I believe there is an acrobat for Palm, but 200meg pdfs sound kinda big. Maybe go with a Clie or something similiar or a PocketPC if money isn't a concern. Just make sure you can add external storage (SD, microSD, etc)
In regards to "downloading pirated 3d models" it shouldnt be a problem. Because 3d printers, aren't actually making full functional objects. They're creating 3d models of what the object looks like but entirely made out of plastics. So it's not like you can scan your computer and tell it to just make a dup, it doesnt work that way, unless you want a real-world size plastic replica. *shrug*
I've always tinkered with the idea of making a low-budget film. Anyone seen Clerks?
I wonder what Kevin Smiths take on it is, or it would be nice if he would write a book like this.
I'd buy it in a heartbeat:)
With the wonderful growth of open source software and many using the GPL (v2) what is so wrong with it they need to make a new version. For the past couple months that I've been following everything has been pretty much bad concerning V3.
I have been downloading the chess 6-men egtb for over a year. The complete set is over 1.5TB. So I guess I would be flagged to.
Also what if you do video conferencing, or research oriented datasets.
*shrug*
hrm perhaps there's something physically wrong with the machine. I'll run memcheck and some diagnostic software on it, but as it is out of the box very slow.
A recently helped my girlfriends uncle buy a new laptop since he's on the road a lot. We went the normal consumer route and went around town looking for the best deal. As a big Toshiba fan I kept my eye on those. To my surprise everywhere we went offered ONLY vista installed.
Problem being when we took the machine home and booted, the machine is dead slow. It's a 2ghz machine with 1gig memory. (Not bad I run my own desktop with less, though I run linux)
Just to boot this thing takes 5-10 minutes, and the user experience just blows. I dont blame Toshiba as I've seen and used many of their laptops and never had a problem. Just wish they would let you have XP instead of Vista if you wanted.
"While development of Red Hat was discontinued in 2003, it directly spawned successors like Ubuntu, which aim to make desktop use of Linux commonplace."
Nice article but not always correct. Ubuntu is a decedent of Debian not Redhat.
Curious by why would it be the property of the school?
School isn't a job, it's a service. You pay them for a service and your papers are your own work based on a service you paid for that generally is public domain knowledge. It isnt like calculus or Shakespeare has change in the past hundred years. It's really the access to a teacher who can walk you through the info and fill in the gaps you're paying for.
I wonder how microsoft feels about the leak. If anything it will be a bargain chip for cheaper rates when it comes time to pay their outsourced PR firm.
Aye I have and they're not 100% Delphi compatible, haven't tried Lazarus though. The problem with using fpc for Delphi code (besides incompatibilities) is that it doesnt support Forms. If you're doing cli only stuff it seems to work ok. But if you have a GUI you're kinda screwed.
That's good. Honestly I liked Delphi. I downloaded the 180day evaluation version of the suites so I could look/compile/test code while porting to C. The IDE is beautiful, I'm sad Kylix didnt make it because it would have been a nice easy way to make X applications without having to know xlib.
Ok I'll bite, might have some karma to burn. Isn't Delphi Dead?
My first task at the job I have now was to port some Windows Delphi code to linux. At first I thought, no sweat I can use Kylix.
In the end I came to the conclusion Delphi is dead on any platform and ended up rewriting it in C.
I guess it could still have life for legacy applications, but in this rapid multi-flavored world if a language is 100% stuck on 1 platform/OS it's more or less dead (excluding of course assembly which of course is arch specific).
I've always wondered why someone hasn't put up a huge server farm in places like Alaska or Russia. From my underestanding a big "cost" is in the cooling. If you can recycle outside air to keep the place cooler that's a free resource.
Some people say Assembly or the ghz war is over. But in some sectors they're still very important.
While it might be true, unless you're a gamer, a 1-2ghz machine is more than enough to do typical stuff like web/email/aim/etc. For people who do massive parallel processings tuning a specific function with inline assembly can potentially save you time.
Say you run a program on a 10 node cluster and it takes you 1 week to render a video or analyze some dataset. If there was a way to take your bottleneck functions and inline asm some of it to give you even 10% more efficiency, then you're looking at saving not only time but potentially a lot of money in electrical costs/cooling/etc.
Beside that there's always the embedded world. I wouldnt want to write a VB.net on a PIC chip;)
Can't you just do a traceroute on the IP that this info is being sent to? Seems this would be a nice way of figuring out where the info is going. Then blacklist it or possibly a range router side.
Does this apply even to stations that run regular Radio over the airwaves? You'd think they wouldnt have to double pay since they already pay royalties for the initial broadcast. Using the internet as a form of delivery I would think would be no different than using a repeater to extend range and "rebroadcast".
*shrug* definately sucks, but I'll stick with japan-a-radio:)
I used debian for years on my servers and desktop and really enjoyed it. Then one day I went to install a hauppauge video capture card and a couple other devices that aren't very standard. After weeks of recompiling the kernel, out-of-branch kernel sources, and various other things it became very tedious. A friend gave me an Ubuntu CD to try it out and everything just worked out of the box. Every piece of hardware was configured and working nicely out of the install, and the universe/multiverse feature was nice for getting things Debian normally doesn't carry.
So for now I prefer Ubuntu for the desktop, and Debian or Ubuntu for servers.
Just my oppinion, but I've had a couple friends switch over too because they wanted more bleeding edge software or wanting things to just work.

This'll be a much needed boost for us Linux users who want to help out Project Gutenburg.

Descendent and successor aren't the same thing. I'll concede to that. Didn't look at it that way.

I wonder if this will include the previous ports that ran under Mac and Linux.
