  1. Re:Networked File systems on High Performance Diskless Linux At AX-Div, LLNL · · Score: 1

    I think the parent post was refering to redundancy. You know. Like when you take a plane and don't expect it to crash?

  2. Available by mail in Montreal, Quebec, Canda on A Monocultural Alternative: TheOpenCD · · Score: 1

    Like the suject says, OpenCD v1.2, 5$ my mail anywhere in Canada.

    Nattor, the Little CD Vendor catalog

  3. Re:mirrors on A Monocultural Alternative: TheOpenCD · · Score: 1

    oups, I forgot this list of mirrors, but I'm not sure how current it is:

  4. mirrors on A Monocultural Alternative: TheOpenCD · · Score: 2, Informative
    Here are a few mirrors: http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/gd.tuwien.ac.at/pc/O penCD/ ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/gd.tuwien.ac.at/pc/Op enCD/

    I've verified it's the newer version, dating yesterday.

  5. Re:Pretty boneheaded move on Red Hat's part on Universities Dispute with Red Hat over 'Fedora' · · Score: 1

    RedFedora reminds me too much of Red Barchetta by Rush.

  6. Re:mirror on Universities Dispute with Red Hat over 'Fedora' · · Score: 1

    Ok, so it didn't get slashdotted. Good for them :) When I saw the page the first time, it was a little slow, but it picked up steam now. Anyway, my mirror is smaller and doesn't have weird ms tags in its html. It also doesn't cause tidy to segfault...

  7. mirror on Universities Dispute with Red Hat over 'Fedora' · · Score: 1, Informative

    In case it gets slashdotted: mirror

  8. cool application for GA on Genetic Algorithms and Compiler Optimizations · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This is a very neat application of genetic algoriths! Haven't seen something so interesting since this Tron cycle game.

  9. any other uses at that price on SliMP3 Successor; Radio Station in a Box · · Score: 1

    I'm an IleSansFil volunteer and was just wondering if there are any other uses for this "cheap" box.

  10. robots in 3D on Epson Creates Tiny Flying Robot · · Score: 1

    ... because robots in 2 dimensions are so much easier to deal with :)

  11. quantum teleportation != Propulsion breakthroughs on Technological Flights Of Fancy That Fizzled · · Score: 2, Funny

    quantum teleportation != Propulsion breakthroughs

    Seriously, it has nothing to do with propulsion, Mr. Boyle. <grin>We'll have to wait another lightyear at least to see better propulsion.</grin>

  12. Popular Mechanics on Technological Flights Of Fancy That Fizzled · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What a great choice for a picture :)

    I remember seeing ads for flying cars (well, was it really a car) in that magasine over 15 years ago.

  13. http://www.rekallrevealed.org/ on Rekall Now Available Under GPL · · Score: 1
    I was there 30 minutes ago, everything was fine. Then, 10 minutes later, it's like the website's plug was pulled. It was a revelation! The website was recalled. Weird thing is, I'm not sure what led me there in the first place... http://www.totalrekall.co.uk/ might have had something to do with it.

    I'm tired, pardon my franch.

  14. Re:nitpick on UK Becomes Sixth Country to Implement EUCD · · Score: 1

    hum, actually, this article (no, not this) is sitting in "your rights online" (yro) subdomain, so I was picking for nothing. Scuse my nose!

  15. nitpick on UK Becomes Sixth Country to Implement EUCD · · Score: 1

    Of course I'm nitpicking, but shouldn't this really belong in "The Courts" and not "The Internet" - just like the story below on mp3s?

  16. Re:The game of Go ? on Kasparov Wins Game 3 Against X3D Fritz · · Score: 1

    You probably want to play again real people: http://www.pandanet.co.jp/English/ for the most popular game server. If you really want to play against a computer, mail me and I'll see what I can do :)

  17. Re:It's not like I rode the Short Bus to school on Kasparov Wins Game 3 Against X3D Fritz · · Score: 1

    Let's call that arithmetic game "Numbo". Now imagine playing that against a computer? How much fun can it be? Of course, you think, it's unfair! The computer is much better equipped to do simple (and quite complicated) math, so it could brute force it's way faster then you could pick up a pen.

    Well, that's exactly what Daniel Defays did in 1986. But he didn't program the computer "as" a computer to brute force results. Even 17 years ago it was obvious and not too interesting.

    If you want more info, here's a bibiographical note refering to a most interesting book on AI.

  18. Re:How to beat someone in 3 moves... on Kasparov Wins Game 3 Against X3D Fritz · · Score: 1

    Hum... that actually tells more about his opponent then your dad's genius.

    Hum, you got me thinking... what about a pool player?

  21. Re:Zope wins twice on Winners of O'Reilly's COMDEX Contest Anounced · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Actually, if the CMF was considered, zope would win 3 times. Wait, if python was considered, it would have won 4 times! Incredible!

  22. Re:for Real? on Feature-Length Matrix Spoof to be Released Soon · · Score: 2, Informative

    Real => Helix

    Guess that wasn't too obvious :)

  23. for Real? on Feature-Length Matrix Spoof to be Released Soon · · Score: 1

    That name is sure going to cause problems... Helix / Matrix, I don't really see the connection anyway.

  24. Kylix doesn't sell?? on Kylix in Limbo · · Score: 2, Informative

    IgD writes:

    "Why didn't Kylix sell?"

    I didn't see a trace of that in either the article or the blog...

    Then in the blog:

    "Simon did come out and flatly said there were no plans to update Kylix in 2004 [...] Simon was clear that Kylix has not been abandoned..."

    So no, it hasn't really been abandoned. It's just Borlands usual way of releasing stuff.

  25. A challenge? on Bluetooth Shipments Exceed 1M per Week · · Score: 3, Interesting
    "Even critics would be hard-pressed to name any other wireless communications technology that managed to achieve the volumes and diversity of deployment of Bluetooth in just six years."

    Anybody feels like taking this challenge?
