However, it looks like I'll need to use my Windows box because the tarball wasn't available for Linux when I checked, and the samples wouldn't run on Linux.Ummm...-Renegade (April 21, 2011, 08:01 PM)
Start Sample-Launcher.exe with double-click under Windows or with
> mono Sample-Launcher.exe
in a Linux X-terminal.
We'll probably see a lot of interesting schemes where you're still on IPv4, but are able to access IPv6 HTTP servers through proxies.You can do that today, with a tunnel broker:-f0dder (April 12, 2011, 10:44 PM)
And other ISP's offer no direct IPv6 access but instead hide that from the consumer by putting up a NAT between their networks and the real world, supplying a local IPv4 only...That actually is the way many private intranets would work (for a while anyways) so it wouldn't be a disadvantage unless bandwidth became a problem.-Ath (April 13, 2011, 01:56 AM)

+1 on Dobson. Especially that first song. His time is so dead-on it's almost unreal. You could calibrate a metronome off his beat it's so precise. Amazing! Love to play a 'long set' with that guy someday.-40hz (April 08, 2011, 06:47 AM)
(Are those military and Ninja costumes in reference to the Vietnam War? Or Free Tibet...or a MMORPG character...or something? Anybody know whats up with that?)
My only regret is that Alan Turing isn't alive today as he proved mathematically that all computers (however large and complex) are all functionally equivalent to a "Turing Machine". If he had patented it and sued MS and Apple tactics he would now wipe the flaw with all computer manufacturers.

Looks like somebody found a business use for it's wisdom.-40hz (April 05, 2011, 09:04 AM)
@Josh:
A lie? Why is that? Sometimes you are a pure source of usefullnes (e.g. when you recommend myBase which i immediately purchased when i tried it after your suggestion on the forum) and sometimes you are a pure riddle for me.
Roughly translates to "your promised reward is merely a fictitious motivator".
Popularized by the game "Portal" (found on Half-Life 2's "Orange Box" game release for PC, X-Box 360, and PS3).
During the game, an electronic voice encourages you to solve intricate puzzles using cake as a motivating perk.
When you have "broken out" of the game's initial testing phase (from threat of death), you find scrawls on walls of the innards of the testing center warning you that "the cake is a lie".
It's friday.

I'm trying to have respect for the girl mousey, but other than TGIF I see zero appeal about that clip. The post-production that warps her voice grates my ears, the lyrics are horribly repetitive and the visuals itself are pretty plain.. so the only thing I can really respect her for is that she's not bouncing around like a girl who got lost on her way to the pool.
Now this is some epic music: clickety.-worstje (March 25, 2011, 07:07 AM)
Ugh, mouser!
After watching ~10 seconds of that video, I needed a healthy dose of Suicide Commando. Unfortunately I couldn't find any interesting videos to link to, but F*** You B**** would've been pretty appropriate - or perhaps Bind, Torture, Kill-f0dder (March 25, 2011, 09:37 AM)
