We did two hardware board designs with the DEC Alpha 21064 and 21066 back in 1992. The architecture and the processor were far ahead of it's competitors then (64-bit architecture, 150 MHz).
LiveConnect is a Good Thing. It's not only communication with plugins, but with Java as well.
It works with Netscape on all platforms and even with MSIE (but only on the Windows platform).
I started programming computers before I had learned the English language. I think this is an advantage rather than a disadvantage. The words (of the programming language) you learn are not occupied by a meaning of daily life.
I think this is true generally working in a special field: use foreign words and they mean exactly one sharp defined thing.
Another pleasant effect: I have learnt quite a few English words due to my occupation with computers (not only programming languages).
And there is the clock issue: The sampling clock (8 kHz for telephony) of the sender side must be reconstructed at the receiver. This recovery depends mainly on the QOS.
And the delay between sender and receiver: if you choose it too small, a lot of packets will be lost (due to varying delay, only the fast packets will arrive in time) - if you choose it too large it's getting very nasty for the human user.
I have to protest reading this! Information theory is not as simple as this (bandwith of 3000 Hz -> 3 kbps throughput).
Half a century ago a clear mind named SHANNON found a formula on data rate:
R = B * log2 [ 1 + P/N ]
where B is the bandwidth and P/N the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the channel.
This formular gives an UPPER BOUND on what may be transmitted through a given band. It get's worse when noise is present (what always is the case) and one may compensate by increasing power.
I found the formula and more interesting information at this URL: http://www.adc.com/Corp/BWG/MSD/qammmds.html
I completely agree to this. I did enjoy reading this book very much, and I think it has opened new horizons to me. Here's a URL about the topic: http://www.superstringtheory.com/
It doesn't work the way you describe it, that every satellite tells you your position, and it's getting better, the more satellites you receive.
All the satellite does send is the exact time and it's actual position. It takes the signal of at least four satellites and a bit of simple geometry to calculate your actual position (and the current time as a side product). It get's better with more satellites, as errors are averaged out.
There are four unknown variables: longitude, latitude, height and time.
Thus the signal of four satellites is needed to calculate the position in space. Given that you are on ground, the height is known, and three satellites may be sufficient to determine longitude and latitude.
This is not the case for an aircraft though:-), but maybe the GPS receiver unit contains a Rubidium clock, making the time a known value.
But why do I get this message: ./mozilla-bin: error in loading shared libraries:/home/tiemann/incoming1/package/components/libucvj a2.so: undefined symbol: assign_with_QueryInterface__13nsCOMPtr_baseP11nsIS upportsRC4nsIDPUi
Well now, after I have seen the movie, I must admit that the New Order song is audible for a couple of seconds only, during Richard and Sal are shopping in the city. Not much a reason to watch the movie...
I don't know many details about Wavelan (yet), but I have an application of an "outdoor network" in mind and wonder, if it is feasible.
An area of about 3km x 3km shall be covered with multiple access points of a wireless LAN. I know that 3 km are clearly beyond the reach of radio between two Wavelan nodes but maybe if the nodes operate as relay stations, it is possible. What makes things even more difficult: the system shall work in a forested area.
Can a Wavelan guru tell me, if this idea is completely crazy?

I know how boring it is to work on a platform where no reasonable browser is available. I used a copy of Netscape 2 for DEC-Unix on a Linux/Alpha machine.
Many sites around started to use version 3 and version 4 browser features. And there was just no browser available on Linux/Alpha that did support it.

It's a pity that the Alpha had not more success!
Take the square root before converting to inches. It is large, but not *that* large.
Spell it "Perl vs. Python".

Recently I read a manual document coming with Postgres, and according to it MySQL isn't worth any time spend in using or even developping it

I have read CmdrTaco's post and thought I have not read something so funny in a while!
I'm a bit shocked to see so many negative comments by M$$t friends.

It's a pity to drop it.
That's no real good idea, because one server with one IP address can host many, many virtual webservers.
Names can be used to differentiate between (vrtual) webservers, while IP numbers can't.

If it's only one large Perl script to speed up, have a look at mod_fastcgi.
In my application it was *much* faster than mod_perl and the RAM usage is well defined. With mod_perl the server went swapping to death.
The 75GPX may set a new standard in areal density.
The other features (ATA-interface, only 2MB of cache) appear rather low-end to me.
The 72ZX, beeing only slightly lower in capacity, and larger in physical dimension (1.6'' height), seems superior.
I'm a stupid, stupid, stupid user.

But why do I get this message:

I agree, this sounds rather like "hard links".
But this story comes one month too early. It should be definitely scheduled for April 1st!
Well now, after I have seen the movie, I must admit that the New Order song is audible for a couple of seconds only, during Richard and Sal are shopping in the city. Not much a reason to watch the movie ...
Actually there IS one reason to watch this movie: the track New Order has contributed, the first new song after seven years or something.
I'm really getting kind of offtopic here, but the greatest rock band ever deserves some reward.
Congratulations to the team members for accomplishing this difficult mission so perfectly!
We Swiss people of course are proud of Claude Nicollier beeing part of the team.

I can recomend this book "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene. It's very enyojable reading - though not easy.
