Yes, I've heard of that, and Netmeeting, and all those services.
I'm talking about the professional, 900 number, back of Hustler, $3.99 a minute telephone network paradigm.
Amateurs may use this, although it's a little less anonymous since they've got your home phone number instead of a pseudo-anonymous dynamic IP address. You have to get a subpoena to connect an IP to a person. A reverse phone book or perhaps one of those $29 "Find Anybody!" services is all you need to connect a phone number to a person.
How many of you want to be awakened by your boss calling you because you're late, and you have to stare at him through a camera, with your hair running every which way and eye crusties looming?
How many of you girls want to get calls from your hot date and have to show him your green exfoliating facial mask and curlers in your hair?
People like voice communication because it's easy to seem professional and mature on the other end, no matter what you are looking or feeling like. I can discuss networking plans in my shorts and undershirt at home, or order a pizza while I'm blind drunk, without fear that the other person is staring at one particular feature of me and giggling.
I predict absolutely no adoption of this for phone sex, either. You don't want to know what that sultry-sounding woman on the other end looks like.
Bankroll the NYT and you'll get any news you desire.
Oh, you don't want to pay?
Therein lies the whole problem.
Internet users want shit for free, because they paid for their computer and their dialup, dammit! they expect to have all this free video and news and shit!
I'll second the nomination for RAV. Busy regional ISP here, 25K customers, couldn't run spamassassin or anything of that nature due to the fact that all other apps have to fork off for each and every email coming in. RAV stays mem resident and as such, is super-quick.
Nah, it's like putting a paper bag over the pig's head - enough to make the difference between gnawing your arm off to get away and begrudgingly accepting the situation.
I'll agree. Back when I was a young sprite, I brought my computer to a friend's house and we set up in the shed out back. Didn't have a phone line, so I spliced together speaker wire, 300 ohm twinlead, 75 ohm coax, and household zipcord to make a two-conductor cable long enough to get a POTS line out there.
I never broke 26.4k connects at home normally, but through that line I got 51k to 53k connects all night long.
And what happened to the plans for the original York?
Interestingly enough, they're microprinted on the foil wrapper that surrounds a tasty, refreshing confection that you can buy in any corner store or gas station for 39 cents.
Judging by Rob Malda's comments surrounding the subscription thing, Slashdot's largest expense is the bandwidth. Serving up cached articles could easily increase their bandwidth consumption several times over.
Judging from all the editors' comments that "people don't come here to read the comments", by process of elimination they come here to read the front page and visit neat links. And if they want to keep shoving ads down our throat and bitching about [donations|subscriptions|/. pity parties], they'd better deliver the fucking content. And if the content is on a DSL line with a P2 as a webserver, it's their responsibility to ensure that i'm getting some value in exchange for that annoying banner ad at top.
Just like the elitist fucks that review 7 inch singles that nobody can find in indie magazines and then bitch about why nobody cares about their reviews.
Umm, yeah. Then you have 5000.doc files that were all made with different versions that you have to open up and get the metadata so you can figure out why the fuck those list bullets aren't showing up correctly.
And yes, I know that there are serveral versions of the.doc format, but the latest MS word processor can read them all. If you wanna use Word 6 on a P133, well, OF COURSE you're not going to be able to view that 200 page document with embedded video clips that the boss created on his new XP box. That's what you get for using dinosaur hardware and software.
I'm not saying MS is right, I'm saying that they're protecting their interests, and the last thing they're going to do is create a forward and backward-compatible file system so you have no need to upgrade when Word 2003 comes out.
Excellent post. I'm going to have to go home and try that. I've just recently delved into granular synthesis as well, and it's doing my head in right proper.
I think that the reason people are resistant to give up their finicky hardware 303's for software is that they have quirks and flaws in the audio that give it its character. The acid craze was not due solely to the fact that it had a sweepable filter, but the fact that they designed it wrong and it overdrives the filter when you've got the resonance up a fair bit. Nice good old discrete component distortion.:)
You'd think that they could do a 303 clone with all the quirks and stuff programmed in, given the power of most computers today. A 500 mhz P3 should handle it nicely. I run Reason 1.0.1 on an Athlon 1.1 alongside Cubase 5.1, and I have to work HARD to get that rig over 70 percent CPU unless I'm putting some really ridiculous shit in a track.:)
Yet they still carry Heavy Metal, Up In Smoke and Pink Floyd videos.
They love making the money off the drug culture, but god forbid somebody get high after their boring-as-fuck retail job to deal with the stress of living at 50 percent of the poverty line...

Hey, you also left out:

Ah, but they do care. 85 C seems to be the official redline.
Although, informally, if you're breaking 60, rethink your cooling setup.

You're not using a big enough hammer.
Or enough glue.

This is very, very cool.
But the real fun begins when they learn how to do the reverse - convert endurance into strength.
MSFT = four characters
Microsoft = nine characters
I can see using that abbreviation, as it cuts the length to less than half, but...
RHAT = four characters
Redhat = six characters
Just spell the names out. We're not talking about their stock value in this thread.
From the story:
I just wish that I had the time and money to make something this cool."
You probably have plenty of time available; you just blow it all surfing Korean case-ricer sites and posting stories on Slashdot.

I'll take that over three years of pre-Daikatana hysteria any day.

Reborn, a clone of the legendary ReBirth
So it's a clone of a clone of a box that was originally built to simulate a bass guitar?
What happens when we get linux clones of the Windows port of this program? Oooh, my head....
And then somebody will build this into a hardware box, with a little TFT on the front and a few rotary encoders....
and then somebody will program a software simulation of THAT box....
Ever installed Word off of floppies?
Slackware?
On ten machines?
