  2. hahah interesting process there. But it sounds about right. As stated before in my post, don't really have a problem with content on the show (although, getting a programmer in to do the odd segment would be nice. I liked Johns little php segments.It would be good to get that going again), as long as it stays varied. Some things I like some things I do not. But that's just me, another person may hate the things I like (wierdos). For example a segment on vbs scripting and 2003 server would make me commit seppuku, but for other people it would be quite interesting... you get my point. Maybe you should implement a show poll for each episode on the download page, that would give you a better idea of how you're doing. Downloads (assuming you use this method) are not always the best way. Me I generally rate your shows using the following scientific notation: meh, awesome, awesomer, awesomerer, awesomererer. As for the list of segments I like, I usually comment on the show thread. This is just me saying: 'hey you, read my mind and only produce segments that I like.'. Perfectly reasonable. Just remember, most, if not all of the people who have taken time to comment on this thread love the show and the crew. I hope you guys aren't taking this stuff to heart. ah.. of course you're not :) p.s As for InDigital. Nah, it wasn't a knock, I just used them as an example to illustrate one of the ways a show could go. Wasn't criticizing them in the slightest in that post. p.p.s InDigital did bore me to tears though. See that was a knock. :) No, but seriously ( I can be serious, honest) different strokes for different folks. p.p.p.s mmm noodles.
  3. I agree. It's good to see how people have grown knowledge wise... viewers and crew. I suppose has to remember (especially me! ;) ) that viewers to the show comprise of many different levels of expertise. So segments that I would consider dumbed down fluff are valid and necessary. Just, don't do to many of them ;) The proof is in the puddin'
  4. Yea, it has been guess. It's been a bunch of peaks and troughs. Thing is though, the troughs have generally been to do with lack of money, people leaving, lack of time etc... From what I can see I the general ethos hasn't changed that much. There hasn't been a 'hey we're going to be like InDigital!' sort of thing. I from what i've read, don't think there will be. Could be wrong though What do you think Vako, you've been lurking here since year dot?
  5. If it's possible, get a university degree (i know you have to be pretty well off in the States to get one). Work in a start up. Learn the proper way.. then specialise. This is when you take a night course to get those other bits of papers. Bits of paper with no experience equals very expensive toilet paper.
  6. The firefox V8 js engine is supposed to faster at the moment...: http://arstechnica.com/journals/linux.ars/...than-chromes-v8 meh, it's good times in the browser market
  7. Sounds like this leaks DRM juice.. USB/cds/dvds/// how long do these things last... one can play music produced in the 1930's, will the same be said of this stuff?..
  8. Or clowns playing tennis. Sick bastards.
  9. Pfft who cares. :'( i'm just sad because I haven't been able to download it
  10. Good link. edit: is just ... I don't have the words.. loving the sim card stuff though. As for the rev3 stuff: A lot of their content apes exactly what I hated about normal t.v. Not interesting. Diggnation is ok though. hak.5 rev3 love in: With Wess now 'officially' gone, I hope the show keeps improving. The rapport Darren and Wess had was a *major* factor in the success of the show. This rapport needs to be reproduced somehow. Also remember that it is a fine line between a hacker show and tech magazine show. I'm sure it'll be all good though...
  11. I'd avoid the subversion build for a while too. Lots of crashes. Use the stable source, if compiling.
  12. So one can basically install any L.S.B compliant O.S, then add whatever window manager you want? Is everything on the eee detected out of the box?
  13. hasn't this already been done? .... meh it's all good.
  14. Where there is water, there may be life as we know it; microbes and the like.I think that's the important thing to take out this. Rather than how can we exploit it.
  15. TUCSON, Ariz. -- Laboratory tests aboard NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander have identified water in a soil sample. The lander's robotic arm delivered the sample Wednesday to an instrument that identifies vapors produced by the heating of samples. "We have water," said William Boynton of the University of Arizona, lead scientist for the Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer, or TEGA. "We've seen evidence for this water ice before in observations by the Mars Odyssey orbiter and in disappearing chunks observed by Phoenix last month, but this is the first time Martian water has been touched and tasted." With enticing results so far and the spacecraft in good shape, NASA also announced operational funding for the mission will extend through Sept. 30. The original prime mission of three months ends in late August. The mission extension adds five weeks to the 90 days of the prime mission. "Phoenix is healthy and the projections for solar power look good, so we want to take full advantage of having this resource in one of the most interesting locations on Mars," said Michael Meyer, chief scientist for the Mars Exploration Program at NASA Headquarters in Washington. The soil sample came from a trench approximately 2 inches deep. When the robotic arm first reached that depth, it hit a hard layer of frozen soil. Two attempts to deliver samples of icy soil on days when fresh material was exposed were foiled when the samples became stuck inside the scoop. Most of the material in Wednesday's sample had been exposed to the air for two days, letting some of the water in the sample vaporize away and making the soil easier to handle. "Mars is giving us some surprises," said Phoenix principal investigator Peter Smith of the University of Arizona. "We're excited because surprises are where discoveries come from. One surprise is how the soil is behaving. The ice-rich layers stick to the scoop when poised in the sun above the deck, different from what we expected from all the Mars simulation testing we've done. That has presented challenges for delivering samples, but we're finding ways to work with it and we're gathering lots of information to help us understand this soil." Since landing on May 25, Phoenix has been studying soil with a chemistry lab, TEGA, a microscope, a conductivity probe and cameras. Besides confirming the 2002 finding from orbit of water ice near the surface and deciphering the newly observed stickiness, the science team is trying to determine whether the water ice ever thaws enough to be available for biology and if carbon-containing chemicals and other raw materials for life are present. The mission is examining the sky as well as the ground. A Canadian instrument is using a laser beam to study dust and clouds overhead. "It's a 30-watt light bulb giving us a laser show on Mars," said Victoria Hipkin of the Canadian Space Agency. A full-circle, color panorama of Phoenix's surroundings also has been completed by the spacecraft. "The details and patterns we see in the ground show an ice-dominated terrain as far as the eye can see," said Mark Lemmon of Texas A&M University, lead scientist for Phoenix's Surface Stereo Imager camera. "They help us plan measurements we're making within reach of the robotic arm and interpret those measurements on a wider scale." The Phoenix mission is led by Smith at the University of Arizona with project management at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., and development partnership at Lockheed Martin in Denver. International contributions come from the Canadian Space Agency; the University of Neuchatel, Switzerland; the universities of Copenhagen and Aarhus in Denmark; the Max Planck Institute in Germany; and the Finnish Meteorological Institute.

  17. When it comes down to it, females and males are the same. We both want the same thing, it's just the lies we tell ourselves that differ. Sometimes we (as in male and females) want a deep and meaningful relationship and sometimes we just want to umm.. you know. Anyone who says they're only into one or the other is lying. The basic rule is when you speak to opposite sex, don't pretend to be something you're not. That way you're more relaxed. The conversation will flow. If it doesn't meh, move on. Foul language edit: mine gud! Think of the children!.
  18. You could always use the free edition and tunnel it via ssh until you figure out what's going on.
  19. As a Londoner - the home of the modern UK pirate station (a bit of not so subtle trolling there) there are still loads of them. When I was I younger they were the only source of information about nights out, music etc.. that I and many others bothered with. I'm sure it's still the same. If you're not into rock and/or pop there are no other stations.
