I'm getting broadband from Bredbandsbolaget next week (hopefully)!! They said it would be ready in June, then in July, then in August, then in September, and now, in October, they are FINALLY ready!!! Last monday (oct 8th) I ordered and they said it will take 5-10 workingdays. So maybe I'll get it sometime around christmas...:)
And yes, all of you US citizens, it's 10mbps for $30/month!:)
I use an experimental version off libvorbis by Gian-Carlo, that he released on the vorbis mailinglists. His mode will probably be in RC3. The sound is absolutly perfect, I have not yet found a single file that I can differ from the original, and I have more than 10000 OGGs (600 cds) ripped with that mode. Some songs have an average as low as 80kbps (speech) and some (The Clash - Guns Of Brixton) need 220kbps. Average average is ~165kbps. I often see peeks at 600+ kbps when that is needed not to compromise soundquality!
Also, I've written some wrappers to oggenc in Python for use with Grip. The wrapper takes about all available info it can from Grip, and I can add more information in the Album-field enclosed within {}. For example "The Fragile {2CD,1,Left}", which will put the tags "ALBUM=The Fragile", "DISCTYPE=2CD", "DISCNUMBER=1", "DISCNAME=Left". It also adds additional tags like RIPTIME, and more. Then I have other wrappers to easily set/remove/edit tags, rename files (and put in proper directories) according to the tags, put the files in a database, etc etc...
Try doing that with MP3!:-)
Gian-Carlo's libvorbis can be found at http://sjeng.sourceforge.net/ftp/vorbis/ and it is enabled in ogg123 by using "999" as bitrate.
What if it was a white christian who were behind the bombings, would you say "Kill all christians", "Kill all whites", "Nuke USA/Europe" etc?
As much as I hate the terrorists and killing of innocent, I don't find it very hard to understand that people get mad at a self-proclaimed world-police who enters almost every conflict there is, choose the side that benefits them most and drop tons of missiles at the other part.
You can't imagine how poor the people in many countries are! Of course they look jealously at WTC, the biggest symbol of capitalism and wealth in the world...
Amiga-E rocked hard! I loved that language!! It is by far the nicest language I've ever coded in! And I've tried most of them...:) For example Photogenics is (was) written 100% in E with some inline assembly... It was (is?) a fully compiled language as fast as C and the compiler could compile 100000 lines of code in just about 3-5 seconds (!!!) on a 14Mhz M68020 processor !! I think that is because all include-files were pre-compiled.. I'd love to see an implementation of AmigaE in the GNU Compiler Collection!:-)
I don't want to fall into the old "there's been nothing good released since 198x" cliche, but there actually is some truth to it.
Actually there IS a LOT of good punkrock released since then! You just have to know where to find it! If you go to a (underground) punkconcert and look through the records that old fat punkrocker in the corner is selling you will find LOADS of really great punk/Oi! music released even in the year 2001! The way to find todays good punkrecords is by asking people that you know have a taste similar to yours!
Last weekend I went to Holidays In The Sun festival in Morcambe/England (I'm from Sweden) and although there were lots of old bands playing (Antinowhere League, Cockney Rejects, Exploited, Cock Sparrer, Subhumans, The Damned, Stiff Little Fingers, Sham 69, Partisans, The Blood, The Crack, Menace, Splodgenessabounds, Business, UK Subs, Vice Squad, Special Duties, GBH, 999, Dickies, Peter & the test tube babies, Varukers, Red Alert, Lurkers, Vibrators, One Way System etc etc etc), there were also a lot of younger bands! And thousands and thousands of punkrockers! Todays punkscene is HUGE! And the best thing is that it is back to being underground again!
I really hope you get out a beta with a working installer soon! I want to try it out as soon as possible! But because I only have a 33k6 connection at home I need an ISO first...
I have a Matrox Mystique 220 PCI and I'm still happy with that. I don't care much about 3D performance, please compare the 2D performance of the cards also!
Is there yet a distrobution for Alpha that doesn't freeze every X hours? I've tried Debian Woody+Sid, Red Hat 7.0, SuSE 7.0, FreeBSD 4.3rc2 and NetBSD 1.5. All of them freeze after 30 mins to 12 hours of normal desktop usage. If I run a gfx-intensive application (for example aviplay) remote from my PC, it freezes right away! The keyboard stops responding completly (not even the LEDs change when I press capslock) and I have to press the reset button...:(
I have a DEC PWS433a with 2MB Cache, 128mb RAM and a Matrox Mystique card (My PowerStorm 4d60t is only supported by Tru64 and NT, not XFree86;-p ).
Tru64 runs fine on it, so it's not the hardware that is buggy!

No, I don't wish my next door was drinking pee and fucking dogs...
Maybe if she could take a big fist up her arse though....

WTF?! It doesn't work??!
I'm no terrorist sympathiziser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kill the damn terrorists but DON'T LET MORE INNOCENT PEOPLE DIE!!!
That we got a new Pearl Harbour is enough, we don't need a new Hiroshima also!
11. Kill all narrow-minded idiots.

Since 8-bit computers are still in use today we can't just expect all 32bit computers to be gone by 2038!

But there still is a $10000 fee that has to be paid by someone...

What?! Pearl Jam don't rock anymore? Hell, they rocked 9 persons to DEATH on the Roskilde festival in Denmark last summer!
Thank's for the effort!
XMMS and MySQL just to name a few... There are quite a lot! :)

As a matter of fact, they really are concerned about security! :)

I have hardware fullscreen anti-aliasing built into my old 20" monitor!
Think about all the candybars you could buy for $60 billion...
Wow, that was almost embarassing to read :-)
I've goot zillions of terabytes of harddisk, formatted with journaling-FAT16 my Commodore Plus/4.
Nah, you have to use ACE to be cool these days ;-p
