power mongers like sony do like to do this sort of stuff without consideration of public opinion. Like firing their high paid workers in cinemas... bashing unions, and of course piss off everybody, to show how strong they are to their shareholders.
This will not stop until sony products are not a considered choice such as buy PS2, Home Electronics etc...
I would not let get businesses to control what goes into my kernel. So they control a group of hackers by paying their rent fancy cars etc. to make linux better. Now there are two or three organizations. One pays more money, to the group and demands that these features are not to go into the kernel because it will slow their graphics card drivers, and the other sponsors say that they will not transfer large amounts of money if they will not put in the patch.
Most reasoning people laugh at the article here. I also like to extend, that if there was to be a group of funded people to maintain kernel, there will be subject to financial, as well as political pressures, to make a decisions. Each one having different ideas will pusue their own agendas, and thats where total anarchy in kernel code will be.
It is slippery slope, and it is possible to reap benefits of such transition, but only in case if there would be a set of people that will make some strong rules about donations, people talking one to the other, who has to do what and all that stuff. Making rules now, for such group will be hard, because every company thats linux, will want to get their hands in there...
Point being here, it will be hard for multiple people to control kernel, because for organization, each person has to communicate to all why feature is good or bad, as well as find out for themselves why it is so. The more people you got the slower the process is.
I have applied there, operated by bunch of snot nosed kids and immigrants. Do not take me wrong, I am immigrant myself. Owner, however who is same as of netnation.ca takes it as a last measure to hire people with core canadians, americans and who have solid degrees - cheap labour. Everyone who comes to Vancouver by immigration process they get their picks at them first.
Thank god I am not there!
Fixing our earth does not make profit which in turn reflects badly on our stock price meanwile making our shareholders completely disappointed.
Now, if you'd make earth a company, each one of us shareholders and value is based on healthiness of it, we're to be bunch on unimpressed shareholders.
Being examples above, thinking patterns of humans should change from associating thoghts of one kind with the other, for better of our earth, and perhaps start adressing issues in more positive productive way, meanwhile being opposite to much sensational stuff being posted here.
To be concrete, turn off your computer and do something that is for the future of earth, that does not immediate payoff right now. We should learn how to do stuff for the future, otherwise we will have none left.
Cloning humans is not a great idea. Period. There are expectations that they that are cloned to be same as ones providing genetic material, while it is completely untrue, therefor we should get more intelligent(not like it is possible for the most of the population of NAmerica) and think of in this way. Did multics survive, because someone made a billion copies of it, and placed it on 98% of the computers in the world? No. It did however contribute to development of UNIX - simplified child. We see as with Windows and other microsoft products, getting everyone to have one piece of software in the world to dominate computers is not a good idea, simply because of such large exposure, and ideas not being propogated. Same with people two people marry, get children, they impose ideas on to childs brain. How it turns out is not predictable, but we do it for the best, because child will grow up and take whats best of the stuff you imposed and throw out the rest. And so on.
Yes genetics will benefit people, but we have to make some sacrifices - something people are not familiar with in western cultures. Benefits will not be exactly obvious to 99% of population, because that will involve particular sickness being iliminated in 0.0001% of the people. Being that a large number, many might not even hear about that, just like planning for the future, researching deseases. Cloning is however is not exacly great in scientific way, because it is like applying large turbine engines to regular cars. Sure it can be done, but would have benefit for all of us and world in general, except those owning shares in oil companies? Use of genetics in such way, also binds peoples associations that are made in area of familiy, sex, relationships and people relationships and making genetic science a taboo, witchcraft. Don't forget witchhunts are alive and well, they just changed their name, like 'crazed hacker kids kill their peers in execution style' ala John Katz.
I would rather like to see development in genetics that would appeal to rational parts of us, that are still so minute. Presense of large media streams that base their communication strictly on reactive philosphies shows how much of a reasoning society we live in, so cloning should not be done until people get ahold of themselves and able to reason more.
Wasn't when they cloned dolly, they ran into genome aging bug? It has something do to with,
when a cell replicates, DNA is shortened, in
non crucial part, and once it is short too much cell does not replicate, sort of recursion control. One thing copying DNA another is actually modifying it.
just my 3c (inflation man!)
Yay, next great thing is happening... wait it is not, rasterman somehow forgot about whole network transparency with X... Your applications ran on the other host will not bring up the EVAS on yourscreen. Rasterman beangered GNOME development team with his hacky programming that only he can understand, and now he is at it again. Why wouldn't he just work with framebuffer? The direction X programming on Linux going, is to ditch XLib altogether, because it is slowing whole eyecandy enabling process for rasterman-likes, so they just communicate directly with GLlib, which in turn calls extended XServer directly without marshalizing calls into datastream... how sad.
So you are talking about watching TV, playing pool, watchning more TV. How about changing the
world? Have you thought there are better things you can do to better yourself and improve the world around you. Think of the social problems in your country, not the pathetically retarted mental mastrubation marketoids inspire to produce, feed it down your throat! HDTV solves not problems, improves nobodys fucking life, just causes more problems, just like DVD. They have to extra nice to me, to get me to buy this stuff, because for 5000$ I can help alot of people rather than trying to impress my rotten spoiled friends by this popculture-buy-the-newest-thing trend. Being nice to me is will be increasingly difficult as I see all these legislations and whatnot coming thru telling me to work, for money to buy shit I don't need. Seriously how often have you considered that you really need that 3000$ system with whoopass subwoofer, and shiny large new TV? Or you want it because your friends say whoo! Or is it because you feel nice and fuzzy that sound wrapping all around you and there is no strangers around you.
You need to get out man and HDTV is not gonna help you to get your or anybody's life better.
Do people do credit card fraud? Hell yeah. Well,
CC companies do damage control, they do their best
in preventing this from happening, but it is
impossible to prevent cheating. Once cheater
is discovered, his credit card is invalid across
the net, for the rest of the times. It is fairly
inconvinient to get cards for each game...
It's all about controlling, not eliminating
the possibility...
done that with Q3 already, funny to tweak bots
to run around and kill one another, you learn
what works and what doesn't, but seriously,
anything goes.
If the company was like 5 people making card
game over the net, but this is 40 programmers
sweating away at the code to make sure that
you don't loose a fraction of the penny and
when you win, is when you used your skills
to steal coins frags, etc. Moderator should
look on the site and read thru it before +3 ing
the post.
True, our AMD office machines aren't that stable
either. I mean they work and stuff, but when it
comes down to placing a large load, then they
collapse, but randomly.
Intel machines though slower at some places, have
smoother ride. Like when you run programs,
after large loads, AMD CPU is sort of confused and
runs real slow, and then 5 sec later it all gets
into chunky pipe line.
Most code out there is designed for x86 by people
who have celerons of PIIIs Athlons are only recent
addition to x86 familiy. We had servers do kernel
oops on Athlon machines every 2 months or so.
And that is production quality kernel!
I'd say to AMD better to get your act together
or you will not see the high end market at all.
Problems like that are random... weird.
All hardware is respectable:
GeForce or TNT2 Ultra
A7V + AMD
IBM 75GXP type HDs
D-Link cards - very nice tulip like interfaces.
Go figure.
How would you take responsibility for identity
theft? That was not described here, but most
hard to counteract, because somebody poses
as you and racks up cash thru credit companies,
and such other places.
Basically now it is transition phase when
computers will be even more omnipresent online,
checking our credit ratings would daily thing to
do. Authentication schemes will enter our lives,
using which it would be close to impossible to
impersonate someone during a transaction.
DNA and/or fingerprinting would actually do good
for the system, as they can be ultimate checkers
for wether you are who you are.
That being said, credit available so freely, is like gasoline flowing thru the streets,
dangerous to who is not extremely cautios or
unlucky, to be a victim of credit recklessness of
identity theft. People who have the power that do
not use credit at all, those people are primary
targets of everybody, theives, marketing agencies,
retailers. It is hard nowadays, growing up with
all sorts of credit stuff around you, your mother
uses credit card to pay for groceries, to rackup
points of new minivan, house being morgadged...etc
You get used to the idea and often not really
aware of dangers.
Credit would've been great addition of to our
lives if there wasn't so much based on it, as
it is now. You can buy stuff only with credit card
over the net, and all credit cards being stolen
from all sorts of companies, you go wonder.
I am sega boy, and I boycott Sony. If ANY console
next I would buy it would be XBox, because it
will probably be hacked to run linux and my
favorite linux games like heretic II and heavy
gear II. I already own dreamcast and dozen games.
Form a design standpoint, it is stupid to require
game programmers to manipulate the ethernet card.
Car should be configured on bootup and user must
enter whatever parameters that will be needed
in then, which will be saved onto VMU for
later retrival. If I am the boss I'd let game
programmers only connect over already setup
and report errors if it does not, but I would
certainly not allow programmers confiure my
ethernet cards.
Imagine this Quake to run on linux must be Setuid
so it can manipulate your NIC configurations
realtime, or provide interface for you to
configure them. NOW thats plain stupid if you ask
me. By actions of SEGA, thats what they did.
Don't get me wrong,I am for more open platforms like dreamcast... but if linux was doing stupid
things and lead by a bunch of pumkin heads,
I wouldn't used it would you?
Hence the word audiophile, spend ~3K+ on stereo
sound. Many amps have digital bypass for simple
stereo amplification, true audiophiles avoid
digital circuitry like fire, let alone god forbid
any compression. I however draw the line,
where people say that vinyl sounds better than
mp3/128.
Funny they add PRO to the mp3, because it is like
sticking a label in gold and red saying something
to effect 1000+1000Watts! P.M.P.O. just makes me
take compression format with less seriousness,
just as I would take a whimsical burp of a
marketing team.
Lets breath in and take a moment!.....
Now, we do not know really how good the format is
and maybe it is simply an attack at present mp3
format. So what? Most compressed media devices
support MP3. MP3Pro is perhaps a preceived way
by Fra.... whatever to stuff gene back into the
bottle. It can't be done. Even if it is 50% better
than mp3, even then 128 isn't that great, 160 is
somewhere around listenable quality, unless it
happens to be a rip of britney spears CD from
Napster by people to who sound is two computer
speakers.
They are falling forward to make a strike, albeit
a very clumsy one. If they'd done their homework,
they should've done some tests, perhaps rigged
ones, not just say, hey all stuff out there
sucks so dump it and go for our new thing, that
you will HAVE to pay money for.
Just another of lowball stories on hype the world
coming to an end, corporation will own you type

Are the plans for extending network SEGAnet have
been canceled? It is quick and smart move,
One question, would they develop a software
upgrade for the console so I can connect
to their SEGAnet via an ethernet.
Also as an oversight, I do not think they have
any extra software upgrades to support ADSL
services that require to you to use PPP.
One thing is clear that console will work only
with cable providers that have almost static IPs,
like Shaw/Rogers in Canada.
What would be smart is to develop as software
upgrade for the ethernet after PPP,DHCP and other
are supported, a SEGAnet API extension that
will detect Ethernet card and start connecting to
SEGAnet over that... who knows.

Amps from harman and NAD are
spectacular in claritiy and precision.
So stick with these. The wattage on
HK and NAD is usually does not compare with RMS
rating most producers use, because of
30 - 10 times more amperage, so you get no
distortion.
With polks - they are cheap and superrior to
anything I have heard so far. Overdriven they do
not loose clarity until driver starts to hit the
physical tavel limit. Distortion, like midrange
going away, with high base is non existent.
Qualtiy of harman amps is not Sony, but quality
is where they are best. Sort of same thing
with Sonys Trinitron CRTs...
Good luck, stick to harman amps, definetly see
to try RT series speakers from polk.
So how then the government tracks pedophiles?
Obviously they must track websites, emails
and such. It all has to be categorized, filed
and presented in court.

Have you turned on TV lately? What about
information poisoning there? Plenty people lie
and distort information anywhere. Talk to your
friends when they tell you a story or truly
known fact, they are would sure to put their own
spin onto it. Govenment blatantly stating truth
to guide ourselves into obedience is stupid.
So what's next, government controlled rumors.com?
See what the percent of people with secondary

among few others might just start making sense,
sense for them! =)

Man, you gotta be kidding. I'd rather buy a
console that uses a very rational and tested model
of design rather do a pile of stuff that makes
porting games a nightmare like Sony does. Sure
both are evil, but I think Sony is more evil,
because there is no face to the enemy and
monitor making and cinema running is not as
politically charged as software/networked world,
so Sony gets away with lots more than MS does.
Everyone inspects every Microsoft move, not
sonys. Trouble is Sony makes half decent hardware
and as such is not hated by their customers.
Union bashing, work for hire for musicians
promoting, is no more than evil.
So it will be a fight between the giants.
Because Sony plaform is convoluted, porting
everything what is out there will be pain in the
a** for everybody, unless they are willing to
hit the books and relearn whatever they gain
in past years... Move by MS is smart one.
Too bad indrema is not as up and coming as
XBox. Damn preemtive atacks.
Well, I am rambling here, but fact is Sony is
dumb, because it is the main competitor of
XBox. Having convoluted superclosed architecture
they risk their future in fighting MS.

HK and NAD is usually does not compare with RMS
rating most producers use, because of
30 - 10 times more amperage, so you get no
distortion.
With polks - they are cheap and superrior to
anything I have heard so far. Overdriven they do
not loose clarity until driver starts to hit the
physical tavel limit. Distortion, like midrange
going away, with high base is non existent.
Qualtiy of harman amps is not Sony, but quality
is where they are best. Sort of same thing
with Sonys Trinitron CRTs...
Good luck, stick to harman amps, definetly see
to try RT series speakers from polk.
So how then the government tracks pedophiles?
Obviously they must track websites, emails
and such. It all has to be categorized, filed
and presented in court.
;-)
Have you turned on TV lately? What about ;-)
information poisoning there? Plenty people lie
and distort information anywhere. Talk to your
friends when they tell you a story or truly
known fact, they are would sure to put their own
spin onto it. Govenment blatantly stating truth
to guide ourselves into obedience is stupid.
So what's next, government controlled rumors.com?
See what the percent of people with secondary
degree in US and this action by a government,
among few others might just start making sense,
sense for them! =)
Re: Internet turns lives and hearts of children
dark - reworded Bush quote... is Bush a president?
I think I missed it.
Beowulf I SAY!
I'd be damned if will not be hacked, and
such as xboxhacked.com would provide all the
directions to install Linux on it, and make it
webserver and run my Kicq =)
Man, you gotta be kidding. I'd rather buy a
console that uses a very rational and tested model
of design rather do a pile of stuff that makes
porting games a nightmare like Sony does. Sure
both are evil, but I think Sony is more evil,
because there is no face to the enemy and
monitor making and cinema running is not as
politically charged as software/networked world,
so Sony gets away with lots more than MS does.
Everyone inspects every Microsoft move, not
sonys. Trouble is Sony makes half decent hardware
and as such is not hated by their customers.
Union bashing, work for hire for musicians
promoting, is no more than evil.
So it will be a fight between the giants.
Because Sony plaform is convoluted, porting
everything what is out there will be pain in the
a** for everybody, unless they are willing to
hit the books and relearn whatever they gain
in past years... Move by MS is smart one.
Too bad indrema is not as up and coming as
XBox. Damn preemtive atacks.
Well, I am rambling here, but fact is Sony is
dumb, because it is the main competitor of
XBox. Having convoluted superclosed architecture
they risk their future in fighting MS.
Its odd to think that IBM is going to be part
of the scheme. There is a thousand reasons anybody
here can generate here for why it is stupid.
Doing stupid things in business does not pay off,
unless you can collect money like govenment sort
of tax. Like us retarted Canadians submitted
ourseleves into paying RIAA tax on every CD of
WAREZ we burn. Its stupid. Stupid. Computer savvy
do not tolerate stupid. Most other people do, thats where the harm is going to come from.
Besides encryption technologies impair last few years of creativity and invention in Harddrive
manufaturing, thus forcing Harddrive building companys swallow the cost of compensating
everyone for the perfomance loss. Also they would
be liable for the loss of data, if they produce a
harddrive that I cannot backup. Making such complex drive will cripple these companies allow
for even least creative competition taking 1 year
old technology and build drives with rival performace.
Then there is other one, what if my computer is
not networked, network is down. I really hate to depend on increasingly unreliable net providers
for my data integrity. It is great idea to chain
everybody together and beat them with a stick for
all the money they have, alas there is no infrastructure.
How about this one. Lets make pay per byte
networked cards! Yay, at least DDoS will be
profitable then! Keep this technorenisance going,
and don't let dark ages to encroach upon us from
the corporate kavalry.
Let there be L16H7 !
