I'm trying to understand the complete business cycle
Let's say a small voip for residential similar to vonage.
It's easy to understand voip when it's ip to ip but I get confused when it's ip to pstn.
Do I need an asterisk box or something similar in each area code that I want to provide service? How do I purchase the numbers for the area code's I want? If I want to have say 1000 lines at first for my customer pool do I actually need 1000 individual rj11 lines? Or do these t1 lines thingie's merge a bunch of phones lines within this?
I'd really like to read an article explaining the a-z of voip if anyone has any.

It's always felt fast enough, and never felt bogged down even with fairly large documents. And haven't people compared OO to Office 97 features instead of OfficeXP/03
Anyone recommend c# books/tuts for beginners?

Most c# books I've looked at seem to assume someone coming from a c/c++/java background. Are there any good books that make no assumptions?
I've heard really good things about mono a developers notebook but I've also read that it's not good for beginners.

Ok, I used to love math in highschool, but have let my math skills drift many years ago.
Looking at the first question I don't even understand what it's asking.
Looking at this site this person breaks down his logic:
http://www.mkaz.com/math/google/
My first intrepretation of the problem was to find the first 10-digit prime...
After that he loses me, and he even provides an explanation of E but I don't really get it and how it applies to this question.
Can someone explain the question in a way that someone with basic math skills can understand it?
Sigh... I miss math, there was a time when I believed my career would be in mathematics/computer science. Instead of being stuck in a dead end job.
Beer, in this great land of Canada eh, is kinda expensive (over a buck a bottle). I'd hate to have to treat my beer as a regular expense (1 bottle a day per month equals $30+ each month).
So is there a cheaper alternative to getting this health benefit?
Also, say you do drink occasionally (say once a month having 6-9drinks) does that negate the benefits of this?
I made the directpad pro hookup for 2 psx pads on the lpt port a few years back and have been happy with em. Unfortunately, only 1 works in linux which I was disappointed with.
But recently I found this link of someone who has patched the kernel for 2 controllers. As an added bonus it solved my slow down issues that I have been getting with my psx pad since 2.4.20. Slightly OT, but the slow downs always bugged me and looking at gamecon.c nothing changed between those kernels so it's something else but I could never figure out what even playing with PSX_DELAY value to no end.
This game called glx http://glx.upir.org// looks really good. Reminds me of Gravitar by the looks of it.
I couldn't get this fmod sound library working though. I couldn't find an install for it anywhere and I downloaded it from their site but it would just seg fault.
Any ideas on how to get this working would be cool.
Yes the netcode was updated a long time ago, but when I tried it, it was horrible but yet tons of people were playing it. To me, efficient netcode was crucial then when most people were on modems. Because lets face it, no matter how good the game is if the netcode isn't up to the job how can you actually have a good game? And then I remember they tried 'fixing it' by making it fair for modem/high speed users with some type of prediction that gave people with dial up some type of advantage in certain circumstances. Sorry I can't remember the details but I remember it didn't work well.
So yes, I've heard it now has and for awhile has had good net code, but when I tried it the netcode was horrible but yet it was the most popular game online. I never understood playing a game when something required is sorely lacking.
For ex. my belief in gaming is gameplay is king. Something could have horrible graphics but great game play. Now when you bring a game online, the netcode needs to be of quality to allow a user to enjoy the gameplay. This game certainly didn't have it for awhile but yet thousands were playing it.
I tried CS when it first came out and couldn't stand it.
First off, it seemed to have netquake net code not quakeworld. The net code was horrible.
2nd, most people don't actually do the objective, the last 2 camp, to play 1 on 1 just to be the last guy standing.
3rd.. ah fuck third, I could on and on why CS sucks.
People out there who play CS and haven't tried Enemy territory yet. Just go download it, it's free and see how a class based game with real objective's that have to be accomplished is done right.
It won multiplayer game of the year left and right. I'm really hoping to hear of ET2 but not sure if the doom3 engine is right for it cause it certainly looks like it's not.
Ot, but does the doom3 engine have terrain support? And 4 players will certainly have to be dealt with.
I hate to say it but the source engine looks like the engine for ET2. Then again they are doing wolf with d3 engine so we'll see.
I read in some of the comments about running the calandar from a server and what I want is a shared calandar amongst friends/family. Maybe something in the calandar where things are listed as private/public. Private being my own dates of note, and the public being friends who have been given access to the calandar and can say put a reminder for someone's birthday or what have you. Or even an option where you can specify events for specific people in the group list vs it just being able to everyone.
Is this possible?
Not having fullscreen today in a video player is just unacceptable. But on the plus side the player does seem nicer/less bloated.
I just checked and I'm still on 8 (whats currently avail in deb sid). So maybe the fullscreen option is finally there in 10.
Btw, mplayer will play my realvid files but if you skim through the video it loses sync which doesn't happen in real.
Any fix for that?
From what I know, the audio and this are two seperate issues. Or did The Carmack add support for Creative's EAX 3d super duper shit sound as a result of this.
If so, I've lost respect for The Carmack. I remember in the pc gamer article it even mentioned that since the sound in D3 was all in software it wouldn't matter jack if you had some uber audiogy wizz bang sound card or just on board cheapo. It would all sound the same.
So adding this now just so creative can slap d3 all over their ads is revolting and misleading to customers.
Some flash still skyrockets my cpu usage, but all flash has sound lag issues. In this clip the sound is about a full second behind the animation.
Any way of fixing that?
3dfx did open their drivers and last I checked, they never caught up with the performance of their closed source win drivers. Plus there were some other issues that always cropped up with 3dfx and linux.
This is a situation where I thought open source would shine.

If you made one of these your wallpaper? :)
What the fuck was that all about?
I've been dying to see that but could never find anywhere to rent it.
Is it online anywhere?
Another one I've always wanted to see is the boxer.
I really liked these devices but with no support for mp3 and the stupid check in/checking out of ones own music was too much.
But with mp3 support and ditch that system I'd probably grab one.
Btw, anyone try and get one of these working under linux?

They will be attracted to that much more than you.

The Carmack, say it ain't so.
Oh and I meant to say to you two about OS X.
GO fuck yourselves.
thank you
Using latest firefox 9.1, using latest flash 7 which solved some cpu issues but not all depending on the content of the flash.
No sound daemons running at all, just alsa.
Are some of you saying with mozilla and flash you do not have sound issues with this animation in linux?
I've never bothered with standalone flash but is there a way to play these fullscreen since they are vector graphics?
Also how do you guys get a direct link?
There has been lots of flash I've wanted to grab instead of just watching in a window.
Some flash still skyrockets my cpu usage, but all flash has sound lag issues. In this clip the sound is about a full second behind the animation. Any way of fixing that?
3dfx did open their drivers and last I checked, they never caught up with the performance of their closed source win drivers. Plus there were some other issues that always cropped up with 3dfx and linux.
This is a situation where I thought open source would shine.
