But isn't this what TCP/IP multicast was invented for? I've never really understood why multicast has never really taken off. Too complicated? Instead of entering an rss server to pull from just join a multicast group and have the RSS blasted once every X minutes. Servers could even send out updates more often because there are only a few connections to send to. Of course I could be completely wrong and multicast may be the absolute wrong choice for this sort of application, it's been a while since I've read any documentation about it.
I'm thinking I'm going to build one of these. I think one could eliminate the pully slippage problem and aleviate the need for weights with the use of a simple coil spring attached to the pully arm and a spool for the string to wind and unwind from.
Just because you take a different view doesn't mean you're necessarily nuts. There are a lot of people who challenge the Holocaust, at least some of the validity of the history we learn. I'm not one of those BTW, I've never seen any credible evidence contrary to what I've learned, although I think a lot of the rank and file German officers didn't have much of a clue as to the magnitude of what was happening. I do believe that we are always presented with a far from acurate picture of history. Stalin killed ~27 MILLION people, 4.5 times the amount Hitler killed and we don't have a/. axiom about him yet. History is in the eye of the beholder, and like it or not what you think you know about what happened is not the truth.
This is an email. It is the electronic equivalent of a POSTCARD. It has been split up into hundreds or thousands packets and blasted throughout the globe. Logged, scanned, filtered, parsed, grepped and heuristically analyzed by countless computers as well as humans. I wear a shirt that says "I read your email." If you for one moment think, believe, hold notion, or otherwise have the slightest inclination that anything you send via email is confidential you are an idiot. If you for one moment think, believe, hold notion, or otherwise have the slightest inclination that anything you send via email is only being read by the intended reciepients you are an idiot. If you have read this far you are an idiot.
The only problem that I've had is that it looked like one of the magnets was seperating from the disc before I put it in. I just pushed it back up into it's slot and it's worked great since then.
Funny you should ask, I tried to install an HEI ignition but it wouldn't fit because of the dual carb manifold. With a normal dual plane manifold the HEI fits fine. What I did get is a converter from Pertronix called the Ignitor II that basically converts your points distributor to an electronic ignition. It's a five minute job and it works great.
That bring a smile to my face first thing in the morning. I can't wait for my "HYBRID1" plates to arrive for my 63 Pontiac with a 400 and dual Edelbrock carbs:)
What do you prefer? BMW?? Mercedes?? Please, both of these nameplates have evolved into uninteresting German versions of Toyota, complete with the same sick fetish for the SUV scourge. At least VW keeps it interesting, when was the last time BMW or MB developed an engine that was this innovative? 1001 HP from a 7L engine in a passenger car? That's a BMW wet dream, they can't even keep their F1 from blowing up. The Maybach, yeah, that's all the world needs another Bentley.
I for one am glad to see a car manufacturer other than Ferrari developing interesting automobiles. Hopefully this technology will trickle down into the VW's and Audis of the future.

All of the XML stuff has changed as well, I found that out while going through the Core PHP, which has been *cough* updated *cough* to cover PHP5. They forgot to mention that they were talking August 2003 PHP5, AKA PHP5 before libxml2.
The nice thing is that it nearly completely models the functions listed in the w3c recomendation for the DOM Level 3 Core, which are also nearly identical to the XML::LibXML module in Perl.
Yes we know, and as Canadians you are far superior to the rest of the world in everything else you do. A perfect example is the superior way that you point out how superior you are to every one else.
In Canada we don't need elections because we all agree that Canada is superior, and anyone who believes otherwise must be a facist American.
Sorry, for the rant, I'm married into a family of Canadians, actually ex Canadians, and they agree with me.
$_ ~= s/Canadians/Canadiens/g if $province eq 'Quebec';
You could probably make a case for substituting Quebec for Canada as a whole too, but I wont go there.
It needs to happen on both ends. I have a Dish system, and for the most part I love it, but I really have paying ~60 bucks a month for the "100" channel package when 75 of those channels are either Home Shopping crap, or spanish/mexican/illegal immigrant crap et al. I don't watch either type or programming, which of course doesn't mean that other people don't watch it. If no one watched it, it wouldn't be on, what bugs me is that I have to pay for it. I agree that channel bundling is crap, but Dish and DirecTV need to stop with the practice as much as Viacom, Disney and Time Warner. Of course all of the really stupid networks like "QVC for narcoleptic hemopheliacs" and "Oh! my God this station blows" would go under because NOT ENOUGH people want their content, but I really don't care, they can cry me a river right after the guy who invented the solar flashlight is done.
Good work, I was just about to post the same thing my self. An interesting search is this one site:nightsurf.com It looks like the dealcode paramater is the affiliate, for lack of a better term, who nightsurf is paying. Bomis is some kind of bogus search engine, and any key word that is listed on the google search in Bomis gives you a very similar page to the one search.msn.com gives you for the XFree86 result.
Something very fishy is going on as it looks like there has to be some sort of agreement for nightsurf to like a specific query. Changing the dealcode to msn on one of the Bomis search strings redirects you to the dealcode=other site and porn is only for grownups warning.
Heh, I beat your Zork post by 5 minutes. What I find very strange is that someone else somehow thought to put Zork and SNM in the same post. Strange, very strange.

Way OT, but the last time there was a Google flame thread on/. I found this site Search Guild that has a directory of all kinds of search engines. Some work better than others, most suck, but the most interesting one that I found was Kartoo a flash based search engine. As much as I loathe flash, this site is pretty cool. A search for putty on the World Wide Web, brings up a page with several page icons and some words. The chiark.greenend... site is linked to the words source and free, clicking on either searches within your results. Thus clicking on source brings a page of links to the source code of putty and some source packages that reference it. It's a little slow to use, definately not as fast as Google, but a cool idea none the less. Something like this will be schweet once SVG is supported natively by real browsers.
Not sure why, but I submitted the exact same story only with more info this morning. Oh well:) The radio station that I listen to has been reporting all day about the problems with the Diebold machines. Entire polling places were shut down in San Diego county this morning due to technical problems.
A reporter for KFI named Eric Leonard has done a series of reports on the problems that California has been having with Diebold. Ranging from legislators and state employees working for both the State and Diebold at the same time (conflict of interest anyone?) to Diebold refusing to release the raw data from the machines claiming that it's proprietary technology. My guess is that they have GPLed or OSS code in there that they don't want anyone looking at.
I'm in favor of electronic voting, but this is rediculous, handing control of one of the most important aspects of our "democratic" process over to a company that runs Windows XP on ATMs!
Hopefully this will be a wakeup call for the powers that be that maybe OSS voting technology is not such a bad thing after all.
I'm really not trying to flame here, honestly, but if the above is taken as an axiom, or even a good rule of thumb, what exactly is evidence of absence? Is it proving that if something, Y, did/does happen/exist that could not possibly happen if X happened/existed?
Just curious, that seems like a very far reaching stipulation to me.
