  1. Re:hacker definition on Stallman/Torvalds Story, definition of 'Hacker' · · Score: 1

    When I was 12 years old, I got a 16K RAM extension to my Zx81. However, it turned off the 1KRAM that was already present. So I cut the PCB and rewired it including adding some off-PCB chips to put the 1K RAM at 8192-8192+1K which was unused. I put the fast-tape-loader in there because the "OS" didn't reset that part of RAM when restarted (through my own added reset-button). Does that qualify me for the term "hacker" :)

    Hey, cmdr taco & friends, can we start a ZX81 and ZX spectrum hardware hackz thread ;)

    Too bad they forgot about ISDN. Sure, in the USA almost nobody has ISDN, but in Europe most people who would like to get ADSL currently have ISDN. If they just changed a few of the frequencies in the spec, ISDN and G.lite could be carried over the same copper as well, but they didn't. So G.lite will probably fail in Europe. See also Orckit .

  5. Re:Linux IS mentioned... on Digital VCRs · · Score: 1

    A friend of mine works at Deltabeta and they have been doing this stuff with PC hardware for years now. They can send up to 6 or 7 MPEG streams over 1 100Mbit network, and each segment is continously repeated. The receivers buffer the movie you're watching and so all receivers can be in different parts of the 6 or 7 movies simultaneously. All this with a simple pentium and 2.5" IDE disk... he even had a Linux implementation at some point.
