Opensource Windows
What?
Nothing.
It's Tom's hardware guide to Open Source dietary supplement for Windows. When the built in Windows version of an app sucks (MSPaint anyone?), there probably a good OpenSource or free replacement. I'll have to check one or two of those.

What you should do or avoid
What you should do or avoid to get a good deal or ripped off when buying a car. My opinion is that you really should hang on to your car as long as you can. It is probably going to cost less than the payments on a new one. But what do I know?

Madness? What madness?
In the shouldn't you just be using it? department, it appears that users of Apple iPod Nano (a named easily derided a iPod no no) are more concerned by the eagerness of their device to be scratched than the dire lack of feature of their music player. Just google it. Some actually go to great length to restore the lost shine of their (several) iPod devices. See here. I know, it is not a new phenomenon. It's just worse now as the iPod ownership turn closer into a mainstream religion, soon, everyone will forget that the device can actually be used to listen to music.
I don't have an iPod, I guess I'm kind of an outCast. But I do have an mp3 player. That also doubles as a voice recorder. And an FM radio. And can also record from the radio. Is mass storage device compliant. USB 2.0. Yeah, it's also smaller than a pack of gum, but it has a screen too. I don't really care for WMA support though, because it implies evil MS DRM. Good old mp3 will do. Ok, I admit, my player is all scratched too, but it still plays music, and you can't hear the scratches, I promise!

We need more of that kind of thinking
This designer is putting some thought in the interface that control things. She does it with the elderly/handicaped in mind, but I think this can be brought to the people too. There is no reason not to want simple to understand, simple to use things. Blinking time on the VCR anyone?

Wow, this actually could work
A long long long time ago, I started this dumb little posting tool that's just supposed to edit some text (with a rich text control) and hacked up rtf to html code of my own. The posting is just an email to the mail2blogger email.
I did not realize I was actually done, and I had never used it. It's not fancy by any means, but it gets the work done. My next step is gonna be to try it out on Mac and Linux with a recent version of mono.

Cogito ecto sum
Or ergo. This post highlights my test of ecto, available at http://ecto.kung-foo.tv/. So far, I'm not sure I really like it. Sure I like the fact there is a Windows and Mac version. I'm not crazy about the idea of paying for both versions. There's no Linux version either and that's kind of a bummer. No WYSIWYG editor either, what is this, 1995? Frontpage 1.0? Maybe for my needs I should stick to an email client and the auto post interface of Blogger... ¶ 11:39 AM 0 comments

Icky details
From the icky details of commercial profiling: how the recording industry shamelessly analyzes p2p download to slice and dice the market in ever smaller buckets. Bottom line: more of the same crap on the radio, pushed down your throats. Hurray. I don't listen to music on the radio, thanfully.

Now that sounds like a good idea!
Been missing a good DVD ripper for Linux or Mac, so I can rip with my idle Linux box (and not crash my windows machine once in a while, crappy windows!) Hopefully it works better than Drip (And I don't mean Drip does not work well, I mean it is totally impossible to even install)

How about this?
I'll be talking to you, having a convincing conversation, but I'll be lying to your face. And you will know it. It will be obvious, yet, you won't get upset. I'll make claims that are doubtful, yet you will still want to believe me.
Does not sound like it could happen, right? Ok, I'll be talking to you but I'll have a little pin on my jacket that says: "What I am saying actually does not happen often."
Still not convinced? Try this as a tv commercial. The lose weight in your sleep kind. Unrealasitic claims and testimonial on how easy it is and how it works like magic. Unfortunately: results not typical. That's the little pin on the jacket. ¶ 12:51 PM 0 comments

Apparently alot of investors have not taken physics 101. But I'll spare the audience a pedantic lecture about conservation of energy and entropy. But there is a simple somewhat accurate description:Well, yeah, that was a totally pointless exercise. Vain attempt at education. ¶ 11:59 PM 0 comments
Fuel cell create electricity by combining hydrogen (pure hydrogen) from a tank and oxygen from the air (plenty of it for free around us) and it form water. Good old H2O. Or summarized, like this:
Hydrogen + Oxygen => Water + Energy (electric energy here)
It turns out the this is reversible. To get hydrogen from water, just apply energym and miracle, you get Hydrogen and Oxygen (and not for free, you spent some electricity doing that)
Then it is pretty obvious that any scheme proposing to power a car by storing WATER in a tank will obviously NEED ANOTHER SOURCE OF ENERGY to get the hydrogen out of the water to be used. Whatever smoke screen of catalyst and faux scientifistic principle is presented. It's bad science.
It's like claiming you have an internal combustion engine that runs on exhaust fume. Well that's not possible.
There are zillions of chemical reaction that will lead to the production of hydrogen (chemistry 101, metal + acid => salt + hydrogen) but the energy comes from the chemical reaction. HYDROGEN HAS TO COME FROM SOMEWHERE.
Thank you for letting me rant. I've read so many inept comment about how Hydrogen I just had to vent a little.

Portable Linux on my Thumbdrive.
I'm a big fan of Make and an even better fan of their blog (helped by the fact that Philip Torrone maintains it). I recently got my attention grabbed by this post showing this one (furry goat, haha): transport your own Windows CE image and emulator along on your thumbdrive. Wherever you go, just pop in your thumbdrive and you see all your apps, bookmark and whatnot.
Only problem: it's Windows CE. Designed for PDAs and mobile devices, won't run anything but CE apps. Especially won't run Firefox. And also there is the (not even asked) question of licensing. I'm too lazy too dig, but I'm pretty sure Microsoft did not intend their emulator to be used in that fashion.
It's a cool idea though. So I just wanted to roll my own. From what I did, it seems even simpler than the Windows CE version.
Step 1: aquire software.
I mean, download software. You need:
Step 2: configure and install.
Unpack your QEMU somewhere. Use the qemu-img.exe command to create a file for the hard disk image. I successfully fit a DSL install in 150 MB. It's pretty tight though, I have only 10MB left after install. I named my file c.img.
You should also have the DSL iso handy. I suggest that you copy it in the qemu folder for convenience. Mine is named dsl-1.5.iso. You only need it there for installation. Open a command prompt and start the emulation with this:
qemu.exe -L . -m 192 -hda c.img -cdrom dsl-1.5.iso -boot d -enable-audio -localtime
See the qemu doc for the meaning of it. -m 192 is the amount of memory to use for the guest OS. Obviously should be adjusted according the the amount of physical memory you have.
If everything goes well, DSL should boot and you should be looking at some X desktop. Open an xterm there (as root, just spend a minute getting familiar with the shell. Right click on the desktop, that's pretty much all you need to know). You need to create a partition on you virtual hard disk. Use fdisk for that. If you don't know how what or why, google it. star fdisk like this:
fdisk /dev/hda
Then at the prompt, it's probably a similar series of command like this (from memory) n, p, 1,, , w. This should create a new primary partition named hda1, filling the entire space of the virtual disk.
Then run the dsl installer:
dsl-hdinstall
And follow the onscreen instructions. At the end of the installation, you should just close the emulated os. Relaunch qemu without the cd image.
qemu.exe -L . -m 192 -hda c.img -boot c -enable-audio -localtime
And then finish the install. With hat last command, I also created a batch file so I just double click to launch the emulation. You can also remove the dsl-1.5.iso as this time.
There you have it. A fully emulated OS. Portable. Litterally. Copy the qemu folder on your thumb drive and you are good to go.

Step 1: aquire software.
I mean, download software. You need:
- - Qemu but in my case, I really wanted the Windows port. So I grabbed it from here: http://www.h6.dion.ne.jp/~kazuw/qemu-win/qemu-0.7.1-windows-1.zip
- - Any distribution of linux you like. Obviously, I wanted something that would fit nicely on my USB drive (it's only 2GB). I picked DSL. Stands for Damn Small Linux.
Step 2: configure and install.
Unpack your QEMU somewhere. Use the qemu-img.exe command to create a file for the hard disk image. I successfully fit a DSL install in 150 MB. It's pretty tight though, I have only 10MB left after install. I named my file c.img.

QEMU
I'll keep an eye on this one. Qemu is a PC (or other) emulator. It looks like it works better than Bochs, which I never could manage to make work on Windows (even though it worked quite well on my iBook, only very slow). This sounds much better, even if it looks French. And it also emulates other architecture. As in a shitload of other CPUs, emulated or hosts. Worth a look.

I'm pretty sure this forum is used for CG artists to get good ego boosts. For most of them, it is quite well deserved. I'm just windering if all of them own the work they show. Some are obviously commercial and it is quite surprising those individuals post their work there. In any case, most are awesome!

From the amazing world of the appallingly stupid

Yet another good reason not to buy a lexmark printer. Sometimes I wish some somanies would sink and die. But for this one I also wished everyone would forget it even existed.
Bottom line: don't buy a lexmark printer. Lexmark sucks. ¶ 7:58 PM 0 comments

Some people.
Some people are just so good at what they do. And they share it with the world.

Opensource hinders police investigation
Gee, that's a load of whine:
http://news.com.com/2100-7348-5845409.html?tag=tb
So please be kind to those officers that are out to get you, use IE because it's easier for them to gather evidence against you. Using your own computer. Don't get me wrong: criminals deserve to be busted, but the law and their officer really need to be on top of their game. Especially when they whine about Firefox. Last time I checked, Firefox was opensource, available to anyone and I don't see why it is harder to figure out the format for the cache and history.
Hopefully, criminals won't use a Linux box or worse, a Mac.
"Now, how do you turn this thing on?"

Late night posts are not the best one.
I'll try to make this a short run. I'm just watching TV again. Gee. What a waste. You'd think that after year 2000, advertisers would have a better way to profile me. Here it is: male, 32, married. System Analyst. Computer geek. With just that information, the mighty ad computer system could just (correctly) guess that I never, ever, ever want to see tv ads in the following categories:

System Analyst. Computer geek. With just that information, the mighty ad computer system could just (correctly) guess that I never, ever, ever want to see tv ads in the following categories:
- Feminine Hygiene products in general, and especially tampons. Even if they are unbelievable easy to glide in. Guessed from I'm a man
- Kids junk. But especially diapers. I do not care for the fetish of kids'shit. Guessed from computer geek. Man.
- Phone meeting local hot chicks service. Dude, even if I was not married, this has to be the lamest most loser service thing.
- Dialup internet services. Neither Netscape, Netzero, PeoplePC, AOL, MSN and all the other losers. btw, this is the 21st century. Save the dialup for other countries. Yes, I already have broadband.
- Insurance companies. Because, really, claiming that you're the cheapest service around 24/7 on tv doesn't mean you are the cheapest. And people just won't shop for insurance unless they really have to. Give us a break. Take a hike. Save on advertisement and post a slightly higher profit for your shareholders. And fuck the lizard PR as well.
