Another good news for all of you that visit / work in Vienna. I found quite a good "Publocator" that features the 32 finest Irish and English Pubs in Vienna. You can find it under Schlucken.org. There are also rating of the pubs, approximate prices and last but not least a detailed descritpion how to get there (including map)
have fun

is this thing only for himalaya pro's and maybe army 3c personal? for all those guys that want a smooth car, volkswagen and mercedes benz offer internet kits for their cars that are by far more efficient and less - say - conspicuous
well i think that doesn't make sense, at least in my understanding of a cluster. first of all: what is a cluster for? i know two situations whane you might want to use a cluster: to gain performance or to gain redundancy (or to say so -> come closer to the 24/7 availability). in both way's a one cpu cluster won't help. so, what's the advantage of one....
oh yeah, before i forget.. i can already run multible apache instances on my single cpu machine
my athlon (a thunderbird 1Ghz) is working with a dual fan at approx 80 C, every once a while my cooler has little problems, the cpu starts to overheat and i get a warning. normally i turn off my system and fix the cooler, but a few days ago i wasn't home when it happened, ans i must say that my computer continued to poerate for about 3 hours then it crashed (i saw this in the logs). what is more important - > the cpu is still functional. although amd produces more heat than the pentium, i don't thinkt that it will melt at once when the heatsink is away
... if they put their monitoring things only in the us, it means a whole lot of servers will move out of the us and to other locations (probably asia or russia, for maybe europe will cooperate with us). when they are able to log the traffic at keypoints worldwide then i smell trouble
are the things this pda can what my palm v can't. i can even run a webserver on my palm (but as a matter of fact thats absolutely senseless). world's slimmest personal assistant is still a sheet of paper, and for all of us that want a digital playtool (all of us) the exisiting things will do just fine
hopefully grub supports xp. i recently tested xp as an alternative for win2000 (my company forces me to use windows - i can't they force me to use office buhuhu) and when i wanted to boot, lilo told me that only Linux is present on my system (and yes, i had xp installed). hopefully grub recognizes xp
err, we already have minidisc, that's enough for music i think. quality is good, size is small - perfect (yes you need a MD recorder for most titles are sold on CD). and for data? i think a normal Compact Disc is perfect. ist is slim, and the size is almost perfect for writing the title on it and, still more important for the normal geek they are big enough not to get lost too easy. so, why do we need another mini-sized data carrier? is it really useful to spend tons of money for a new drive that you can't write on and that will (as i think) not stand the test of time
GPS has not only an accuracy of 1m of military uses but a resolution of a few inches. this is accomplished by feeding the satellite input into a special device that is used for missiles to strike accurately hardened targets
... no company has ever managed to set standards forever... while microsoft sets standards in userfriendlyness (maybe they do), they still lack standards in securtiy.
datacenter is only a way for microsoft partners top make more money... i think that an advanced server is enough for almost any company. they just want to sell their "customized" solutions for companies that don't trust in their sysadmins.
hi everybody...
hopefully they have streamlined the new version. a few years ago, when i started linux i had to make the decision which editor to use - emacs or vi. (i guess most of you had to make this decision too) one of the reasons why i choose vi was that it was slim - it was an editor and not very much else. the sheer number of functions of emacs frightened me. so i hope that they steamlined emacs a bit so that beginners will make it their editor of choice, for it still is a damn good editor
... saying if you don't publish blueprints, nobody will know where the door is. Microsoft should be glad that all these reports are out, for this is a way they can react to them. It is no good putting one's head in the sand. The programmers at Redmond - the one's who left the doors open in the first place - should just read the reports and fix the holes. Maybe this would contibute to the "Win2000" is secure image Microsoft wants to build up in public opinion. If you don't publish the exploits, end user style people will think "Hey, M$-Software is more secure than all others, because there are no exploits found on the net", trust in the M$ offered security and wonder why their computer is periodically hacked every second week by somebody who has the knowledge, but doesn't publish it.
hmmm this sounds like they do not prevent terrorism but they actively commit a terrorist action. does anybody know if this applies only to the us or if the want to hack anywhere, anytime?
hm, with a maze of 2x3 meters these robots must be quite small. good for collectin trahs but the problem will be people treading on them. I think bots should be bigger for better usability, so that they can autonomously mow the lawn or collect litter in parks... maybe you can also sell them for home use (maybe collecting my clothes)
hmmm, xmms looks like winamp with a skin (can't remember the name but it looks exactly the same as xmms), the basic functionality is the same, and - at least on my laptop - xmms works better than winamp. even more - xmms was developed for linux and isn't just a half hearted port.
so - why switch?
Hi everybody!
I just have to say one thing:
Here in Europe GPRS is already in use in cellular networks so I have some experience with it (the experience comes also from my job, I work at the largest cellular network provider here in Austria). Unlike HSCSD, GPRS does not provide stable data tranfer rates. 170 k sounds cool, but as experience has shown, these rates only apply if you stand directly next to a receiver. HSCSD uses multiple channels, reaches about 43 k and if you loose a channel (e.g. when the network gets crowded) you pay for one channel less. GPRS uses slots in one channel, and if a slot is unavailable - well, bad luck. Here in Austria most people prefer HSCSD for it is cheaper and more reliable, the maximum transmission speed reached with GRPS in real use is only slightly higher than HSCSD and generally speaking -> HSCSD is most times faster. GRPS is not a solution for high speed date. It is only a small step towards UMTS.
How do they monitor the site constatly from 5000 feet? is there a plane constantly circling around the site or is it done by a sort of balloon? can't this monitoring be achieved by satellites? Since the Aerican mititary is always showing off with their advanced sateelite monitoring tech it must be feasible to monitor the site from space
in europe xp will be presented in the first weeks of october as far as i know, but if you order a pc online you receive on with xp preinstalled (optional) how's that possible?
hmmm. well, i think i don't get it right here... please tell me where my logic is wrong.
1. the earths climate is dependant on the waether
2. weather can't be exactly forecast because of the chaos theory which says that in wheather there is an infinite number of variables.
so, either this earth computer can deal with infinite numbers of variables ot it just takes a wild guess... (predicting waht the climate will be thousand years is easy, i say it will be cold - proove me wrong in 1000 years)
massive parallel computing is a cool thing, but there are certain things that can't be solved with computers and i think weather forecasting is one of those things.
hi guys, i'm back from vacation and i just wanted to point out two little things:
1. i don't think quake will run significatly faster on the new Intel than on my athlon 1,4 with a geforce 2. as somebody has already pointed out processor speed isn't everything. so stay calm and don't trash your new computers because of a vague promise of processing power
2. may it be that intel canceled the release because of their massive heat problems, now forgoing the new xeon choosing to wait for a new, probaly cooler architecture?

i too think mpeg 4 is cool, for with DivX you can make cool mini DVDs, all with subtitles and menu and stuff
oh yeah, since i always use apache and perl in my job, finally i can also visit it.... cool thing
