  2. Green eyes? on Colorizing Images and Video by Scribbling · · Score: 1

    The first example picture is a bit strange. In the result picture the boy has green eyes, but there are no green markings on the eyes on the BW picture?

  3. Crip on Centrally-Controlled Home Music System on a Budget? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Crip

    From the page:

    crip is a terminal-based ripper/encoder/tagger tool for creating Ogg Vorbis/FLAC/MP3 files under UNIX/Linux. It is well-suited for anyone (especially the perfectionist) who seeks to make a lot of files from CDs and have them all properly labeled and professional-quality with a minimum of hassle and yet still have flexibility and full control over everything.

    I'd like to know where I could download Pathfinder. You can see Pathfinder in one of the screenshots.
    Few minutes with Google revealed it uses Fox-Toolkit and it's being deleloped by Jeroen van der Zijp, but nothing else.

    From
    http://packages.debian.org/unstable/editors/nano .h tml
    "GNU nano is a free replacement for Pico, the default Pine editor. Pine is copyrighted under a slightly restrictive license, that makes it unsuitable for Debian's main section. GNU nano is an effort to provide a Pico-like editor, but also includes some features that were missing in the original, such as 'search and replace', 'goto line' or internationalization support. As it's written from scratch, it's smaller and faster.

    There's some fundamental problems, biggest would be rpm/deb problem, it wouldn't be impossible, but it would be still hard.

  17. Are you good enough to use debian? on A Better Installer for Debian? · · Score: 0, Insightful

    I was able to install Debian after only few months of Mandrake, and damn I was glad when I had my linux-box fully configured and running. (After a week of configuring with vim.)
    The installer isn't 'hard' it's rather "are you good enough to use debian?".
    Userfriendly installer doesn't fit with debian's style. :)

    Has anyone noticed how bandwith cost less to the end-user as to the upstream provider?
    Anyone notice a problem here?


    There's not problems when provider is sane, but for example my operator used to offer 2048/768kbit/s ADSL, with 1GB download limit. After that free 1GB every 10MB costed 2$. Downloading that 1GB would take less than 1,5 hour with that line.

    Debian is one Contributor to the LSB. I don't think they would've agreed with it if it would harm them.

  21. Re:Those crazy Finns on P4 2.2GHz Overclocked to 3.5GHz · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Damn, you were faster. :)
    Here's that english summary from muropaketti:

    English summary!

    Today we cooled the new Intel Northwood 2,2GHz CPU with liquid nitrogen (LN2 -196C).

    The motherboard used in the tests was Asus P4B266 based on the Intel 845 chipset (DDR). There was a voltage modification on the motherboard which allowed the VCore to be raised as high as we needed. The memory module was Crucial PC2100 128MB and memory settings were the fastest possible (CAS 2 2-2-5).

    We used a copper bowl on top of the CPU and poured some LN2 into it. It took a while until the CPU temperature started to drop and when it was cold enough, we started the test.

    First test was run at 3300MHz (FSB 150MHz) and with no problem at all (VCore 1,9V). The next step was rather high but after raising Vcore to 2,05V Northwood worked stable at 3520MHz (FSB 160MHz). We went on with the tests and finally hit the limit.

    We were able to boot to Windows 2000 when the CPU clock frequency was 3675MHz (FSB 167MHz) but we couldn't run any benchmark programs. The highest STABLE CPU clock frequency we were able to reach was 3630MHz (FSB 165MHz). At 3650MHz we were able to run heavy benchmark programs such as SuperPi and Pifast successfully although the VCore was quite high (2,12V). It seems that Pentium 4 can handle it without any conflicts.

    Check out the pictures above

    I think the 3675MHz Wcpuid-shot we were able to get can be considered as the overclocking world record at this moment (17/01/2002), but I'm pretty sure the Japanese will try to beat it as soon as possible :-)

    BTW, Quake 3 Arena was quite fun to play when the CPU was running at 3500MHz! o_O

  25. The article is meant for professionals... on 3Com's 10/100 Switching... Wallplate · · Score: 1

    This test is very similar to "ping," and tells you how long it takes another machine to respond. This measurement is commonly referred to as "lag" or "latency."

    I really didn't know what does "lag" or "latency" meant :-)


    TCP Throughput tests the time it takes to transfer a block of data from test desktop system to our test server system. Sometimes called "bandwidth," it is a measure of a network's raw transfer speed.


    "bandwidth,"
    Sounds like something pretty weird... :-)
