the controller is crazy, but even more exciting is the promise of a game demo called.... PILOT WANGS
from the crazy stuff link in the parent post.
DEMO: PILOT WANGS
Manipulate a biplane through the air, trying to fly through rings scattered around the Isle Delfino hub world of Super Mario Sunshine.
IMPRESSIONS: This was about all the different ways the Revolution can detect tilting the controller. It was as if the controller was the airplane itself - as long as your movements weren't too sudden, the on-screen action would mimic your movements with very little lag time. After about a minute I was pulling dramatic dives and loop-de-loops, bullseye-ing plenty of rings.
sounds inovative to me!
furthermore you could have taken into consideration that WoW itself will see an expansion pack very soon. That is no different to GW expansion packs by any means at all.
I personally am unemployed.
I'm 21 and was picked up as a programmer as soon as I left school. I worked in the same job for afew years and the company ended up going down the plug.
So now I am left without qualifications (admittedly I should have studied a course while working but hindsight is 20-20) and am now waiting for uni enrolments to start again.
However for 6 months I worked on F/OSS software for non profit organisations and loved it, I am going back to volunteer. It was 3 days a week 7-8 hours a day and lead a project working on a small scalable linux distribution (trinix based) and a set of low level tools to make things run that bit better on lower end machines.
This is what I would have done whilst sitting at home, except recognised on a wider scale whilst giving me some stuff for my resume.
It's a good arrangement IMO.
Crossplatform Ruby

RAD with Ruby

I actually wish I had had these details all in one place when I was looking afew months back (abit of googling eventually showed all those pages).
Personally, I have found if you are really interested in RAD w/ Ruby + QT is fine for linux.
But Wx is cross platform and free! and tools like VisualWx which has support for WxRuby certainly help.
1) not that I know of
2) use the firefox password manager (it is built in)
3) try adding a bookmark to yahoo, removing the search criteria from the url and replacing it with %s. then assign it a keyword.
that way you can just type.. 'yahoo searchciteriahere'
4) groups of tabs. add the group of tabs to a bookmark folder, right click the folder and open all tabs
5) try the adblock firefox extention. it is on the extention website.
the console programs I use on a regular basis I would have to say are:
screen (and occasionally twin)
not to mention irssi. irssi plus bitlbee(a server with msn/icq/aim/yahoo support for irc).
gamp for mp3's
and giFTcurs
links with svgalib is also another great program. it is rare I ever startup X.. I can do just about everything without (and no loss in productivity IMO)
The language itself never really appealed to me and
I have also found everything I have run/created to run unneccessarily slow. This may be a mistake of some kind on my behalf.. But the amount of resources combined with the speed were unbearable. Parrot sounds like a nice alternative though, although isn't the benefit of most of the languages above the fact that they *are* scripting languages? and this also means it could benefit a language like PHP right?
Any more insight into VM's would certainly be appreciated:)
Virtual Machines really seem to be the way of the future. But I am really not sure how I feel about them yet..
Parrot will have to prove itself yet, especially with the aftertaste.net and java have left in my mouth.
Sounds like an interesting idea though even if only for a neatly compiling language
Slashdot Mirror
I own three domains, a .net, .org and .info with three completely unrelated names.
two out of three of them are blocked on msn.
a nice red vs blue quote if nobody picked up on it

these days hamachi does that job pretty well.
you beat me to it. But there is one small catch, x86. Why not just hire the Yoper guys :)
I'm in the process of working on a largish scale rails project now (I took a break from laying down the SQL work to visit /.).
How do you find it performs? and any hurdles you have come across sofar?
-Offtopic I realise, but I am curious and I am sure afew others are.
I bet he's drunk.
that it is, it's also the same tax software we have had for years.
wormholes? all bill and ted needed was a phonebox.
and arn't black hats the ones we are worried about most anyway?
glad you asked the question and not me, I also had them confused
more like a 'like your mum lets you do this in the basement' rating. :P
I certainly wouldn't be putting account details on anything that wasn't in SSL anyway.

Unfortunately it is only on windows atm AFAIK
this is an interesting read, it really doesn't make the cable snapping sound too scary
google goes public yesterday
microsoft announces 2 gig email today
sounds to me like someone is trying to lower the others stock prices....

there has never been a better time to try it IMO

In other news, Microsoft, Valve and Cisco to give free seminars on network security!
I live just down the road from that university. All I need is uni students running down my street playing with my WiFi
surely DNS blacklist's are a more realisitic solution when combined with a realistic database blacklist
