  1. Re:$1000 minimum bid! on "TV" TLD Sells For $50 Million · · Score: 1

    Also - it appears their email box will let you forward email to the same account - for example, email from asdf@asdf.tv can get forwarded to asdf@asdf.tv! I wonder what that'd do to their email servers (snicker, snicker).

    This is obscene - go to www.tv, and type in random gibberish in the box, and hit 'go'. They want $1000 per year for awweajthlkweajtlkj.tv! Dear lord!

    I'll help on this one - perhaps implement it in Mozilla as an option? Already IE uses the search tool in the address box - something like this for this?

    They do. It's a two step process.
    1. Find a FreeBe mirror. Download BeOS4Linux.tar.gz. Unpack. Make boot disk. Reboot with boot disk.
    2. Go to www.opera.com, and download Opera for BeOS beta 7.
    See, very simple.

    I find that my dual PII 400Mhz works just fine - use it for things like factorization, etc, and it's fast (as well as cheap - $120/processer, $170 for Tyan Tiger 100 mobo). If cost is your concern, try that.

    1. VMWare makes NT yell when I try and start it - it complains about not being on a multi-processor system (because I use a SMP kernel). Any way to fix this?

    2. VMware still won't run Be. How 'bout if they partner with Be to get Be running in VMware, or (better yet) port VMware to Be? (It'd be fast - darn fast.)

  17. Death of the internet as we know it? on The Internet-Have We Reached A Turning Point? · · Score: 1
    The person asking this seems to think that the internet is alive and well, just like it used to be. Not so. The internet is dead as we know it. It's been dead for a long time. I guess you could trace it back to the september that never ended.

    But that's not just it. It's been dead since e-commerce. It's been dead since gopher became dead. (Remember gopher?) It's been dead since when our little network got overwhelmed by everybody in the world.

    But that happened at different times to different people. To some, the internet might have died right at the start of the world wide web, when you could point-and-click the net. To others, it might be when companies really started getting on the 'net bandwagon. To others, it might be e-commerce.

    And yet the internet is also alive. It dies, and it reinvents itself. To those who think that regulation can control the internet, go open up a hotbot (or any other bad search engine), and search for warez. Found some? Good. Now repeat to your self, there will always be people who won't be controlled.

  18. No Title on National Association of Broadcasters Sues RIAA · · Score: 4
    Ok, does anybody understand the ideas behind the DMCA? It's digital, therefore it's bad - that's the idea, and that's what makes Internet brodcasting special. I suppose that if I wanted to, I could redirect an internet brodacast to a file, kill the ads, and listen at my pleasure. I wouldn't want to - it'd be crazy.


    On another note - I just thought of this - does the DMCA make broadcasting concerts over HDTV illegal or difficult, because it's digital quality? Just a thought.

    Ok - the point is not about calling communists communists. The point is that we have no right (nor should we care) to find out if they're communists. It's simply another political system, people. Flawed or not, we shouldn't persecute people as McCarthy did.

    Ok - I'll field this one. I'm not using R5 (only R4.5), but the problem is that there is nothing that taxes the BeOS anyway! Try running Linux on a P200 vs Be - it'll seem faster. But on my 2xPII 400Mhz, it doesn't seem substantially faster. Just for excersize, try playing MP3's on BeOS (with CLAmp) vs. on Linux - you'll see less CPU load. Other cool things are the multithreading - load an intensively tabled page in one net+ window, and the other doesn't lock up. Then when net+ segfaults (as it is wont to do), ignore the box and keep browsing.

    Well, have fun.
