  1. " I wouldnt mind a sleek, black box" on ZapStation Price Cut, Linux-Only Version · · Score: 1

    Well, I've seen so many Box Mods those last month tht really I find this comment Offensive...

    I mean they do their boxes in all colors, laminated, Aluminium, Wood, Clear Plastic, with or without holes, lights, leds, Silent PSU and the whole shebang of infrared or radio remotes.

    And all you can think of is a midsized beige Box ?

    Get some Spray paint.
    Call your younger Brother
    Get fun for 5 minutes and a paper cut model...

    Voila, a large, midsized Pink & Flowery Box ! 8)

    If you have no budget, now is the time to be creative 8)

  2. Been Trying for some time... on ZapStation Price Cut, Linux-Only Version · · Score: 1

    Basically, it's just a box where X is separated into Audio / Video / Internet.

    Mine does that, and is connected on TV, and bloodily runs 98 for 3 years.

    Not the best OS/
    BUT easy to setup.
    Can read my Divxs
    Already has a nice 60 Go of storage and 256Mo Ram.

    Now, what I want is the code and the software used in a bundle.
    THAT would be interesting. I'm not pushing $600 for a C600.
    But I could push 100$ for the software.

  4. Well, it IS a simple if statemement.... on The Poincaré Conjecture has Been Proved · · Score: 1

    You remember the beginning af fractal calculus ?

    At first it was just a way to get infinite zoom.

    Then a way to get pretty pictures.

    Then somebody came up with an idea and found a general equation for simulating the groowing of tree and most plants, aand also an equation to calculate icing rate on a given surface...

    And fractal calculus is just a SIMPLE thing.

    Get some news of the guy who invented a simple yet oversophisticated mathematical programming langage (some time ago on /. don't have it just now)

    What did he do ? he translates everything in his new language, which gives him a usable algo that is quite easy to programm.

    => Statement simplification using a full change of definition sets.

    Just like going from the Greeks math and discovering relativity.

    So, we go from singularity studies to broader and broader concepts, and with the time thoses get more application.

    Just like the guy trying to build a time machine with Lasers.

    the theory is old. But he had the idea of putting it all together.

    Well, usually, the US tend to try to EXPORT their rules, not import them.

    Lets think about it as a normal pendant of the censure they have and a blissfull hope for Free Speech (sic).

    Anyhow, maybe a limitation of email traffic, or better the development of specific rules for "authorized" emails should be developped (such as a small (=>not for security) PGP key that can track your email to a legitimate source, and you will only accept thoses...
