IANAN (I Am Not A Neurologist)
To put it graphically, the notion of reading thoughts from an EEG is comparable to trying to know what people are doing in a city only by looking at how many lights are on at any given time.
The link to the review is for a previous model, the DPEN-R700, the article refers to the RC800, which seems to be far more capable than its predecessor.
IANAL but let me clarify what the AC is trying to say: You do not need to agree to the GPL in order to use software licensed under the GPL.
If you do not accept the GPL you are bound by copyright law, no EULAs no TOS no contracts, plain old Copyright law. Since no license has been granted to you for distribution you cannot legally make copies of the software to sell or even give away, you might be also restricted from modifying the software. On the other hand you may use the software as you please, even for purposes contrary to the ideals of Free Software, as long as you do not distribute it.
For the FSF the right to use a program for any purpose in any manner you like is the zeroth right, the most fundamental.
The GPL while saying nothing about how you may use the program grants you certain rights to modify and distribute software under certain conditions.
It is very odd that many GPLd programs under MS Windows force the user to agree to the GPL during installation, probably using a template on the installer where an EULA or disclaimer of warranty should be. This creates the mistaken notion on some people that the GPL does indeed pose restrictions on the installation and/or use of the software.
While awkward to pronounce, calling the OS GNU/Linux creates a way to diferentiate the kernel from the OS. I'll be the first to admit that GNU/Linux is a toungue-twister but it helps avoid confusion.
OK, it seems that having a gmail account is a must-have for any self-respecting basement-dwelling geek so if you have any left please send it to xybeneedsagmailaccount@fastmail.fm
That would be really cool, If you have any left send it to xybeneedsagmailaccount@fastmail.fm
It's not that I NEED it, just that it would be really neat to get one.:)
From their site:
NoMachine has developed exclusive X protocol compression techniques and an integrated set of proxy agents that make it possible to run complete remote desktop sessions, even at full screen, using narrowband Internet connections, at speeds as low as those offered by a 9600 band modem.
They use X at the base and add further compression and network optimization. In fact they make it work on top of VNC and RDP
I just recently did this when my brother asked for a site, he was running for president of a vasrity association, I used a basic bluerobot.com 3 column css design and did the whole thing in raw html and css. It drove me nuts when he requested extra pages and I had to modify every page's navigation bar. What I did was install php cg in my WinXP machine and use simple includes, in the form
htmlcode blah blah blah
<?php require(navbar.inc.php); ?> bl ah blah blah
If you want your site to be XHTML you will have to disable the short tags in the php.ini configuration file (I don'remember exactly how at the moment), otherwise the php parser will go nut with the xml tags.
the site's draft will be up for a few days at this very linkrottable place. It was a quick and dirty job but it looked quite nice and most of the pages were XHTML 1.1 standards compliant.
(my brother lost the election though)
So, in conclusion, if you have a win machine get yourself a copy of html-kit, and topstyle (free beer both) and install php cgi but don't configure it for any server, create php files and run the command line: c:\path\to\php.exe c:\path\to\phpfile.php > c:\path\to\resultingfile.html. I had a batch file that did this for all the files in the site. Then upload the html files. All the php parsing is done on your computer so you will be uploading plain html.
How about k3b?
It burns DVDs and CD-R/RW and has evolved quite a bit since the last time I used it, no weird configurations or root privileges required
in mandrake type as root: urpmi k3b
A less elegant alternative would be to use one of the seveal multimedia oriented linux distributions. Geexbox is about 4 megs and intended to be included in the media containing the multimeida files.
Granted it takes more than 8 sec to boot but it has 0 cost and can be used on any moderately standard x86 hardware
This is truly a great chance to let users of other OSs take linux for a ride, especially since Mandrake is quite user-friendly. If a user decides to install Linux on the HD, mandrake is quite newbie-friendly, pity that the current version seems to have quirky HD installer.
This is too much, moderators should at least follow the links, lest they mod informatice a site about the most venerable sex toy ever created thinking it is a decelopment platform
On the bright side, this probably disprove any previous notions that./ readers watch too much porn, anyone who know his porn would have known better
Too bad most people believe Internet is just the WWW. As bad as this might be, it is not a question of wether it will happen, just when.
I can imagine the reps at the ISPs saying that "those ports are only used by pornographers and pirates" as a cheap copout.
Just my.02
If you burn no media into the images, the drive ejects after boot, everything is loaded into memory.
Yes, you could argue that you need a machine with at least 64Mb of RAM, but as long as you have that in a machine with a DVD it can boot from, you can use GeexBox.
In Fact Movix is too big to fit with other media on a CD so it expects that you will eject the disc and put something into it.
Geexbox can, it requires only 4Mb of diskspace so you copy your movies/music to a folder(1) and run a batch file(2) and end up with an iso image you can burn with Nero(3) or something like that.

Not too shabby
It could be argued that it jumps FROM the GROUND to THE SKY although it is too fast to actually see the bolt traveling.
