Living Room / Re: Why does it say paper jam when there is no paper jam?!
« Last post by mouser on November 27, 2008, 04:10 PM »
how many times do i have to warn you people!

you have to scour your posts with a fine tooth comb -- go over every word multiple times -- read it aloud to yourself -- get your friends to proof read it, and only then is it safe to post and have even a slim chance of escaping Chris' pun processing machine.

Not a problem -- money is not the most important thing in the world -- and agentseal clearly was not motivated at all by a hope for money.  Different people can show their appreciation in different ways, according to their means and their desires  :Thmbsup:

UrlSnooper / Re: Sporting News Radio and Rivals Radio

Rivals radio doesnt play any sound for me, but url snooper finds a url that net transport is happy to record:
mms://a700.l1271038699.c12710.n.lm.akamaistream.net/D/700/12710/v0001/reflector:38699

« Last post by mouser on November 26, 2008, 04:50 PM »
url snooper returns: http://provisioning....ORTINGNEWSDIALUP.asx
if you paste that into a streaming recorder like Net Transport, it will find:
mms://208.80.52.38:3690/SPORTINGNEWSDIALUP
which it can record (rename file to .asx after recording to play).

The audio is very stuttery, i'm not sure why.. perhaps net transport is not recording it properly..

Find And Run Robot / Re: Unicode??
« Last post by mouser on November 26, 2008, 03:56 PM »
F0dder is basically summing up the debate.. which is the kind of debate that all such projects have to go through periodically.. which is:

At what point should you do a rewrite, vs. trying to patch in major changes.

Right now FARR is showing it's age -- there are soo many things that were learned over the SEVEN years since the first release of FARR, that it would really be nice to rewrite it from scratch, but that's a big project.

But adding something like unicode is likely to cause all sort of rippling effects in terms of plugins, etc., that it would be hard to patch something like that in.

HOWEVER, as czb suggested, it may be possible to come up with some kind of minor changes that would solve 90% of the problem while being short of converting to true unicode support.. and that might be worth looking into.

that is evil.
it also just reaffirms my recommendation to stay away from dual booting / multibooting loaders.

hang in there nudone -- don't dispair.. hopefully the data is all mirrored.  if not you might still be able to get the drive partition back -- just dont do any more writing to that hard drive.

Developer's Corner / Blog Essay: Why does failure inspire some and demoralize others?
« Last post by mouser on November 25, 2008, 08:24 AM »
I love this excerpt from a book on why it's important how you explain "failures" to yourself:

...Some of the children who put forth lots of effort didn’t make attributions at all. These children didn’t think they were failing. Diener puts it this way: “Failure is information—we label it failure, but it’s more like, ‘This didn’t work, I’m a problem solver, and I’ll try something else.’” During one unforgettable moment, one boy—something of a poster child for the mastery-oriented type—faced his first stumper by pulling up his chair, rubbing his hands together, smacking his lips and announcing, “I love a challenge.”

Living Room / Re: A fork in the road - dangers of web services
« Last post by mouser on November 25, 2008, 05:37 AM »
Not only is it a valid concern, but it's a business model.

This is one of the reasons why people like me are extremely reluctant to use these (often) free web services.. the prospect of them closing up shop and leaving you and your data in limbo seems quite high -- and it seems like it's often part of the business model.

Basically a company creates a web service and get as many people using it as possible by keeping it free.  [as a side note, make sure to call it "In Beta" forever so no one can complain about anything] They don't worry about profits yet.  Then at some point they say we have all these users, now is there a way to make a profit on it -- via advertising or whatever.  If not, then just close up shop and move on.  And the user is out of luck.

jgpaiva,
there are 2 different things.

There are ANCHORS, which allow people to link to a specific headline item.  those make sense.
Then there is the fact that each bulleted headline is a LINK to itself.. which is pointless.

if you are hearing the sound, then it is working.
have you selected the "New" group?  Can you see the list of new items?
have you cleared the quick filter/search box at the top?

Having all new posts having to go through moderator = bad idea.
did anyone suggest that?

the various ideas as i saw them were:
  • wikify post changes -- my favorite
  • disable editing a post after 24 hours -- with mods being able to reset the time limit on request
  • leave everything as is

give us the url to the sporting news and we can look also.

URL snooper does not work well on some flash media streams because they use a different mechanism than others.
