    Good reply, too many people have very strange idea's about what we believe

    Could some one talk them into branching out here, in Australia we could really do with an ISP thats both good and big enough to whip Telstra's sorry ass, so far the only big foreign mobs have been the likes of AOL (== Altogether Overated Losers I think). :-D

    Telstra === local ex national telco, still near monopoly.

  4. Re:"Damn, I left that on my roommate's desk" on 'Storage' to Replace Traditional Filesystems? · · Score: 1

    I'd have to go along with you, I think this has some utility, and could lead to some nice add on's the the desktop, but basically it's a dead end. A saner approch would be to icorporate alternate indexing/navigating schemes into the filesystem, it sounds dangerously like their going at this rather too fast too, they should prove it works first, else this could kill gnome :-( .

    I noticed that sig too, odd really, I'd use my last dying breath differently: I'd use it to kill the bastards. :-D

  12. Re:Truth Tables * n? on Beyond Binary Computing? · · Score: 1
    But arithmetic and other operations wouldn't have to be based around binary logic; it seems like the circuits might get horribly difficult to reason about, but with decent computerised tools that's hardly a problem...

    You aren't a maths grad right?, anyone whose done boolean algebra, (from the maths end), knows that boolean algebra on anything other than a power of 2 is not just hard, it's nonsense, if you use anything other than 2^n for some n = 1, 2, 3, ... you can throw out all the boolean stuff.

    So since the first link was talking about ternary, makes this all a little silly, yes you could build such a machine, but good bye all the good stuff, it's not worth it, if there's any point to going multi-value (maybe there is), then it should be a power of 2, i.e. 2, 4, 8, ..., .

  14. Re:this is news?? on Perfect Pitch for Those Without It · · Score: 1
    I think if fans knew just how awful most performers are without the technology, they'd wonder why the engineers name isn't on the front of the album!

    Man you really don't know what your on about, I've done a bit of sound at my church, I was taught by professionals and one thing they drummed into me is, you cannot make bad sound, sound good, you can make ok sound better, good sound some what better, and Brilliant show it's true value. Sound engineers are awesome, but their not magicians.

    Still I'm not sure of the value of autotuners, I'd say that they'd need to be aweful close to on pitch, or the results are going to be awful, imagine if the nearest notes are the wrong ones etc, Uhhggg, better to get it right without this.

  19. Re:Uhm, right... on Microsoft Code at Fault for Half of all Windows Crashes · · Score: 1
    Like that idiotic your program has executed an illegal instruction crap, as a poor sod who's made a living, coding for M$ boxes for years, I can tell you none of my code could ever have done any such thing, but I still got that message a lot, why? easy the M$ crap system got confused in side a system call I called, and thought it was running user space code when it was running system code, so crash goes the program.

    In Unix/linux terms M$ oses lose track of whether they are in user or kernel mode all the time. how can that happen?, only one way, if the os is a bug ridden heap of total crap.

    So the long and the short of it is that over 90% of program crashes, and buggy behaviour of programs on windows is caused by their totally incompent os coding.

    ok so I pulled the 90% out of my Ass, but so did they, the one difference is my 90% is close to right, whereas theirs is a complete lie.

    The day I ever write another program for a M$ OS, will be the day after hell freezes over, I'd rather starve, I raise one finger in salute to you Bill Bastard Gates (you did know Bastard was his middle name :-) )

  23. Re:The speculations just keep getting wilder... on Iceman Otzi was a Fighter · · Score: 1
    Then somebody grabbed samples of 5000 old turd from his anus and discovered spring pollen. So the next theory I believe was that he got into a fight, someone/s beat the shit out of him breaking his ribs and he fled into the mountains, collapsed and died of shock.

    Hang on if they got a turd sample from his anus, how can you claim he hat the shit beat out of him? :-),

    Hmmm, said little Johnny archeologists get to mess with 5000 year old turds, and interfere with the private area's of long dead folk, I KNOW!, ... "I want to be an archeologist when I grow up!!". :-)
