Is there anyway to make your own page like the one google personalises for you?
How can I get slashdot headlines to show up?
How about displaying your search history? Is there a program one can run locally, that just keeps track of google queries? How hard is it to write one?
The Creative Zen may be an iPod mini rip off, but I think the interface is better on the Zen.
Say you have a long list of songs, then to get to the bottom of it rather than rotate your thumb in a circular fashion (many times over), isnt it simpler to rest it on the down arrow on the Zen?
I dont think the Radeon 9200 is better than GeForce 3. According to Tom's VGA Charts:
GeForce3 > Radeon 9000 Pro
and Radeon 9000 Pro > Radeon 9200
Therefore, Geforce 3 > Radeon 9200. Its not a definite comparision but its what I found. Correct me if I'm wrong.

1. palm's graffiti...
hand writing recognition and optical character recognition are two very different things. since they're recognizing the script of indian languages which is different from the currently OCR technolog(y/ies).
2. media centre enabled laptop...
bingo, my point exactly. . .
3. babelfish...
does it translate into indian languages? yeah . ..didnt think so.
anyway, my basic point was that, in 1 and 3, atleast they're doing something new, something that hasnt been done before and non-trivial. but 2 on the other hand, IMHO, is just a trivial extension to existing technology.
You can see the ilovebees thingy quite clearly in the medium and high quality ones. Not so in the low quality one.
PS: Sorry if this is already posted in this topic, didnt see any.
Thanks a lot man - just what I needed. Will set one up soon.
Am trying to come up with a tech tree first, that way I can work out the basics of the game.
Thanks again.
This is off topic, but we're going to start a game based off this (Stratagus) engine. We could use any help we get. I'm still working on a webpage to get our ideas organised, you will find the link to the page, once its done, over here: http://expert.cc.purdue.edu/~tsiripur
A brief description of the game: its going to be called University, and as the name suggests, you'll be responsible for the functioning of a university. You start off with a building with some administrative staff and some academic staff. You also have some funds to build a building or 2 to start with.
It sounds like a sim, but it isnt. It has a crazy side to it - as in you fight with other universities. Use your Computer Science students to hack and disable competing university's network. Or have sports matches - with your jocks competing against theirs.
Its very disorganised right now, but I will try to get some order into these ideas while making the page. Any help / suggestions will be appreciated.
Real Lives 2004 will be educational, but wouldnt it be like teasing the children there, showing them the gross difference in lifestyles - in fact, will they even be able to realate to the lifestyle of a lawyer in the united states?
However, I probably am wrong, since I don't really know the situation in Uganda. I may be stuck on stereotype.
Of course, if it was being sent to Nigeria, some bulk emailing software would help.
May be we can take the cheap way out, and use ebay for the motherboard and proc . ..
You get a SuperMicro P4DL6 dual P4 Xeon mainboard with 6 PCI-X slots for around $51 right now. Lets say it goes up to US$100 or even US$200 (considering that the other Xeon mobo is going for US$304.99). Just search for Xeon PCI-X on ebay.
Throw in a 2.8Ghz Xeon at 533Mhz FSB - available for US$199 on ebay - and some registered DDR RAM, say a gig, available for $121 a piece, 512MB PC2100, at NewEgg - and you're looking at a not so expensive base.
Adding it up:
Motherboard- $100 (min)************$305 (max) Processor - $199 (min,2.8 Ghz)****$360 (max,3Ghz) RAM - $121 (512MB)**********$242 (1 GB) BASE TOTAL - $420******************$907
US$420 for a mobo, cpu and RAM doesnt sound too bad for a base setup, provided you find the deals on ebay. Of course, this is just the base, you have to add in the cost of other components too - Case, Power Supply, Monitor, Sound Card, Speakers, Keyboard, and Mouse - all of whose prices are flexible depending on you budget.
And, there, you have yourself a GeForce 6800 SLI compatible system. You just have to wait for the card/s to come out. Or just buy one card, and wait till the price drops on the other one.
I understand that Linux and GPL is all about every one being able to use them and being "open". But, cant we make some clause in GPL (or any license) to make it illegal for Microsoft to have anything to do with the open source product?
You get them at almost any store - you only need to ask. To start with, here are a few pretty decent cards(you can find them at newegg.com):
XFX NVIDIA(R) Geforce FX 5200 128MB DDR Video Card, Model PV-T64K-NT - Retail
ASUS V9180MAGIC Geforce4 MX440 64MB 128 bit AGP 8X TV-OUT RETAIL
ASUS RADEON 9200SE 64M 8X AGP TV-out RETAIL
Thats just a *few* of them - i dont know if all of them include half height brackets, but the XFX one does. Just look around newegg and browse the pictures, you can easily tell half height from normal size.
Its something called venting frustration/anger or for all you know, just have fun. People need games to experience sides of themselves that they cant 'sanely' do in real life. Of course, there is an appropriate age and not every one is in the right state of their mind to handle these properly.
Its not right to simply label people stupid because of the games they play - they are not real. Its recreation - its not real, after you realise that then take a step back and see whats happening. People have fun playing these games - they dont derive pleasure out of killing stuff.
For once, I think we need some benchmarks comparing laptop processors to desktop processors. Just so we get an idea of how laptops actually perform rather than depending on the specs alone.
Like right now, how does the Pentium-M compare to the Pentium 4/Athlon XP?
Atleast we're sure that HTPCs can be faster now. . .
Purdue's ResNet got shut off too . . .
On the same note, my ResNet counsellor told me that Purdue gets over a 100 under the table(not official) subpoena's a day asking users with so and so ip address's . ..since they are sharing files. luckily the guys just ask them to shove it up their butt. . . until the official one comes in.
ah well . ..guess have to live with the 2 GB download limit. ..unfortunately they cant figure whether its a virus or a filesharing program eating the bandwidth.

there is a difference between electronic and digital music. electronic music can be synthesized from analog components not necessarily digital ones.

How do you find the direct link to trailer?
I want to download quite a few trailers from the apple site . . . I find myself reloading the trailers using my browser over and over again.

Whats so great about the K-Yan?
Some duct tape, a htpc and a projector . . . thats all it is.
Its almost as if the journalists are treating the guy like a retard - give him too much credit for something so simple.
Theres definitely more innovative stuff than that, like DakNet http://www.firstmilesolutions.com/demo.htm, who came up with LOW cost internet access for rural areas.
I dont mean to take credit away from K-Yan - it might be a good product- but is it innovative?
I compressed the video, its now watchable on my modest pc. Quality is relative among the three. You can find it here:
Halo 2 Trailer High Quality [8.28 MB]
Halo 2 Trailer Medium Quality [3.87 MB]
Halo 2 Trailer Low Quality [1.24 MB]
You can see the ilovebees thingy quite clearly in the medium and high quality ones. Not so in the low quality one.

Yeah . . .my bad. I just figured. When I first read your post about that, I thought the article was wrong about PCIe.

Q: How does one politely ask a female for anal sex?
.?
A: Are you backward compatible . .
Hence, backward compatibility plays a big role in my purchase for a console.
Kill Darl, and you get $699 off!

so, you're the 8 bit binary batman eh? you're taking the 10 people who know binary too far . . .
Not really. . . you can buy one from New Egg right now.
