Hm,
I did discover thinkgeek from advertisements on/. and i did buy some stuff from them in the past, so yes, i did purchase something because of a web ad.
(to be honest, it was a while back when ads were more funny/static/interesting and noone was using adblockers...)
Don't worry, we already did learn, those are the ramblings of a madman (schäuble..) and noone really takes him serious anymore. The only ones who are are sensatinalist reporters looking for the next scandal headline...
I could not agree more. I used php extensively before and often laughed at J2EE as oversized and overblown for web sites. But i constantly hit the wall with every more compley web application. The fact that your goal is to build up your data structure as quick as possible only to display them and destroy them one moment later makes any real programming a pain. I even investigated in building PHP application servers, but they are far, far from mature. Most are just trying out the possibilities.
Compare to java now, many new technologies emerging to make J2EE simpler and less painfull (no need to edit XML config files of 2k sizes just to display a simple page). One nice ones i found was wicket (with hibernate and possible spring in the middle)
Still PHP has lots of uses, its enough by far for your average CMS. Use the right tool for the job !
P2 ? Thats high end hardware... i've got gentoo running on a Pentium (1 that is) with 120 Mhz, functioning as email server... as long as you distcc the hell out of it, it works like a charm:)
Hmm, a athlon64 4000 is not exactly cheap, and the recent "notbook" boards like the aopen i855 work perfectly under linux, even with speedstep. (my 1,7 Ghz doltan currently running perfectly smooth at 600 Mhz, and will get faster if i utilize the cpu)
So.. what's the point in underclocking an expensive CPU ? Rather than buying a CPU which is specificly designed for the task ?
Whats also good, if you want to go into these kinds of movies, drink some beer before you go to the cinema, go to a pub before, or something else. Being slightly drunk and in good mood helps a lot to appriciate these kind of films;)
I would also be interested in a good, cheap, silent, low power 2d card for my HTPC, which card did you excactly have ? How much for it ?
For the boot to tv, i think you can try to fool the card that there's an monitor attached, if it really demands a connected monitor. (just need to short some pins at the vga connector)
Uh, i just did a quick google for "Farnese Atlas statue" (as noted under the picture), and the results were without the leaf !!:)
see here: picture
(but beware, it contains nudity, oh the horror !)

hmm, i think it loads the search results in the background. When i type in some text and look at my squid logs i see several of the following queries:
http://www.google.com/complete/search?
So, basicly they use some javascript to handle on keypress event, send the data to google and back, and display them.. but i'm also amazed how fast it is ! (one point can be that the search pages result about 500-1000 bytes..)
I use Book very often these days on my siemens simpad to read ebooks. The downside is it can't read pdf, but it can read any plain text format (html,rft, txt, etc) perfectly.
I did convert a couple of my ebooks to.rtf and i'm very happy with it. Good fonts, display rotoation, many many settings, optional anti-alaising, etc..
yes, and it's even less common used than png... why create an extra format ? so you need to push the application-developers to support 2 new formats ? When they already have problem supporting one new one ?

Seems oracle.com is down :(
Somehow i did hoped IBM would go and buy SUN, if this is really definitive .. how do IBM and Oracle play together ?

Try out different filesystems, NILFS seems to be optimized for FLASH usage.
Brtfs could also be worth a try.
use the "noop" IO/Scheduler with nilfs: /sys/block/sdX/queue/scheduler
echo noop >
Postmark benchs on an usb-stick (shameless copied from here:
ext3 (mount -o noatime,noadirtime, normale Partition, scheduler cfq): 49 Transactions/s
nilfs2 (Partition aligned 128k, scheduler noop, protection_period 10s): 588 Transactions/s
if you have remote access .. its too easy to get them caught .. just install your favorite P2P client, and start downloading illegal materials :)
Only on Slashdot this could be moderated "informative ... "

That would imply that PHP was designed .. rather than something happened by accident ;)
/. is overrun by ID guys today ? i mean it was funny comment, but insightfull ? ;)
Anyone did try out Trails yet? They say its like RoR in Java, without the generated code ...
Is this some subtile joke by the editors among the BSD is dying trolls ?

no, because opera might be a nice OS, but it's missing a decent browser ;)

i don't know what kind of kernel you run, but my 2.6.11 supports md with SATA and PATA mixted together just fine:
...
Personalities : [raid0] [raid1] [raid5] [multipath]
md0 : active raid1 sda1[1] hdc1[0]
120060736 blocks [2/2] [UU]
sda is a sata, hdc is a pata drive

Q: how do you accelerate windows ?
A: with 9.82 m/s
yes, and it's even less common used than png ... why create an extra format ? so you need to push the application-developers to support 2 new formats ? When they already have problem supporting one new one ?
hmm, since those are squid (web-cache) graphs, either squid has a memory leak, or it uses all possible memory to cache objects.
