I came just shortly after. Got a 520ST+ which had a double sided floppy and 1MB ram (done by Atari through soldering RAM chips piggy backed) I got fast into demo programming. Here's my nostalgic webpage ST emulators start to become really useable. Best ones for demos are SainT and STeem. STeem even has a linux version.
Like in this theoretical exercise: You are in a grafics company and implement a blasting fast line drawing routine. Bresenham based of course. Using some really neat tricks. Later you are in a music instruments company and implement a really good sound sample plaing algorithm with variable speed etc... This is ALSO a bersenham based algorithm, but it's not drawing lines, it's not grafics. Is it IP to use the same programming tricks for both problems?
Wow, I guess this is how black holes work. Putting sow much in a nutshell will eventually lead to a massive collapse of the nutshell and we have a black hole. I thought this already happenend when you put windows 95 in a nutshell. Seems not, as we now put the whole universe in. Maybe trying with windows XP would be easier.
there is a project (or actually finished ?) to create a sort of skyscraper airbag. It's like a life vest, but if you inflate, it gets the size of an enourmous balloon, the person being safly inside. Due to the size it does not fall like a stone, and it will make a somewhat smooth landing. Remembers the pathfinder landing on mars.
This is supposed to be a "science" project but it uses non standardized measures.
Wasn't that the way NASA dumped a space probe on mars (US-miles, GB-miles or km)? I doubt anyone outside the US is able to build one of theese correctly.
This is done via computer generated speach.
Will there be anyone listening?
Or will someone go and have a computer listen to the transmission and turn it back into code:-)
It seems not to have a serial or ethernet port.
If you are not having it under your desk but in machine room like they show on one of the pics, you will never know if it's actually in good health.
Also I did not see an indication that it could tell a computer to shutdown before it runs out of fuel.
Is a gas-burning device more effective than a fuel-cell converting to electircity without any moving parts?
Or is it just easier to build?
Or perhaps just a technological challenge?
I got mine working on a stock linux 2.4 (Suse 7.0)
it's unusable. Can barely record 2 minutes
before the whole thing locks up.
This may be different with the latest drivers, but
I had not time yet to upgrade.
Here going to vote is an OBLIGATION.
If you don't vote, you can be fined.
So everyone has voted, and those who really
don't want, simply go in and deposit a blank
or invalid vote.
> The company's solution to that one: All laptops must now be taken home at night.
LOL, so next time they can steal the brand new LCD monitors. Same size easy-to-carry stuff.
oh yeah, once the - is not displayed in IE, everybody talks about it. But when the thousands of ' characters show up as ? in my linux-netscape
noone cries out.
Why do people use the ' (accent) instead of the ' (single quote) when writing texts?
Must be the same reason DOS use \ instead of /:-)

I decided to donate blood 3 months ago.
After the screening test I was sent my scheduled
first blood donation for wednesday 12 september.
So leaving work I lerned about the cataclysm and the next day I was at the red cross giving my blood.
Did god know that there would be a need for blood that day?
Why doing revenge with the same methods terrorists attack?
We are in the capitalist world, we control most of
the money flowing around. So why not just get all those millions from Bin Laden and others to finance the rebuild?
With some will there are ways to find that money.
lol, EMC and NT is not that good combination.
On NT you can only mount the microscopic amount of 24 disks.
On any unix server you can mount what you want. 2000 disks from the EMC box, if you wish, into one unix box.
On NT you are stuck with 24. C: D: E:... X: Y: Z:
That's it!
Now EMC had to invent special disks which are groups of disks thrown together to make one big disk so that NT can access more of the oh so expensive diskspace in the EMC box.
Isn't this a huge workaround for a bad designed OS?
When adding a disclaimer to a signed mail, the singature is made invalid.
Adding the disclaimer the right way (mime encapsulation) then the signature is useless
in... guess... yeah, OUTLOOK.
It still works fine in Netscape.
So our signed mails have no disclaimer because of outlook.
No comment on MS compliance with mime standards or any other standard.
I saw in a report if we covered a part of the sahara with photocells. Convert that enegy
in place to hydorgen (needing water piping and desalination in the desert).
Then ship the hydrogen to the overpopulated countries like japan who cannot have huge solar powerplants.
The area needing to be covered to supply the WHOLE earth energy need was a tiny square
in the huge sahara. perhaps 1%.
And if those cells get much hotter than the desert
around, there will be some nice wind which can be used by windmills. Double use!
I'm shure this will cost less than the sattelite.
And maintenance will cost less than the maintenance of the microwave reception station and sattelite control.
But it will never be build. The sahara is not in a country swimming in money.
Oh, and there is an US president right now who does not at all care about the environment.
Well this is not my problem. I live in Europe.
When the climate will get hotter, the gulf-stream
will most probably stop.
It won't carry the warm water to europe anymore.
So as the world gets warmer, Europe will get
colder. And whole europe will have the great pleasure to burn fuel for heating and warming earth more so that it gets again warm in Europe.
Nobody here will care about the weekly
Hurricanes in USA or jetstreams blowing through
New York.
What if I take 2 MP3 and XOR them together.
One I store on napster the other on gnutella.
So is now napster storing none of the two, one of
the two files or both?
What if one is in the public domain?

And what about this one?
Scovery xS
We are using them as in our company it's the only existing x-terminal sold today with a usable grafic resolution.
well, on this link is an old copy protection scheme: enforced DMCA?
but it apparently worked for at least one game.

Which box will you buy?
This one:
xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
or this one:
xxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxx
or this one?
xxxxx xxx
xx xxxxxx
xxxxx xxx
x xxxxxxx
xxxxxxx x
The spaces are because of lameness filter
yeah, any player using the DLLs will play it, but I did not manage to download it!
In a later post there is a link to the realplayer version.
well, so how do I watch this damn thing with linux?

This is the best explanation of swingby manoever or gravity assist I have seen.
And generally well done.
