It was several years ago, though, and I am still trying to figure out all the stuff he didn't tell me, such as standard libraries, but that's where I turn to begining linux programing. It is a great book for learning how to write your regulation personal telephone book type app., though, and the version I got came with a cd that had all code, plus videos from the author, introducing and explainging each chapter. Not to mention it's kind of facinating, knowing as you read the back and forth between the author and the novice, that they end up married at the end of the book!
I am sitting in a room witth about 50 computers, an air conditioning unit and a who knows how many small ups's, not to mention the BIG ups, and the generators!--I turn on mp3's whatever, and I have trouble hearing them, on my cappy speakers, there is so much noise in here!--someone pleasae take it away! ;-)
different specific weights--they stay in bands when they stop spinning--and no it does not make it pure in this method, as their tends to be a little recombination at the meeting of the bands--think choclate milk, before stirring
please, just stop bragging about all the wonderful machines you are using, and how everything should exist for them--it is really annoying---besides why are you watching movies at work (admitidly, I am too, but hey, I have a fake job) I am not complaining that there is no installer for the vax, now am I?
I just happend to think it is kinda neat that someone who happens to be a fairly good looking famous female type likes the same type of books as me--I sorta doubt she quoted it to make herself popular with a buch of geeks--she did after all have to explain the quote, and so on.... it was actually the whole rest of her speech that made everyone go, "oh she's one of us,she understaaaaands!!", as you put it---or maybe made us go "oh I understand, now, about musicians position in the industry...and isn't it kool that she likes sci-fi books too!" (note:snowcrash isn't what I think of as cyberpunk, but that could just be 'cause I was never a big fan of it, and I like that book way too much!)
I doubt anyone thinks that the machines you are refering to are normal desktop machines--the above referenced processor would be for the more average person, needing web and wordprocessing applications--it is a bit silly of you to think that everyone in the world is doing high power work on their little desktop machines
courtney love quotes neal stephenson!--she actually read his book!--how cool is that! (note:the quote was from the first chapter of snow crash, for those who haven't read it yet--now go get a copy!)
just a note--the lead singer has a doctorate(or was it master's, been awhile since I cared) in molecular biology--he may not know the law, but definitly a bright guy
wasn't there a slashdot article a while back about tcp over email?
ah...can't seem to find the article, but I do remember it--maybe the two could be combined into the firewall proof version...or I could just be talking out my ass again.
just a note: your assuming that they are using your date system of day-month-year, and not month--day--year
of course, I'm not sure which would be better though, a zero release after 3 days, or after 3 months?
actually, if I remember right, there was an article, or part of one of his books, where he talks about using a teletype to write a program on a university computer in a high school class, and in quite a few articles, he talks about hacking on this or that program, and doing this and that with his multiple computers wish I could find that article--oh well he is obviously not compter illeterate though
A note to the uninformed medium format film is NOT 35mm--it is an approx 2 inch square of film, and is used to take much higher quality pictures then anything I have seen in a consumer(or even professional) digital camera. Of course that doesn't mean that you shouldn't use digital camera--a few years ago, I worked at a place where we used 4x5 cameras(yes, that's 4 inches by 5 inches of film) for all our work--we switched to digital because it allowed us to have a much greater turn around time,albeit at a large drop in quality. And we were using the best cameras available at the time--they were 10,000$ each, I can't rememember the model # but it was a kodak digital back mounted on a nikon N-90. The point is that the right format must be chosen for the application, and at the moment that means digital for speed, and film for quality!
the software is written, it's easy to use(especially under linux), and people do it all the time--all that is needed is icecast, as that is what it is designed for--there is no need to 'rig the software', just use the proper tools
try out http://www.icecast.org-- it streams the mp3's, or any thing else for that matter--I have heard that people use it to stream microsoft media stuff also--and as far as the hardwae goes, there should be no problem--just plug into the microphone or line in port of the sound card. Ice cast provides all the software you need to broadcast the live stream (liveice), but freshmeat has all kinds of other little tools that make it easier too.You might ask the guys here how they do 'geeks in space'
personally, I use icecast at home to stream mp3's to all the other machine's in the house--central storage of all mp3's and all types of machines can listen!(yeah, I know that just sharing the crap would be easier, but it was more exciting this way)
side note:I can't submit anything HTML formatted!, what's the deal?
actually in our lab we throw you out if your not a student...you don't have a right to use the computers here unless you are one, sorry (note:not my policy, the schools)
It seems like there is something a little odd here--or maybe it's just me--I just can't figure out why this supposed linux PDA has repeat/game1 and launch/game2 buttons Also if you look at what seem to be screen shots you see some kind of what is supposed to be an mp3 player, and some kind of thing to watch videos(on a PDA?-well maybe it's a good idea?)--and something about development of the OS, and a web browser--the common thing between all of these is that are just screenshots from a regular desktop--there is no way that you would be able to read the text if text this small were on any PDA that I have ever seen Also, while it looks to my eye like the physical device that you see is a photograph, what they are showing on the screen is definitly some kind of badly drawn artist representaion of what it is linux is supposed to look like that kinda leaves me two options in my thinking--either this is badly faked, or they don't actually have any kind of working prototype, and are just hoping for someone to..well I really don't know what...
then again, it's kinda seems like whoever wrote the page doesn't speak english either well, maybe it's all just a bad translation or, maybe I am just an idiot
either way I hope that someone does come up with one of these things soon, cause I know I want one
Something I thought was kinda of interesting was what Gibson wanted to do for his next book: he wants to write something where the reader says "Wait a minute! That WAS science fiction, but it was also completely contemporary reality with next to nothing made up" I couldn't help thinking that this is the response I had to a certain recent novel--Let me think...what was the name again.....oh yeah! The Cryptonomicon!:-} but maybe I am wrong...
what about icecast?--it's open source, and from what I understand it will even stream asf files(that's just from a comment I saw somewhere, I don't know for sure), and probably many other formats, as it will send any file
remember that alternate history is just that--alternate history--it's just that it happens to go along with some general SF themes, and is often by SF authors--that is why it is in the SF section at the bookstore, not necesarily because it's Science Fiction--this is very often the case--for example many stores no longer put the fantasy part on the SF/fantasy section--but all the books are still in the same place
stop thinking of the bearings as a way to track movement--think of them instead as a way to keep the user in one place use some kind of boot or sensor to determine what the foot is doing--this allows significantly more interaction with the environment, as movement in three dimensions can be measured--in other words you can kick something, or march, or whatever, and it will be reflected in the simulation. maybe I am just missing something, but it seems like you would like to model all of the bodies movement within the simulation---I keep thinking of the sword fighting in SnowCrash
Slashdot Mirror
actually L. Ron Hubbard was one of the better authors of golden age science fiction--just pick up anything from or about that time

It seems like there is something a little odd here--or maybe it's just me--I just can't figure out why this supposed linux PDA has repeat/game1 and launch/game2 buttons
Also if you look at what seem to be screen shots you see some kind of what is supposed to be an mp3 player, and some kind of thing to watch videos(on a PDA?-well maybe it's a good idea?)--and something about development of the OS, and a web browser--the common thing between all of these is that are just screenshots from a regular desktop--there is no way that you would be able to read the text if text this small were on any PDA that I have ever seen
Also, while it looks to my eye like the physical device that you see is a photograph, what they are showing on the screen is definitly some kind of badly drawn artist representaion of what it is linux is supposed to look like

every time I register, I get a message saying that an email addy is required--of course I had already put one in, but i asks again regardless!
oh well I will have to try later!
