Probably works better than Blackboard here. Our Blackboard tends to crash, mix-up sessions (sometimes resulting in being logged in as a school administrator, including all permissions to play with student accounts), and just plain 'ol not work. And they use Tomcat. A really slow, most likely misconfigured Tomcat. I would prefer your nice low tech solution.
...that some buisness need to read. The local school system here runs Blackboard which seems to use Apache Tomcat, and it really has problems, both with sessions and general speed. Perhaps some bigger corporations shoudl go back-to-basics with nice books like these.
Sure, but have you ever *actually* used those for anything useful? Most people use WASTE for either chat or file sharing, not really both (although sure, a small percentage do, but this solution that is being proposed acts like it is for the common man).
I (being the project admin) know where WASTE is going, and it's going to be a lot simpler for those users who want it to be. 1.0 was obviously quite unfinished when originally released by Nullsoft. When we hit 2.0 it will be much more like a 1.0 in terms of features and stability. One of our goals is to create a second interface which is simpler. The installer is already a lot more user friendly, and setup is getting smoother (read: less buggy and confusing due to errors - and firewalls/routers tend to work a lot better now, my new DSL router setup without a hitch, zero-configuration no less) all the time. I am afraid these folks have written off WASTE before it's truely "done". A GAIM plugin is not logical to me. Integration of two technologies always kills off both technologies in my experience.
...fairly stupid. Not only is this a mix of two seperate things, but why would making a plugin for GAIM do anything? It's the same thing for people who want to merge WASTE with Miranda or GAIM. I do fine with my P2P seperate from my IM, and I don't WANT P2P with my AIM, etc. It's not going to help stop the RIAA either, they will just go after people using the plugin. I'll take mine seperate (and secure as in darknet) thank you.
Any tests with pictures? One of the big speed advantages of Opera that I notice is the way it handles images. It prioritizes the images based on wether the image is in the viewable region (the part of the page that the user is looking at / reading).
I actually *just* installed Opera 7.6 preview 3 (latest public beta pretty much), and MAN, what do you know, it's borrowing ideas from Firefox. So not only is it already better, but they are re-incorporating all that was missing anyway (and adding some cool new features, such as a trash bin for closed tabs - Opera innovation at work). And yes, I can already see the trolls about to tell me that you would only take ideas from the better browser. No, you only take the better ideas, and every browser has better ideas than another browser, even *shudder* IE.
I must say that although I am still an Opera user now (it still wins in the customization department), if Firefox added in the massive ammounts of neat extra features Opera has (someone make an extension! please?), I would switch. Firefox seems to be just as fast, plus I love the security of open source. So Opera better change their buisness model, and fast, because Firefox is bound to have all their features eventually.
Freezing hard drives is actually a known method of fixing hard drives with "the click of death". Never tried it myself, but many people swear to it. Not only that, but I know people who have tried it and say it works. Perhaps the BBC should educate themselves before writing something off as stupid.
Sorry about the blank page. When I visited it it redirected to something insulting Gays, so I deleted the redirect to replace it, and got a little enter happy, thus yielding a blank page. WHOOPS! (It's my IP that made it blank, I admit it. Sorry guys!)
Took the words right out of my mouth (read my.sig, then look at sf's project members list).
WASTE is indeed safe, private, and underground sharing/collaboration. Thanks to the newest beta it's even undetectable thanks to random packet length. It appears as just more data on the network. P2P is becoming quite sly at hiding itself.
But Open Source helps. Look at Shareaza, no RIAA threats to them yet, because you can't threaten them. Plus, certain important legal battles are finally being won in the fight for rights. Plus, (shameless plug follows), you can go open soruce and secure: WASTE.
Actually your theory has already been destroyed by the folks who got 6GHz out of their P4. It was even stable enough to boot XP, so something is flawed with your ideas. So maybe there is a limit, but not anywhere near 4GHz.
What do you know? Changed AGAIN.

The message on the main site has changed to:
"Our Server is getting hit with unbelievably high traffic - the Slashdot Effect hit us by surprise. The shopping cart will be up shortly, please be patient."
Apparently they are ready to cash in.

Each school system is different. fcps.blackboard.com is the local server used.

Get Opera 7.6 Preview 3. GMail works great.

I'll give you $20 for Rhapsody, maybe more more for stuff. Seriously. Drop me a line at eharmon gmail.com.
I'm fast aren't I :D
Fixed the wikipedia page myself, but if someone screws with it again use that link.
Someone decided to screw with the Wikipedia page. Nice work ass.

Wow....the slashdot editors edited something. Amazing. Now can someone tell me why?
"X10 Halloween Display" -> "X10 Hallowe'en Display". Same change in the article text.
Huh?
It's still hanging on. Guess it prefers a slow and painful death.

Yep, go look at Rhapsody (aka Mac OS X Server for x86): Screenies / Short History. It barely supported anything.
