Developer's Corner / Re: Tiny 'Touch' 32 bits program in C (3 kb)
« Last post by mouser on October 01, 2006, 07:52 AM »
gerome please try to be more reasonable!  8)

actually Jibz' explanation was a great one I thought (regarding why anything but 0 is used to represent different error codes).

but regardless, this is just one of those cases where it's silly to go against the standard.  return codes can actually be used by other programs and i don't see a good reason not to follow convention.  just follow in the good hacker tradition and write a curse-filled paragraph in the readme about how you disagree with the standard, and then implement the standard :)

First go into "Advanced mode" from the File menu, so you can see the General Options tab.

The very first checkbox at top left of General Options tab is "Auto determine Network Adapter on Startup", so uncheck that.
then set the network adapter below.

Try that and let me know (make sure you have latest version of url snooper also of course :)

i've heard about this and i'm going to have to explore this problem.
can you try this:
go to advanced mode, disable automatic network adapter detection and set your card manually, and see if it can sniff urls as normal.

Living Room / Re: How DIGG Gets Everything Backwards.. And How to Fix It
« Last post by mouser on September 30, 2006, 05:03 AM »
by transparent/accountable inthe framework is discuss above i am specifically referring to:
1) you could see all decisions made by expert representatives/editors (ie which submitted stories they rejected, voted for or against).
2) expert editors might be subject to election.

see above #11 (A Representative Elected Body of Expert Voters)

im not sure we want to go that far with out reviews, but that was the point i was trying to make in terms of differences with my proposed model vs. slashdot.

rather than try to make the wallpapers fit everyones desktop, i think the solution is for people to use these as screensaver images when they dont fit as wallpapers.  we need to make some free screensaver "packages" for these.

the main difference with slashdot is that slashdot is not transparent or accountable.  plus they have bad taste (imho).

i'm not really advocating a dramatic change - it's more that i am advocating for a sort of traditional middle level role for editors, but tweaking the methods for which ideas are submitted (ie a much more bottom-up accountable, trackable system by which story ideas percolate up), and methods by which editors are chosen and evaluated.

this is sort of where i think we are going with the idea of the new review section by the way..

Living Room / Re: How DIGG Gets Everything Backwards.. And How to Fix It
« Last post by mouser on September 30, 2006, 04:13 AM »
all great points..
i think of particular relevance is this point:
Just remember that Average Joe seems pretty happy with Digg so really what you're trying to do is convince people that the "exciting, hip, new "unbiased", people-driven way of finding news" is wrong, and that's hard work.

i claim digg is totally fuxored and manipulated and susceptible to stupid fads, and does not do a good job at locating "good sites" as opposed to "good sounding titles".  and again by "good sites" i mean what i say above: "I define a "good" story as one which is considered good by those actually take the time to read the stories and have some interest in the subject area, as opposed to stories which simply sound appealing based on their title.  "

so i'm advocating a model for those who actually care about finding the good articles.  in other words, if you are looking for a car, do you want the car with the best name, spokesperson, and marketing campaign, or the car that looks+drives best and has best service?

if your answer is the latter, then i suggest digg is not what you want.

if i want a recommendation for what car to buy, i want to base it on reviews of people who know cars, not by holding up the marketing brochure and asking the votes of a room full of people who like to answer surveys but have never driven a care, combined with paid shills for the car companies .

can i just make sure you guys when you say "erase archive" you are making sure the archive gets deleted to the recycle bin until you are REALLY sure everything is working as planned - i'd hate to see someone end up wiping their drive by using this incorrectly.. please make sure you are doing any checks possible to avoid mistakenly deleteing huge amounts because of user error.

thesage (http://www.sequencep...ing.com/thesage.html)
is really starting to look good as a dictionary, and also has thesaurus functions:

but i still prefer mobysaurus (http://www.mobysaurus.com) for pure thesaurus stuff:
