While slightly different, this reminds me of the way I filtered a bunch of images from a video camera. I was taking many frames per second of a thunderstorm and I wanted to find which frames out of thousands contained lightning strikes.
It was pretty simple... Images over a certain size contained lightning, the others were mostly black, therefore smaller. Once I filtered it that way, manually filtering out the better images was easy.
Whether you like XML or not, it's here to stay. It's worth your time to learn how to deal with it.
These days we have zillions of XML parsers to play with, and they make it pretty darn easy. And it sure is nice to know that when a vendor says they'll give you XML, you can read it. Unless that vendor is Microsoft, of course.
That's quite the web page. I like how it compares their notebook to a nonexistent $1799 G4 iBook and a PDA. Sure, the notebook has a 12.1" screen and the PDA does not, but the PDA is a PDA.
Even if it can't still play music, don't you appreciate it as an academic exercise?
Are the people that port NetBSD to ancient and weird hardware also vandals? I mean, no matter how interesting it is, a modern PC running NetBSD is more useful than a MicroVAX II running NetBSD.
This is also just their first attempt. The first version of Minix didn't do a lot either.
I had no idea the Wayback guy was the inventor of WAIS and a co-founder of Thinking Machines. I thought he was just some guy, like all of those other people.
I hate the stupid editorial comments people add when they submit things to Slashdot.
How does a movie studio using open source software benefit anything other than themselves and the open source software?
The submitter seems to allude that using open source software will cause movie studios to stop protecting their intellectual property and let him leech more free movies.
What "open source and Linux issues" do movie studios have?
Slashdot Mirror
Nerds! Nerrds! Nerrrrds!!
I was expecting to see something radical, like proper usability testing.
We used UML and our project is now secure! Go UML!
I'm more interested in testing Rachel 0.1, and to a lesser extent, Monica and Phoebe 0.1.
It's the MS-DOS logo being "drawn." The "burned" part is sketched lines.
This is important stuff to know!
What is misconfigured about her Apache install and how can you tell? Just curious.
Maybe you're thinking of moricons.dll? It's still included with modern versions of Windows. Check out C:\windows\system32\moricons.dll under XP.

Of course, if you like legions of users with 200Mhz Pentiums complaining about how slow your software is, use Java all you want.
If I were to start this project over, I would not be using Java.
Maybe this guy buys a new supercomputer every month, but my Duron at work isn't getting faster any time soon.
How about a card with a Transmeta or similar processor?

Moore's Law doesn't stand a chance!

...some other entity recently chose Oracle over SQL Server. Stop the presses!
So, can I check your sources, or are you the source?
CompUSA makes all of their techs get A+ certified within a certain amount of time, or the tech is gone.
With lots of firepower.
Its eyes should be telescopes! No, periscopes! No, microscopes!
It should be full of surprises.
It should never stop dancing.
It should need accessories.
Part of the problem with IE was the difficulty in removing it from your system.
So how is Phrack more "ascii-based" than, oh, say, Slashdot?
All Hail the Wayback Guy!
Computers are dumb! YEAH!

The C5 looks like the winner!
