Five Years of KDE
·
· Score: 1
KDE has really made some great strides in the last few releases... i think the best thing about it is it's integrated concept... making a bunch of apps that work really well together with the environment... oh wait, isn't that the reason we bash microsoft? anyway.. i DO like KDE, though
this is what a palm really needs

this is what has been standing in the way of handheld devices. you need to be able to say, "New apointment with whoever, whenever" and it needs to be able to accurately record that. I could care less about it talking back to you... but the input is what is important IMHO
i actually have one of these... it runs windows ce. i have tried various ways of getting mp3s into my stereo. this LOOKS like a stereo component... and it isn't loud like a computer is... plus it actually works pretty well
the postscript to the article is the worst... if you just read the documentation, changing the program that opens a file is easy. this article is terrible
i love the title of the post... it's not like it's hard to sequence a genome (especially of a bacterium) all it takes is time on a few sequencers and a few graduate students/lab assistants...
go read r3mix.net and tell me if you still encode 256 kbit mp3s afterwards. I have found that VBR encoding with the lame encoder (the new beta has the --r3mix command line option) in conjunction with Exact Audio copy has the best quality without eating through hard drives... it is mp3, after all; it doesn't sound that good. i think this is realistically as close as you can get without going overboard
i like that last line of the interview.
= i asked microsoft to give away everything that they had paid developers to make for the last 3 years for free...
i have the exact experience... we had 5 computers and a router on at all times, and our electric bill was $130 a month F that! so now we keep the boxen down except for our web/email server... and just boot on demand. i have yet to see if it makes a difference
my family rededicated a softball field at RPI a month or two ago, and there was a big hullaballoo because it was already named for some other people. have you heard anything about that?
windows nt 4 didn't come with the microsoft virtual machine... it had to be installed separately. i think it was because microsoft's was non-standard and was freaking sun out
we looked into putting conduit in, and it was against building code in ohio... i am moving home for a few months (HEY, i'm 21... just graduating) an i think i am going to wire for the hell of it. right now the kitchen is wired, but it was ~$100! oh well... i am going to do it myself. our whole house is wired for stereo, but that was done in the frame stage.
Foot and mouth is not viral. It is a prion. It is actually a misfolded protein that propagates other misfolded proteins. The normal protien is called PrP, and the misfolded protein is called PrPsc. Prp + PrPsc -> 2PrPsc. It is not a very fast process, and that is why it takes a pretty long time from infection to manifestation of symptoms. Foot and mouth, Bovine spongiform encephelopathy, and mad cow diesease are all Transmissible Spongiform Encephelopathies. They were originally studied (i think) in a tribe by a man named Gadjusek, and the disease was called Kuru, spread by ritual cannibalism. How fun!
Oooh.... let's think of something new, post it to slashdot, and wait and see how long it takes someone to say oohhh... i wish i could have a beowolf cluster of those....
plus it looks like it won't output the DTS 5.1 signal, which in my opinion is significantly higher quality than the dolby digital 5.1. if you have a dts receiver, and this won't output DTS, you're going to be pissed off.
yes, but what do you DO with this? Why would you run a cluster on some sort of proprietary/off brand powerPC boxes where if something stupid goes bad, you will have to pay an arm and a leg for it. however, the yellow rack looks cool (try putting it in a network operations center... they just might let you since it looks that cool)
I have found that exchange works a lot better than groupwise. I was on the admin end of groupwise, and that was a nightmare, and i have been on the user end of exchange, and not had any problems... so let them install it... at least the migration will keep you busy and you will get some overtime!
I can understand these things growing INSIDE the cabin. Lots of moisture probably, and heat. I read the related article, but is this stuff actually growing OUTSIDE mir? That would be kinda wacky, fungus growing in a complete vaccuum. Maybe there is some sort of CO2 and H20 rich microenvironment just outside of mir that it can use to grow. One thing for sure, to is that there is a LOT of radiation flying around in space. The article points out that it could cause the fungus to mutate into something more virulent. Don't panic though, because I think most all of the mutations would be lethal, especially since it has adapted to live in a weird environment like that. Of course it's that one wacky mutation that slips through that can make something weird happen. But from what i've studied, it takes a pretty freaking long time for random mutations to confer major advances in the way a complex organism lives.
I still want to know why people WANT to make vhs. A dvd is $14 from freakin dvd express. that is less than taking your girlfriend out to the movies... at least in cincinnati... you guys are all cheap fools who will support anything that spites a major corporation who actually has money

if you are this l33t and hi-tech... shouldn't you have in-dash gps with streaming traffic info via hacked 802.11 basestations? ha ha ha!

that is some awesome craftsmanship... i can't believe that the cd spinning in the open like that is stable enough to keep the game going!
if you don't want people sniffing you, run X apps tunneled through ssh, and all will be well
i was just excited to be the first post...
we need a first post moderation
looks interesting... HIGH GAIN BABY!

it is their program. they don't have to open source it if they don't want to. deal with it
