Umm.. TCP/IP is NOT faster than a jet, especially if the hardware used to transport the packets is a jet.
The structure of the packet has no definition of transmission speed other than how we tend to use it. A perfect example is TCP/IP over Carrier Pigeon which is a proven technology with poor reliability BUT it will work across open air with minimal power consumption (namely birdseed)
Considering the amount of traffic our DNS server recieves for a few thousand domains, I don't think I'd want to receive 'lookup' requests for everyone on the internet all the time.
The 100MBit connection wouldn't be able to handle it. Don't know how anyone on a DSL or modem would manage...
Actually, that would be the very reason they got a class A in the first place... You know, when there were only 200 people on the internet (in total), so they all got Class A's.
Doesn't take much work to do that with CVS either. Where do you think all these 'project histories' keep coming from?
As an example, we mail commits to a mailing list and store them in a linear log (as you suggest). CVS has the hooks, and writing a quick perl script to do the things you need really are quite simple. Umm.. if your using cvs the assumption is you can code anyway:)
HINT: Look at the CVSROOT/loginfo file for that kind of thing. It even has the example you're looking for in it.
The reason people run things at home (now) is because they run it at work. Your average Joe who can't remember how to use Word97 since Word2000 replaced it at their office.
So, Gnome coming standard on various OSs (even if it's only servers for now) at the office will encourage people to install it at home for consistency.
KDE is going the other route. Trying to appease people at home, and hoping from there it works its way into the corporations..
KDE will start out strong, but Gnome *should* (with a good product) be able to capture a significant amount of desktop space. That said, I don't think either can unroot Microsoft from the desktop.
MP3 does an adequate job, but they're sole ability to make money depends on screwing the artist. Notice the %ages of sales, monthly fees, among other things -- which as it's turning out go straight to an industry that most of their clients aren't a part of (yet).
Anyway, take a look at some other websites. My personal favorite (since I admin the system) is BarChord.com. Its missing a few features (which are being actively addressed for the next release), but atleast they're strictly trying to provide tools to the artist to help make them revenue (and share in it) rather than relying on artists to pay fees to be a part of it.
png still isn't used by me primarily because IE has lousy Alpha channel support. If they fix that, I'll use it when IE 6 becomes the 'lowest support point'.
Most corporate websites still have to support the 4.x series of browsers -- some companies aim for the 3.x series. Those certainly don't work well with png's at all.
I'm waiting for a DivX codec that uses Ogg for audio rather than MP3 so we can have 6 channel sound in our DivX based home movies.

It would require the length of each jump, the number of jumps and the starting position.
You would have to be pretty lucky to be able to get anything out of it (position very early in the tree for a short position)

Doesn't matter how you do it, the computer converts all bases to base 2 (good old 1 and 0) which requires X amount of space.
If you were to write it down, that might be a different story. Best (realistic) base would be about 58 (a-zA-Z0-9).
All this thing requires is that you can run a windows executable. Receive it in mutt, save to harddrive and run from wine and you should get the same results.
haha... Every played a lan party with some real money riding on it? Believe me, theres no social interacting beforehand. Everyones in a state of parallysis as they worship their deity, relax their brain and do finger stretches and pushups.
Afterwards -- once the gloating winner is gone with all the money -- the real interacting occurs.
Come to think of it, it's almost like poker night.
Hmm.. I wonder if the Itanium lets you execute the stack?
Perhaps they could do some hardware stuff for 'This string is this length, and no longer than that damnit'. Quick change in compilers to add that instruction and tada -- many exploits gone and we have sloppier programmers to boot (myself included).
I've love charged local calls considering the amount I use the phone. But if that happens, there better not be a monthly fee on top of that.
Considering the long distance plans are 10cents/minute up to $20 -- the equivelent for local calls would make a lot of people happy. Monthly fee is just over $20 at the moment:)
haha.. you know that Missle defense thing you folks are working on wouldn't do much against an attack from your neighbour to the north. The lines in the wrong place...
Most states or in Canada that last statement is true. But not the one in question -- which is why this was illegal. It's also illegal for cops in this state to make recordings in a similar manner by dash board cameras.
Too many people are getting their states confused. Yeah, that NYPD show has everyone recorded -- but the US doesn't do their laws on a national scale making the whole system damn confusing because everywhere you go it's different.
Then it's unlikley you have much ability to sucessfully go through with an illegal action and would be caught 'red-handed' anyway.
Ever seen a blind person try to shoot a gun at someone -- or stab them? I don't imagine it's very easy to do.
Heh.. if your going to read stuff from flat files, then you'll probably never hit the cpu limit before disk.
If you had a real database the story might be a little different. That is, I'm guessing you don't do many calculations on the data considering the lack of (easy to use) triggers / functions, subselects and other wonderful database tasks that push the CPU.
In you case, push the frontend -- as thats where all the work goes on to implement the above features. Then again, perhaps your just running a forum based website and as such don't require a database -- but use MySQL for ease in storage / retrieval of information rather than integrity / reporting.
Thats something BarChord does with EDonkey distribution. When an artist uploads music, they have an option to have it automagically injected into the EDonkey 2000 p2p network.
We're working on other networks as well -- but I rather like the structure of EDonkey.
Ahh yes, a true believer in data integrity.
By the way, ever tried inserting or updating MySQL tables with a few million rows in them? Oh, and sorry about locking the table to do those updates... Bwahahaha
Someone must have really messed up your email setup if an instant messenger is faster as for all intent and purpose it's just a local SMTP server with a few tricks to interpret special messages.

They're powered, but I only know of planes that goto Mach ~3... well below HyperSonic speeds.

Brandname vs. new comer. I'll let you decide.
You give us that comment then use the word 'Gonna' in it. Something is seriously wrong hear :)
