  1. Totally offtopic on Star Wars TV Show, And An Unmade Trilogy · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    But is slashdot selling spamming services? There's this big ad that says "Web-Hosting with Email marketing", emphasis mine.

    Mod me down.

    You mean Bochs or QEMU right? Because Plex86 is virtualization for x86,and this thing has an XScale processor.

  4. Re:why? on GmailFS - The Google File System · · Score: 3, Funny

    Theres lots of things wrong with the filesystems availible for Windows and Linux, I'm sure. But even if that was a reason for this, this doesn't fix it. (Since it's just a Unix like FS that happens to use GMail as the storage device as opposed to a physical drive). I'm sure the coder didn't say to himself, "You know what's wrong with file-systems today? They aren't implemented as a slow screen-scrapping interface to webmail!". It was probably more along the lines of "Crap, I only have enough HDD space left for some Python scripts and FUSE...hmm GMail gives me a gig..."

    Awesome! Now I am glad I took German in HS too.

  6. Re:This is good but i think its also redundent. on AOL Dialer for Linux · · Score: 1

    Fine, dandy, my point is that the dialer software which is story is about is for AOL's regular dialup, not their DSL.

    nasty USB modem? Methinks you are confused. This is not about AOL's Broadband but their regualar dialup service. (You know, the one that uses a plain old modem and a phone line?)

    So what, the companies pushing this stuff aren't the ones buying the cache, its the poor consumers. This kind of setup is "better" than Palladium could ever be.

    Ok, I admit it, I am being really ridiculous. I'll take off the tin-foil hat now ;)

  11. Re:Crucial difference that would aid pirates on TransGaming Tagging Downloads to Combat Piracy · · Score: 1

    Actually what I am suggesting would be more along the lines of network addressable memory. Instructions would go straight from the NIC to the processor. Ultimate control.

  12. Re:This kind of setup would totally SuX11 on TransGaming Tagging Downloads to Combat Piracy · · Score: 1

    But it has to get from the HDD to the RAM anyway, and that's not any faster than the speed of light, slower in fact. It wouldn't be that much harder to run a game from a network (if bandwidth is "free") then off your HDD. Its definitely doable.

    In Soviet East Germany, Meta-Tags outlaw you!

  14. Re:Gosling, Java? Hmmm..... on Gosling on Computing · · Score: 1

    Ok, but C++ templates aren't really generics either. They are basically sophisticated macros that look like generics, which has the side effect of allowing them to do all sorts of weird, powerful things. But it has downsides as well. Some more info

    Where did you get PHP from? It was CPython vs. Parrot Python. (well a translator that turns python bytecodes into parrot byte codes anyway)

  21. Re:PHP is "ServerSide" on PHP 5.0 Goes For Microsoft's ASP-dot-Net · · Score: 1

    Oh I see what you are saying. In that case, I would point you to something like the GTK bindings for PHP. Ther are some example DB apps here. For a GUI builder you can use Glade, the PHP-GTK site has some tools to allow PHP to use Glade files.

  22. Re:PHP is "ServerSide" on PHP 5.0 Goes For Microsoft's ASP-dot-Net · · Score: 1

    Well if by "client-side" you mean stand alone (where stand-alone means still requires the php interpreter) applications that don't run on a webserver, the answer is yes. You can even make GUIs using PHP-GTK.

    As for "web based front-ends to popular database backends" take a look at phpMyAdmin
