that can run all win32 binaries... this os is based off of the source code of windows but is a closed source project. This project is then suspected by MS... but it would take illegal reverse engineering or a court warrent to confirm... thus another downfall to MS.
One more question I have... If MS is SOOO concerned about their code... why the hell is it so easy to remote access it?
Next generation NASA will start to make space crafts in space... thus making bigger better spacecrafts...
where's this post going? Well let's think about it... if you're going to go somewhere wouldn't you want to know as much about the place as possible before you got there?
yep hence why there's probes. As for the 120 bits per second... let's see... how old is gallileo? Yeah that's what I thought... and is it still working? exactly.
You don't see people whipping out their tandys and saying "hey this will work just fine for me... it can type add and print" nope... not NASA... they've got a rather pricey old POS in space that even if you make fun of it... it still rocks.
So rock on gallileo... and would everyone quit whining about the technical specs of a device SO old. BTW... you can't imagine a beowulf cluster on one of them... and it doesn't run linux.
Anyone else notice that unless it's a *ix/ux enviroment that this isn't a language for you...
Being interested in C++ programming myself I decided to see if maybe I couldn't compile a binary using Cygwin... I was wrong:-)
So anyone else interested in maybe helping to make a port of this "universal" language for say... windows/mac/be/qnx(haven't tried compiling under qnx yet) ???
This is very true, but in perspective there are let's say to be... well conservative... at least 500 submissions a day. Now let's see about how many are duplicates... that takes away about 40%... so we're to 40*5 = 200 500 - 200 = 300:-)...
300 submissions now... then there's junk... let's take away another 200.... (60%)... or if we're going through the total... (40%)
so yeah... we're at ummm 100... once we're to this point... is where my original post comes in to play...
I guess I am just confused as to what makes a slashdot article. Business news, sometimes (So long as it includes MS (or someone they own) VA, redhat, or andover) World news (sometimes), Technical news (so long as it's an idea that will never make it off the ground, costs too much, or deals with linux), Neato Questions (so long as they can be answered with a simple netsearch), and messages that they've been hacked (so long as they really have).
This post was made to poke fun, be flaimbait, be funny, be insightful, but mainly just to make people a little more aware... and maybe even slashdot as a whole.
Okay this is wonderful... everyone proposes these wonderful ideas about TLD's... let's see....gov... ohh yeah that's the american government....gov.uk wait how come.gov isn't.gov.us ?? hmm
Another thing... even if the creation of.xxx or.sex came about... I see no reason why a commercial sex site would do that... automatically gets into blockers and such...
Then there's the wonderful idea of regulating the domains... ahh yes....org is for non-profit orginizations only... right? Whoa hold on there what's slashdot.org... ohhh yeah... commercial news site.
So here's my proposal... I say GOODBYE ICANN... and hello FREECANN... I have no idea how to get something like this off the ground, but imagine a distributed database that linked domains for... let's hear it... FREE... and anyone could add them... we'll call it First Come... First Serve... and screw 3 letter limit I say we make.news.stuff.linux... it will be like USENET And IRC And FREENET combined into one...
Lost ya? okay IRC... There's regulation services that hold channels for you... but it's still first come first serve... if they decide to not use the channel the service is ended... then theres USENET... a bunch of alt.whatever.sex and everyone knows by the name what the newsgroup has. Then theres FREENET the unregulatory shared filesystem that anyone can join and view...
I was posting on the release of 7.0 last week and mentioning that all.0 releases of redhat are so full of bugs and security holes that no one could possibly ever want to use a.0 version of redhat...
Okay this man is obviously one of the smartest people in the entire world if not... the smartest astrophysicist to date. If this man was not disabled then maybe we'd take it just a little more seriously, but it's more fun to make jokes and give them a rating of 5 because people don't want to hear bad news. Believe it or not the way we treat this planet and the rate that population is increasing coming to the realization that there will be an end to the world may not be that far fetched of an idea.
As for hot spells and acid rain... Acid rain is nothing new to the world... just ask anyone in L.A.... And hot spells... let's go into the gobi and ask people there how they feel about hot spells...
Acapolyptic literature has been around since the begining of time... hence the book of revelations... people need fear it's a driving force...
Okay... MS is corrupt enough... is it REALLY that big of a surprise the the richest company in the world might have had the son of one of the judges defend them... I mean is anyone really that surprised at this?
about MS appealing... they will be appealing for the next 20 years... bet me:-)
you can also make a beetle travel at the speed of light... though it does require that you strap three or four warp drives to the top of it... not to mention the procedure requires a ton of duct tape.
Undernet and Dalnet are corperately ran for th emost part... and they're protected and moderated more-so too... but the reason dalnet and undernet are still up is sheer bandwidth and server numbers... undernet has some 70 servers and dal has a few less... while EF has around 15 working right now... there's just not the bandwidth... not to mention... dos attacks have taken out ebay yahoo and other huge sites... so who knows what will happen.
I was listening to the LUG address and most of my questions were answered. The one question that I can't seem to get answered is with all the open sourced pieces of the indrema will you not be opposed to someone going along and designing maybe not an emulator but a gaming shell or even os for linux and then distributing it freely?
The other question I have would be... do you plan on having someone scream Indrema in your commercials... because I can be that guy:-)

We do see in 3D and you saying that depth perception is a way of viewing things supports this ...

nevermind ... they finally fixed it ...
Well this is confusing ... CNN.com has Bush winning Rohde Island on the main page, but has gore winning it on the detailed page ...

mind sending over the ports then?
