  3. hubris is good company on Everyone Still Rumbling About PS3 · · Score: 1

    it's good to see sony playing in the same league as the sega saturn, and the cd-i. consoles that we have all owned and appreciated. bastions of popular gaming culture.

    that is a very paypal-esque philosophy....

  5. Re:Too much praise... on Indie Podcasters vs. Big Radio · · Score: 1

    and the ITMS top 20 is not a function of the most overall subscribed to feeds, it is weighted for speed of adoption for new feeds, and other sundry variables.

    Now we are in for a week of Adam Curry simultaneously taking credit for and bemoaning this development.
    Still I listen to each new episode....

  7. Re:The irony of podcasting on Indie Podcasters vs. Big Radio · · Score: 1

    it is more that most people wouldn't be able distinguish between a their own ass and a hole in the ground, much less an indie podcast vs a clearchannel one. (besides the obvious polis and production value differences. to the average consumer, what does content matter when wighed agains slick unintrusive production?

  14. the flaw in his teaching: on Can a Bayesian Spam Filter Play Chess? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    the author should have the spam filter analyze the games in reverse (from victory to beginning). that would probably produce better results. of course the spam filter would need to handle more than 7 moves out.

  15. From the article on Microsoft's 10-year-old Certified Professional · · Score: 2, Funny

    "The type of thinking that goes into correctly answering those questions is pretty mature. ... Microsoft certifications are not a joke -- they're highly respected in the industry." ... seriously, i can't figure out what industry they are talking about.

  17. Re:Html over torrent? Bad idea. on Opera Embedding BitTorrent Client · · Score: 1

    1. TMK the size of a torrent file is static, and handled on the server side. 2. things can always improve. and while not reasonable for a site like slashdot (with the exception of the slashdot effect being rendered null since everyone would have the site linked to in their cache and therefore shareable) a site like the aforementioned 4chan which traffics in large images and already suffers lag because of bandwidth choking (and great monitary burdens) and I am willing to hazzard a guess that the denizenz of a board like that would absolutely love waiting 3 more seconds for the page to load if it meant the board didn't die in a weeks time.

  18. Re:html over torrent? on Opera Embedding BitTorrent Client · · Score: 1

    that's for the high end programmers to worry about. but considering most of the images are cached on all of anonymous' hard disks, and while /b/ turns over quickly, an image still stays active for a good 45 minutes minimum. this is obviously a far off technolog that incorporates a far more dynamic protocol than simply bittorrent

  19. Re:A little early, boys and girls. on DVD-Audio's CPPM Circumvented · · Score: 1

    and it will be anothe challenge. they have to be surpassing any possible return on their investments.

  20. Re:Let me get this straight on Opera Embedding BitTorrent Client · · Score: 0

    well there goes my karma for posting in sleep dep mode. by html i meant whole webpages. the bandwidth that pours thorugh a site like http://www.4chan.org/ is entirely in image files, and very expensive, especially compared the the minimal size of a .torrent file. speaking in purely hypothetical example here, a site could be generated with an image tag pointing to img.torrentjpg, and the browser could dynamically download the file from the peers and server it up for others (especially with decentralized tracking gaining use). kind of like http://www.akamai.com/ for the common man with at focus on bandwidth savings rather than fast distrubution.

  21. html over torrent? on Opera Embedding BitTorrent Client · · Score: 3, Interesting

    this is just one step closer to the dream of webpages being served as torrents. Imagine the benefit to mid level, and non commercial websites. http://www.4chan.org/ comes to mind as a major benefactor.

    wasn;t tor developed by the navy? far be it from me to question their motives... all i can say is i don't know enough about programming to self audit the source code for any leaks or backdoors. so all i have to go on is their word.
