  1. Re:This won't please YHWH/Allah/insert deity here on New Calendar Proposal · · Score: 1

    I could be cool and look it up, but assuming no day name changes are in the calendar of discord, starting a week on Sunday (as often represented at the first day of the week on most calendars of lesser suckage), the week will end on Thursday. And the Friday hot dog bun gets screwed up, I guess that was your point.

    Yeah, bye.

  4. Re:What a waste on CCC Mods Rent-a-Bike To Allow Free Rides · · Score: 1

    Well, bikes are sometimes not taken seriously.

    After having mine vandalized/stolen, and hearing all sorts of cute anecdotes about cars wreaking havok on bike lanes. I don't think they're feasable in the first place.

    On the other hand we have cars, which people take seriously mainly because they cost alot and commercials have programmed the masses to worship them. And theres a whole lot of law and business built up around them (we go to war to keep them fed! how about pumping half of that war fund into alternate energy research instead?).

  6. Re:Yes but... on High School Dropout, Self-Taught Chip Designer · · Score: 1

    So, design one! What?!? You can't?

    As I told the last respondant. I can, just hold your breath for a bit. :-)

    Actually I mention Amiga-on-a-chip because that was one of the Amiga's many unrealized future designs, that one being codenamed Hombre or somesuch.

    So STFU and stop denigrating someone else's accomplishments, even if it is "only" a C64 on a chip.

    Me, STFU? Well fsck you pebcak, and double dumbass on you. No, triple dumbass on you!

    Reality though, I wasn't claiming her work was uncool. I was responding to someone who inferred the act of fitting it all in a joystick was a feat. Which I'm pretty sure it wasn't hard to fit so many transistors in one unremarkably dense modern chip.

    I HATE seeing comments like this on Slashdot: "That wasn't so great - this would be better... I can't do it myself, but it would still be better".

    WTF is that all about, anyway?


    I dunno, its not my comment, ask the person who wrote it.

    I'm wondering why so many people are picking the darkest light to read my messages in. Do I need more smiley emoticons in my messages or something? :-)

    Yes, C64s are such hugely complicated devices...

    I'm still waiting for an Amiga on a chip.

  10. Re:Knoppix on Sought for MGM v. Grokster: Non-Infringing P2P Use · · Score: 1

    Sadly I only tend to download Debian ISOs in more emergencyish situations, last time was a few years ago. Apt-get pulls what is needed through http/ftp after that.

    I am overjoyed about there being ISO torrents for Debian. I just find Debian is too stable for me to have need for it. (also, much of my bandwidth is going towards seeding Knoppix right now, though I haven't tried the new version yet)

    Why do you hate jigdo so much?

    Why do you think I hate it so much?

    I've simply never gone out of my way to use it. And I do not plan to in the future.

    It is overspecialized, and I haven't looked at how secure it is.

  12. Re:new protocol for heavily loaded websites? on Sought for MGM v. Grokster: Non-Infringing P2P Use · · Score: 1

    Well, as long as the browser can auto-stop seeding at a user controllable ratio...

    No, inlining torrent contents doesn't make enough sense...

    Also, bittorrent://http://mywebsite/myimage.torrent, UGLY!

  13. Re:BT has a valid use, for example. on Sought for MGM v. Grokster: Non-Infringing P2P Use · · Score: 1

    I assume then they were not putting much bandwidth into the torrent themselves...

    If they have the servers/bandwidth to normally distribute it, the torrenting should be no worse than that.

  14. Re:FreeAudio.org .... on Sought for MGM v. Grokster: Non-Infringing P2P Use · · Score: 1

    I'd recommend you set up a bittorrent tracker specifically for your audio books, especially since most indexing sites are under legal attack. BNBT is a common choice. (trackers take a fairly small amount of bandwidth, and once you have that, there will be little in the way of distributing many huge copies with negligible effort)

    I'd also suggest offering alternative formats, Ogg Speex would be killer, Ogg Vorbis would be decent too.

    There are very few formats that could be worse than MP3 I think...

    Unless the cores are unbearbly slow the kernel just needs support for multiple cores. Being effectively seperate CPUs, kernel is already there. Its just a matter of whatever app you're doing using enough threads to keep them all busy.

    Just watch, it'll go fairly smoothly.
