  1. Re:It was a matter of time. on Running A Web Server On An Apple Lisa 2 · · Score: 1

    Lisa? MAC SE?!

    Of course your modern day super computers can handle a web server. OTOH, it's only recently that web server technology has filtered down to the humble computers that people can actually afford to buy.

    (Check the link, yes it's a C=64...) I guess the poor machine will be slashdotted to hell even though this is a late entry in an old thread. So, a short summary:

    c64.cc65.org is a web server hosted on a C=64 connected by SLIP through a serial cartidge to a Linux computer (which in its turn is connected through ADSL). The IPstack and all processing is on the C=64. The C=64 has not been expanded in any way, save for the IO cartridge (SwiftLink 38400bps serial).

    The page is small, but there is a few images on it... The server was created by Adam Dunkels as a part of his uIP TCP/IP stack for the C=64.

    Yadda, yadda...
    Because they don't understand, on the fundamental level that Americans do, what a FREE market is, and what it does for the people who succeed in it.

    Hmmm.... It makes them into egomaniacal bow-before-my-might-puny-mortals, all-your-base-are-belong-to-us billionears like Bill Gates ;-) ?

    Oh, and lets not forget what a FREE market does to those that don't succeed so well in it... The USA has one of the largest precentages of homeless of the first world countries.

  3. Re:About the graphics... on Review: Final Fantasy X · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I know the problem...

    Unfortunately I don't know the proper name for it. I DO know the name
    of the remedy, though: "Anisotropic texture filtering". It's all about
    polygons at an acute angle away from/towards the screen.

    Normal mip-mapping will select a texture resolution compatible with
    the center point of the polygon, but if the polygon 'tilts to much'
    in/out of the screen, the extreme points (the remote one at any rate!)
    will get a mip-mapping level unsuitable to the true resolution need at
    this distance.

    Bring in anisotropic texure filtering, that attempts to do
    smoothings-corrections based upon true distance...

    Or whatever :-) This is just my best understanding :-)

  4. Re:You humans are a disease. on African animals to roam Australia ? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, yeah, mister copyright breaking movie quoter...
    That sounded stupid even in The Matrix, which has to be the most
    stupid movie ever made. Perhaps you where just trying to make an
    intelligent, humoristic remark, I can't tell. I just think you're an
    idiot.

    -3 redundant

    No tigers in Africa, Einstein, eh... L. F. Baum.

    Wait... Hey! That's a great idea! Let's take endangered spieces from Africa, India and Australia, import them into a reserve on neutral territory - say South America - and let them duke it out!

    Your stupid, ethno-centric site does not allow Latin1 in user names, much less UniCode
