  1. neuros audio on Neuros Audio Releases Its Hardware Schematics · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I have one of these ( practically smuggled from US), and it is impressive what they did. It works perfect, it's open, it works with Linux, you can hack it, you can broadcast radio, etc, etc.

    Kudos to the Neuros Audio! Keep it open!

  2. OT: what browser does he use?? on A Liquid That Turns Solid When Heated · · Score: 1

    [Additional note for physicists: I've been forced to use the "alpha-CD" notation here, because neither my publishing software nor my browsers seem to be able to understand the correct notation, which is "CD."]
    i've just checked on my Firefox, it works. Or is he using....oh,no!!!

  3. Phew.... on Independent Developers Fight Piracy & Lose · · Score: 1

    for the moment i thought the autor of this Echelon was taking measures agains piracy...

  4. Missing Option on Google Code Jam 2004 · · Score: 1

    got there, log on, checked first practice problem.
    Got amazed, something is missing in "choose your language":

    Perl.

    PS.How you can think of a fast coding competition without Perl??? That's beyond my comprehension...

  5. site feedback on Amazon's Search Engine Goes Live · · Score: 1



    Already used A9's Feedback form 3 times: first about the bobble that doesn't come on gecko bases browsers, second about not validating with w3c, and third about the back button.

    I suggest you do too. I wonder if the listen.

  6. Re:Laws of Infodynamics on Why We Need a Second Moore's Law · · Score: 1

    There is no such equivalence. In a theory of system one system can acquire as much information as it can, while system's energy can only be transformed. Each change of system state adds a new bit to the system information. This can organize ( speak: freely associate ) and create 'laws', which tend to control transformations.

    I don't know/i can't extrapolate what happens when system has too much information. probalby leads to a end state, but because of the conservation of energy then should happen someting like a Big Bang.

  7. cheap energy source for electronics? on Why We Need a Second Moore's Law · · Score: 1

    We know already the answer, do we?

    ...Human body is the best source of cheap energy. I don't habe the Matrix ( sic!) DVD around, because i can cite from Morpheus...

    now seriosly, can this be made? Electronics that use our internal energy? like a running battery, and think of a peaceful coexistence: we give energy to the device, which gives us the comnodity we need.

    hmm..

  8. Re:No Safari on Google Offers Personalized Search · · Score: 1

    curiously, i am browsing with Konqueror ( based on the same KHTML engine ) and it works perfect...

    Strange...

  10. Clones and clones on Rhythmbox Gets iPod Support · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Well, Rhytmbox may be good. I have tried some times, but i crashed when i loaded my whole mp3 collection onto it.

    And because my preffered DE is KDE, i reevaluated again JuK. And surprise! Not only had no problem loading everything, but it works flawless, playing oggs and mp3, without any slowing or something else doing to my system. It takes some memory, but i have enough

    So if a project deserves to be developed to connect to Mp3 playes ( because not only iPod exists; i personally use a Neuros ), i think JuK it is that one.

  11. Re:protcol and hardware on BIC-TCP 6,000 Times Quicker Than DSL · · Score: 1

    correction, DSL is a Layer 2 and TCP is a Layer 4...

  12. protcol and hardware on BIC-TCP 6,000 Times Quicker Than DSL · · Score: 0, Redundant

    isn't DSL a hardware technology ( Layer 1 ) whereas a protocol ( TCP, or their invention BIC-TCP) is a layer 3???

    Please compare apples with apples and oranges with oranges.

    The article makes me laugh, really....

  13. in germany? Nothing easier... on Obtaining Legal MP3s Outside of the U.S.? · · Score: 1

    there are already download services at
    www.saturn.de

    i think they offer pretty much songs, also in the ebm or gothic area.

  14. Private Addressing?? on In (Sort Of) Defense of Spammers · · Score: 1

    i am thinking of a solution since long ago. It all comes down to follow the logic stream.

    Q:How does a spam email reach my inbox?
    A:Because my email server receives it.

    Q:How my email server receives it?
    A:Because my domain MX record has an entry.

    Conclusion: I will not receive email if i don't have an _public_ MX record.

    But what if Company X and company Y are email servers are exchanging this information about MX in a more private way?
    What if the whole email exchanger infrastructure will move from actual DNS to a specific naming service a la DNS but only to serve MX records. Imagine using a TLD .email, where each company can request a name under this TLD ( like yahoo.com.email), get assigned a X.509 certificate bound to its each fixed MX server address. Each email sent from company X to company Y, would use a mechanism like IKE to authentify the sender. Goodbye, email spoofing. goodbye, anonymous smtps. goodbye, worms that propagate over email.Goodbye Bayes and thanks.

    I hope somebody responsible really reads this. Because you see, the above solution is doable, and is also easy to implement. Heck, we can even implement it tommorow.

    yours,
