What a great, new idea!

I finally gave up and bought a cheap mp3 player and made a script of two to randomly copy oggs, convert it to wav and then to mp3. That works, but it's a pain.

Another workaround for people confined to their desks is to use an fm radio transmitter and your laptop. The cheap mp3 player has an fm radio, setting it to my tuner's frequency fixes the play problem. An antenna mod makes it easy enough to move around the room without too much loss of quality. When I need to be in the mood and on more than one computer, this is working OK for me.

I'm still waiting for a nice ogg player. One day soon, I'll try a Samsung and see how that goes.

Do any of these posts have the before pictures. I did a scan with April 05 updates and got the ignore then too. While I agree they should mark it as remove, did MS Antispyware EVER mark it as remove? See my screenshots here.

Feel free to try downloading a copy from my node as well. Its on a slow DSL connection. here

Yes, I'm sure your old Yashica can take some great pictures, but the versatility you get with a zoom lens is hard to beat in many applications. For instance, this shot of the White House, as I said on the caption, is pretty much impossible without a telephoto lens. I found that kind of situation comes up very regularly on the trip I took that photo on.

One could state it like that, and I think it's a valid comparison. But how about those people who are starting to get the feeling that those who prefer to speak in private, are slowly becoming too much influence? Is that a threat to the "freedom of speace"? Or is the number of speakers simply growing, and has it become impossible to hear all voices? I think the later, but a dear friend of mine, who has been in the oss scene for a very long time feels he opposit. See the article I wrote about it for more details.

I have an Rsync backup walk thru. Once everything is on a large array, you can run backups to a localy mounted tape drive.

Rsyncing keeps the network traffice to a minimum, and the local tape speeds up the backup to tape.

I agree that there is no good solution. I used to use rsync to keep 5 or 6 machines up to date with my latest changes to $HOME, but the following has got me as close to having a single home dir as I have ever been.

I use NFS over CIPE tunnels to get around the roaming problems. That link is to a bit that I wrote up about doing this, but the short version is below:

1) set up NFS so that one monster server has your home directory.
2) For trusted networks, just use nfs to mount the server's home directory on all machines.
3) for untrusted networks... like over the internet using your laptop or an office machine... use CIPE tunnels. The cipe config files can remain static as long as you know your public ips on both sides, but can also be setup to be programaticly changed. Then just fire up the tunnel and mount like normal NFS.

I'm not sure how well windows supports CIPE or NFS, which is why I say there is no good solution.

I do very much the same thing. I wrote a script that will do parallel rsyncs to pull backups off of any number of servers. You can find it here.

Making it parallel really cuts the time to complete down because much of rsync's time is spent doing checksumming, and not high traffic.

If this actually gets clicked by many people it will crash quickly, but for the few that make it to the site before it's completely bogged down, Idle Dreams has a massive ANSI Art Library (thousands of art packs). I'm working on a new version, but this one is functional at least. Not the greatest bit of work, but the artwork is there.
