When i threw in my scsi drive for the first time, i left the case off, and when I went to switch bays the next day it almost burnt my fingers. i did nothing but move the drive, throw on the case, and add a few (8 more fans), and voilla!
the poster mentioned nothing regarding reliability.
the fact that scsi-cdr, scsi-cdrw is hard to find, is not applicable. we're talking about hard drives, scsi is a great system interface for exchanging information. it is reliable (arguably way more so then ide), and it is fast (also, faster than ide).
first, imma go by lisitng the versions of some popular software packages that slackware is shipping with, then i'll do the same for debian... are you ready... okay - here comes the slackware listing...
fuck. a'ite. i take this back... what the hell happened? i thought debian most mostly outdated? it's more recent than freakin' slack!... hm... okay, well, that said... i don't like their.. um... logo. yeah! that's right, their logo sucks. hehehehehe..... (whatever).
sorry dude, debian is not outdated. I stand corrected.
America's Most Wanted is by far the most evil of all media incarnations! That show peoples fear of all dangerious felons, murderers, rapists, etc...
...and remember America, if you see Jon Katz please consider him to be armed with missinformatin, statements full of buzz words such as globalism and post-911 and dangerous!
I'm sorry, but refferring to chomsky everytime there's a debate regarding the media just doesn't cut it... so many times I've seen first year university students portray the behavious of the "how do you like them apples?" attitude of Good Will Hunting that it sickens me.
Yes, chomsky has some amazing insights, stats, etc... into modern media but he isn't the answer, solution, nor effect of what's happened site media corporatization (is that a word?).
mc is a good read, and I would recommend it to everyone, but even manufacturing consent was manufactured...
That internet access was simply unrestricted. I mean, I don't care if I have to pay twice as much for my cable modem and broadband internet access -- just don't restrict my usage!!!
I wish at work, where we have a very fat pipe I could SSH over port 22! Instead of having to run sshd off a port which can be access through our LAN firewall.
I know that at work they're paying me, whereas at home I'm paying Rogers... But why the heck can't I just use what I'm paying for the way it's designed to work... It's ludicrous that I'm not allowed to run any servers from my home PC, or that I can't utilize more than a certian amount of bandwidth -- or that I can't uncap my cable modem (which *I* purchased!). The early days of broadband where one could get away with nearly anything are long gone -- these days i'm lucky that they haven't determined that I'm running sshd off that odd port and cancelled my service!
Well firstoff I'd like to commend Carmack on his choice to utilize the new OpenGL extensions -- I think this is the absolute best thing for graphic cards to be focusing on. It levels the playing field and doesn't favour certain chipset manufacturers with propietary extensions.
Also, what are the (linux ported) open sourced applications (read: games) which use OpenGL for rendering?
Are they common? Would this possibly mean that a future port of Doom3 would be (more) easily done once the game is finished?
Also, does anyone know if there will be a supported version of Doom3 for Linux, or will we be relying on ported versions? If the latter is true, didn't Loki games file for Ch. 11? If they did, what is the likely hood of another company/group making the transistion. By the time Doom3 comes out I'll prolly buy a brand new system, and if I could throw linux on that brand new hardware and still play Doom3, well heck - that would be peachy:)

This sure as hell isn't going to be available for my cell phone!
Also, it's sad to see Romero focus on cell phones games... I used to think he was (and probably still is -- one of the most talented game programmers around)
My personal thoughts on this issue are that sure it's a great idea in principle... But I remember when the nokia's started shipping with snake on them, I would see people sitting down at the food courts in malls, at parties, at school in the halls, all playing snake (/w sound effects on!), and it looked pathetic.
No one really *needs* to play games on their cell phone. Also, no one needs a cell phone in their tooth, nor do they need an optical laser mouse, nor a really cheap digital camera built in!
Since when did cell phones become the utility tool of the businessman? Find the right tool for the job! My cell phone will never offer as good a gaming experience as my PC/Console system, nor take a better digital picture than my kodak digital camera, nor... well... okay -- i currently don't have anything built into my teeth besides fillings -- but dammit that's crossing the line!
Cell phones used to be about calling people and being able to get help when the car broke down, etc... Trully -- it's sad to think how consumer oriented this society has become -- every clammoring to get the latest gadget and gizmo on the market. I for one am not buying another cell phone, until mine stops working the way it was designed to.
"...computer animation should be performed, maybe even improvised, live by motion captured voice actors."
Computer graphics and rendered animation isn't replacing live human actors. If motion capturing and voice over is used you're still going to see the actor/actresses unique style in the finished product... I'm picturing some of the characters in Shrek/Toy Story(2), and how they were obviously very digital, besides of course the voice overs... If motion capturing is used, the emphasis will be squarely back on the actor animating the character. If Jim Carey was the actor behind a character in one of these new mtion captured productions he would be instantly recongnizable because he is such an animated person to begin with, and if the digital character is animated by his motion captured movements and vocalized by his voice overs it's would be 100% classic Carey, and wouldn't come close to putting human actors out of work -- if anything this would force the actors to develop new strenghts and talents to make their animated characters -- which *they* animate through motion capture suits, come to life!
competition is spurring innovation, and creating something that will be a benifit to the end us^H^H^H er.... wait a minute... this won't benifit those who streaming, just who server up the stream... d'oh!
"Wouldn't moving the software for streaming onto the router make for a more expensive router and still require the expense a box outside of the router anyway?"
Spam is not noise, it's unsolicited mail. Was there anything in the above that actually made sense? Just becase this idiot is attempting to sound smart -> and owning the nick 'physics genius' at the same time does not make this dude deserve +4.
I disagree wholeheartedly.

I got this sick feeling of joy, and the hairs on the back of my stood up... Maps to the companies which send out spam?
I'm driving to each and every one of em, and hurling bricks through their windows...
shesh, I dont think anyone needs live feeds of me operating my laser controlled cell phone with my tongue all while making plans for which pubs we'll be visiting that evening. that's too 'geek' for me... but it would be hillarious!
Sorry I wasn't able to post sooner regarding this story, but I got home from school, and all my computer shit was confiscated! I had to go next door just to check my e-mail!
This blows, and shit -- is my friends cable internet connection really this slow?
But I have almost total faith, that something as simple as a sharpie pen will defeat the application certification mentioned in the articlem, and MS's billions spent on research will have been wasted.
Slashdot Mirror
The only thing that is news in that article to me was that a) steonography is being used, and b) the hidden messages will be encrypted.
So, basically the author had to paste together some code for a front end gui that manages the stenographic encoding with the key based encryption.
I don't even see how this is going to change anthing or be relevant to those indivuals who use combinations of both at present time.
Although, I can see myself downloading this when it's released so I can send a test out. But c'mon...
Why, yes they are!
Thanks for asking!
very very *very* insightful.
