Are there any plans to improve the binding on your future books? Many of us use O'Reilly books to death and the binding is the first to go. I know I certainly wouldn't mind pay slightly more for a stronger version of some of the most heavily used titles.
Hiring a professional photographer can do that (note the credit to Sam Ogden at the beginning of the MIT page).
That was one thing my senior year in high school taught me. See, at our school, the year book pictures for seniors would be shot by a professional photography studio while all other grade levels would be shot in mass production slaughter pens set up on campus.
Because I was only in my second year in High School, but on track to graduate that year, I got my picture taken for both grade levels. My senior yearbook picture looks very handsome and mature. The sophomore picture looks childish. Both were of the same person (me) and taken during the same year.
High School Prom also taught me the same thing. All of the girls who normally had "average" looks looked absolutely stunning at prom. The girls who normally looked stunning at school didn't look any better than normal and some were actually not quite as nice looking as normal -- too overdone.
A little makeup, time in front of a mirror, and a few helpful hints from a friend who knows what they're doing can do wonders for your appearance.
I've heard a couple of beers in the beholder can do that too... But I've never tried that one myself.;-)
Well, don't worry about it too much. She's married. If you scroll down to the end of the MIT page and look at the publications, you'll see her last name changes sometime between 1996 and 1998.;-)
I just CVS'ed a copy on 3/21 morning, compiled it, and it's working fine for me in Red Hat Linux 5.2 with kernel 2.2.3-ac1 and gtkstep 1.5. I don't know what's wrong with your build, but so far mine hasn't crashed (only been running it for a few minute though), it can render Slashdot and Freshmeat fine (except forms sometimes get put way in the wrong place), microsoft.com looks beatiful in it, and it's snappy.
Try again...;-)
(PS: I'd post this from within Mozilla, but the submit buttons in Mozilla don't seem to do anything at this point).
PCM-5820-E0A1 - This one looks damn cool. 3.5" SBC with audio, vga, 10/100 ethernet, IDE controller, single +5V power requirement, up to 140F so it can work without CPU fan... This sounds like the perfect board to make a portable MP3 player out of, except you need to write a Linux driver for the Cyrix CX 5530 PCI sound interface (I don't think Linux has one yet).
You might also need some power supply circuitry to get the proper power off of batteries and for your hard drive. Anybody know of any laptop sized IDE hard drives that use only 5V instead of 12V? Also, anybody got schematics for a 6V (four 1.5 AA batteries) -> 5V power regulation circuit?
I dunno about the rest of you, but I'm really tired of having to sit at home with my desktop to listen to all my favorite music. And I'm tired of waiting for Diamond/Creative Labs to get their act together and produce a serious portable MP3 player (and no, the Rio is not serious IMHO).
Note that the new version might be slower than the older binary only releases because of your compiler. With binary only releases, the author may have used an optimizing Pentium (pgcc) compiler unliek the gcc/egcs combo most people have on their systems.
This is just speculation, I haven't actually compiled any MP3 players under normal gcc and pgcc to compare.
You guys are doing it too hard. Here's what you do... Install Linux on all of your machines using a little less than half of the upper part of the drive. Then install Windows just the way you want it on one machine. Boot back into Linux and create a tarball of the entire Windows partition. Ftp this tarball to all of your Linux machines, untar, and go.
The part about this is if a student deletes some OS files in Windows, you just boot into Linux, login root, and untar your Windows tarball back out and you are up and running again in less than 15 minutes (10 of which are unattended minutes).
AOLame -- get a clue. If you win, soon it will be illegal for me to put phrases like "Press any key to continue" into my programs. This is nuts. I hope AT&T counter sues you and wins for this outrage.
Take a look at the kernel devel archives.. Lots of people have been reporting this and stuff.. I think there are a couple patches floating around to fix it too.
Darn... I didn't even get to see the new layout.

A Bit About Freshmeat

I usually only hit Freshmeat once a day after I get home from work.. I didn't even get to see the new layout -- instead I just see this grey rant page. Doh!
