  1. Re:I doubt this will fly on Search Engine Learns From User Feedback · · Score: 1

    You apparently never used SubMe? It worked quite good. It really helped me preparing for school works.

    To bad they took it down. I've tried to email the authors (SmartHaven.com), but they use a blacklist email filter that blocks my ISP for some obscure reason :-(

    Ow, then I might suggest using a browser that can zoom the page? Something like Opera. A zoom factor of 120% or 130% usualy makes pages most readable on 1600x1200 displays.

    Here, links that do work (as yours doesn't seem to):

    Fujitsu P1120
    And the Froogle Search (both results were $1199.99)

    How about a MOSIX cluster of these!

    Hey, where have you lived?

    It obviously should read: "How about a openMosix cluster of these!"

    Or better: "How about running clusterKnoppix on these!" :-P

  9. Case is small indeed... on Nimble V5 - The OQO Killer? · · Score: 1

    Okay checked the Register article:

    The V5 measures 19.3 x 19.3 x 5cm (7.7 x 7.7 x 2in)

    Uhm, well the EPIA motherboards are 17 cm x 17 cm, so I checked Froogle and mini-itx.com but indeed I couldn't find cases that wrap around the mobo that tightly.

    But maybe somebody can enlighten us?

  10. High price? on Nimble V5 - The OQO Killer? · · Score: 1

    The specs are - VIA 733 MHz, 128 DDR266, 30 GB HDD, USB 2.0, PCMCIA, no display, $699
    What kind of OS do they run? It must be Windows, unless it's some 'hyper-engineered' one they build themselves, you can get the hardware for about $400-500 in the USA, AFAIK.

    Site is down so I couldn't check...

  11. Re:1 false positive is not acceptable. on The Next Step in Fighting Spam: Greylisting · · Score: 1

    Is this filter as generic that it can be used on meta-search engines? Yes, I mean non-spamfilter purposes.

    I'm talking about so called 'intelligent'/'smart' *cough* searchengine. When you really search some information you are already willing to spend more than half an hour on it, so why not learn the computer what you search for?

  12. Why didn't he automate everything? on Memory Timings Analysis · · Score: 1

    Apart from the lack of latency testing, why didn't he use programs to tweak this kind of stuff? There are programs that run from FreeDOS, that for example can adjust about all settings of your chipset.

    Then also use a good benchmark program that can run from FreeDOS and you're ready way faster. Not to bash any (more) real OS, but DOS boots way fast, it's easier to 'deploy' than making your own memory-benchmark-OS.

    "I never realized how slow a P133 was until I waited for /. to load as the homepage"

    Slow loading? You should try Opera6, *though* it has intergrated Google search ;-)
    [You can chose from others off coarse]

    Bewarned, Opera7 is just too slow on these old machines :-(

  14. Re:Now available in P2P on A 3D Animation of Kernel Source Development · · Score: 1

    That's what I mean, so did I do just a few posts below. Kazaa can't search on hashes, you won't know if you didn't query the wrong keywords if you get just a few meager hits.

  15. Re:Gnutella mirror on A 3D Animation of Kernel Source Development · · Score: 1

    Ah well, anyhow. It seems that a just few people actualy tried receiving it via gnutella. It wasn't a that bad idea :-)
    p2p systems should be used for these things. Off coarse you can do illegal stuff with it, so? Try to use it properly and others will follow.

  17. Re:Now available in P2P on A 3D Animation of Kernel Source Development · · Score: 1

    Kazaa is obsolete, don't share files on a client that can't check file integrity. It's nice for leaching though. If you don't really mind some blimps in your audio/video files.

    Just my 2 cents

  18. Re:Gnutella mirror, other videos on A 3D Animation of Kernel Source Development · · Score: 1

    The other ones:

    "From 1.2.0 to 2.4.1: 12 MB MPEG (384x288, 1400 frames)":
    magnet:120-240.mpg
    gnutella://120-240.mpg
    ed2k://120-240.mpg

    "From 1.2.0 to 2.4.1: 4 MB MPEG (320x240, 1200 frames, low motion)":
    magnet:120-240s.mpg
    gnutella://120-240s.mpg
    ed2k://120-240s.mpg

    btw, untill somebody loads them in their eDonkey client the files won't show up on that network. Just there for compatibilty. Shareaza can generate them anyway.

  19. Gnutella mirror on A 3D Animation of Kernel Source Development · · Score: 2, Informative

    The server will fade out sooner or later, so I put up a gnutella mirror of the first linked video "A guided tour of Linux-2.4.5: 9 MB MPEG (384x288, 2000 frames)."

    magnet:245.mpg

  21. Modules and modprobe anyone? on Should The Next Windows Be Built On Linux? · · Score: 1

    You could just (re)compile a module and insert (modprobe) that into the kernel, IMHO.

  22. Re:no, it shouldn't on Should The Next Windows Be Built On Linux? · · Score: 1

    I still think it's strange that Microsoft didn't include Win9x/Win3.x emulation in WinXP/2k. I mean a 'hard' emulator/VM. Just fire up a VM-Ware or Bochs (the latter one is 'just' an x86 emulator, I know) styled virtual machine and run the program in it's native environment.

  23. Re:Linux port? on Running Mac OS X Binaries With NetBSD · · Score: 1

    You forgot to mention this special fact from the Mac On Linux homepage.

    Sep 5: Boot MacOS X in MOL 0.9.65!

    It is now possible to run MacOS X within MOL. Both MacOS 10.1 and 10.2 are supported. The new MOL version also contains support for little endian (remote) X displays. A couple of performance improvements have also gone into this release."

    Q: Why don't they port this to BSD, instead of reinventing the wheel?

    Huh? And I guess Ctrl-Alt-Delete to kill processes is more obvious? Having a nice little button to do this would be pointless waste of screen space, this is just something that people will have to learn if they need it.
