Jerry 6-Sep-2007 [2582] | http://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/bbcwin/bbcwin.html BBC Basic for Windows is tiny and powerful. |
btiffin 7-Sep-2007 [2583] | Jerry; Check out the Dialects forum. Geomol has written a starter bbcbasic interpretter in REBOL. |
Terry 7-Sep-2007 [2584] | And while you're at it, check out the 1937 Fords.. I hear they're the 'bees knees'. |
Jerry 7-Sep-2007 [2585] | btiffin, the point is not the BASIC language. it's the compiler. Most of the applications developed in BBC Basic for Windows is under 100 KB. Only one EXE, no DLLs needed. |
Henrik 11-Sep-2007 [2586] | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6vSxR6UKFM&mode=related&search=<-- someone made saltwater burn |
Gabriele 11-Sep-2007 [2587] | i don't understand - if he's just using radio waves to break the bonds between H and O in the water, then the energy he gets is exactly the same he puts in. it's not an energy source - he's just converting electricity into radio waves then into fire. |
Henrik 11-Sep-2007 [2588] | a clean way to make heat |
Gabriele 11-Sep-2007 [2589] | just use a resistor if you want heat from electricity ;) |
PatrickP61 11-Sep-2007 [2590] | I think the media just gets so hyped up on the headline idea of water as a fuel source. They do more damage than good! For example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_fuel_celllook under lawsuit |
btiffin 11-Sep-2007 [2591] | Yeah, let's teach people how to start the ocean on fire. Luckily it's not even close to break even on energy. I read his machine was using about 10 times more joules than was coming out of the burn. |
Henrik 12-Sep-2007 [2592x2] | People seem to believe that there is talk about a perpetual motion machine, which of course isn't true. Same with the water fuel cell, which has a strange and sad story, but seems to be moving forward now. |
Converting water into something burnable with radiowaves is a big thing. It's a new discovery, which is something _really_ rare these days. Something that can open up new fields of science. If you can do this with water, what can you do with other liquids/gases? | |
Pekr 12-Sep-2007 [2594x2] | QNX Opens it Neutrino micro kernel OS source code - http://www.qnx.com/news/pr_2471_1.html |
http://www.osnews.com/story.php/18596/QNX-Opens-Neutrino-Source-Code-Interview-QNX-CEO/ | |
Gabriele 12-Sep-2007 [2596] | henrik, microwaves being absorbed by matter is not that new ;) surely this is an interesting discovery, but it's not really breaking news. |
Sunanda 12-Sep-2007 [2597] | new google search parameter to return what pages are newly indexed [almost the same as new] on the site: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/useful-google-feature-better-date-search/ eg, for rebol.net http://www.google.com/search?q=site:rebol.net&as_qdr=d7 |
Graham 12-Sep-2007 [2598] | QNX open sources it's microkernel http://www.qnx.com/ |
Henrik 14-Sep-2007 [2599] | remember when we talked about how to avoid spambots on Carl's blog and on rebol sites in general? For once Microsoft seem to have come up with something good: http://research.microsoft.com/asirra/ |
Oldes 14-Sep-2007 [2600] | I don't think it's good |
Henrik 14-Sep-2007 [2601] | why not? it's great |
Oldes 14-Sep-2007 [2602x2] | because every visit to your page will be logged on some microsoft project site, whatever it is. And I don't want to click on dogs and cats as I don't want to rewrite crypted texts. I'm human, not a robot so why to do that? I still prefere other methods how to avaid spam. Which is for example for inserted by javascript and or IP blocking on the server side if someone relly sucks (and I never had to do that) |
(inserted form) | |
Rebolek 14-Sep-2007 [2604] | So what about people without javascript? They have no right to see the page? Bad method I think. |
Graham 14-Sep-2007 [2605] | http://www.regdeveloper.com/2007/09/13/ubuntu_jeos_vmware/ The Ubuntu developers are releasing a stripped down version just to run vmware |
Henrik 15-Sep-2007 [2606] | http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/070914/laf040.html?.v=101<--- SCO files chapter 11. |
Jerry 15-Sep-2007 [2607x4] | CodeGear Ruby IDE is almost done. http://grabtherail.com/ |
It's called 3rd Rail, watch the video here http://video.codegear.com/3rdRail/TourOfTheIDE/TourOfTheIDE.html | |
Remember the mac guy pc guy commercial? there is a java guy and ruby guy video. it's so funny http://www.grabtherail.com/ImRuby.html | |
We probably should make a commercials like this. Hello I REBOL "and I am Ruby" ... Making funny video is one of the good ways to get noticed. | |
Robert 15-Sep-2007 [2611x2] | Graham, cool thing. I'm seeking for something like this being based on Debian. |
Anyone know if this exists? | |
Graham 15-Sep-2007 [2613x2] | I got classified as a bot when I tried the asirra test :( |
Interestingly they plan to use geolocation services to show animals that are close to you in case you get tempted and want to adopt one of the animals. | |
Terry 15-Sep-2007 [2615] | Hello, I'm Rebol .... "and I'm .. er sorry, who did you say you are?" |
btiffin 15-Sep-2007 [2616] | Robert, not sure if you want a Virtual Debian or a Host Debian, but check this small page. Note: I've not tried any virtualization myself. Live dangerously and practice unprotected computing. :) http://linux.simple.be/vmware/More deets at http://www.howtoforge.com/debian_etch_vmware_server_howto and finally as a appliance http://www.visoracle.com/download/debian/ |
Robert 16-Sep-2007 [2617] | Thanks for the links. |
btiffin 17-Sep-2007 [2618] | So it seems North Americans have to rely on Europe to reign in Microsoft. Thanks Europe, well done. http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/microsoft/archives/121933.asp?from=blog_last3 |
Robert 17-Sep-2007 [2619x3] | A new kind to streamline public finances... |
But I too think they are right. | |
they = the EU | |
btiffin 17-Sep-2007 [2622] | Yep, I hope this ruling puts the kibosh on the possiblity of hardware manufacturers being forced to sign non-disclosure agreements if they want drivers to function on Windows with DRM. GNU/Linux would quickly start to lose out if that happens en masse. Today is a good news day in my biased and perhaps naive opinion. |
[unknown: 10] 18-Sep-2007 [2623] | http://www.ajaxwindows.com/for those missing windows on a browser... |
btiffin 18-Sep-2007 [2624] | IBM offers up Lotus Symphony http://symphony.lotus.com/software/lotus/symphony/home.jspa |
Graham 18-Sep-2007 [2625] | Actually it's OpenOffice - IBM's version |
btiffin 18-Sep-2007 [2626] | I wondered...so that's what they get for donating 35 coders... a little bit of press and some branding. :) |
Jerry 18-Sep-2007 [2627] | I downloaded IBM Lotus Symphony yesterday, I am using it now. So far, I don't like it. |
Davide 19-Sep-2007 [2628] | Great ajax grid http://www.turboajax.com/products/turbogrid/index.html |
Henrik 19-Sep-2007 [2629] | jerry, just from the screenshots, it does not look particularly impressive. |
Jerry 19-Sep-2007 [2630] | Henrik, you're right. And not just that, the performance is not good, because of Java. The download size is 150MB, and the installation size is 300+ MB. Why does IBM make everything dull and huge? We should make an Rebol Office, I mean it. After REBOL/View system has been improved in R3, this is not impossible. |
PatrickP61 19-Sep-2007 [2631] | This seems interesting... Lina Software released the source code for LINA under the GPL v2. LINA enables Linux binaries to run with native look and feel on Windows, Mac, and Linux, without recompiling. http://openlina.org/news.html |
