Triple Strength or the regular old Inner Sphere Flavor?

Star Leauge for life.

The next phase is myomer. The fictional "muscles" used in Battletech 'mech construction. They are supposedly strong fibers that expand and contract when you pass current through them, or something to that effect.

Giant robots here we come!

Huh? The poster clearly asked for cross-platform solutions, with a heavy emphasis on linux. As far as I know, ATI does not provide a version of their software suite for linux.
Hauppauge cards are supported by a variety of linux PVR software, as well as various commerical programs under windows. Microsoft Media Center???

Further, most modern external PVRs use a firewire interface, and not USB or serial (yes, I am aware that technically many standards fall under 'serial', but I think it's reasonable to assume that parent meant good old RS232 COM ports. Why would anyone use that for video transfer is beyond me).

Geez! It's like listening to a Bad Religion Song!

I have Two Words for you:

Collaborative writing at it's very best.

Bad Religion would be my choice.

I'm currently working on a project where we might be using Michael Schechter's FrameCal running on a bank's intranet and need to sync with Outlook. Post a message if you are interested in this direction.

PS. Development is not approved yet.
PPS. Have not studied these RFCs ( here is RFC2445), but at first glance it appears that RFC2445 is not XML-based and therefore I am not very interested.

The creater of the QWERTY keyboard was Christopher Latham Sholes. Look him up in just about any encyclopedia, this was exactly the reason we have the QWERTY keyboard. I have done extensive research on this topic. There were several people "inventing" the typewritter at the time, all with the standard "ABCD" type of layout. Sholes found that this jammed up his typewritter and placed common letters away from each other. At the time, no one even though touch typing was possible, they thought the third and fourth finders were to "weak" to use, so this did not seem like a big deal. He sold the rights to his machine to James Densmore, Densmore and his partner George Washington Yost then sold the invention to Philo Remington. (Yes of the famed company Remington) Remington wanted the typewritter to look pretty and so he hired William K. Jenne an "artist-mechanic." Jenne's expertise was in sewing machines however, and the first mass-produced typewritters actually had a floral design and foot pedal. They have since been replaced, however the QWERTY keyboard remains despite the fact that it could be replaced by a more strategicaly placed keyboard. Mostly because most people know how to use the QWERTY keyboard and getting the public to change, is not an easy task. For more info go here.
