  1. Nemo Documents on File Organization — How Do You Do It In 2011? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If you are on Windows you might want to give Nemo Documents a try. It gives a time based view and allows one to use tags. Disclaimer: author posting ;-)

  2. Try YayArt on Computer Art For a CS Dept Office? · · Score: 1

    Not exactly nerdy art, but still digital art created mainly using a computer http://www.yayart.com/

  3. Re:Verilog on What Programming Languages Should You Learn Next? · · Score: 1

    I like your description of the languages but Erlang can not replace either Scheme er Smalltalk. Erlang, while a functional languges, is very primitive. They instead they focus on parallelism rather than macros and continuations. Smalltalk, was that a joke aimed at Armstrong? :-)

  4. Re:Well on Handicapping the 6th Generation iPod · · Score: 1

    Use http://www.rockbox.org/. It plays ogg and flac already on nano's among others. Why wait for Apple?

  5. Re:More format support on Company Solicits Feedback on Next-Gen Recorder · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm pretty sure their new device will support ogg vorbis as they were one of the first companies with an ogg vorbis compatible player (Neuros Audio) back in the day :-)

  6. Re:Hire him on Microsoft Windows Media Player Encryption Hacked · · Score: 1

    Well since DRM is by design broken it wouldn't matter much. More info here: http://www.craphound.com/msftdrm.txt

  8. Re: mirror list on Eclipse 3.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Good it wasn't just me. I even downloaded the RCP version only to found out that it was not the version I needed ;-)

  9. Re:Decoding DivX on DivX 6.0 is Out · · Score: 1

    I hear you. Watching the new fspp filter in MPlayer i simply can't watch a 1 cd rip without it. And this is on my 17" monitor.

  10. Re:The GIMP on Adobe Unveils Open Source Library · · Score: 0, Troll

    It makes it incompatible with GPL just like the original BSD license

  11. ffmpeg on QEMU Accelerator Achieves Near-Native Performance · · Score: 1

    This is Fabrice Bellard of ffmpeg fame. Now I know why he hasn't touched that ffmpeg in a while :)

  12. Re:Unfortunately... on Neuros Audio Releases Its Hardware Schematics · · Score: 1

    The reason why they can't ship it outside the US is because it can do FM transmitting and its illegal in some countries. :-/ I ordered mine to Denmark (Europe) two years ago from some shop that didn't knew about this (or didn't care :)). I can't remember the name of the company, I found it in the neuros forums.

  13. mmsv2 on How Do You Handle Home Media? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Very media centric multimedia system for linux: http://mms.sunsite.dk/

  14. kernel version on Fedora Core Release 3 Released · · Score: 1

    I wonder if there ever was a fedora kernel with version number 2.6.9-1.666 or if they just skipped it >:)

  15. Re:A working wikipedia link for Kademlia on Replacing TCP? · · Score: 1, Redundant

    > Coral is a nice idea with a flawed implementation. Care to explain this flamebait or shall we just leave it at that? :)

  16. Re:Encoded Packets doesn't Solve Problems on Replacing TCP? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sorry this is not correct. Rateless erasure codes is ECC per complete file not per packet. Please read the paper.

  17. Re:A working wikipedia link for Kademlia on Replacing TCP? · · Score: 2, Informative

    The link in the post is coralised. Maybe someone is blocking your outgoing port 8090 for you :-)

  18. Re:I don't need this on Media Center Bathroom Extender · · Score: 1

    Ironic to rate this informative dont you think? :)

  19. Re:3.5-year-old information disclosure and DoS on A Security Bug In Mozilla - The Human Perspective · · Score: 5, Funny

    You could just have written: hypocrite :-)

  20. Re:Crypto on IETF Publishes Jabber/XMPP RFCs · · Score: 1

    More info here: http://gaim-encryption.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html

  21. Re:Crypto on IETF Publishes Jabber/XMPP RFCs · · Score: 1

    Thank you for the informative post. I really would have liked pgp support also. Gaim has an encryption plugin it says it uses NSS 1.0 (never heard of it before) as protocol.

  22. Crypto on IETF Publishes Jabber/XMPP RFCs · · Score: 2, Informative

    Was really excited seing RFC 3923: End-to-End Signing and Object Encryption for the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol. I only thought the jabber people were making rfc's for the basic protocol.

    Sadly I don't think there is any clients supporting it yet?

  23. No. 1 on Gates, Jobs, Torvalds: Who is Most Important? · · Score: 1

    Everyone knows Tux is no. 1 on the list

  24. Re:I'm glad the title says "Digial Music Player" on Big Demand for Digital Music Players · · Score: 1

    Yes you can mount and transfer the files in Linux. The software called positron to do this is in most distributions.

  25. C++ on Searching for the Best Scripting Language · · Score: 2, Funny

    C++ was also praised: "C++ is a fine programming tool for many applications."
