BTW I am quite sad as I learnt Unix on these systems, back 15 years ago... What makes it even harder to bear is the Compaq logo beside the title of this story.
I'd accept to subscribe to some sites (which is actually what this idea consists of) if in return they'd guarantee me the quality and relevance of the info I could fetch from them.
But such info should be concurrential, IE not taken from existing books... if it is Free, then I should not been billed, etc. etc.
Well, actually what I mean is what I originally meant 10 years ago: the Internet is the Great Library, it belongs to the mankind patrimony and as such one can't force people to pay to benefit from it.
The only decent retribution to such a service which spreads culture among the world would just be to require people to spontaneously accept to contribute to make it a place where we can getr even more knowledge.
So, well.... no, thanks. You may open paying sites (wasn't Slashdot supposed to become a fee-based service, anyway ?) but you won't see me there, then... And if you look for me, I am webmastering the GNUArtwebsites...
My big concern about globalism is that it doesn't define the end-user as a global citizen but as a global consumer.
Also, why doesn't it show a myriad of global companies instead of today's fewer and fewer multinational companies?
The recent dotcom era went in this direction but soon became suffocated by these few majors.
When the concept of globalism will make abstraction of this centralism we might switch to an era of global equity but this will only occur if the press frees itself from the economical interests that endanger its objectivity and favors the actual monolithic global model.
RiscStation is about to issue an ARM-Powered laptop...
And RiscOS machines support ARMLinux or RiscBSD (even though I 'd advice you to just keep using RiscOS which is far more intuitive and performant on such platforms)...
Anyway, the product is not ready yet but you may hear about it *very* soon.
The fact that RiscOS is stored in ROM doesn't it all: On a classical system, you'll have the GUI stuff in RAM which is way faster (compare xns DDR with my RiscPC 60ns EDO...)...
The RiscPC still wins despite this huge theoretical difference.
I can't agree with you as, as a RiscOS user, I may claim that my desktop is even fluider.
Even BeOS for which I developped wasn't as responsive.
(And BTW, RiscOS boots in 4 seconds)
A friend of mine recently bought a Lisa/iPaq which appears to have the following issues:
It is not that quick
It has around 2 hours of autonomy which (IMHO) is unacceptable regarding the mobile position it is supposed to fulfill.
I read the article but couldn't actually get an idea of the Zaurus' autonomy.
Could somebody answer me.
"Anyone going to buy a .biz"

.biz Open For Biz
·
· Score: 2, Informative
They (ICANN ?) actually refused the opening of the.sex level which would have been a good way to just differentiate between pr0n and other websites...
Now, I guess that sex.biz will be amongst the very first.biz domain names taken...
You might need to take a look to RiscOS which makes it quite easy for the hosted apps to be *tiny* (a complete DTP package supporting plugins weights several hundreds kB)...
RiscOS is around as old as Windows3 but has always been well designed, quick, compact and responsive.
But I understand such tinyness might seem mythical for PC users.
According to the usual poll-duration time on slashdot, the lawsuit should be concluded by the time they have changed the poll, so your prediction would be a little too late, then.;-)
I write all of my MP3 on CDRs so that I can listen too it on my Expanium while biking, guess it'll take them a long time to just realise my laptop is not the right place to search
broomstick, is temporarily under Linux (I am developping somethin else)...Hope they can just "see" it if they want to hack it
the MP3 I collect are the digital versions of songs I buy as second-hand LP's so they might find it even harder to prove that I infringed their shit
Last but not least: when I don't listen too these good'ole times songs, I listen to GNUArtGPL'ed music which makes it definitely a bad day for their "hackers".
What about an IMDB evolution?
Here are several possibilities:
Multilingual info DB (some submissions could consist of translating some other): make it international. (in this case, differentiate the top movies list in order also to show it according to the voters origins. For instance, Amelie Poulain may be have gotten higher in a French Top-List)
Extending IMDB to derivative works: related DVD presentations, books or videogames made after a movie (or maybe inspiring a movie, like "Mortal Kombat", "Street Fighter" or, more recently, "Tomb Raider" or "Final Fantasy")
Adding forum to each of the film entry... Making it a little more dynamic.
If these people were really behind Sept.11 tragedy then we shall expect an even more atroce one in the forthcoming days because for them it is rather a Holy War than just a punition.
thanks, I was actually hoping to understand the system since your first remark.;-)
I once heard about a guy who wanted to check not the passwd but the rythm along which the user would type...
sounded interesting...
Slashdot Mirror

So this doesn't come from HP ?

In this case, this is for "educational purposes" only ;-)
If you want people to grow and to get some confidence in their future, you then oughta stop hiding them stuff because you find it offensive.
Info that make you react could be good even if there are limits to <QUIZZ>toleranse</QUIZZ>...
Now, what about actually discussing such issues in order to have censorship sound like advisory instead of authority?
By The Way, would you believe such censoring *tool* when Cybernanny has censored the Bible's text as "violent", "erotic" and "shoking" ?

BTW, it may also re-open the debate:
Why would you need FTP, when you have APT ? ;-)
I once discussed with some colleagues about the possibility to store data indefinitely by sending them around on the Internet...
:
Freenet would be a good idea : store it "everywhere" but "nowhere"...
Or you may put crypt/uuencode it and have Google cache it for you...
Or post bits in (lots of) public fora...
Or all at once:
because your 8TB data per days just seem to be a lot it is obvious you'd even need 10,000 square inch of these to store one year of your data...
But now, tell us, what is it for ?
Is it to monitor some people ?
Is it legal ?
(Actually do I mind ?)
OK, let's take your problem the opposite way
How much storage can you afford ?
Just decide which of the nb of cameras, pictures resolution, fps, etc. you'd sacrify to fit in what you'll actually get...
...if Bukowski had been using this with WordXP !? :-D
You're right, there's only one RiscOS :-)

I actually found there many packages that I use a lot in both my musical and journalistic activities.
I was about to write you a loooooong answer in order to show you most alternatives but this link just does it much better that I may have...
Have fun!
Here are several possibilities:
or any other Intel proc which started as x86 DX und soon became sold as cut-down x86 SX...
If these people were really behind Sept.11 tragedy then we shall expect an even more atroce one in the forthcoming days because for them it is rather a Holy War than just a punition.
Hope I'll live old enough to forget these days.
