Most of us.. including myself, change ISPs often.
When I registered through the Linux Counter I was
with ici.net, Now... a few years later I have
Cable Modem access and I am with mediaone.net
I am sure we will see that the number of users will be higher.
I'm working on a cool multimedia tool. Apple
is lame attempting to lock people out of assimulating a decent theme. Well too bad Xerox
can sue thier ass for copying a window environment similar to thier own. This is why once my Multifli code gets out, I'll have a GPL, but I will lock it out of any use on OS/X.
Also Why don't we design a theme that rivals Aqua,
copyleft it, and make it illieagal for them to
assimulate it.
Apples days are numbered anyway. I have a multiplatform environment at home. I've got
a Apple 9600 running LinuxPPC (Firewall/Webserver/
Cable Modem/ NAT/IMAP email server), Apple G3 (Linux SMB server for house, icecast server), Dec Alpha (still trying to port more linux apps to this box), 486DX2 50 (My Linux based Mpeg
gateway for my Auto MPEG Player NE35, this allows me to have ethernet access to my MPEG player), MZ104 embedded controller based root w/wireless ethernet (My own design) And.. my Compaq 7100US
w 1.3GHZ Athlon and 256MB DDR RAM Linux box, everything is supported by the 2.4x kernel, including the DVD ROM and 1394 firewire. This box
is much faster then the Apple G4 that I had on lone. My kernel compile times are less than half the time taken with the G4. Yes the CPU speed is faster on the AMD, And the 7200RPM hard drives
aren't bad either. And.. the GFORCE Nvidia card.
So, go ahead apple. be a scrooge and put all your
eforts into preventing others from using a simular
desktop. What goes around comes around. You take
from the Open Source movement and you don't reciprocate. This is only going to have a negative
effect on you in the future.
A cool atlernative is the Neo Player.
http://www.ssiamerica.com/products/neo35/
I bought it over a year ago for my '97 Chevy Silverado. It put a 13GB hard drive in it.
The only other upgrade I'd like to see on it is
wireless ethernet so I can park my truck by the
house and upload new tunes. Ahh for now I just
brink it in the House, plug it into my home chassis w/USB, fire up Linux and dump the songs
to disk.
What the heck. I paid $189.00 at computer geeks
for it. Direct from the manufacturer it's more.
It's still much less than $999.00, you don't have
a cool flourescent display, but you have a decent
black on green LCD display.
I am in a similar situation! I was the lead engineer/treasurer for a startup ISP that later got bought out by Log On America. I did everything, design infrastructure, design the
automated subscription system, write system monitoring tools, it was fun. I later had to
move to a coinsulting firm since I waited for just about a year for the ISP to become profitable and draw a real paycheck. instead a buyout happened and the money sucked so I moved to the consulting form. I've designed wide area networks for school system for a small consulting company in RI. When I started to fly all over the place as a consultant I decided that the job wasn't for me since I'm married and have three great sons
and an awesome wife. So.. I left there to do system administration work (DCE/DFS on Sun Solaris) for a major Ivy League University. I got bored there after a year and made a move to a small consulting company that primarily does governement work in New England. Well, at least at the college they made use of Open Source. The
RI State governement is afraid of it, even though I and a few other State workers make extensive use of Perl. I've been trying to turn them on to SAMBA since thier Novell Directory services IIS Servers, and even State Wide Network got hosed by NIMDA. I've explained to them in detail why they
are wide open to attack. I even tried to talk to
them about replacing thier IIS servers with Apache, explain to them why they should run the httpd daemon as nobody. I'm even trying to turn them on to LDAP, Kerberos. For the most part
I'm running trends analysis on large AIX boxes and
N & L class HPUX servers. Sometimes I get to configure an HPUX based Oracle server. And yes I miss the days when I build popping pill bottle
and placed them on a managers desk (a little freon inside a pill bottle closed tightly will pop it's
cap of in about 20 minutes.) And no more nerf fights.
If I didn't have a mortgage and college tuition
comming up soon for my oldest son then I'd startup
a consulting business again. For now I'm in
a holding pattern. Governement work is too slow paced for me, but it pays the bills.
Burgular alarms are no longer on twisted pairs!

Make Your Own DSL
·
· Score: 1
This guy is misinformed. In Massachusetts Verizon wanted to contro DSL. So what di they do? They decided to take dry copper pairs, mux them up
on fiber, and demux them on the other end. The end result is the a DSL modem can't get the bandwidth it requires to do the phase shift encoding and all that aother stuff. Verison says it's to get more
distance out of the alarm cables, they just want
to let anyone start thier own DSl business.
DSL has to run on twisted copper pairs. point to point. There are also distance restrictions.
I wanted to setup a school system on DSL. I ordered Dry wisted pair. When I did a test on the
twisted pair it failed. Later to find out the
"Dry" copper pair were being provided over fiber.
Now wireless on the other hand. I just bought
a linksys WAP so my kids computer on the second floor can access the home network and get out to the internet. My wife didn't want me to run Cat 5 up through the chimney in the basement to the
closet on the second floor and up to my kids room.
So I configured Wirless. 11MBS through the house and even o the extents of my yard (26k sq ft).
Later on I'm going around my street to see where I loose signal. if everyone was into building a free wireless network You'd probably need to use
just the wireless cards and have linux boxes act
as mobile routers. Having many WAPS won't cut it.
I'm a consulting engineer for a state on the east coast. My employer sells my total time to the state. The Official contract is for 40 hrs, but the state wanted me on call, my solution... I work
35hrs/week. And yes if I get called in, I get
compensated with comp time or $$. I prefer comp
time since the weather is great!
PS. My Salary/Benefits are beter than a state
employees! Go figure!
When will Microsoft ever learn. This will help
get more Linux desktop users (a good thing). Also
a hack would be developed to solve this problem.
If the hack breaks XP then most users will stay with 98/NT/2000.
I prefer Linux. The mpeg standard will be here
for a long time. And I am not going to dump my
Neo 35 MPEG player (13 GB HD, I built a Linux based docking station for it). I've got my entire
CD collection in this pupppy sampled at 320k/sec.
The player slides out of my truck and into my home
stereo unit when I am not on the road. No Microsloth I am not going to give up high fidelity MPEGS because you say so!
There's no case here. I'm against gentically
altered food. Monsento.. or whover they are
have been negligent with their conola seeds.
Sue the manufacurer of the seeds.
I prefer farming the old way, and you don't need
a license to grow, during harvest you reserve some
of the food for seed the following year.
I grow huge non gentically engineered tomatoes.
I take the largest beefstake tomatoe that I grow,
save some seeds, plant those the following year..
and continue. If some seeds blow into my nighbors
yard I won't sue... gee. If a farm was near my home that used genitcally altered seed and it blew into my yard, I'd sue them. I don't need a moth-eel-tomatoe growing in my yard. If I want to repel bugs I plant marigolds.. that keeps most of
the pests out.
The company you work for knows how long it takes
to write a program. Now is the time to tell them that you have been creating this product on your own time to be marketed under your company name.
bring in the binarys and demo the product. Ask them if they are interested in reselling it. Finish up on your resume, if they say you need to write the same product for them, then give them
your notice, look for another job, finish your
product, and sell it! You may be burning up
a letter of recomendation, but if you believe in
what you created it will be worth it!
Microsoft has it's judgement day comming. 12 years ago I wrote a DLL that allowed you to play
sound under windows without hearing a popping noise (windows has terrible interrupt latency,especailly 12 years ago) back in the Old
days of the Microsoft online BBS. Well, those
royalties I was promised never materialized.
So, I didn't think suing would be the answer, I did know that they would eventually get thiers with a buinsess practive like that. So I started writing code for OS/2 Warp and I banged out a few
Automated Phone Information systems using the Dialogic board, one for the town I lived in at the time.. Ahh.. So from '88 to '94 I was doing that..
and then I found LINUX in '94.. I installed the
Yddrassil release with kernel 0.96. I started coding for it and the world hasn't been the same.
I look at Linux as being the David that nails
Goliath. No matter if Microsoft wins or looses this case, the days of a dominating software giant are over! I consult for a state agency. Even they
are moving to Unix/Linux. granted most of the
busy services such as the Registry of Motor Vehicle runs on a Fault Tolerant IBM RS/6000 Black
Raven (huge box, SSA drives..) and DEM runs on
HP N calass for the Database, L Class for the Oracle App Server, Sun box for the Cirix metaframe server. I am also turning them on to Linux.
Linux hopefully will be replacing the NT File/Print servers.. That's all they use NT for.
File/Print.
Ahh.. now I want to see Firewire RAID arrays that
will replace the expensive SSA drive. Linux Firewire SSA... that would rock! Now time to buy 3 drives and a pce firewire board... gotta add this!
Got you beat with my Linux Firewall!
[root@lisa logs]# uptime
11:34am up 73 days, 2:22, 5 users, load average: 0.25, 0.25, 0.16
And now the firewall is running an Icecast
streaming mpeg server.
Lisa, a Linux box running on PowerPC hardware is
offering NAT, web server, IMAP and POP mailboxes,
Icesast streaming mpeg server.. it does not just sit idle.. right now I am streaming audio out to the net.
The box would have a longer uptime, but I rearranged the servers in my basement (move tables and stuff).
Ahh this brings back High School days ('80).
we were studying the Ross Expeditions. And around
the area where the Lake was found they discovered
some strange finds.. the mainstream media had
them down as exhausted and that they must have
hallucinated. Just dig around your local Library
and check out the net. Running streams, green vegatation (Volcanic activity?).
Listen,
Microsoft screwed me out of a royalty when I was
26 (twelve years ago). I wrote a DLL that fixed
the problems that Windows with Multimedia Extensions was plagued with. It took forever to load a driver, a massive delay in starting to play
the file, and popping noises during file play (due
to the interrupt latency time to the application)
I wrote a sound playback routine that created
head and tail pointers that generated interrupts when the ping pong buffers were 30% empty and the routine topped them off. The popping noise was
due to all 0000's of FFFF's in the damn buffer or
some other problem. Well back when Microsoft had
Microsoft Online I submitted my fix under an NDA.
I was going to get $.03 cents per copy. They screwed me. It never happened. From that point I
wrote code for OS/2, and When Linux emerged I started to write code for that. I didn't believe
in suing Microsoft because they'd sue me with thier crooked lawyers. So... I believe what goes around comes around. Now the code I've used and contributed to is starting to put a dent into their market! Good! What goes around comes around,
and their is NO WAY they can stop the Open Software Movement. Microsoft has no clue. openSource puts the power back to the great minds who write code and design new solutions. Those of us who can read and understand learn from each others code. Now the Open Source Code is more refined than much of the commercial slop released by microsoft.
So.. In your face microsoft! Good enough!!
And the Linux Killer Apps are on the way! I hope to release Multifli for Linux soon! Multimedia
Editing to Video CD!!! And I use SMTPE time code
to synchronize the video and audio!
IN YOUR FACE MICROSOFT!
Long Live Tux!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, it is. I know how my wife would feel.
Anyway.. I prefer the real thing up close and personal. I use computers for computer stuff. i.e., building robots,gadjets,network security audits,Linux,and downloading mpegs to my
homebuilt mpeg player in my truck with a 10GB HD!
Gee..
What a simple fix. Install the older libc files
for backward compatability. That's what I did.
It works fine. Just run ldd on the application
that you don't have the source for, check to see
what libc, and install JUST THE LIBRARIES.. Link
all your new apps to the new libc.
It works. And it's not the DLL Hell syndrome.
Gee.. in New England 45k would barely buy you
a pot to piss in.
Then again, I'm not 18 anymore and have
experience now.
The only money I had to pay upfront was my college
tuiition (OUCH!)
We are not ready for gentically altered life.
Right now we have no clue why a genetially altered beast has such a short lifespan. possibly because it's not meant to be. Also look at how many failures are required to get a genetically
altered monkey... we are going to create some
monsters, that's for sure.
Now as far as the scientists who think they will have a gentically altered human at thier disposal.. wrong, if such a beast should live, it's still based on human DNA and NO ONE should own it. A clone isn't a clone in every sense of the word, it may look, smell, act like the original, but it does not have the life experience as the original.
I would not want a lab to keep a clone of myself on ice just in case I get pancriatic cancer and I need a new pancreas. The clone in my eyes isn't
MrJerryNormandinSir II, it someone who's genes were altered to look like MrJerryNormandinSir.
These mad scientists have forgotten a very important fact that we human beings have a soul,
and you can't clone a soul.
This will violate the GPL. If you are wrinting a closed source project you should either right the
code yourself without plagurizing the Open Source code.. or pay your way and license what you need.
This is why the GPL is written, to protect the
authors of the GPL'ed code from acts like this.
It this was my code and it was published under the
GPL I would sue the everyone and everycompany involved with taking my code to a closed source project.
I've got a Dual G4, and I prefer running Linux on it. I't's got OS/X, Apple decided to hanve a nonstandard filesystem layout for one. For two,
it's not as robust, I know how to crash OS/x
Hey, This guy needs to get his classmates to back him up. The teacher called in the cops.. hell he challenged him. He should sue for defamation of character, and some other typical crap. Possibly
his college would be covered.
This kid did nothing wrong. And he was promised
a cash prize, which he should get, I bet he's got a legal case.
This is too bad. This is also the reason why getting an IPO isn't the best idea. At anytime the shareholders can hold a meeting and liquidate
your assets. Nvidia's code has been buggy. I know forst hand, my son's TNT2 Riva never worked right.
Glide problems, OpenGL problems, the promise of new drivers to fix the problems, and eventually
the card is no longer supported and the new drivers never materialize. Nvidia sucks... 3DFX
was great, and the code was pretty solid.
They will be missed.
Having a theme modeled after a another platform's
environment is only a compliment. What are they going to do next? Say we can use tranparencies in our Window managers? Enlightenment did transparencies before OS/X, they have no right!
Also wasn't there a Windowmaker theme that came out a year ago that looked a lot like Aqua?
I say, keep the themes up at themes.org, let them try to sue. If they do we should talk to Xerox, after all they were the originators of the GUI.
Take CD
Instert into Microwave, turn the lights out!
Set microwave on High for 15 seconds
It looks like an object that just traveled through
time... Blue sparks starting from the center working outward.
Warning.. this pisses my wife off every time I do this. Milage with your microwave may vary...
keep a charged fire extinguisher beside you at all
times, just in case this gets out of hand.
Don't go over 15 seconds... or you could reflect
enough energy to start a fire or destroy your
microwave.
Have Fun!

These mad scientists have forgotten a very important fact that we human beings have a soul, and you can't clone a soul.
This will violate the GPL. If you are wrinting a closed source project you should either right the code yourself without plagurizing the Open Source code.. or pay your way and license what you need. This is why the GPL is written, to protect the authors of the GPL'ed code from acts like this. It this was my code and it was published under the GPL I would sue the everyone and everycompany involved with taking my code to a closed source project.
I've got a Dual G4, and I prefer running Linux on it. I't's got OS/X, Apple decided to hanve a nonstandard filesystem layout for one. For two, it's not as robust, I know how to crash OS/x
Hey, This guy needs to get his classmates to back him up. The teacher called in the cops.. hell he challenged him. He should sue for defamation of character, and some other typical crap. Possibly his college would be covered. This kid did nothing wrong. And he was promised a cash prize, which he should get, I bet he's got a legal case.
This is too bad. This is also the reason why getting an IPO isn't the best idea. At anytime the shareholders can hold a meeting and liquidate your assets. Nvidia's code has been buggy. I know forst hand, my son's TNT2 Riva never worked right. Glide problems, OpenGL problems, the promise of new drivers to fix the problems, and eventually the card is no longer supported and the new drivers never materialize. Nvidia sucks... 3DFX was great, and the code was pretty solid. They will be missed.
Need a site to host the Aqua themes? I am not afraid of Apple.. I'll setup a webpage and offer the themes via http and ftp. jerryn@nfn.homeip.net
Having a theme modeled after a another platform's environment is only a compliment. What are they going to do next? Say we can use tranparencies in our Window managers? Enlightenment did transparencies before OS/X, they have no right! Also wasn't there a Windowmaker theme that came out a year ago that looked a lot like Aqua? I say, keep the themes up at themes.org, let them try to sue. If they do we should talk to Xerox, after all they were the originators of the GUI.
Take CD Instert into Microwave, turn the lights out! Set microwave on High for 15 seconds It looks like an object that just traveled through time... Blue sparks starting from the center working outward. Warning.. this pisses my wife off every time I do this. Milage with your microwave may vary... keep a charged fire extinguisher beside you at all times, just in case this gets out of hand. Don't go over 15 seconds... or you could reflect enough energy to start a fire or destroy your microwave. Have Fun!
