Multiseat is a dirty hack. It is about using software to build a terminal out of a random collection of screens and input devices. All it has really done is give us yet another "session" to mentally track, in the form of consoleki

Unix have all kinds of funny things if all happens within a single box. If you want to send someone a message, there is write (if the person have mesg set to yes). There is also talk, but it requires its own daemon. Seriously, _nix started

Samba is a "mess" because anything Microsoft is a mess to be compatible with if you are not MS. That said, sharing files across networks is a hell all its own. In particular if you want something to just automagically appear in so

The process Google has set up is an outcome of DCMA, because Youtube can only operate as long as they can claim DCMA "safe harbor" status.

Yep. You do not have an account on each, you have a Google account that allows you to access all of google's services. And once it is closed, it is game over. Most people didn't notice this until G+ hit the net, and some kids used

Err, when it didn't get the outcome the brass wanted they reset the whole event and set strict rules on the red side.

Since WW2, the "wars" have been mismatched to the extreme (never mind that in both world wars USA came in late, and never had its industrial capacity threatened). The closest to a symmetrical war was in Korea, after China sent tro

Also went in late in both wold wars, when the other side was basically exhausted. Never mind never having had to operate the industry under 24/7 bombardment.

Never mind that Win95 didn't need a GPU that could push millions of polygons just to draw its UI...

I suspect that the eternal problem will be that of context. Back when Google started out, they bet the farm on the idea that more links pointing to a document meant that said document was informative. These days though, i wonder if what we

I think the term used is emergent complexity. So when you go from particle physics to chemistry, new complexities emerge that can't be explained in the realm of particle physics alone (iirc). sadly certain "sciences" still cl

The latter was basically my thing in the neighborhood for a time. Started out with BNC connected coax and then upgraded the kit to TP and hubs/switches. Crazy thing is that i had perhaps the shittiest internet connection around...
