Erm, I was in the group that was talking to ESR at a Denny's in Lathrop, when make infocom (our original idea, before we realized infocom might not like it) was born, at least in the idea. Look out for Chuck, or the killer rabbit... so many things we talked about there, guess I better see what he created from all the idea that were thrown out...
Why are we trying to cram effective text input onto a cell phone, PDA, MP3 player, or similiar devices? I can see the use, but I see it as more useful if we have a bluetooth or similiar system, where the cpu/main unit can be 1 inch square, and you can use mini/full size/whatever input device via short range wireless link? Added advantage is share phone books, etc, a good thing betewwn phone and pda.. that way, I can carry one keyboard for my cell phone and pda... it'd be nice to see something like that. I know, bluetooth, but I don't see it as useful yet..
While it'd be nice if gimp used mosix (I wish i could confirm/deny) it seems more useful if blender could use it... Having only two boxes, no way i can test is here unfortunatly.
If you're like me and are just now starting to use reiserfs, they you might not have the tools to make, check, etc, the filesystem, and they *don't* come in the kernel patch. But seeing as it recommends that you use utils that match your version of reiserfs (3.6.25 in 2.4.1) then here are the recommended utils from namesys for 2.4.1 kernel.
I like the idea, but unless the system can print out a 2404 form of similiar, it's not gonna fly, as maintence will demand the right paperwork:) Be even nicer if it can sign/date the form, hm, I do hope they've already considered this... a vehicle that does it's own paperwork would be a truly useful thing to have. Take it from a driver of such vehicles:)
Correct me if i'm wrong but current handhelp GPS technology does not allow you to determine your exact position due to military restrictions. This is accomplished by not giving the real algorithm that the GPS satelites run off of but a inexact version thereof.
No problem. It's not a different algorithm, but not giving an exact timing. It was called SA (Selective Availibity) and it basiclly made the time recieved from the sats a bit random. Seeing as the sats/reciever depend on timing to get position, IIRC, you had up to 100m epe (estimated position error) on a civilian gps unit. Two ways to bypass this: Get a differintal GPS, basicly two recievers in one unit, and average your location, so to speak. Or get the encrypted miliary band, via military reciever, which broadcasts the corrections to cancel out SA.
BTW, SA has been off for the better part of this year, so my handheld garmin gets accuracy near that of a military handheld unit. Thou differential units found in aircraft are still more accurate.:)
Is there a common thread besides MySQL? First thing i'd try is see if the majority of people on the mailing list having that problem are running linux/*BSD/some other os, might be an OS DB deal. If that doesn't provide any answers, I'd change DB's.
Disclaimer: I don't know DB's well, but I know troubleshooting. You didn't say os, and knowing only hardware, just putting out random (hopefully helpful) ideas.
I know a few people who seem to read/. often from a local LUG. IMHO, better to seek out a group you're interested in then make a group based off a website. Just my.02$, thou.
While I prefer to edit by hand myself, Webmin says it supports Freebsd, openBSD, BSDI, possibly others, I just took a quick look at their supported os list. Might wanna post a positive/negative review here depending on your opinion of it, so people like me might consider it when needing to admin lots of boxen.:)
Reading the interview, they say they want to take the server market over from sun, imply they want the desktop market from MS, etc. What they really see, imho, is selling computers and making as much as possible, they're a business, after all. So they say linux can do desktops, partner for support or provide their own support, and the chicken and egg problem half solves itself, with linux desktops in shiny TV commericals. Poof, linux has major vendor backing, and their vison works. I'd really not be suprised if it works out this way.
Myself, I'd not mind as long as they charge less for a linux install than for a win98 install, and have options like order 1 year phone support plan or just a cheapbytes cd shipped with the box. Myself, I don't want or need linux support that way, i can get any info I need from the net. So please make it an option, Dell.
Actually, they seem to have partially joined ICQ to AIM at some point. Why else can I log into AIM, which I just started using recently, using my ICQ uin/password? I think a better way to say it is they'll never join them in a way that doesn't help them.
Yes, we need new TLD's faster than ICANN seems to be moving. Yes, Us should use.us and the soccer team should've been content with their.br domain.
Enter realistic life. I'm working on a website for a company. The company is non-us based, but if all goes well it will attract business from all over the world. I'm not going to register the name in.us,.cx,.uk, etc. So it's a.com. It could be whatever else was the defacto business domain, as it's a business. But it's going to be one thing, just one name, country neutral.
Do we need DNS changed? yes. Should country codes matter much? No. Do I know what it will change into? Nope, I'm just along for the ride.
The title kinda says it all, who wants to find a pay phone these days? Thou it might spur a comeback of bag-type car phones, remote antenna plugins, things in general to keep delicate human brain tissue away from rads. I know my dad is worried enough about that kinda thing that he uses a crappy sounding speakerphone adaptor, making his PCS phone sound perfectly analog.
Summary of rambelings: It'll cause changes, but cell phones are here to stay. But who doesn't know that?
I turn beam recieve off. Might save a bit of power, disarms this kind of thing, and also, as someone esle noted, you have to confirm installing what was beamed over under plamos..
Thou this reminds me of something, a UF cartoon, where Stef shows up a some kind of computer show with super-powered IR sender to beam ads to many, many people.. talk about spam.:)
Disclaimer: I'm not an astronomer, thou I do have a bit of a background in physics, thou not a great memory.
If my memory serves, IO doesn't have enough of an atmosphere to make sure it burn itself to a crisp. Europa may, I don't live there so I can't say for sure.:) Same logic applies to the other moons/natural sats around Jupiter. But Jupiter, say what you will about it, but it's got atmosphere. Virtually guarenteed to destroy any contaminates coming in, along with the craft before it hits anything solid, IMHO.
If we can properly simulate the beginnings of FUSION, that could be an important step towards commercially viable fusion power plants! Cheap, clean, unlimited energy... worthy goal, I would think.
Very worthy, seeing as the Pentium 6's and the K9's are gonna need a fusion power supply just to boot, and we won't even talk about those in SMP...:)
I've come up with/been inspired with an idea to "encrypt" virtually any data, being near totally unbreakable unless you torture the sender/recivier of that data. It's not pad/block based, it can be used with or without a computer, and the numerics/codes it uses are unbreakable by brute force, look random, yet they're not random or patterned.
Can answer simple questions, but going to hold off on full blown explanition until mid-week when I have full sample code/implememtation. It's not a hard system, just no time this weekend. Watch my site for more info as the week goes on, if you're interested.
This reminds me of RC car days, when you carried 3+ crystal sets on you so you could change freqs that your servo/transmitter used. If someone else had your same freq at a race, and neither of you had spare cyrstals, SOL to one of you..
Same thing here, pretty much. A (semi-)open band, and people are gonna use it for pretty much everything they can. History repeats itself as always, go figure. Wish I knew more regs on this so I could say how things are supposed to be.
Harry from Silent Hill never even had a rocket launcher, IIRC, he was barely accurate with the pistol Sybil gave him, and only with the laser-guided infinite ammo weapon was he really a good shot..
Erm, sorry for the off-topic rant. Guess my point is, never give a reporter missing a daughter a big weapon like that.:)
Anyone try getting the gnu installer version? I grabbed it, and put up with the slow-updating scroll bars, only to have it seg fault before it was finished setting up fully, couldn't make it run at all. rm -rf'd it, and am grabbing the plain tar'd deal now. have gtk 1.2.8, and also got gtk critical errors before seg fault. Anyone have a clue on this deal? in too deep with o2 and map sensors to look it up much myself now.
Thou I try to avoid liscense talk as much as possible, you can also use BSD liscensed code. If the purpose is learning base solutions to specific types of problems, either type of code should do, as long as you're not copying blocks of code as prevouly noted.:)
BTW, to tell the truth, I'm not really picky or religilous about liscenses, I just use what's right for the job.

First of all, I didn't pay for any microsoft product, and I've run 95, 98, NT, and a few others. Why? Because I only use them for other people, so other people provide them to me so I can do what they ask. But will I pay for products? Just ask the makers of Onmiremote and numerous palmOS apps. They've got my money, because I *wanted* them and they made a good product. In the case of the "Evil Empire", they don't provide me with both what I want and a good product, but they usually have one or the other. So I'll buy from people who meet both of those criteria, and I'd give a long list of apps if I actually felt I needed to, to prove my point.
You're right, piracy happens. But people on/. are the minority, and if some of them pirate software, I'm sure it's nowhere near as many as your neighbor Frank who gives a copy of Office 2000 to his friend Joe because joe wanted it. So please don't blame a small online group that they're at fault, when the problem is a whole lot bigger and probably a whole lot more widespread in a group that can't really be easily addressed.
More and more I think the DOJ isn't needed in light of how MS, and others, are doing things on their own. Windows has a reputation, one that it well deserves, be it from clueless users or shoddy software, of breaking and needing reinstall to fix problems. Sure shipping a recovery only disk or a crippled install disk isn't all bad by itself, but I'll bet ya the full uncrippled retail version of windows rises from this decision. In a similiar vein, the DMCA will die on it's own when people think it's too restrictive. and say "We want to own out software and not have it shut down remotly because of trivial things." People are a powerful force when pushed too far, and will fix problems on their own at that point. I, for one, think that when the time is right people in general will do something that's good for them. If what's done is good in the long run is a totally seperate rant, but I guess I'm just saying "Let it be" and let companies/people who screw themselves over get what they desereve.
All I did is run getty to ttyS1 (where my palm is) and run a palm telnet app on the PDA, login just like a dumb terminal except dumb terminals don't have graffiti.:) login in as root, kill X, whatever ya want to do. Also came in handy for me when SVGAlib froze my console playing quake2. Not sure how this can work with the Ti, but if it has a telnet app and a serial cable of some sort, it might work.
I got tired of reinstalling lilo, I've been doing this at least 1.5 years. Don't know if it's necessary, or even possibly wrong, but all I do is set lilo to install in hda? (linux part), make that partation active, and make sure i pass table=/dev/hda
in lilo.conf. Always worked, and getting lilo back is as simple as fdisk in any os. Duel booted nt/95/98/etc this way
