Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

Comment on Installing gitorious on Ubuntu 10.04 HOWTO by Eric Muyser

Which version of echoe does gitorious use? Dang this dependency system sucks. As far as I can tell, any time a gem from the listed “gem install” is updated, it will easily screw up because the gem maintainer updates the rubygems dependency. Thus, we need specific versions for all of the dependencies (package.json in Node.js).

“ERROR: Error installing echoe:
echoe requires RubyGems version >= 1.8.4. Try ‘gem update –system’ to update RubyGems itself.”

Trendy blog site pal.

Wow I like your site. If I could make myself a blog something like this, I may likely be as pleased as a speckled furry friend.

@Mark m –
Yes, it’s a bit of a mystery that – the program never writes past memory address 498, I tried setting an entry point to 512 (the third ‘section’ as laid out in the js file), but it is an invalid instruction – so who knows. Possibly a decoy- I wonder if they will post any ‘official’ solutions after the deadline they have runs out.

I did the same. It’s a very interesting challenge. I’ve also done stage 3, but I’ve got a question about the vm. It seems to be that there is quite a lot of the data in mem that is unused? Did you find a use for it or is it just noise? Is there a second message? What about the two instructions after the second block of code? What about the cc ? Am I just too curious?
