Gentoo provides you with executable code, you answer some questions and you have a new install, although the process takes longer and is more configurable than say, downloading pre-built packages. Linux from Scratch, last time I checked, provides you with a document. Thats it. No packages. First you create and format your partitions (by hand, using fdsck and mkfs). Then you create your filesystem, (mkdir/usr/var/etc.....)
Um, did I install a different version of Gentoo to you? There was no install program, and all the install guide said was to use mkfs to create your partitions and what you might like to put in your configuration files...
Admittedly the stage tarballs make things easier, but it doesn't seem as different as you make out.
Funny you should ask. The site talks about using the new plex86 as an acceleration engine for Bochs. So, instead of emulating each x86 instruction, Bochs could leverage Plex86 and get a big 'ole speedboost.
Kevin's posted a very limited test case demonstrating this ability to the Bochs lists a bit ago.
He explains how he got Linux 2.5 running in his bochs-developers post. It explains things pretty well, and it sounds pretty fast already - Plex86 can concentrate on all of the user level code, while Bochs handles everything else.
There actual advisory from @stake that the article quotes can be found here - it's got a few more technical details and code fragments from the Linux kernel, but there's not really much else to say.
It also shows sample frame captures illustrating leakage of HTTP traffic.
No apology required - I understand your sentiment. I did however apologise to the original poster for my misunderstanding of the thread - I thought he meant that only other Neuros' can tune to the FM broadcast, and not standard radios.
It doesn't - I'm sorry, I misunderstood your post. I read the first post - "It will broadcast the music on low-power FM, so that any FM radio in your house can pick it up." and assumed everything else was in relation to that.
It also has an FM radio tuner built-in, but the FM transmitter appears to be what "KenMaier" mistook for the "wireless feature [that] lets you beam music from one Neuros to another". It kind of does that, but only as an analogue FM broadcast which the other Neuros can tune into, if I'm not mistaken.
You are - "MyFi allows you to broadcast the music on your Neuros through any FM radio. Like the one in your car. Or your kitchen. Or your coworkers boombox".
Sounds pretty much like a normal FM broadcast to me!:-)
What you want is Shazam - assuming you're in the UK that is!:-)
You dial a number, play a bit of music down the phone and you get an SMS message back identifying the artist and title, pretty nifty. It costs about 50p though. They add the "tagged" tracks to a personalised list on their site where you can buy them online and other neat stuff.
The AmigaOne G3 SE is a fairly generic ATX motherboard with 133MHz DIMM sockets, IBM 750CXe PowerPC chip (600Mhz), 4xPCI, 1xAGP, etc, etc.
It runs AmigaOS 4 or PPC Linux quite happily. Plonk one of these in a standard case and you've got yourself a DIY PPC solution.. or is that a bit too easy?:-)
Everything you mentioned took me about 10 minutes to accept and memorise, when I was about 10 years old.
I don't think I was especially gifted.. just willing to learn. I think older people especially need to accept that *shock* they don't know everything, and there's still things worth learning!
If everything's simple, easy to use and unchanging - where's the progress?
There's an XFS FAQ and a load more information about it on SGI's site - which points out that several large distributions have had XFS support for a while by default.
Still, it's noteworthy that Linus has finally accepted it into his tree...
Is there a quick, easy way to find out if OpenSSL is even installed on my system?
Do "telnet your.www.host 80" then type "HEAD / HTTP/1.0" and hit enter. Take a look at the "Server:" line, it'll tell you if OpenSSL is installed and enabled. If it is, and the version is less than 0.9.6e, you should upgrade.

There's also an article floating around written by Brad Fitzpatrick (LiveJournal creator) a while ago now.
If a journal site was using 6 databases in 2001, forgive me if I'm not impressed by the "Cluster World Expo" using four more, two years later.
I, for one, welcome our new invertebrate overlords.
I'd like to remind them that as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to... toil in their underground sugar caves.

- compiled Java classes,
- the uncompiled source (must have been put there deliberately), and
- a file "sw1.txt" containing all of the ASCII text used.
So it's easy enough to get at it all.On their website, they link to their own Harlem-client for Windows for browsing SMB shares.
:o)
It seems to work from outside of the party too - anyone looking for a few thousand Windows boxes with shared files on might want to take a look.
A friend of mine is building a personal server.

I'm not sure I'd use the word friend after this. I hope he's not paying for his bandwidth!

Who in his right mind would like to have his brain fondled by a MS product?
;-)
Well, if you're in your right mind, you probably don't need brain surgery!

:-)
I worry sometimes, I really do.

Oops. Ah well, panic over for a while.

Presumably this also means that if you're using their "cell", they can charge you what they like. I can see their motivation ...

There's a fairly detailed run down on what the worm does in this bugtraq post.
This includes such highlights as email scanning and at least three different flood attacks...
There's more Google news posted on the Google Weblog, if anyone's interested.
:-)
Plus, they don't seem to repeat stories
I presume "mol" is referring to the Mac-on-Linux project.
WinRAR supports bzip2... kind of shot yourself in the foot there
It's still not very nice, but at the bottom of "NeoAudio.rtf" in the source (available from their site) it says:
I guess this and the GPL licence means they might technically be doing nothing wrong.
Because it took less time to hit reset than it did to type the path the your program in and run it :)
