In that case I should read the documentation a bit better.
Thanks.

Anyways, Ive forked the Greplin-Nagios-Utils to address this issue and added some stuff to read from Memcache, now your super importatnt services can supply data to Memcache, Icinga will then do some haxx and poll the data when it pleases, so you will end up with the data in your frontend. Its in an early stage.. But hopefully I will have the time to make it better, faster, stronger. https://github.com/simonjohansson/greplin-nagios-utils/tree/...
Every music nerds wet dream.
To listen to my finds I use spotify, youtube and blogspots and if I can I tend to buy the stuff I like on vinyl/CD.
Cant speak for painting but after a couple of failed attempts to pick up the guitar in my teens I one day started playing what I felt like instead of trying to play some fast hard rock riff, instant success and now I play guitar every day and starting to be genuinely good at it. So, paint what you feel like. Explore other painters and artists and try to copy their work while still maintaining your personal touch to it. Get a mentor or show what you do on some site for showing art, feedback is really important!
Also, less chaotic Free Improvisation and Free Jazz works very well for me as long as Ive heard the work before. Try NVP(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeRkH7amPl8&feature=relat...) and Ornette Colemans Town Hall, 1962
But that hideous image scroller on the bottom hurts my eyes :[
Edid: You change the link didnt you? Im talking about the image from here: http://blogs.oracle.com/theplanetarium/entry/summarizing_jav...
My guess is that "intelligent people" are more likely to see trough the "If you touch that devils marijuhana cigarette your gonna end up with a needle in the arm, boy" and have a higher curiosity towards things that make them see things differently.
It would be cool to see some data about what drugs higher intelligent/educated persons tend to use. My guess is that weed, coke, LSD,Mescaline,Psilocin have a somewhat higher user base than say Opiates, Meth and stuff that actually can turn your life around for the worse very fast.
I shall investigate with a poll. :)
How ever as a Swede I have seen the direct changes in the community due to the parliament shift, not all bad of course. But when a country that used to take care about its own, all of a sudden points the middle finger to those who is in need I feel angry and disappointed and somewhat alienated from my own country. I was brought up being told that tax money was going to hospitals, schools, Unemployment benefits etc etc. because everyone has the right to these things, and everyone has the duty to finance it. Now what is happening is that we have the same tax rate as before, except if you are wealthy, then the taxes have dropped or even disappeared, and more and more of the things that where a right in Sweden is becoming a privilege for the people who don´t need it and financed by the lower portion in the social ladder.
Oh, and now we have something called RUT-Avdrag. Its basically a thing where the state pays 50% if you employ a maid or call in someone to clean your house. It was to "create more work" and "to help ordinary stressed career people". As it turned out it haven't created so many new jobs. And the average middle class stressed career person would save more money by taking 4 hours of work to clean by him/her-self than to rent a cleaning person for 4 hours. This was one of the first things Alliansen did for Sweden after they took over the parliament. Oh yeah, and wealth tax was quickly gone too.
Sure, there are some things that should be privatizationed, the railroad to name one(it doesn't work, at all) but you don´t fuck with the health care and the school system and the unemployment benefits to name a few(That made Sweden the awesome country it was) to finance stuff such as RUT-Avdrag and getting rid of wealth tax, and then tell the world "Hey! Look at us and our marvelous economic model"
Also, the person who wrote the blogpost is a party member of Moderaterna witch is responsible for all these changes, so its his view.
The leader of Alliansen, Moderaterna, have in the past voted against universal suffrage(1904-1918), 8 hour workdays(1919,1923), the right for women to vote(1919), two weeks paid vacation(1938), free lunches at schools(1946), three weeks paid vacation(1951), civil union(1994)<br /> Thats not even the tip of the iceberg, thats just a snowflake about to land on top of it.
Sweden used to be about social security, the need of the many outweigh the need of the few, arts and giving anybody a fighting chance. That was the Swedish model
Its getting colder, and its getting cold really fast. The Swedish model 2011: getting rid of the expensive social security and lowering the taxes for the wealthy.
That means the monthly pay only is only 11 days- 19.8microseconds away.
Doubt that I will buy these but hopefully they will improve the "amplifying". Im quite anal about my sound quality :)
Do you got any more of this stuff lying around? Dont have the time to go trough all the stuff in scrap.
Altough
"There are some that are just very strange and don’t look like anything that I’ve been able to identify, and I’ve shown them to many other experts that have also come up stump."
makes me a little curious. I'm not a biologist, so someone who is, how often do you find organisms/fossils completely different from known organisms?
Quickstart: Click on charts in the top menu. Insert random obscure genre, be shure to check "+ child genres " Click Show Chart and be amazed.
A neat feature would be when entering an artist and title a little button or something would appera. Pressing it would launch a popup or something where the search results from youtube would appear where you could also listen/watch and then select the relevant video.
It would be swell tough if the user could enter a youtube or vimeo link and share that, last.fm doesnt have it all. :)
And another thing, when clicking on an band-name it would be nice if there where some link to the artists entry on rateyourmusic.com . I find it to be the best service for discovering all the nerdy stuff about bands(like members, boolegs, reviews etc etc.)
Ive listened to those powerd by a CMOY, great bang for the buck. What amp do you pair them up with?
I bought a low end recording audio interface( E-MU Tracker Pre) whitch features a pretty decent DAC and boy oh boy does it make the music pop!
Comparing a 192kbps MP3 featuring a big dynamic range with headphones connected directly to the on board audio on my laptop vs headphones connected to my Tracker Pre there is a night and day difference. On the external sound card the MP3 still sounds a little flat, but it does it with class as opposed to boring on the onboard DAC.
So before you get into the whole "OH LAWL, MUST ONLY LISTEN TO FLAC" thing start by updating your sound card, its well worth the money!
I´m surprised how helpful you have been and how much attention this post generated. HN is truly a force to be reckoned with and I salute you all.
Why is it that you would have majored in another area if you where to do it all again?
My plan is to use logical reasoning, problem solving and mathematical knowledge in lots of different fields outside computer science hence the main interest in mathematical studies.
Computers have been my Nr. 1 interest for as long as I can remember but I don´t think that I want to WORK with them for more than about 15-20 years, there Is so much more to do, music, building stuff, working with people on a non technical level etc.
Anyways, thanks for the reply!
What I meant was that If I were to work with OO 8hr/day for a longer period of time Im afraid that I would get so "wired up" in the OO way of thinking that I would have a hard time learning and understanding to think in a correct FP-manner.
Oh, This Is Happening is an excellent record! Since were in on electronic stuff I must recommend Bot'Ox - Blue Steel :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMEUpF7mNb0
Why functional programming matters, by John Hughes(This one is recommended all over the place :-) ). Its really fun to read and he writes in a natual and easy to understand way. http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.63....
A comparison of an Quick Sort implementation, C# vs Haskell. For problems involving large amount of data and the need to operate over it functional programming seems like the perfect choice. http://shunsuk.blogspot.com/2008/02/quick-sort-haskell-vs-c....
