The best emulation done currently is the one you will find in sidplay2 (sidplay2.sourcerforge.net i believe) and takes quite a bit of cpu from a pentiumII... a 486 can't emulate a sid in all its finest details.
Uh.
X is currently taking 196.1% of my 128MB memory.
But that's probably because I shouldn't believe top.
(and that agpart memory gets added to the memory it
takes)
I like rhetoric and arguements but that doesn't make
them useful or meaningless. In the end it's just a game.
I like them because actually, with a bit of dialectic science you can always turn a discussion to any side. There's no right, no wrong. The end result is null. useless.
The point of the author is that all this doesn't work for advocacy, especially when it comes down to a (hidden or not) ad hominem
attack, and that's about time people realize it.
bbs were almost never used for commerce am i wrong? that was the big point with the minitel, being centralised and control by the telecom monopolist permitted at the same time the system to be adopted by companies for commerce.
This is all very well but screensavers!=demos. I know that Skal/bomb did a few graphics hacks for
xscreensaver, but a demo is much more than a
unique, silent, screen.
1- you are on Linux, don't let the hardcore coders
convince you that you should do everything. You have to take all the power from your Os, and taking profit of the huge offer of libraries on linux is its ownly strength really. -in demo dev-
2- don't do a coder only project. Demos nowadays are more and more turning towards quality art and what you need here is a concept, a design, an idea, and a group of talented persons to help you. (music+gfx)
The key issue here is that in the musical industry you encounter two copyrights:
The copyrights on the composition, given to the author, and which is a very 'abstract' copyright, and the copyright on the recording, which is what you are really acquiring when you are buying a cd. (of course its the label who owns the 'recording')
So each different recording is considered separatly. In your case, a new high quality recording is a different work. As a musician, I could (if the labels' contract didn't forbid it) release the same tune through different labels as different recordings. (of course the recording/composition differentiation gets awfully blurred in electronic music)
actually l'ordinateur individuel was not out of business last time i was in france, but changed drastically from a computer tech/programming oriented mag to a bullshit oriented mag.
huh? that ast against linus discussion where everybody could read that in practice
Linus was against microkernels happened before
Linu[s||x] got famous.
... * Cooperate with other jurisdictions to secure evidence and extradite those persons charged with a computer crime.
what is quite worrying is the way computer "crimes" would be more severly and seriously handled than common crimes. in such cases (even for
murders and other attrocities)
extradition is not always directly executed..
apparently the whole treaty is suggesting some
politicians' counselors have been drawing a very
dark picture of computer related "crimes".. why?
It's all about setting a reasonable threshold. I know that for my own stuff, I prefer it to be downloaded, so I won't encode it at 320kbps nor would release the wav file because its simply too big. Actually the threshold should be set per tune, but anyway, that's what vbr's for.
God knows how much I hate audioperverts^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hphiles, but mp3s do have a sad effect on music. On certain musics rather. You can't expect a generic algorigthm to
works equally well on all kinds of sonorities, and
I do know that when I hear my own tracks at 160kbps, the effect is still quite strong.
mp3 seems to work pretty well on pop, but when it
comes to more peculiar sounds, its effects can be
very bad.
I didn't mention _rohformat because so far they
only released XM's (which are perfectly fine for
this style of minimal techno... I bet you wouldn't win much by going mp3 there)
You may not know that there is a big number of online labels existing, and distributing free mp3s (legal mp3s) on the net.
The existence of those labels makes it easier to find music of your taste:
monotonik --
Highly acclaimed internet label releasing IDM/experimental materials from all around the world. They were showcasing at the recent Ars Electronica.
noise -- Noise is releasing all kinds of fine ambient,
techno, drum'n'bass, with always a focus on experimentation and quality. (Some jewels were released there by Stereoman (now esem), Saag...)
theralite --
Since theralite started releasing mp3s their focus got more and more on diversity and quality. Releases are ranging between trip-hop, drum'n'bass and house. (check THERA001 and THERA012 for some very nice trip hop tunes)
tokyodawn -- a label focusing on triphop and drum'n'bass.
tokyo2051 -- sub label of tokyodawn, releasing mainly techno materials.
you also have kahvi collective releasing idm, techno, ambient, milk releasing experimental finnish techno, reaktio...
Even laurent garnier's website has some mp3s which were selectionned after a remix competition...
You can get also some infos and more links on the scene news website noerror
The conclusion is that you can find tons of legal mp3s on the net, (I hardly listen to anything but what I get on the net) It's just a bit harder to find and know about the artists and labels around.. but if you're interested, you will find.
What most people have to realise is that this idea against reverse engineering in general is again an invention of the software developement industry.. In all the other industries, reverse engineering is common, and used by all.
For example, if you visit a car manufacturer you will see they have groups dedicated to tear down and study in detail their competitors' cars. I know also a few persons in the microelectronics field, who had as a project to design machines for helping reverse engineering. (for a big big player in the market)
(those were physical machines to permit the manufacturer in question to open the chips and study each layer of them)

and w3m is still lynx done right!
And to this i reply we are more in need on linux of demos than screensavers atm :)
no monsieur joshua, you are the person on crack here! and please remove that hopefully!
