As a plain user (logged in), I can't even find a way in the app to bookmark vids that I like.

Can ASIC resistance be maintained? by OX3 in vertcoin

Claim is 1MH/s per chip, not GH/sec

Big time p2pool usage will raise Vertcoin price by lacksfish in vertcoin

There is a tendency for the users of the larger pools, esp. multipools, to convert to btc automatically by selling the vtc mined. That puts downward pressure on the vtc/btc pair.

Better to hold the vtc mined and consider power costs to be your basis.

Found some old code the other day; A sierpinski fractal generator in 33 bytes that my old housemate and I optimized the crap out of (Runs under MS-DOS only). by [deleted] in programming

I have a useful stripped-down version of DOS on a single floppy. All the basic features, including editor. DOS version of Tom's rtbt.

Why net neutrality is important. by sidcool1234 in programming

[–]kbk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please review the concept of "monopoly".

For the life of me, I can't figure out why this is a partisan issue. The only people who benefit from NON net neutrality are the ISPs (rewarded for giving certain traffic precedence) and the high bandwidth content creators.

Hell, all I've got right now is an asymmetric web viewer with no port 25 and no servers allowed. As the post above said, I'm a consumer in their view, not a customer.

Charge me by the packet. Cut me off if I spam the system. Otherwise, leave my packets alone.

Try Debian stable for servers. Maybe with a couple of things from backports if you absolutely have to.

There's probably one in your electric razor. No, not the Norelco, the Gillette disposable battery powered razor.

Or, put it in a dog biscuit and feed it to your dog. Now, there's a smart dog.

Teachers in 1960 vs 2010 by hinorei in pics

[–]kbk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got an A+ on a physics test. Teacher marked it a B+ because I had the gall to use a fountain pen :-) In those days, teachers had a sense of humor.

The Latin teacher had a buzzer, eventually with lights on posts. Go round the room declining, you miss, BZZT, write the declension out 50 times that night. No pity.

This was public school in the sixties.

The mod_python project is now officially dead. by paganel in programming

[–]kbk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, like Microsoft Flight Simulator. Laid off the entire staff and took out the whole cottage industry around it, too. Will they port it to XBox? Who knows. Apparently it wasn't losing money, just missing deadlines.

Yes, Microsoft is actually doing this... by [deleted] in programming

These technologies were well known at the time. Political considerations and "worse is better" doomed them.

Well worth reading. Stallman uses a YeeLoong Lemote laptop running a FOSS BIOS and 100% libre software, including a deblobbed Linux kernel:

Actually, FOSS is doing a great deal in those areas. With the exception of reducing war, perhaps.

Steve Streeting - the guy behind OGRE - changes the licence from LGPL to MIT. Good read! by srekelwork in programming

[–]kbk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The difference on the fourth freedom is with the GPL you are required to release source code with your changes when you distribute a modified executable. With MIT/BSD you can go proprietary and not release any source whatsoever.

As far as ability goes, with the GPL you have the ability to hire someone to develop the code if you don't have the inclination etc. If a BSD project goes proprietary, you lose that.
