I really want my own Linux/BSD box. I have been browsing for small computers but there is so much noise out there. Could you help me or recommend something? Something along these lines:
This would be awesome but I just haven't found one. If I would buy something with ARM, how would that affect software possibilities? I'm no sysadmin, just a lowly tech geek :/
Plug computers look pretty cool. I've been thinking about picking up a DreamPlug. Check the link for more

Mine was finally shipped the other day! I hope it gets here soon!

A RasPi?
Let us know what you do with it!
I just had to have no money in my account when they were ready to be shipped. Grr.
I was going to order a RasPi... But then I found out they're charging $42 instead of the $35 they promised. Making people wait 16 weeks telling them they'll have to pay 20% more than the promised price is definitely not going to make customers happy.
Just pick up any random ARM based controller. No need for the Pi.

Most of the ones I've found are pretty specialized, or they're only sold in bulk/to registered companies.
Plus it's just handy having a computer all ready, without any soldering and warranty voiding. Arguably cheaper, too.
>>11
Tax. They're UK-based, they tax everyone to hell over there (even on the interwebz).
Still cheaper than a sheevaplug without much a sacrifice of specs.
RasPi is pretty popular over at 4chan's /diy/, but they use it mostly as a controller, not as a complete computer. It's cool if you're building an automated mechanism (say, a small robot), but its use as a PC is downright discouraged.
Also, cost is far too high IMO and customer service sucks.
I'm sure you all know of the site http://www.51cnnet.com/ where everybody goes to get massive amounts of programming books, but it's offline! I just noticed today! Is something wrong or is it gone permanently? If so, has any sort of replacement been put up?

Looks like there's only one way to get it.
I need to be able to video chat with a couple of co-workers over long distances and sometime between other countries. Constantly moving around Wifi networks in Universitys, Librarys, office buildings.
I use Linux, the others use OSX. I read an article all about how to ditch Skype and use the SIP protocol with a program called Jitsi. I've checked Jitsi out and it's pretty cool and works on OSX. It used to be known as the "SIP Communicator" and that was the main point behind it's creation. But it also works with XMPP.
Now after research, it seems that both SIP and XMPP can be used for video calling too, but the calls are connected in different ways and that has different impications. In SIP, two clients connect to a central server to preform a handshake and tell each other where they are, then the clients connect directly to each other for the call. With XMPP, the sever is never taken out of the loop, and is used as a middleman and the video streams are routed through it.
But what I read about both protocols does not tell me what one is better than the other for my situation. All I know is that there is some deal with SIP where it can't connect under certain network configureations. And since we're always on new wifi networks we'll never know or be able to change their confugureations.
Try them and find out!
Google Talk works fine for me, as does Skype. Do what works for you; if you eliminate all that does not work, you're left with a matter of personal taste.
Yeah, try everything and find out for yourself, just like anything else in life.
This is my first time on this board, cool banner!
>>2>>3
We have tried Google Talk and Google Hangouts, calls would not ever connect in either.
Skype used to work fine in Linux. But recently it only seems to work in certain distros.
The entire point of me making this thread was so that we would not have to go about to go about making an account on one network, download a client, test it, and then if it doesnt work, repeat the whole process over again.
This thread is so that we don't to do that.

This could also be good against oppressive governments.
Think of this:
People have been able to DIY a working cell phone before, in the past.
Before 3D printers there were working yet experimental circuit boards (read motherboards) that could be printed from normal inkjet printers.
And with 3D printers people have been able to print solar panels.
If and when I get my hands on this shit I am going to be printing fucking solar powered MIDs and cell phones, meaning no Gov' or corporate based hardware level monitoring or interference crap.
He also talks about using trash as its source material. Very cool. Now throw a solar panel or wind turbine in with it.
Independent, off the grid, manufacturing that helps keep Earth clean. Wow.
Who else is exited for this?

This whole idea is cool. I'm imagining making parts to a chair in some Google Sketchup like program, "printing" the parts, fitting them together like lego pieces, then sitting the the chair feeling awesome.
Fuck! I never even thought about medical purposes!
More medical-related 3D Printing awesomeness. This time with an artistic flair.
Well hello there, Katawa Shoujo.

Does anyone know a free alternative to MaxiVista?
MaxiVista isnt the same thing as Synergy. With synergy you do not use the second computer as a secondary monitor, you just switch the keyboard and mouse control to the second computer.
I've looked, may as well just buy maxivista, i think i will soon.
zoneos.com doesnt have download links to zonescreen and i found 1.0.7.0 and its no where near as good as maxivista.. anyone else got somethin to add

I currently have two blogs. Both are with Blogger, yet created with two different Google accounts.
Now, I want to move away from Google and onto Wordpress. I've been told that Wordpress supports the importing of Blogger blogsites onto itself, but what I'm wondering is what the implications of this are.
I want to operate both of these old blogs from two different Google accounts under one Wordpress account. But the two blogs are under different names. One uses my real name, the other uses a alias that I post photos to. They do not connect at all. There is no way someone who looks at the photo blog could find out about the blog I write under my real name. And vice versa.
Now, if I am writing both of these blogs, after importing them both from Blogger, is there any way a reader of either of them could find out what other blogs the account holder writes? Is there anything on it that someone could click on the bring them to a profile of the account that would show other blogs that the person writes? Blogger had something like that, but it let you turn it off.
Can I do this same thing with Wordpress after importing two different Blogger blogs from two different Google accounts? Write one blog under one name and another blog under a different name and have is be impossible for a reader of either to make any sort of connection(s) between the two?
I'd imagine so. If you're talking about WordPress.com, then I'm fairly certain it's a one-blog-one-account kind of service. You log in with the name of your blog (e.g. if you register foo.wordpress.com, your username is foo).
It's possible they introduced some sort of multiple-blogs-per-account system, but of course you could just make two separate accounts. I doubt there's a limit on Blogger imports or any way to trace them back (unless you leave the Blogger sites up and people Google what you've written). If Google decided to be nice for a change, it should just spit out an XML file of your articles that you can import into WordPress.
>>2
Hunh. Well Wordpress would not take too much notice if a single IP is logging in/out of two separate accounts, would they?
>>3
Even if they did notice, I'd be surprised if they cared. Unless there's a clause against it in their TOS somewhere.
Is there any way that someone looking at your blog can find there email address that I being used with it?

Don't knock it, they tend to post links to stuff people can do against proposed moronic legislation.

Hello, 4-ch! I can't seem to be able to install the Japanese IME. I don't have Office XP on my computer either, so I can't use the Office XP link. Being able to type in Japanese on my computer would help me learn very much, so I would like your advice on how to install it without having the Windows CD or having Office XP. Thank you! :)

May be difficult to install. Can run live though. There are many others out there. There is openoffice. free open source.

There are many projects from Japan
search google, Most offer open office

that is not mibbit?
I end up having to use web IRC often but I really don't like mibbit.
CGI:IRC?
Or run any console-based IRC client. I'm guessing a few have Web frontends, or you could even access them over SSH.
Miranda has IRC protocol support.
Try qwebirc.
