The band treewave [treewave.com] uses old computers, game consoles and an Epson LQ500 as their instruments. I find it amazing what they can do with old equipment like thi
i catch them live whenever i can here in Dallas. Their cd has a track that you're suppose to record onto tape and use in a c64. It's a snyth. they wrote or something.
Wait, all this...and not a single Kari question?
i think you mean "Scottie question". I mean come on, Scottie can weld! how fricken cool is that? i wonder if she likes perl poems..
oh yeah the interview, nice job guys. Thanks for the thorough answers!
It's been a long time since i've installed linux from scratch so things may have changed but Slackware will always have it's purpose. I understand the reasoning behind dumbing down Linux for the masses since the more users the more relevant and main stream Linux will become. But there will always be the need for a distribution who's purpose is only to provide a framework (scheduler+filesystem+[IP stack]) for services or specialized applications to run on and Slackware is the best way to get there short of building a custom dist. IMO.
Again, it's been maybe 4-5 years since i've installed Linux from scratch rather then recompiling/patching so maybe the modern distributions can be stripped down but in what experience i have with them they're all aimed at setting up a home computer.

1. Apple needs to make a deal with Apple Records to free themselves from any restrictions.
2. Apple starts a "record" company.
3. Apple doesn't screw artists and big names flock to them.
4. Apple uses "pod casts" to replace radio air play to promote new artists.
5. Apple cuts out the middle man so artists and Apple now split the profit so each side makes more money.
It is the end of the world as Warner and Sony knows it... And we all feel fine.
This would be such a dream come true for many people and for so many reasons. Imagine an independent (non-RIAA) label with the distrubution clout and exposure of one the majors. It would revolutionize the "biz".
a "bigger slice of the pie" is a thing of beauty and pleasure to some people. To a lawyer, this "bigger slice" for him/her and their client is a job well done. I have no problems whatsoever with anyone using freely available information, in a legal way, to help them in their jobs.
i wired the power up wrong on an old AT case i was switching out. I plugged it in, turned it on and boom! i've never seen a computer catch fire before. It blew the breaker in the office, blew the insulation off all the wires from the power supply and filled the office with the pleasant smell of an electrical fire.
I had an intern corrupt a very critical database with some bad sql. I was able to recover from backups and a binary log fairly easily but it still made for some frantic moments. I took the blame (she shouldn't have had the access she did) and besides she was already in tears heh.
wait a minute, there's an off-duty now? I thought there was just work-in-office, work-at-home, work-in-bar, and work-in-sleep (yes i've actually drempt about programming)
So you think it is OK to pay $4.99 to download a 130 minute movie that you can then watch as often as you want? Weird.
I would expect a different pricing model, similar to the iTMS "books-on-tape", where the cost appears to be a function of the length of the book.
well i can pay 0.99 for a song regardless of its length and listen to it as much as i want. Is there a difference?
the mail is what keeps me from using netflix. i know it sounds lazy but having to wait for the movies to arrive and then send them back is such a hassle.
ideally i'd like to get movies through itunes, pay something reasonable like $4.99 for _just_ the movie no special stuff. IMO that would be as good a deal as the.99 per song thing.
my C programming prof in college told us he would fail anyone who dared use a "goto" in any program during his class. I could tell he was serious because hte more he talked about it the angrier he got. It got to the point to where he was basically yelling at the class about how we better not use a goto. He was an industry guy turned prof so I guess he must have had a bad experience or something.
If Apple and Nokia are going to put together something that fills a niche, and does it well/better than anything else out there, why must that be considered part of some "anti-Microsoft ecosystem?" How about it's just "better," and people will use it or not?
I wish i had mod points cause i'd mod you up. How is OSS anti-microsoft? It's just a different way of building software that microsoft currenly isn't involved much in. Also, how exactly does an OSS browser tie Nokia to Linux?
I do not wish vi to be seen so close to emacs lest someone think they are together. vi wouldn't be caught dead with the likes of emacs... the after prom party doesn't count there had been much drinking
i got a powerbook because of 2 reasons. I needed a laptop and osx is based somewhat on BSD. I have the terminal where all my familiar utils live ( I'm an engineer and use linux at work) and a nice interface for all the gui inclined applications plus it's stable,fast, and secure. Since then, I have bought an airport express to stream music to my sterio and an ipod mini (my car got broken into and my radio stolen so instead of replacing it i just got an ipod). It never ceases to amaze me how apple products JustWork(tm) with each other. I'm fighting the urge to buy a mac mini and complete my transformation to apple fanboydem.
I suppose i'm apple's wet dream of a customer:shrug: they shouldn't make such good products then maybe i wouldn't buy them.
I hope the pebble bed design gets a lot of press and becomes a comfortable term for the general public. It really is a nifty design. I would go a step further and get rid of the term "reactor" and call it a pebble bed heat generator.. or something like that to further distance it from traditional nuclear reactors in the public's mind.
for bittorent or at the very least the multicast features in routers...has multicast caught on yet? seems like i remember reading it was starting to back when i was in college and gave a shit about the future
The mindset that porting open source software to proprietary operating systems is Bad(tm) is rediculous.You can't give something wings then chain it to the nest.
I'm all for fast cool stuff, and technical gadgetry, but anyone know of any practical uses for this? I mean, wouldn't it run into the same sonic boom issues as the concorde? Perhaps even worse?
This would make an incredibly formidable cruise missile. You could launch it basically from anywhere in the world and it would arrive on target within a couple of hours. No near-deployment required.. you could launch it from your backyard in Nebraska. I'm all for peace, smiles and sunshine but the military uses for this are incredible.

I hope to basically run a small data center in my basement.
don't you mean your mom's basement?
congrats to all involved, another chapter in space exploration has been opened.
