Nice job, the scrolling really got better. still no java though, thats the only thing preventing me from using it as my main browser, so I guess I'm still stuck with my old, buggy netscape 4.x
I suppose you put a lot of work and money into it...
They could exploit it commercially until they have a pretty penny (a couple of million for the researchers + enough to cover the expenses) and then release it to the public. (this should not take too long if the technology catches on)
That way they get rewarded for their work and the public would be happy too! ---
This made my day, kudos to the GNOME guys!. I really can't wait until they release the stable 1.2 !! GNOME is really better to use than e.g. the windows GUI, I especially love the large launchers on the panel.
taking the real DeCSS and change 1 character from each file so it won't compile anymore. will the MPAA be able to sue if the program does not compile and therefor is not working ??? ---
Yes, it was great wasn't it, I had a b/w and a color monitor, the games were great, the apps even better. GFA basic was lightning fast (it even allowed you to include binary(executable) code into your program (so you could write parts of your app in assembler and parts in GFA basic. It was even possible to make a sort of 'LAN' via the MIDI ports (sloooow!, but coooool!) the OS was great too, completely in ROM, boot the graphical OS in seconds with no discs in the drive. apps were really small too (the GUI part used ROM routines) so my 30MB harddrive never got full!
You now have the chance to experience the stability of the windows on your unix machine! just execute the following shell-script as root ---- while true; do kill -9 $RANDOM sleep 60m; done;
Has anyone built one out of the previous 'release' ? how difficult is it ?
I find this idea of 'open hardware' really cool, it seems like the logicall next step, after open source software. there are lots of professionals programmers working on OSS , sure there must be lots of professional hardware developers around with too much free time:-)
eeh... you can encode mp3's with a 4.77 Mhz 8088 just fine, it takes a bit of time, but it can be done, so requiring a P233 is BS. I know lots of people encoding with less than a P233. ---
I don't know about linux hackers, but I guess some developers working for a certain company located in redmond are on drugs. There is lots of evidence for that: - They think they can take over the world - They are not in touch with reality - "now, was I programming a word processor or a 3D shoot-em-up game, er... , what the heck, lets make both in one app!" - Customer: "What a lot of bugs" Tech. Sup.: "Yeah, I see em too, and they have such pretty colors! " - Nice colorfull, playfull GUI.... ON A SERVER! ---
What about distributed indexing ? the databases of search engines are allways behind what's currently on a site, some links don't even exist anymore. why not make distributed.net like clients that do web-indexing, getting a list of URL's from a server and visiting and indexing them, then return the result to the central server. that way, the main search index would be a lot more up-to-date. ---

On to Mars

· Score: 1
It could work, in the netherlands we had a television show called 'big brother' it was about a couple of people 'locked' into a house for 100 days. The public loved it ! Why not send a spacecraft to mars , put a lot of cam's aboard the thing, and broadcast it ? So, obviously you want to not just webcast it but also make it a show on national television (24/7 coverage) After a few days the public will love it (just as the big brother show in NL), and after the mars mission is over, they would demand a sequel! also, the NASA could get most of the costs for the mission back through advertising, maybe even make it profitable! ---
what about sticking one of these chips on a PCI add-on card for a desktop PC ? since these CPU's can be reprogrammed to execute virtually any instruction set they can be used as great hardware accelerators. e.g. start a java application, the computer reprograms the crusoe as a native java processor and you have a java accelerator card! or when you start a game , you reprogram the chip to do 3d instructions (@700MHz!!!) and there you have a 3d accelerator! . or make it do encryption! the possibilties are unlimited! and when no application is using the card, make it do work for distributed.net
What I'm missing is a plugin to play something other than music, e.g. MPEG video, XMMS stands for X MultiMedia System, I don't think playing audio only is a MultiMedia System. Why not make it a real MMS and make it play other things ?!?!? ---
sorry I guess I was misinformed, but where do they get their newsfeed ? they have to get it from another server , don't they? can't that be cut off ? ---
what about bill BUYING a small country ? (there are some really small country's) now THAT would be scary! imagine bill making his own laws and having his own army!
Slashdot Mirror
what about writing a small piece of javascript that would decompress the page ??
something like this:
String thePage="-lots of crap-";
{small decompression algorithm here}
document.write(decodedString);
since plain text can be compress fairly well it would be possible to use more than 5K of HTML and then compress it this way.
