Can you imagine a beowulf cluster of these amazon monkeys spamming your account!?!? With each node running Bonobo/Spider Monkey so they can embed mass mailing clients in their arse... This is what you might call Spit-Shitting on the client, they are there to serve.
You seem to be a bit disappointed that it can only hold 8 seconds with the one gig upgrade.. firstly, what benefit do you gain from watching 8 seconds of video at 32,000 frames _per_ second ? Probably none... But here is the fun part, play it back at a regular 24/30 fps and you've got 1000 seconds/16 minutes or so of playback time.....
Its HELLUVA fun watching the hummingbird's wings at that fps:>
Its a helluva day to overuse the word helluva.
Typical Government thinking: Why build one, when you can build two @ three thousand times the price.
By the time 2015 rolls around there will have been billions and billions of dollars spent, millions of (wo)man hours wasted on beauacracy and politics, etc etc...
but at least the UN will have bragging rights when it comes to who can outspent who... Maybe when Leonardo Dicraprio is elected president of the US in 2016 he'll up them one and sink this ship straight into the ground
Bad Bad things are on the horizon, although nobody wants to say it, the FBI/NSA probably already has taken their seat in many places you wouldnt want them.
Maybe we can do something to make it harder for them.. Much like an ATM (bank machine) that generates/transmits random data when it's idle, maybe flooding the net with useless data would be effective in this situation as well. ie. Build a client or some sort of automated system (maybe built into your fav mail client) that encrypts useless data to 10 of your friends, those 10 friends do the same, and so on... every little bit counts, may seem feeble and hopeless but if they have to spend even 5 minutes more analyzing the junk coming from EVERYWHERE, its worth it.
IIRC and I may not, the Fusion reactors the Soviets and Americans are buildings, the heat generated is magnitudes higher than convential system can metallurgy can cope with... Could carbon nanotubes be part of the solution to this problem ?
Although I'm no expert on gaming (last one I played was Quake 1 , then dopewars a few years ago).. pushing for maximum FPS *Can* be a good thing , even if it is beyond a persons visual perception. I'm making this guess based on how the FPS checks are run... in a quiet battle field of quake 3 at 1024x768 brand "X" card can do Y frames/sec... now throw in three raging bots, two head hunters and all sorts of wizz bang visual effects and maybe rate Y with equal Y/2.. ? (Or maybe CPU performance affects this much more than I think ? Somebody care to comment on that ?)
Okay, next time somebody says "rf -rf / will make your system faster " in a story, please make sure its in Italics and quoted...
and the warning was added aftwards.. the thing here is, from the looks of it, Hemo's doesn't bother to read the story, just looks where quotes should begin and end, then write some fluff to make it official... Ya, Thats really good journalism.. I'm sorry that doesn't make a person a journalist, otherwise I'd be one, despite this run-on sentence.
Is the slashdot crew responsible for anything then? If thats the case then I want a nice paying job with these guys where I can toss up any old cruft that I find.
Question: Does the slashdot crew actually Read the submission before hand ? Some of this stuff is ridiculous, if they did read this one, absolutely no thought whatsoever went into editing it.
that probably isn't the right terminal emulation , in fact , i believe 'tvi910' would be the proper termcap entry to use. But it works , halfassed, but good enough for irc:)
it took a lot of playing around with , with no success.. then one day, my system rebooted itself after the power went out, then everything worked fine.... knock on wood. Maybe I was playing with setserial too much:)
My bedside Televideo-910 dumb-terminal probably qualifies as vintage computer equipment. It must be at least 20 years old, sits next to my bed so i can chat away on IRC when I wake up in the middle of the night...
There are a few options as far as aftermarket products go.. the first one I can think of is Dynamat, the other is roadkill, and there is another spray on sound insulation that i forget that name of.. the first two are asphalt based mats (maybe 3/16" thick) that ya lay down over the base metal underneath the carpet.. Does a great job of reducing road noise but its a bit expensive (actually really expensive if you want to do your whole car, or even do two layers of the stuff)
Canada has long been known a harbour to some of the most infamous nazi's from wwii.. the RCMP has gathered more than enough info on many of them, yet the gears aren't turning.. maybe Isreal can use this info, to what extent I could only speculate.
Audio mixing.. The the next part is not a joke but a real example of something i did just a few weeks ago. Two big 60 meg wav files.. The first one was Julie Andrews - Doh Ray Me (from the sound of music)... the was the product of a lowpass filter on some heavy bass hitting rap some (dont remember the song).. I was laying one on top of the other so as to produce a very cool and 90's kind of Julie Andrew beat..
on a machine with 128 meg ram it would swap to death and backwards and tear the life out of this disk... But with 512, Its pure bliss.
Now imagine slashdot.org with 128 megs ram -> You'll never be able to read this comment the server will be so fucked by the amount of hits and queries. i'm making a pretty good guess the slashdot servers have 512 at least in them.. if not, you boneheads at slashdot should get a clue.
Anybody made a Q3 map of columbine school yet ? It would be particularly interesting if the monsters were dressed up as teachers and principles and such, maybe even students with cellphones as weapons, bang bang!
Frankly I'm a little sick and tired of some of the people that have just started using Linux, Ya, I know I should be kind and helpful and all that, and I will be helpful and kind, I'm ready to answer any questions I can, to help somebody get a solid understanding of linux and how it works, etc, etc, etc, etc, to my point...
There seems to be a group of you, and I think I know who you are... You've been using Linux for about a year, maybe eighteen months... You probably dual boot or have a Lose98 machine handy.. You pretend to know a lot about linux , You talk a lot when it comes to linux and boast how great it is, how it can do everything and anything, Well except for StarCraft and Quicken... and then you go on to bash RedHat, you know all the profane variations of the Redhat name (redhate, deadrat, rudehat, etc, probbaly another 80 or 90 that I dont know aobut yet).. you continually blast it for being Insecure, full of bugs, unstable, etc etc etc etc, stop repeating what other people say, think for yourself for once...
Let me tell you knuckleheads something, before you go Bashing RedHat, and its a very good distro, yes, even Linus Torvalds uses Redhat (wow, he must be some Lamer dude eh ? ) the Security issue, Okay, two things here, I'll grant you the latitude to bash redhat for their default inetd.conf configuration (its a bit Strange).. But you've got to learn to tidy those things up, if you dont, You aren't worthy to administer a Linux box, Sorry guys thats the way it is. 2nd thing with security, RedHat has probably the best support when it comes to bug/exploit fixes for their rpms, just check their errata page every week to see if something new has popped up (or get on the mailing list, it'll send you mail when a Security Alert has been issued)...
ya, okay, then you go ahead and say "HEY LOOK AT ALL THOSE BUG FIXES ON REDHATS ERRATA, THEIR DISTRO MUST BE FULL OF BUGS AND EXPLOITS !!!!!" I've heard crap very similar to this many times.. Okay you knuckleheads, First of all, when somebody discovers a bufferoverflow in SSH or whatever package you can think up, MANY MANY TIMES it is not distro specific, in english, that means IT AFFECTS ALL Distributions, "OH MY GAWD, DEBIAN IS TAINTED !!! BUT ITS THE PERFECT DISTRO !!! ONLY REAL HACKERS USE DEBIAN!!!!!" (Debian is a great distro, good work you guys, not trying to put you down or anything here)..
Oh, I almost forgot Redhat is the next Microsoft of Linux, how many times have I heard that from you schmucks lately , ohh, lots. I dont have to sit here and prove that it cant happen, I'll be wasting my time, because I know it cant.
The Linux community has Benefitted and profitted so much from Redhat, You just dont know it, 90% of the people that fit into that (1 year to 18 month) range JUST DONT KNOW what they've done, and you guys keep repeating the bullshit your script kiddy friends say.... your all pissing me off.. There is a lot of good info for you guys that is available on the web, even here on slashdot regarding the last 6 or 7 years of Linux History, I SUGGEST YOU ALL GO READ IT AND LEARN. Dont be afraid of the commmandline, I know you guys are scared of that thing, its easy as pie , type ls , rm ~/.netscape/cookies , vi/etc/inetd.conf.. wow, hard eh..
Either grow up and learn to accept their will be bugs and weird things happening in the first major release of a distro or the alternative is, You better be holding your precious SuSe/debian/mandrake/corel/ distro the same ugly standard as you do redhat when they make a first release.
I started to read about 8 lines into this article and quit because of what the first artist had to say "its a time honored tradition to be paid" (or sumtin like that, for their music)... No, This is your greedy speaking for your mouth, its a typical response of a person who feels cheated or abused, whatever makes them feel good inside, they will say.... Remember there was a time, not so long ago, when a Dean Martin or Sinatra would release a song and EVERYBODY would be singing it (and no royalties to the original artist, just the credit.).. Ya, You dont believe me, go back and read your history, You will be Humbled you self centered egotistical ME GENERATION
I couldn't stop thinking of the movie Alien with Sigourney Weaver, remember the scenes where she's inside the giant robot.. very cool scene at the end when she's fighting the Alien and saves the child and android.

Right Here, sit back and wait if your in mozilla

I believe the company's name was "Hotrail" ... but I could be wrong on that one
Well thats the whole point of this...

But were they quality posts ? I'd rather see 10 insightful and thought provoking posts than 1000 rants of meaningless drivvle.

Why didn't I submit an comment, well I dont understand the DMCA, I'd sound like a bumbling idiot on any of the subject matter.
I haven't had the time to sit down and read all 1000+ pages of the legal text of the DMCA yet
