What is the Napster?(slightly offtopic(sorry!))

MP3 Jukebox That Rox

· Score: 1
For those of you who are like me and don't have some one to explain Napster is: An application much like well made hotline where users can trade mp3s or leech of other Mp3 traders while chatting and also includes it's own mp3 audio player (who cares?).. I have used it a little since this morning It's pretty impressive.. for more information vist Napster.com
Geeks and Nerds both are rapidly becoming "envogue" I mean look at Slashdot.org News for nerds with hundred thousands of people visiting every day practically accepting that they are Nerds? And aren't Nerds the negitive definition?
In movies the geeks and nerds always become the heros.. It started with the "Revenge of the Nerds" but even recently look at "Sleepy Hollow" wasn't Ichabod Crane some sort of Nerd...
Hell I am proud to be NERD.. And I am going to stop rambling.
I had the pleasure of ordering a ATI Rage Fury and a Nividia TNT 1 at the same time and running them to test them both on the same computer. Originally I was going to put the ATI In my prefered computer but was disappointed to discover that as much as the ATI Rage Fury had so many plus features and twice the memory the drivers were either not complete or the hardware was not as good as the TNT1.
I know what you might say: "Maybe your one card was bad..." I thought of that I ordered another one and had the same results.
The other thing was that It ran the first few months as the second closest thing to vapourware after Daikatana. The only people that could get a hold of them (after their release date) were people who review hardware.
Will the "New" ATi Rage Fury MAXX be the same story? If so then the niVidia GeForce will still be my First choice.
Conclusion: Wait till they both have been released. If you can get a hold of one for free test it and post your results for others to see. And for those who can't.. Check online before buying either.
Why make such a big deal about it? If it is free and open source and a good product then why should we care what the license is? Or is there something I am missing out.. I started using PHP3 since way back and I have used it in several hundred websites and will continue to use it even in the event that (God Forbid) I would have to pay for it.
Well What is profoundly strange is that Q3arena emailed me (I wrote the first review on Q3Ademo that was out there click here to read it) and announced that not everyone is able to acces their site at this point and to please promote their mirrors "untill the situation is further solved" which proves for me once again that linux servers are more relaible? Well maybe I think it just proves they don't have a very good Sysadmin.
In writing this article I was mostly asking questions to my readers and hoping they would post comments in response.
One thing to always remember is that making a HTML renderer can not be easy so we can almost be sure that no matter what we will have unhealthy browsers which crash frequently.
I personaly will not use IE mostly because I refuse to sell out to Microsoft all the way and with effecient testing and comparing of both 4.0 browsers Netscape ran faster and more reliable..
during these tests I also learned that running netscape and IE 4.0 on the Win 95 OSR2.5 Netscape will have a very unexplainable crash.. So naturally with my persecution complex I decide that MS was viciously and intentialy crashing my Netscape browser. But now with the release of the IE 5.0 I cannot rely any longer on the benchmarks which once were my standing ground.
And as I always end my comments.. Don't take my word for it. Test it your self. -------------------------------------------
Netscape Communications, Inc. announced 1999-11-09 that its much anticipated Netscape Navigator 5.0 will be available for trial later this month, the final version coming in February of 2000. With a beta version of Internet Explorer 5.5 coming soon, what will happen to Netscape? Is it too late? Is it the end of Netscape and esentially the browser wars? While we all may appreciate the concept of not having to deal with making a site compatible with both browsers, is it truly worth it? Without competition will IE become worse? Or will someone create a new and much more powerful browser (Opera?) Story taken from here! -------------------------------------------
Right! We use it a lot on our servers.. Also I wanted to make note of how late they are in doing this I mean look at NetAddress(USA.net) they have had it since.. Well as long as I can remember.. and that's a long time over 3 years. ------------------------------------------ -

What about the financial aspect of it £1,500 thats about $2494 USD at a maximum 10 slugs a minute?
P.S. Yes it's the revenge of the Britts... I get persecution from people everyday bitching at me about spelling things like "humour" and "Colour" and they all start the subject with Damn Britts.. ---------------------------------------- ---
Freshmeat does run on PHP3 as well as other sites such as Digital Theatre. Don't get me wrong I respect Larry Wall and all the perl team (and Randal L. Schwartz author of stuff I read:)) but....
While Perl is far better for parsing and regular expressions PHP3 is much nicer and closer to C than perl also it is a server side languague which makes it noticably faster and the database intergration is great compare it to the database intergration of Cold Fusion.
But I am not the only one that thinks that this is a great languague the estimated amount of servers using PHP should hit 1,000,000 this November which is a dramatic increase from the less than 80,000 when I started using it June 1998.
Conclusion: Don't stop using Perl but use PHP3 as well you will find them both usefull for different situations, if you visit dtheatre.com a good 20%+ of the first page is Perl generated and the rest is PHP3. -------------------------------------------

I run many high traffic sites including the one listed below and I have never had any problem with MySQL. I did start using PostgreSQL but I found MySQL to be more robust and just in general and much more plesant experience. I would have to recommend MySQL. Of course with very much larger projects I would recommend Oracle!. ---------------------------------------- ---
Not only is much of this information untrue but it is just plain horseshit(excuse the american).
For one thing: the 2 statments "Windows NT 4.0 Outperforms Linux On Common Customer Workloads" and "Linux Makes No Sense at the Desktop" are the only ones with any ounce of truth in them. these are true but the other features of Linux far out way these disadvantages.
The security issue they speak of is bullshit! Give me one hour and a computer and I will destroy your NT Server (and I am not a hacker) give me a linux computer and It's much harder.
"The Linux community likes to talk about Linux as a stable and reliable operating system, yet there is no real world data or metrics and very limited customer evidence to back up these claims." Prove otherwise.. then start to talk.
"Free Operating System Does Not Mean Low Total Cost of Ownership" Don't ask.... Sure there is some maintanence but come on to hire some one with a MSCE?
"Linux as a desktop operating system makes no sense. A user would end up with a system that has fewer applications" Even if this was true any linux user would have more applications because they can get them for free. On windows sure while you may have more applications, chances are you are going to jail for pirating software.
"Linux application support is very limited, meaning that customers end up having to build their own horizontal and vertical applications." *cough* -- WTF??
Now I am not going to talk about the benchmarks or I will never get back to work. But using common sense you will learn find many more ironic things that I missed out. -------------------------------------------
I love the idea of it! I spent many hours raising and breeding gerbils (minds off of Richard Gere!) and one day I was invited to a few TV shows where I raced Gerbils, met Miss America and made money and I always thought racing humans would be fun. But is there the issue of suffication for small children? --------------------------------------- ----
It was all a Joke some people started to prove the impact posting articles on the web has on people and the news and this story seemed applicable. I heard this from a very reliable source
It is rather sad that people can't take the time to weed out what is false and actualy take in what is true good and educating. -------------------------------------- -----

For those of you who are like me and don't have some one to explain Napster is:

Maybe I can stop send letters to my french relatives that say: "I am ambiguously gay" instead of "I love my brothers" etc...
Can you use them for storing normal data? Like say for an example I have 230 Mp3s can I put them on a DVD or is it only for Video?
Some other cool ones for health freaks like me are:
vitiamins.com $25(free shipping) off first purchase.. I bought all kinds of herbs..
mothernature.com $20($3.75 shipping) off firt purchase.. bought soaps toothbrush etc...
Geeks and Nerds both are rapidly becoming "envogue" I mean look at Slashdot.org News for nerds with hundred thousands of people visiting every day practically accepting that they are Nerds? And aren't Nerds the negitive definition?

Hell I am proud to be NERD.. And I am going to stop rambling.
I got my first computer when P-II was out so I was never explained what MMX really does for you.. Can anyone explain?
