Might have been too much to drink tonight, but that was my first thought too... I didn't have the voice synth, nor the game now that I think of it, but my friend did, and I have nothing but good memories of Parsec.
Perhaps I'm getting old. Nah... age is only in the mind... well, the body too.. and the gray hair I'm getting... and the excessive use of the ellipsis...
The fact that it isn't clear...(a little spoilage)

Review: Insomnia
·
· Score: 5, Informative
DamnKatz said: This is really the heart of the movie -- a searing, twisting and turning moral agony for Dormer who, driven nearly mad by the insomnia he experiences in the long Alaskan day, tries, along with local police novice Ellie Burr (Hilary Swank) to understand what has happened, and what ought to be done about it. The fact that it isn't clear -- to him or to us -- what happened to Hap -- gives the movie a taut, gripping edge.
It is incredibly clear and a very important part of the movie that Dormer DID shoot Hap. Any doubt as to whether Dormer shot Hap makes the second half of the film make no sense at all. This is NOT what gives the movie a taut, gripping edge. The fact that it IS clear and it is used against Dormer is what gives it a taut, gripping edge.
Does Katz see these movies and then do a write-up on the drive home so he doesn't take away from his pr0n time at his desk? Glaring mistake Jon...
I used to work for an adult entertainment company that did modem to modem video conferencing. We swore up and down that someone was re-routing our phone lines, but we could never prove it. We could be having a kick-ass day and then all of a sudden......nothing. Very weird. I couldn't come up with any explainations so I went with the phone lines being rerouted. When in doubt, blame someone else.
That company went out of business tho... (for other reasons).
Ummm... just curious...

2.2 vs 2.4

How does one get 32000 connections? My understanding is that each connection is an open file descriptor. I haven't been able to get the kernel (2.2) to compile with > 1024 open file descriptors. Select breaks (even after recompiliing what I thought was necessary) and no matter what I try I can't open more than 1024 connections.
Sorry if this is a clueless question...

Sure, other ISPs might offer better service, but there is no other ISP that provides the content that AOL provides.
From the press release: The E2K project represents the latest commercial endeavor of the former Soviet Union's most talented computer scientists, many of whom have designed and delivered three generations of supercomputers, including those running the Russian Space Mission Control and the Russian Missile Defense System.
Ummm... so these are the same 'computer scientists' that have us worried about Y2K problems with their missile defense system? Yet they can design a killer chip like the E2K?
Are there any projects out there aimed at modifying Linux so that it is THE leading web server platform? Obviously you can't compete with IBM and 24 processors, but what about a distro that is aimed at serving web pages, static and dynamic, at such a high level that it can't be matched in price/performance?
I know Zeus is fscking fast, but what about an operating system that is designed from the ground up to be a web server? All OS bottle-necks removed.
Is this a crazy idea? Is it possible? Seems to me like Cobalt's systems are a lame attempt at doing this (no optimizations, just easy setup).
I guess if someone doesn't go to Linux Today for their news and goes to/. instead the broadcast would come off like/. rehashed. I just don't find the Linux Today site, what's the right word here, useful? No... I guess I just find the site doesn't fit my tastes. Oh well, you can't please everyone.
Even if the stories were 'fresh' the result was still lacking
Checked it out earlier this morning. The quality of the audio was good (it IS mp3 after all). The quality of the DJs (reporters? announcers?) was horrible. Reminded me of the 'news program' that I did when I was in 5th grade. The content was/. rehashed. And why do they need beta testers for IceCast technology? Any semi-knowledgable linux person can get that up and running with no problems. IceCast is, for the most part, proven software. Beta testing THEIR capabilites perhaps?
Until 2 years ago I was a pretty die-hard CodeWarrior user on the Mac (since CW 5! have the CDs sitting right next to me). The support staff at Metrowerks were always helpful, always reading the Mac programming newsgroups (comp.sys.mac.programming.* if I remember correctly. haven't looked at newsgroups in a LONG time).
Metrowerks, like RedHat, is a company with a strong drive to provide the best support for their customers as possible. A happy customer is usually a repeat customer.
I think once they get the first version out and they are comfortable with it they'll probably make sure it works with other -major- flavors of Linux. For now they are starting with one major distribution. I would be surprised if future version are not more linux-compatible rather than just RedHat-compatible.

What the hell is going on in the world today? Everything seems pretty f*cked-up right now. Hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes oh my!

What's next, the Second Coming of Christ? Or maybe proof of Extra-Terrestial Life!
Now that would be hella cool...
Not in our lifetime tho

It was a good movie tho... 3 out of 4

CNN is reporting that Arkansas is going to Bush putting him at 246. With Florida's 25 that would put him at 271 and into the white house.

I'm using RedHat 6.0
Just downloaded it and followed the instructions. Seems that I don't have a file called 'socketbits.h'
Am I missing something more than just this file?
Thanks Apple. Wonderful software you have here...

Even better! They aren't using IceCast! Doh! They are just serving the file with Apache!
Hey, I need some beta testers for this static file I'm serving...
Damn, way too cranky in the morning...

Win98 runs VERY well on my PII-350 with 128MB Ram.
Installed the display drivers for Win98 but I haven't tried the X server extensions yet.
Will definetly pay for this. vmware just eliminated the need for me to buy another machine
