  1. Re:What about Java? on Live Streaming Video? · · Score: 1

    Here's another I've been testing lately, and also happened to dig into its code: http://www.magicweb.com/demo/demo.html

    Unfortunately, my upstream isn't sufficient (120kb/sec), so I can't exactly describe it actually used over the net, but on the local network, working in win2000 at 333mhz, we got instant streaming, compared to a 5sec lag with real.

    You could still try our feed if it's after 9am est.

    I plan on trying out a few of these after upgrading the internet connection, so email me if you want some updates.

  2. Re:PLEASE focus on functionality! on Interview with Miguel de Icaza · · Score: 1

    "Software like Outlook Express has been free for ages, so that's pretty much the norm (not the exception) for this kind of software."

    Again, the word free shows its ugly head... For many, the source to freedom is the source.

  3. Another universal package manager... on Interview with Miguel de Icaza · · Score: 2

    "Red Carpet is a universal package manager. It has a pluggable architecture for doing package management and to handle dependencies in them."

    It's like they say about standards, with so many to choose from...

  4. more stats on Linux -- Without Unix · · Score: 1

    Total memory on this system: 188 MB

    Memory consumed by this Pliant process: 13 MB

    Memory consumed by other processes and kernel: 32 MB

    Memory still available: 143 MB

    That's the new server actually. So it isn't so bad *hehe*

  5. mirror hebdomadaire on The Top 15 PC Games Of All Time · · Score: 1

    Gamespot.co.uk is a little slow?

    depends on how you set your filters, you know...

  7. mirror here [found the orinal hard to access] on A Year of Linux · · Score: 2

    tiny mirror
    I've cut it in smaller pieces too, instead of the whole 186k html (gee...)

    Hope it helps someone...

  8. /. on Tutoring A Child Prodigy? · · Score: 1

    Like my brothers suggests, the kid should consult this discussion, and take part of any subsequent discussion about his future. I mean, it is his life...

  9. Opera, , icab, gecko (k-meleon) on IE 5.5 Tracking Default Bookmarks · · Score: 1
    One word:
    1. Opera
    2. gecko
    3. icab

    P.S.: anybody knows why k-meleon 0.1 wants to act as a server?

  10. lunatic on IE "Persistence" Tracks Without Warning · · Score: 1
    I found this old little bit just 2 days ago here. Thought I might shed some light on the subject at hand:
    Q: The first document talked about extending standard protocols as a way to "deny OSS projects entry into the market." What does this mean?
    A: To better serve customers, Microsoft needs to innovate above standard protocols. By innovating above the base protocol, we are able to deliver advanced functionality to users. An example of this is adding transactional support for DTC over HTTP. This would be a value-add and would in no way break the standard or undermine the concept of standards, of which Microsoft is a significant supporter. Yet it would allow us to solve a class of problems in value chain integration for our Web-based customers that are not solved by any public standard today.
    must be crazy for quoting m$ here...
  11. Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies on How Much Do Models Influence Our Thinking? · · Score: 1

    I can't understand why the name Douglas Hofstadter doesn't come up more often when there is question of the mind, creativity and models/analogies. Maybe his name's just hard to remember... Also see his book, which I stole to give this post a subject.

  12. Alice, from U of Virginia on Vector Graphics On The Web? · · Score: 1

    I just searched here, and it seems this little plugin got no attention at all from /. yet.

    First, the home page and a little description:

    • Alice is primarily a scripting and prototyping environment for 3D object behavior, not a 3D modeler
    • Alice has been used for a myriad of applications, including interactive games, animations, training simulators, 3D animated technical diagrams, and virtual reality environments using head-mounted display devices. Have you seen or played the "Light Saber Game" yet?

    One last thing: the server was incredibly slow for me, a little patience might help. Here's the google copy just in case.

    PS: this plugin runs on top of Python.

  13. faq on What Happened To Gopher? · · Score: 1

    gopher://mudhoney.micro.umn.edu:70/00/Gopher.FAQ has all the details, and here is a list of a few publicly available servers: consultant.micro.umn.edu ux1.cso.uiuc.edu panda.uiowa.edu gopher.msu.edu gopher.ebone.net gopher.sunet.se info.anu.edu.au tolten.puc.cl gopher.inf.utfsm.cl ecnet.ec gan.ncc.go.jp

  14. Re: Why retrofit these things? on Space Shuttle Displays Go Glass · · Score: 1

    I remember an article about the Hubble Space Telescope being upgraded last year with an Intel 486 processor. Google has a few links, the funny and the seriou s.

    Actually, the huffman link is here but you already figured that...

  16. Re:Apache and Content Negotiation on On Creating Multilingual Web Sites? · · Score: 1

    I, for one, was glad to skip the apache docs, and find a link to the rfc, even as I was exceptionnaly reading all posts > 0 instead of my usual score > 2.

    I don't think my post will get any score, maybe I can take you down with me :)

    Life, to exist... [and I forget the rest]

    Feel free to try it :)

  18. Isn't it already available? on Human Genome To Be Released To Public · · Score: 2

    Not sure if this is the correct url, but I've got 33megs of chromosome 22 sitting on my hd, I was trying to compress it, but I'm not getting better results then if I were compressing random data (does that mean anything?!?).

    For the curious:
    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/seq/page.cgi? F=HsHome.html&ORG=Hs

    I'm running to school, but I'll check the url when I'm back, 9 hours from now or so...
