too bad this won't pass any Host: information in the HTTP header, hence anything based on a virtual host will be unreachable through pure IP address. You will have to perform a bit more hacking to do that, and it won't defeat deep packet inspection filters.
If I understand correctly your comment, I agree, but would you count on it? Low probabilities are meaningful (intended, able to make a difference in the macroscopic world) only on large ensembles, and only if even small events can have a disrupting (macroscopically) result.
So, if you believe that the probability of god existence is very low, but you still believe in one, it means that a lot of potential gods have been "refused" by some criterium to become gods, meaning that you reformulate the previous layout
Nothing -> an insane amount of potential gods -> god -> universe -> life
Yes, it's an assumption which has a strong basis in mathematics. If you overparametrize a problem, you can always find a better agreement with the data, but what you are representing with this higher degrees of freedom is experimental error, or statistical variability. As a result, your model does not represent reality, but instead overrepresent it with unnecessary description of noise, which has no correlation with the event under observation.
PS3 is dead even before hitting the market. There's no "most wanted" games, no price slicing, no Blue-Ray, no "it's-not-a-console-it's-a-computer".
PS3 is too expensive, the performances are worse than xbox360, there's no cool factor, there's no service, and they are real assholes totally stomping the buyer-rights and the "do-no-harm" philosophy.
And while i'm writing it, I'm really, really angry, because in just 2 years of bad technological choices, Sony is beaten to death by Microsoft, a company producing 20 years of bad technology, harming buyers and competitors, and stomping rights with niceties like DRM, proprietary formats, abuse of monopoly.
Even if they had priced the PlayStation 3 at $59 instead of $599, I wouldn't have bought one. I still have not forgiven them for installing rootkits on all of my boxen, thus 0wning my boxen. It just goes to show: "0wn me and I won't 0wn your stuff."
So for this reason I hope you are not going to buy something from who installs a spyware in your boxen.
I thank you for the great comment, and I hope someone is going to moderate you to five. I also have the same problem to the back, and I spent a lot of money with doctors with no results.
Would you please be so glad to tell me more details about the stretching you perform?
Ok, but at the end you can convert an rgb color to a cmyk color. If you perform the transformation "badly", you'll obtain a let's say orange which is not the same on screen and on printer. However, even working in cmyk you have the same problem. The screen will not be able to express that color with a given cmyk, and they will look different...
this is what i don't get, simply because i don't know the problem in detail.
Not to be a Redmond basher (well... I am).... but are they going to produce something innovative sometimes? Because it seems that microsoft shut down the R&D department so long ago. Or maybe they never had one... Probably they have a C&P department... who knows?
ok ok... I saw much better, but also much worse. Her eyes are really beautiful, though.

Well, imho she is not that bad, and you should consider that:
1) you don't see the body 2) the photo is BW 3) the photo is small 4) the photo is crappy 5) there are people that appear not so good in photo but they are pretty in real life. 6) and most important, a girl can be gorgeous in her ideas and behavior, and you evaluate more and more this point of view as you get older.
HOWEVER, as lot has happened in the last 6 years. Right now I am running SymplyMEPIS-3.4.3 with KDE 3.50 on my Gateway m675prr laptop. KDE 3.5 is, IMO, more powerful, flexible and easier to use than Microsoft's aging XP.
no, it isn't. Let's look at KDE alone, disregarding all the complications due to the distro fascism. KDE is utterly complicated, overpersonalizable, at the point that when you have to set something, you spend a considerable amount of time looking for the desired option diluited in a mayhem of totally confusing and mostly unused configuration options. As an old time linux user (from KDE1.0 beta4) now mac user, i totally hate this "you can configure anything" approach, because what you obtain is only an, almost highly personalizable, mess.
From some of the previews I've read of VISTA, it seems to me that KDE 3.5 or the soon to be released KDE 4.0 will give VISTA a good match, especially for basic office uses.
No. I've seen vista in action, and althogh i don't know the details, the graphic engine and polished look is way over KDE. probably it's an issue of X, i can agree, but the face of the desktop and the cleanness of the interface is no longer an option. is a must. I cannot accept to be forced, in 2006, to remove antialiasing because antialiased fonts are drawn in a so crappy way to become almost unreadable. And i'm talking about a new gentoo installation.
As to when "it" will happen, don't be suprised if "it" blindsides both you and Microsoft. It is easy to keep track of Windows or Mac OS installs because of the retail channel count. No one is tracking how many times any Linux distro is downloaded
As high can this number actually is, it's nothing compared to a steady 1% monthly gain of market share for windows XP. This trend was plotted both by google zeitgeist (before the shutdown of this statistic) and now by w3schools. And we are talking of approximated global market share.
So, even if you install 10 linux boxes per day, you have to consider that:
1) they are _nothing_ from a numerical point of view to the massive market share of win platforms, and even to the daily computer sale, even in a small reality (if compared to the world) like your city. 2) how many of these boxes actually will retain a linux configuration? i brought so many people to linux, and a lot of them went back to windows because they were unable to use it even for the simplest tasks. 3) for each box, you eventually paid an OEM windows license, so even if you hurt them in the market share, you don't hurt them in the wallet.

yes.

In fact, Creation vision
Nothing -> God -> universe -> life
Big Bang/Evolutionary vision:
Nothing -> universe -> life
So, according to Occam's razor, the second option is the one that should be chosen, requiring less assumptions.

Yeah! How dare they put public footage into a format that only 100 million computers would be able to instantly watch. Asshats.
whom a large percentage is zombified by the same format vulnerabilities.
According to Cornell's lawyers, the DMCA was not a concern because navigation data is not, and cannot be, copyrighted.

Maybe for you in USA there isn't, ask any gaming Japanese and I'm sure they will think different.
I'm european, and PS2 owner.
"no Blue-Ray"
What? Are you only trolling?
All my no's are meant as arguments for buying a PS3.
We don't know that yet do we? If it comes with Linux and you can start up a desktop it is, isn't it?
Totally unuseful. Especially if they rewrap an ubuntu or such, given they have the usability of Win2.0
It probably have better hardware than the X360, it's backward compatible I think which means it has a shitload of games
backward compatibility is ok, but it will fade out as PS3 games are way more nice and appealing.
it's price aren't much over X360 premium and I think online gaming is free, you get a next-gen DVD-player and a real HDMI-output.
I still have to see a HDMI enabled TV around.
Says random dude on the Internet?
It doesn't really matter. The final appearence of the games is the same of 360, with a price almost three times more.
PS3 is dead even before hitting the market. There's no "most wanted" games, no price slicing, no Blue-Ray, no "it's-not-a-console-it's-a-computer".

Anyone can explain me why the four color management is so important?
go technical, I'm not scared.

Why did I buy 4? Well, the first one was great, but I lost it after only 2 days
awww... I can feel the pain... given they were not really cheap...

How could the delay of PS3 hurt the current gentoo?

Is a gentoo porting for PS3 planned ?
heh
