Last time I checked, FreeBSD was based on the 4.4BSD codebase, which is directly descended from the original ATT UNIX. So, while FreeBSD isn't Open Group certified as UNIX, and neither is Darwin, both are directly descended from the UNIX codebase, so yes, OS X is UNIX, it just isnt UNIX(tm).
While this may seem at first to be just a one off joke, there is really alot to be said for torching a drive. In addition to the massive physical damage, you will heat the magnetic layers past their Curie point, so their magnetic orientation won't matter: they won't be magnetic anymore.
I am unaware of the existance of such a thing, but it would be MUCH, MUCH simpler to implement as a cardbus device, as cardbus is a pure superset of PCI, whilst USB and 1394 are entirely different protocols (with lower bandwidths, at that).
It could be implemented as a cardbus card which just pulls the wires out to a PCI connector. Not pretty, but perfectly effective.
the storage requirements are even smaller than you estimate: consider that these would be pure speech files, so a CELP-derived codec would be appropriate. remember, Speex is intelligable at 6kbps, decent at 8kbps, and functionally excellent at 11 kbps.
Well, I am not sure it counts as a side job, as I don't have a job in the first place, but when I am not toiling at either school or theatre, I do lighting work for a local production company (owned and operated by some old friends). Being production work, it is very gig-oriented, but by the same token it is well suited to side work, as there are no long term commitments involved.
So, yeah, sound and lighting design and operation for small/medium productions.
This is not exactly true. Neither is a subset of the other, however they do share a large common subset. That said, most modern POWER chips can emulate the extra PowerPC instructions in microcode. This same capability could in theory be included on a PowerPC chip (in reverse), but would be more difficult, as several extra registers (such as MQ) are needed for the POWER spec; it has never been done.
He has a good point. Consider, for example, a student at a university that forbids you to run any servers (say, UF with ICARUS). With portknocking, you could keep all ports closed yet, with minimal effort, open a transient hole in your firewall, allowing you to, say, access an ssh server, but only from the machine originating the portknock. This is particularly useful in a DHCP based environment, where a static firewall rule would be utterly ineffectual.
DISCLAIMER: No, I do not attend UF, don't send in the goons. It is just an example.
No, Apple will not try to kill this project, because it emulates a PowerPC system. As you will recall, PowerPC is a mostly open architecture owned mostly by IBM, then Motorola, then finally Apple. For Apple to try to kill this project would be roughly equivalent to them trying to stop some random embedded developer from making their PowerPC board CHRP/PEAP compliant.
The 49G is HP's succesor to the 48SX. It has full symbol manupulation ability, and can function in eigther RPN or algebraic mode (RPM WILL RULE THE WORLD!!!). It is an excellent calculator.
This Bill requires that one have the permission of the copyright holder to upload a file on a peer to peer network. It ignores the possibility that such upload might be perfecty valid under Fair Use, hence (under current law), not require the copyright holder's permission. This law essentially (like so many RIAA/MPAA efforts) attempts to trample fair use, while imposing ludicris penalties for unfair use (interpreted as most all use).
I must heartily disagree with your statements on graphing calculators. The instant you show me a piece of software I can put on my Palm that will come even close to matching the functionality of my TI-89, much less my HP-49G, I will stop using them. However, the past few years of constant searching for such software (not so much to save money as to save devices) has proven to me that Palm software just doesnt exist for symbol manipulation. Certainly for some students (those who are fine with a TI-83+ sort of calculator) a Palm might suffice, but for higher level math, the software just doesn't exist. (Now if there were a port of GNU Octave...) There is also an issue in that PDAs are almost universally banned for students taking math tests, as there is no workable method of forcing the students to clear the memory to eliminate illicit notes, but I will leave the proof and implications of that as an exercise to the reader.
the truely interesting statistics would cover whether those who are not sharing are primarily uploaders or downloaders, and what there volume was before they stopped.
thank you, dear troll, for revealing your ineptitude so blatently. there is so such thing as a 3000 mhz MIPS chip, you (one is led to assume) are using a MIPS R3000, the second chip produced by MIPS, running at (at most) 33mhz. The R3000 is vintage 1990 at best. as to your sugggestion of 64gigs of ram, i will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you meant 64 megs. now, my little troll, go back to your cave.
Sorry, but you are all wrong. The true classical spelling for the plural of virus is vira. It derives from the Latin VIRUS, VIRI, neuter, defined as "venom (sg.), poisonous secretion of snakes/creatures/plants; acrid element;". the complete declinsion follows. Those familiar with Latin will notice that all forms other than the nominative singular and plural, and the accusative singular are identical to the noun VIR, VIRI, masculine meaning "man; hero;".
| Singular | Plural
Nom. | VIRUS | VIRA
Gen. | VIRI | VIRORUM
Dat. | VIRO | VIRIS
Acc. | VIRUS | VIROS
Abl. | VIRO | VIRIS
Wake up and smell the Ham (radio, that is). Amateur radio operators have tons of spectrum, including primary rights on the lower 1/2 of the 802.11b spectra (which encompasses Channels 1 6).
Stop complaining and get an Amateur Radio lisence.

Happy torching!

Speex is not mp3. It is a BSD licensed CELP-based codec optimized just for speech, and hence much better at lower bit rates.
the storage requirements are even smaller than you estimate: consider that these would be pure speech files, so a CELP-derived codec would be appropriate.
remember, Speex is intelligable at 6kbps, decent at 8kbps, and functionally excellent at 11 kbps.

Might we humble /.ers convince you to release the aforementioned C program, and perhaps tell us which AVR you used?

umm... PSX is the forthcoming upgrade of the PS2. You must mean PSOne (to use the Sony blessed name).

Hey yo, some us /. homies aint got no grammer problems.
you know, T3 should be really short: all that bandwidth, so little content
