  1. Re:Icecast is great on Icecast 2.0 Released · · Score: -1, Redundant
    Icecast FAQ

    What is Icecast?

    Icecast, the project, is a collection of programs and libraries for streaming audio over the Internet. This includes:

    icecast, a program that streams audio data to listeners

    libshout, a library for communicating with Icecast servers

    IceS, a program that sends audio data to Icecast servers

    What is icecast, the program?

    icecast streams audio to listeners, and is compatible with Nullsoft's Shoutcast.

    What is libshout?

    From the README:

    libshout is a library for communicating with and sending data to an icecast server. It handles the socket connection, the timing of the data, and prevents bad data from getting to the icecast server.

    What is IceS?

    IceS is a program that sends audio data to an icecast server to broadcast to clients. IceS can either read audio data from disk, such as from Ogg Vorbis files, or sample live audio from a sound card and encode it on the fly.

  2. The joke he could not tell... on So You Think Physics is Funny? · · Score: 5, Funny
    Alice and Bob go into this bar. It's late at night and they're drunk. They get a drink each and go off into their corner. They start gettinging a bit frisky, and kissing and canoodleing. The barman isn't too happy, but seeing as they're such good customers, he lets it slide. Before too long, though, they're both naked, and getting down to it.

    The barman covers his eyes, trying not to look. As he sneaks a glimpse through his fingers, he sees something wierd - he can't make out what they're doing. He looks again, but is still confused. He turns to the drunk propping up the bar next to him, and asks, "What's going on? He seems to be screwing her over the table AND getting a blowjob at the same time. That doesn't make any sense. Looks brilliant though, doesn't it?"

    "Yeh," sighs the drunk whistfully, "It's a super position."

  8. Off topic on iTunes for Windows Reviews · · Score: 1

    Has anyone else noticed that there are a lot less +5 comments recently? Did the powers that be change the amount of moderation points that they hand out or is the quality of comments going down?

  9. Re:Send the article to your conngress man on E-voting Patches Skew Election? · · Score: 1

    The cool thing about the EFF system is you can delete their stock message and write what ever you want. It is much more effective if you write your own anyway. Use the EFF's form but change the text to say you want a bill without the "Mandatory Surprise Recounts" they don't know if you don't speak up!

  10. Send the article to your conngress man on E-voting Patches Skew Election? · · Score: 1

    EFF's Action center will help you send this info to your congress man. Cut the link to the article and past it to their form. You don't even need to pay them anything to use the service (free registration required). But if you fee strongly about this issue they could really use your donations.

  11. Re:It lost one of it's best features: on Handspring Treo 600 Finally Available · · Score: 1
    Love the 300 flip cover and too cheap for the 600 but I would consider upgrading to the 600 for free email and the ability to toggle between more than one webpage (read one page while another is loading) does anyone know if email costs extra? Can you load more than one page at a time?

    I currently use yahoo's wap mail (who says wap is dead?) but the limit of 150 characters per page drives me crazy. Any 300 users have some tips?

  14. GPS on Electronics & Planes Don't Mix? · · Score: 1

    I was surprised to learn that they (Delta, South West and probably others) do allow you to use a GPS on the plane. You just about have to hold it up to the window seat for it to work but it is really cool to just check where you are at or how far away you are from the destination (you can also see speed and altitude).

  16. GPS on Using GPS To Prevent Train Crashes In India · · Score: 5, Informative

    The reason that GPS is not used in the US for trains more is because many times tracks run right next to each other and sometimes trains run on the right and other times on the left. GPS is not accurate enough to tell what track the train is on.

    Prohibition? I thought every good nerd made ethanol at least once.

    If you decide to make a still be sure the steam line doesn't get clogged or it will blow up.

    I wish we had the Internet when I went to HS. I had to do my still building research in the public library and cut the only recipe I could find down from 500 galloons to 5. The hardest part was figuring out how many cups were in a bushel of corn and how much yeast was in a puck.
