i have a LAMP-based server already sitting on the Internet(s), which already does file server-ing through a web interface, mirror pushes, ftp throttling, etc. and i was wondering if anyone knows of a good system for adding torrent to this setup?
we (actually, codemonkey #2) could write some code to integrate torrent.pl, I suppose, but are there other ways? what else in the tools department is good for doing automated torrent seeding, anyone know?
its true... i am a computer geek of 22 years, and i've worked with some of the heaviest metal you can find, in typical commercial server environments (nothing gov't, nothing 'warfare'), and i can say this: pretty much no matter what, software is always gonna suck harder than hardware. always.
we -never- truly optimize our software systems. i have found this to be true after careful observation, over two decades, of over 40 years of computing system operations.
it is always a 'simpler task to just build a better computer' than it is to spend time, finely optimizing our software for our chosen 'run platform'.
with that in mind, i love the fact that we are now building self-optimizing operating systems, openly, among as big an audience as possible.. perhaps those old machines, suddenly powerful-er, will become valuable again, eh?
[at least, thats what i think every day as i pass my ol' BeBox, sitting there all blinky-light, on my way to my chair, desk, and powerbook, heh heh...]
.. it is the 'sound of the magnetism itself', which is to say, the 'out of balance' nature of the two magnetic forces reflective attraction for each other, pitched over time, much as a delay line, while things stabilize and the energy of the initial collision dissipates..
By the time you are old enough to want to make a list of things to tell young people they need to do to be happy, you are too old to relate to any young person in a meaningful or influential way.
this is crap. old people and young people are equally capable of completely ignoring each other, or getting along just fine.
communication between 'media-weaned' generations may 'have difficulties' 'only experts' know about, but that is a weak stack of cards.
find me a 'generation gap', and i'll find you a 3rd-party with a vested interest in 'exploiting the point'.. anyone bringing out that tired, age-old saw, the 'generation gap', is probably yet to come to grips with their own mortality.
Workstations like this are totally inflexible, proprietary solutions that lock you into a single vendor (I find it ironic that Korg refers to this thing as an "Open Architecture" workstation, considering it runs proprietary software and has no published standard for 3rd parties to write extensions).
as a professional synth developer, i can tell you that OASYS is more open than other architectures.. we could write new synths for OASYS customers, and probably would do so... if there were any...
I lived in the States for 15 years, and decided to leave when Bush got elected. I don't believe that Americans are taking any responsibility at all for the actions of their once great but now not-so-great nation, so I'm not going back there again, not for fun, not for business, not for anything. Too bad.
The world is too big and too wonderful to be perpetually doing things the American way. Unfortunately, America doesn't seem to think so, right now. I hope that changes.
on the other hand, i've been to some fat parties around the planet, why can't those ever go down on the long-haul flights, as part of the program? damn!
if there were a 'jet set class' of ticket, i'd buy it, lets just put it that way.. i think it'd be great to party on a plane-ride. its already way fun on trains..
.. welcome our new lobster overlords, and would like to remind them that as a conscientious shellfish-alergist, i have never consumed a member of their species willingly! hail tepis!
.. please start to make these long-haul flights more of a PARTY and less of a cattle-like ordeal?
I've been around the world 3 times, filled 4 passports so far, and I have to say: FLYING STILL SUCKS THE BIG ONE!!
Why can't we have concerts on board these flights, maybe a small club-like atmosphere in the upper decks, make the whole thing a little more interesting.. maybe airline companies could have the "House Flight To Sydney" DJ linueup, or something. Virgin could tie in their rock-star factor and have some *real* entertainment on-board, perhaps?
I dunno.. it just seems like, with these big-ass 800-passenger jumbo jets around, flying on long-haul should be more like Love Boat and less like "School Bus", know what'm sayin, yo?
its awful, really.. to think that this whole thing is rendered useless by a USB-fob and a freebie operating system 'from those commies'..
but, what bothers me most about this is that we are *forever and perpetually* trying to build better client/server computing systems. we want power, but we don't want to be near the computer..
over and over, the same ol' problem. why don't we just make better, smaller, nicer, more comfy computers, and give up this whole 'beigebox' mentality?
why, oh my, i remember my hazeltine-20 really 'pushed the limits of my graphics hardware' at times too, you know, and its only job in life was to serve its giant master..
sheesh. its not as if "hardware is as software does" is an old computing maxim, invented by an '8bit toy computer company'...
and geeze, next thing you know, there'll be someone out there writing operating system code that never uses any hardware at all, wow!
No, its always Starbucks fault. Starbucks, Starbucks, Starbucks.
There, I said it... and now it's the sheeple.
No, its always the sheeple, too. Sheeple Too, Sheeple Too, Sheeple Too!
You're one of them, for instance! Stop drinking consumerican drugs!
You really need to get your story straight.
Sigh, but that I were telling a story, its true.. there were really cool coffeeshops on that block before 3 Starbucks came along, and everyone 'sorta got over coffeeshops'...
Then again, I suppose it's easier to rail against the evil Starbucks than it is to face the fact that not everyone values those precious coffeeshops as much as you.
Oh, but then that must be what makes me special, natürlich!
If they (in your hypothetical little reality) really wanted a cheap cuppa, they would've stayed at the mom-'n-pop stores.
but no, being the consumerican sheep that they were, unable to stifle the urge to follow their favourite Seinfeld/Friends characters lives down the drain, of course they went for the 'shiny' option.
bah! who cares, at least the europeans have sense enough to not get all psycho-hippy-dippy about the starbucks invasion.. ignore them, and they will go away. good riddance, caffeine-borg!
I'm not arguing that, but that's not exactly rape-the-earth, is it?
far as i'm concerned, it is. i mean, i saw them move into a neighborhood i used to live in, in los angeles, and absolutely *demolish* the budding coffeeshop culture that was going on in that 'hood, by franchising *3* starbucks locations within 2 blocks of each other.
that was just sick. sorry, but rampant consumericanism sucks ass.
You're only complaining because we always say your products suck.
Well, since "my" product, as in the one I'm working on here, has yet to ship, I think you're the one who's a little full of himself, Mr. AC.
I've watched the Virus threads over the years, there will always be 'lookwhatigot' types spilling their loins.. its the culture that allows this, though.. and i guess i should just admit that synth culture is as incestuous as any other..
But no -- I've never said anything about the Access line that wasn't told to me at a tradeshow infront of a dozen others or sent to me in an official email. Maybe if I owned one, I'd try to get in someones pants, but this hasn't happened yet:-)
okay, well i apologize. i clearly need to get my sonikmatter personalities straight. there have been threads discussing current product development, though, which have made me literally cringe...
and i know you have a good enough relationship with the marketing folks here to have a 'line' on new details.. its those secret tips from beta testers that never get 'squashed' which irk me most..

.. its computers. anywhere you start to computerize, things get cheaper and more efficient.
to say its 'microsofts fault, specifically', is to say that "computers are as good as they are because IBM made computers".
its true ... i am a computer geek of 22 years, and i've worked with some of the heaviest metal you can find, in typical commercial server environments (nothing gov't, nothing 'warfare'), and i can say this: pretty much no matter what, software is always gonna suck harder than hardware. always.

.. if its to a Dvorak layout, or just simply another keyboard.
... I've had my binges of CT though, I know what works for me ..
The point is: Carpal Tunnel Symptoms? Change your environment.
Just keep doing that - to Dvorak or whatever - and you'll avoid CT.
20 years, programming professional, and still going strong

Gotta love the lip-gloss, too.
Faark. Bill Gates looks good in makeup. I bet he'd look -awesome- in drag.
(Hope I never see those photo's, though...)

Good riddance.

I know, I know, 31.25kb is too slow, but damn I wish MIDI had timestamps, from the get-go .. be perfect, otherwise.
Then why does Debian still include kernel 2.4?
Since when has Debian been the paragon of 'bleeding edge linux distros'?
this proves that HIV is a sub-plot of the NWO lords to reduce the worlds population!!! //////tinfoil..
Crap, make up your mind.
