Freecache

· Score: 1
Freecache simply caches any data that goes through it, no matter what it is. You don't have to precache anything; the first request, freecache goes and gets it, the second request is served from cache.
relative addressed image URLs would apply, as the local browser would pull them from a URL based on the URL the current page lives at.
The EPA testing is not based on fuel consumed, but on emissions.
While all modern automobiles test more efficient, simply because their emissions are less than the benchmarks in 1972 when the test was created, hybrids are especially bad because the engine size they have create less emissions for gasoline burned, and because they are generally fitted with better catalytic converters.
But what can we do about it, other than follow the rules? I really really wish there was a whitelist method that reliably allowed the good mass marketers while filtering out the bad ones.
Like you said, mass email doesn't mean spam. And I think content based filtering is only going to go so far. God help us the day spammers develop a program that looks like a personal correspondance letter recommending a certain product...
The only thing that'll end the problem once and for all is a secure SMTP system that enforces valid headers... then the spammers can't hide behind anonymity and open relays to keep themselves on the net despite breaking acceptable use policies...
The problem is that OIRB is in fact junk mail; basically it's an association of a lot of different mass email marketers, and when you opt in for one, the fine print is that you opt in for all of them.
This is not effective email marketing nor is it ethical, IMHO...
I also do email marketing campaigns. Any campaign I design complies with the following criteria:
Users explicitly permit email to be sent to them
Users have the option to not receive email marketing items
User email addresses will never be sold or shared with other organizations
The email is sent from a non obfuscated mail server owned by the company sending the email (or their ASP), and the mail header information is valid
The email is a tasteful, well-formed message using no obfuscation techniques
The email is sent from a valid email address to a single recipient
As long as you follow these criteria there's no reason any spam filtering software should filter you out...
I, personally, disliked Wind Waker, but NOT because of the graphics. I personally rather enjoyed the graphical style. However, Wind Waker eventually devolved into endless sailing and one gigantic fetch quest with really nothing original about it.
Had they made the islands with about 1/3 the distance between them, I would've been happy...
But spending 10 hours fetching shit so I can spend 60-80 minutes working through a dungeon to fight a mediocre boss with an obvious and easily exploited weakness isn't exactly my idea of a fun game...
Miyamoto-san, if you are reading this, balance the next game. Keep the sidequests, but the amount of time I HAVE to spend outside of dungeons in order to complete the game should be roughly equal to the time it takes to complete the dungeons. Give me more NPCs in town, more sidequests, more interactivity.
And make the dungeon bosses a little harder than "use the weapon gained in this dungeon to defeat him"
And I take offense to the original poster claiming that this is more "mature." It isn't. Animation does not equal immaturity and (perceived) realism does not equal maturity.
Actually, I interpreted the "Mature" adjective to indicate that this is the first 3D Zelda game where Link is entirely adult...
I gave up on Nintendo when they started to require that I have a Gameboy to be able to play games multiplayer (FF Crystal Chronicles & Zelda 4 Swords).
Zelda 4 Swords is a Gameboy game!!!
Bitching about having to own a Gameboy to play Zelda 4 Swords multiplayer is like bitching about having to own an XBox to play Halo multiplayer.
At least they didn't make you buy 4 copies of the game to play it... other developers have done that with GBA games...
As far as FF Crystal Chronicles, they made the decision to push the technology and see what kind of innovation they could make with a personal display screen for each player. To participate in that experiment, you kinda have to own the personal display screen. If you think the barrier of entry is too high, then don't do it. But don't bitch because Nintendo is choosing to push the boundaries of how games are played. That's kinda what Shigeru Miyamoto is known for, and that's how all the classic characters were created.
It was so jerky I almost couldn't bear it, every other zelda game since the N64 has had better motion. What gives?
It's a demo. Most developers wait until near the end of the development cycle, after a good portion of defects have been fixed, to start optimizing for frame rate; the frame rate optimizations necessarily obfuscate the code a bit, so they want most of the problems fixed before they start doing that...
The optimizations on a game like this are probably a mixture of unrolling loops (if you have a loop that always repeats 4 times, it's cheaper to do the same thing 4 times than it is to loop), inlining functions (take little 3-4 line function calls and turn them into macros), and rewriting crucial inner loop code in assembly.
Just a thought; would this then require OIRB to positively identify which mass e-mail campaigns are theirs, so that SpamCop can comply with the injunction?
I mean in order to comply, OIRB would have to provide identifying characteristics of their e-mails, right? Isn't that just what all the spam filter guys have been looking for? Identifying characteristics... yeah I know, easy to change next week, but in the meantime they'll have a definitive list, giving them a clue into this week's state of the art in spam obfuscation...
Are you saying it's bad to combat P2P piracy? Slashdotters shouldn't care, right--after all, they don't illegally pirate. Right?
My position, and I'm presuming that of many slashdotters, is that there are legal non-infringing uses of P2P, and technologies meant to combat P2P piracy should focus solely on piracy, not on the P2P network itself.
I've been buying from the iTunes store since it came out. There is no valid reason whatsoever to pirate an artists' works on Kazaa and eMule. Slashdotters have yet to legally or morally justify ripping off an artist's stuff.
I've heard the argument "I own the CD, it's faster to download than to rip however"... I don't know if I buy that or not.
However, there are artists that do P2P releases. Small, underground, indie bands use P2P for distribution. I've even had bands tell me just to download their stuff from Kazaa, because they don't make any extra money on CD sales because of the terms of their contract...
There are also bigbands that do fan releases using P2P as their primary distribution method...
I understand that most of the work of Wine was in porting the Windows APIs. Have there been a lot of surprises outside of API porting that you've encountered along the way?
Of the various API libraries, are there any you thought would be particularly easy or difficult to port, that ended up surprising you?
I imagine at least some of the APIs worked somewhat contrary to their documented (or undocumented?) nature; in those cases have you chosen to go with the Windows implementation details in order to maintain compatibility?
Which API have you disliked working with the most?
if the worm writer is caught, can he be held at least partially responsible for any deaths that occured during this outage?
The answer is no. Ethically and morally speaking, it is not possible to be partially responsible for a death. Death, the extinguishing of a sentient life, is a moral absolute that cannot be diluted.
Being part of a mob that stoned an innocent man to death makes you no less guilty than if you killed him by yourself.
You almost have it right... first, a couple of hookers come to you. Then, a few hours later, they are followed by the sales director.
I don't know who you buy your drives from, but as I haven't been getting the BJ + on-site-service pitch, we may have just found the first argument why NOT to buy drives from IBM Enterprise...
More concerning would be whether or not they would induce an immune response.
Immunopathology can be as mundane as allergy symptoms or as severe as shock.
If you were treated with these computers in one instance they could cure you, but you could develop antibodies against them. Later upon receiving a second treatment you could induce large scale inflammatory responses.
I would imagine they would use standard immunosuppressive therapy while the machines do their thing, then let your immune system clean it out once its done its job...
My mother, who is severely allergic to many substances due to losing her spleen at a very young age, has to take steroid shots occasionally, and they let her do and eat things that she couldn't normally...
For instance, I'm a music producer that sometimes fills in at an Internet Radio station. My needs mostly center around beat and music creation. For that purpose, the DM2 and its accompanying postproduction suite, Mixman Studio Pro, are pretty good. Throw in there ZeroX's TrackCreator and a good MIDI synth program like ProTools or Creative Keytar and I've got everything I need to do live music mixing and remixing.
Now how much your brother might like Virtual DJ depends on what he wants to do with himself... Virtual DJ is good for aspiring radio jockeys, but not really good for anything else. And there's software like it in dyne:Bolic for free (though I highly recommend the suggested $10 donation)... as well as video djing, video, audio, 2D, and 3D editing suites, internet broadcast software, and a smattering of other free as in beer tools... and there's no install.
If I had to recommend an approach to help a budding DJ, get him the DM2 and see how he likes it before you invest in the rest of the tools (though if he does like it, the Mixman Studio Pro is a very nice complement) Go ahead and download/burn dyne:Bolic at the same time, so if he does get some
The TrackCreator will come in handy when your brother decides that the precanned beats in the DM2 aren't enough and wants to add more samples to it. At this point you might also consider a few samples libraries... either from mixman, already formatted for the DM2, or from a 3rd party requiring conversion through TrackCreator.
Also keep in mind that the Industry feeds off of biomass, and the only way to get biomass is to get some exposure; the best way to get exposure is collabing with other independent artists. When he's ready, tell your brother to drop me an e-mail and I'll hook him up with whoever I can.:)
Does sharpdevelop hook up to the.NET debugger? Even on remote ASP.NET applications?
If so... schweet...
Must look into it.
And C# is NOT hard for a VB.NET developer... all the library calls remain the same... the differences are:
implicit behaviours change... for instance, implicit casts from float to fixed in C# drop the remainder and in VB.NET round... for example a = 1 / 2 is 0 in C# and 1 in VB.NET statements must end with ";" case matters Syntax to start and stop code blocks (i.e. if() {... } vs. If Then... End If) New / different operators; examples:
i = i + 6 i += 6;
i = i + 1 i++;
If a = b Then if(a==b) {}
If a = b or c = d and e = f then if(a==b || c==d && e==f) { }
a = c mod 6 a = c % 6
Most of them aren't important, like the += syntax; it isn't required, it just makes your code run a little better.
Why bother? You just need to ruin the aerodynamic shape.
I was unaware of the planned goal when I posted the original.
But with all that said, you point is still very valid... you need a skin that is highly reflective in the proper wavelengths to defend against such a weapon.
In fact, if this weapon relies on aerodynamic turbulence to do its job, you would probably need something a couple orders of magnitude closer to a perfect mirror in order to do the job; in those kinds of ranges, you're talking about exotic silicate dichroics. A 1" square dichroic is heavy and can be quite expensive (I've paid up to $20 for dichroics this size before, on the surplus market)
Well since infrared is warm, you'll feel it eventually. Alot of restaurants and fast food joints use infrared lamps to keep your fatburger warm while you go fill up your drink.
Depends on the infrared. It would be more accurate to say that light when absorbed is warm and that most substances are opaque to near infrared. This laser being mid to far infrared, that wouldn't necessarily be the case.
I have heard of cases where people went blind from a small infrared diode laser without even realizing it...
See my other post in this thread. I'm using $30 bulbs with good results.
The situation you discuss is even easier; you can use a fresnel lens itself as the projection lens... just shine the light straight through the LCD (the overhead projector LCDs are still being made and work great), then use a fresnel to blow up the virtual image to the correct size...
First the downside, expect a LOT of tweaking to get it right. I've spent maybe 16 hours (over the course of a couple months) trying to get it just right. It all comes down to illumination; the light going through the LCD must be perfectly parallel, and then must be focused on the projection lens. If you don't get it just right, you get a bright in focus spot in the middle, falling off towards the edge.
I still don't have it quite right. I know what the problem is and I know how to fix it; if you're curious, "fresnel splitting" is what you should look for.
The biggest advantage of the plans at diylabs.org is that it uses metal halide bulbs, plenty bright enough for the job, but the bulbs only cost $30 or so each, instead of a couple hundred. You have to pay more up front, but over the life of the unit it'll more than make up for it.
You don't have to use an LCD for overhead projection. I used a typical car mount LCD, split it in half, removed the rear light array. If you go this route, two things to keep in mind; 1. the ribbon cables are fragile. I laid the whole assembly flat and coated liberally with epoxy to protect. 2. There might be a diffuser lens behind your screen. It'll look shiny and reflective, and you might assume it's a polarizer. If you can't get your projector to work try carefully removing it.
Overall I'm pretty satisfied; or at least I will be once I get the final fresnel lens I need:) I spent $100 on the LCD, $175 on the light, $40 on miscellaneous electronics (switch, fans, 12V power converter, wiring) I splurged the $60 for a projection screen; I highly recommend seeing what it's like without one, as I can't tell the difference between it and the bright white wall I was using at first...
It's already been said but let me repeat, any laser can burn out your eyes. Even low powered ones, when focused by the iris, can burn out portions of the retina.
This laser is infrared; that's actually WORSE than green. With a visible light laser, your eye sees the bright light and your pupil contracts to limit the exposure. With infrared, you can be in a pitch black room with pupil at full dilation and not even notice it. Until about six hours later when your vision slowly fades out.
COIL lasers (the military's current favorite for weapons class lasers) operate at 1.3 micrometers, in the mid to far IR range. And the laser's mode of resonance (transverse to an ionized gas flow in a traditional cavity) is not conducive to frequency doubling...
And, at 1 MW, this thing will punch a hole in a cloud without blinking...
