"Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow," writes Eric S. Raymond, a programmer and movement observer, in "The Cathedral and the Bazaar." I'm sorry, but I couldn't stop laughing when I saw that ESR is a "movement observer". (Ewwwwwww....) I prefer to have my movements in complete privacy, thank you!
PerlScript *can* be run in the browser too (well, *a* browser, IE on Windows), because it uses the windows scripting host. I see no reason you shouldn't be able to get the same sort of functionality with a mozilla "plugin" without too much fuss, since Perl's been ported to more platforms than mozilla, and can be compiled as a shared library.
99% of the skins out there are a usability nightmare. However, I think it's funny that he targets Mozilla/Netscape 6, which is one of the only programs that has an actual excuse for having skins, other than "to make it look pretty".
The newer HTML/CSS/etc. specs require certain standards in size and placement of controls, and other such things, and the only way to accurately match the specs is to implement the same controls on every platform, instead of relying on all platforms to have the same native controls (which is not gonna happen).
By that point, they were already pretty much there as far as themeing (sp? theming?), so they figured "what the hell?" and made a uniform engine for all of the controls in mozilla.
Using licensed technologies from Compaq and Fraunhofer IIs the PJB 100 provides the ultimate flexibility of digital audio capture, via CD's or Internet, in current MP3 digital audio format. Further, the Personal JukeBox can be upgraded to process multiple, new, and secure digital audio standards.
You know, looking at it, it almost looks like that "licensed technology" came from an itsy...:)
I'm waiting for reviews before I commit myself to buying either of them.
Me, I'm waiting for actual *release* before I commit myself. There have been reviews of both of these, but so far both seem rather dubious, with numerous production delays.
I wonder if the Internet is really a revival of community and human interaction. I spent a fair about on time on the internet and the only time I have any sense of the market place interaction that is talked about in the Clue Train is when I'm mudding.
I guess that depends on how you define "market" and how you define "community". They're not saying that everyone you shop with is going to be as close to you as your friends mudding, it's more like, to fit the analogy of a medieval marketplace, back then you knew Bob the Farmer way better than you know Wal-Mart today. It's all a matter of scale.
You could try limiting the perceived line speed. Just reduce your line speed to a value of say 1 kb or something like that. Social engineering works suprisingly well.
I suppose I could do that. I don't mind sharing my stuff, I just mind doing it for twenty people at once.:)
Even Napster doesn't really do this well. You can make it so it only sends 1 file per person at a time, but end up with 20 people getting one file each. They need a global # uploads.
Oh well, I guess I should shut up and code then, shouldn't I?:)
Yes, but do they have throttling implemented yet? So far I've tried getting on and in the span of a minute had 15 people downloading from me. I would like to keep at least *some* of my bandwidth.
Of course, the first posts of that "hidden" andover thread were early on the 30th, which means, either someone broke the rules and started April Fools 2 days early, or it's all true! Makes you wonder...:)
This should be fine for MS-DOS 98, but IIRC on an NT system some of the low level system stuff has to match between the real machine and the virtual machine (e.g. the HAL).
As far as I understand it, VMWare presents the same machine to the OS running in it, regardless of what your hardware is. They fake a generic NIC card, video adapter, and SCSI adaptor (and probably other things), so you should always end up with the "same" hardware under VMWare.
In a new press release (also on Yahoo!), Be has announced that they will be releasing the source code to the Tracker and the Deskbar - available at http://www.opentracker.org and http://www.opendeskbar.org respectively, and covered by "an extremely open and lenient" modified BSD license. Be is encouraging developers to further develop the two fundemental parts of the BeOS user interface in "new, exciting and unforeseen ways."

I use nope@hotmail.com. If someone actually has that account, I bet they're pretty pissed. :)
No! You should be glad if they make it illegal. It will make your collection worth more. ;)

Again, a nice attempt a trolling. I commend you. But you're wrong. ;)

It's called PerlScript. :)

Wait and see... :P

Yeah, multimedia and digital design? It's not like they used large amounts of hardware or anything... :)
No, no, no! What he means is if you create another harddisk icon on the desktop, it will sprout another *physical* harddrive on the FireWire chain!
Of course, you must supply your own nanites.
Ironic, isn't it?

REUNITE GONDWANALAND! :)
A script kiddie with one of those could DDoS himself! :)

Hell, it's got PCMCIA and USB, slap a couple of network adaptors on that thing and you've got a router! :)
Will they work with the dual-Celeron BP6 board, is the question? I could definitely handle a dual-celeron2 system... :)
Of course, if you have 100MB ethernet, NFS root is bearable, if not fast. Then you could have a full system. :)
Yes, BeOS comes with the full complement of gnu tools, including gcc.

Cool!
It depends upon your intentions. We watched, but we MST3K'd it. :)
