Yeah, I heard about that also.. Bostream are providing 26/26 Mbps, 13/13 Mbps or 8/1 Mbps (down/up) depending on how far you are from the closest "station" (word?) for $40/month.. 26/26 if you are closer than 300m, 13/13 if you are 300-1km and 8/1 if you are 1km+ away.. I called Bostream and they said my new apartment (which I'm moving to 2nd july) is about 1.3km away so I will only get 8/1 Mbps... But it's still better than the only (=next best) alternative in that house.. Sucky UPC with 1.5Mbps/738Kbps for the same price, so I ordered Bostream anyway!;)
I haven't coded neither Java or C# much, but I know the basics for both of them. C# to me seems a bit clearer and easier to get a hang on than Java. I also like the fact that I can code in C#, Smalltalk, Eiffel, ilasm (yeah right;)) or some other language, and if a Visual Basic programmer want to use my classes (s)he can just use them, like they were native classes.. No modifications needed. No wrappers needed. I haven't done any testing on raw performance, but I have noticed that running "mono app.exe" starts the app almost as fast as a native app while Java takes WAY more time to start up.. Also, Java seems to have much more RAM overhead..
This whole SCO-thing reminds me of an old Gary Larson strip where a cowboy in a gunfight is told something like "If you get shot, don't just die! Be dramatic! Jump around screaming or something, then die!"
Not long ago (a year or two), a US dollar cost almost 11 SEK (swedish krona). Earlier this week I saw it was down to 7,76 SEK. I think that's a bigger reason the world is turning to Euro than anything else. The US dollar's value is sinking like Titanic while the Euro is pretty stable...
I love Eiffel, it's a beautiful language! The only problem is that because almost nobody else uses it, I can't use it either because I have to stay compatible with others.. I wish the smarteiffel-programmers will make it a full CLR-language so I can use.NET-classes and make my Eiffel-classes usable by others...
I know that, but the BitTorrent-technology maybe could be modified to be used for streaming? It would be cool to be able to run a high quality radiostation with 10000+ listeners from a single ISDN line..:)
No, it's more like I download some songs I want from the net and let others download them from me in return. Then RIAA break into my computer and start deleting stuff and DOSing me so I can't use my computer.
You can't compare the two things. Nothing was taken away, just duplicated.
Because assert()s are ugly, clutters the code and it can introduce nasty bugs. That's besides the fact that it doesn't feel "natural" to add it.. Consider this stupid example:
int x=2; assert( x=1 ); if( x==1 ) printf("x is 1\n"); else printf("x is not 1\n");
With debugging turned on it would write "x is 1" and with debugging turned off it would write "x is not 1". Yes, it's a very stupid example, but it proves that the code can behave differently in debugging/non-debugging modes. Not good.
Real DBC could be implemented in other languages using a preprocessor though, but I've yet to see it implemented. (I admit I haven't looked very hard)
Then what about Runaway: A Road Adventure released this week? Runaway is one of the games with the most preorders in a long time.. And what about Lucasarts releasing sequels to Sam'n'Max and Full Throttle?
The game I've really been waiting for is The Last Ninja 4! What's really cool about it is that the developers have been very active in Last Ninja fan-forums, asking fans of the classic Last Ninja 1-3 games questions how they should do this or that to keep the wonderful feeling of the old games. It's been in development since 1999 and the current planned releasedate is set to "end of 2003". Their attitude is also "if it doesn't have the same state-of-the-art gameplay and atmosphere (compared to today's games) as The Last Ninja 1 when it was released in 1986, we won't release it."

OSS isn't even a part of Linux. That's a part of Enlightenment. And there is no video display code in either FreeBSD's or Linux's kernel. You don't actually know what you are talking about, do you?
I was going to put a comment here, but I think it's unneccessary.;-)

You do realize that a NIC can have more than one IP, right? :)

I have 10 Mbps/10 Mbps uncapped for $36/month here in Sweden. I do somewhere around 10 GB a day...

Why not just use SVG?

Could the BitTorrent protocol be used for things like streaming radio and TV?
No, I'm not! (28th december 2000)
I tried an alpha of this "OS" for the first time about 3 years ago and it was called Athene/Athena already back then. So no.
I meant that he could choose one or more, not neccesarily all of them. :)

Join a programming project. Create something you can show when you're looking for a new job.
If you're single or polyamourous, now is the best time to start clubbing and have some fun while you can!
Sit in front of the TV all day eating pizza with extra cheese and drink diet coke.
Find a new job.
The new grub bootloader is actaully a operating system in it's own right!
:) But it still doesn't know how to boot a friggin CD... Even LILO can do that...
Yes, almost.
I remember seing a story about a playable violin that was only a few molecules long a few years ago.. Can anyone find the URL?
No, it's more like I download some songs I want from the net and let others download them from me in return.

Most women will say it's not the size, but what you do with it that counts, anyhow.
...and most men will say it's the inside that matters.
Don't believe everything people say!
