  1. Phorum and W-agora on Open Source or Commercial WWWBoard Software? · · Score: 1

    There are two very good php based message boards that work with a variety of databases.

    phorum and w-agora
    www.phorum.com
    http://w-agora.araxe.fr/
    because they are both database based, they hold up very well under heavy conditions.

    I prefer to use w-agora becuase it is extreamly easy to customize, supports multiple forums, and even multiple sites (for virtual servers).

  2. Y2K "Bug" Dry Run on Massive Fiber Cut Slows Net · · Score: 0

    Was this a Y2K dry run for a terrorist?

    Just imagine if 20 pipes were cut in 20 states - it would only take 20 backhoes. We would feel the impact for 20 years. 20 billion dollars would be lost by 20 companies, 20 new laws would be passed, 20 thousand law suits would be filed, and it will all happen in 2000.

  8. Info on Max for the uninformed on IRCAM's jMax released under GPL · · Score: 1

    Max was developed at IRCAM for NeXT and SGI (I think) and named for Max Matthews (of Bell Labs). Opcode licensed a version for the Mac, and sells it for US$495. The Mac version is pretty much what everyone uses. It's good for manipulating MIDI any way you want, but don't try using it as a standard sequencer. There is another program called MSP by cycling74 that uses MAX for digital audio. The whole thing has a non-intuitive patch cord interface that go between opcodes, Opcodes can be written and added by anyone in C - and there are tons of them that do pretty much anything.
