  1. FYI - Stimson Center Space Security Website on Do We Really Need Space Weapons? · · Score: 1
  2. You mean a Crosspad? on Electronic Class Notebook? · · Score: 4

    I use a 8.5x11 Crosspad from Cross Pen Computing group to take notes in all my classes.

    Although they are discontinued there is linux software to download the files and convert them to postscript. (A google search will suffice)

    The new Crosspad2 is in beta testing now (I know at Case Western) and it should be out pretty soon.
    I have seen one in use and it comes with a USB (in addition to serial) port plus a holder for the pen (unlike the original crosspad). It also has multiple "memory" notebooks for multiple classes/meetings.

    It really comes in handy and I have all my notes catergorized on my computer and I have been able to get rid of annoying notebook paper.

  3. Re:IBM playing tricks? on More Revealed on the IBM Linux Wristwatch · · Score: 1

    Um...I just went to seminar on this at Carnegie Mellon. And I wore one and it was real and it was neat and sexy and mmmmm..good

  4. We must keep a close eye.... on Microsoft Porting Applications To Linux (Really!) · · Score: 1

    Alright, MS ports Office to Linux (bla, bla) but what if they use some GPL (not LGPL) code to make everything smoother....bam! now they have a derivative work which must be free (as in mmmm tasty freedom).

    Also, who will buy Office for Linux, even many commercial apps (read: Wordperfect, netscape) are free because the companied know noone will pay. $600 for MS Office or run vmware, or run vnc, or walk down the hall, or run staroffice. (next thing you know you see a gigantic GNOME foot on the MS webpage...)

  5. Re:Xscribble? on More On The Compaq iPAQ Linux Handheld · · Score: 1

    Did you fix the problem with finding the recognizers. And where does it put that libli_recog.so file?

  6. Re:Xscribble? on More On The Compaq iPAQ Linux Handheld · · Score: 4

    Xscribble is a part CMU part SUN graffiti like inputting stuff. It seems to recognize graffiti like inputs. Get it at handhelds.org in the download apps src directory. It needs a few tweaks for i386 and it is picky about where its config files are located.

  7. Re:Whatever happened to ... on Napster Shut Down Until Trial · · Score: 1

    Um...simple greps?

    Ok...

    Metallica-Bla bla song.mp3
    M/e*'tal(lic&a-Bla bla song.mp3
    acillatem-Bla bla song.mp3
    Song (This really that other song..hint hint).mp3

    Yeah it will be harder to search but people will cope somehow...maybe a one way cipher (just encodes). So Metallica-bla bla song.mp3 becomes sdjfKUFHSkSDf234JSDBC.mp3 but you can't pull the first out of the second.

    I think Napster is just going to shut down the server. Use opennap!! Use gnutella!! Eat gnutella (it's tasty)!!

  8. Scheme for Neural Networks on What About Functional Languages? · · Score: 1

    I used Scheme to write a neural network after taking SICP in high school. It was slow, too slow, so now I write code mostly in C++. Hasn't this been discuss years ago, like in the 70s? With the arguement between those with the Lisp machines and those with those new fangled PCs? Yes, von Neumann architecture is inefficient but all of our money goes into optimizing it. I think I am rambling. (stop 'ramble now)

  9. Old stuff...new stuff on Where Are The WebPads? · · Score: 1

    I have a ricoh g1200s (1996-$4000 2000-$150) which is a 486 tablet comp. with pcmcia slots. Iam just going to pop in a wavelan card and use it.

  10. Well.. on Yahoo & Broadcast.com Dumping Real Audio for MS · · Score: 1

    I have been watching NASA-TV through broadcast.com with realplayer for the past couple days. But yes, the majority of feeds are only available in MS format.

  11. sound like hollywood to me on On Hollywood and the Portrayal of Computers · · Score: 1

    Isn't everything that hollywood puts out unrealistic?

  12. Re:Neural Nets and Crypto on Israelis Crack RSA 512 Bit in Microseconds · · Score: 1

    I have successfully been able to deduce primality using a simple backpropagation neural network. So, maybe factoring can be done...

    You can pick apart my paper at http://www.erols.com/mkatshym/Ex tendedEssay.ps.bz2.

  13. it is actaually worse than palm III on Palm IIIe Announced · · Score: 1

    According to http://www.palm.com/products/family.html the IIIe is neither expandle nor upgradable....

    why is it different?

    the confusion continues...

  14. um, rip off on Palm IIIe Announced · · Score: 1

    you can get a Palm IIIx (i did) for $250 from places like buy.com and shopping.com. and the IIIx has 4mb of ram.

  15. HD's aren't the problem...(or YEA BACKUS!!!) on Ask Slashdot: Breaking the Computing Bottleneck? · · Score: 1

    It is the "tube" between our CPU's and out memory....

    Yea Lisp, scheme, Turing, Backus....

    I'm done

  16. Xnn/Nn others and more on Open Source Neural Networks? · · Score: 1

    There is a plethora of open source neural networks out there, I myself wrote one in Scheme. SNNS is good so is Xnn/Nn (also does outputting of neural network c code). There is a FreeProp out there some place i think.

  17. I agree on Review:Wing Commander · · Score: 1

    I agree.
