or rather than using the 5 billion cell fpga to do all that you could look into a microcontroler with an adc, mpeg encoder chip, and a couple meg of memory for around 200-300 bucks. The tini dev board from dallas semiconductor is around 100. IBMs mpeg encoder chip is around 50. The decoder chip for the vga signal would run you around 50-100. Plus some misc parts and you would have everything you rlooking for there and no one would have to tie their brain in a knot trying to do VHDL.
Few years? Don't know about you but I've noticed quite a bit of enhancements and improvements. Everything from wishlists, VBR Encoding, beter guide data, and a slew of ui improvements. As for more control it doesn't get much beter than a bash shell. In any event there have been quite a few improvements esp when you consider it is a consumer electronics device. I almost forgot the home media option for series 2 owners that allows you to use rendevous to share all kinds of media on your network. Not exactly frozen in time. Have you checked your thermostat?
Change your ip. You must get a new ip from your provider if they refuse you need to get a new provider. When people start doing this who are using their servers for legitimate purposes it will force isp to take a closer look at the customers they let use the ips they are allocated and maybe slow the spread of the low lifes who send unsolicited e-mail.
This is something that has been addressed before again and again. The point is people don't really care. The only people who do are the smaller local broadcasters. I can sympathize with their plight trying to make a buck when the big guys are making it difficult for them. This does not excuse the libelous comments alleging made up news. I'm hopping someone at clear channels takes note of this and helps to lighten the load of slashdot editors like this.
I currently use a mixture of rsync in a cron deamon and winbind from samba.org. The two allow syncing remote users accounts on workstations and authentication against the domain for the following services: ssh, ftp, telnet, pop3, kdm. Others can be added if they support pam. One that I have not gotten to work as of yet is cvs but I'm working on it.
One I like to use although it is arguable if it is more capable than your 49G is RDCalc. I have downloaded it and played with it a bit. It seemed capable but the demo period simply was not enough to evaluate it properly. Still worth checking out though, as it is one of the most complete calculator apps I was able to find for the pocket pc.
This is exactly what you don't need if you follow the directions. In addition this procedure works for all X11 based apps including the likes of tystudio which was the original app I tested this on. Now when I want to grab video off my tivo it is no longer a hassle just a click on the app for tystudio and X11 comes up and so does tystudio.
I wanted to post this on macgimp if it wasn't for that registration thingy. If you want to launch gimp like a regular program follow these simple steps after having it installed were you can at the very least run it from a terminal command line.
#1 go to find (command f) and search for gimp. Locate the file named gimp with a parent of bin. it should reside in/opt/local/bin With this file located select it and do a get info. Go to Ownership & permissions. Make sure the details are showing and select the current user for the owner. This should prompt you for the administrative password. Enter it and click ok.
#2 double click the application gimp. Select choose application. Find your X11 application and click ok. It will then tell you not enough information is available and ask if you would like to update the program click update.
#3 after gimp launches close out of it and shut X11 down.
#4 get info on gimp again and change the owner back to system. Close the get info box.
#5 make an alias to gimp by selecting the icon and pressing command+option while dragging the alias to its new home.
You can now close out of all the windows your new alias is now a launcher for gimp. YMMV on this as I just decided to try it out being a Mac user for so long I just figured this was the way it should be done and low and behold it worked without a hitch. System was 10.3 with the latest updates for both X11 and the security updates from apple. In addition you can add it to the dock but because it is a file not an application you have to place it to the side of the solid black line the trash can is on.
I'm talking about slashdot editors who posted this. They did title it so as to invoke emotion didn't they? All I'm saying is that the story is one that will be heard as long as spammers fight against those who fight spam. The situation and characters may change but the battle will wage on as long as people abuse current e-mail systems. The real problem I think comes when ipv6 rolls out to the masses.
Use some common sense editors when presented with a story that seems unusually slanted please take it at face value. This is why corporations such as verio need to be made aware of their policies not working not that black lists do not. Blacklists are the only thing that works against spammers and they know it. So how do they fight back by using the blacklists against regular sites to try and disrupt users service so that people might think twice about using them.
Instead this article should be title "Why Blacklist Do Work" and what spammers are doing to try and disrupt them.
Butler did lie one way or the other bottom line thats not "the government saying" thats the facts. Either the vials were destroyed or they were misplaced, one or the other, not both. This is the only thing I have made my mind up about because of the facts. This however is enough for me to at least consider the possibility that the allegations might have merit and allows me to consider that this is not simply a government conspiracy trying to intimidate scientists throughout the nation. It must take a lot of animosity to ignore it.
Here is a good link to fill in any blanks. You can ignore it if you want.
I have to say that this is the world we live in were people who actually know how to use their brains to think through situations and arrive at logical conclusions are marked as flaimbait. Just more proof they don't want you to think for yourself.
How is this even close to a parody of McCarthy? What thinking logically and evaluating the situation is somehow reminiscent of McCarthy. Are you a member of the American Communist Party?
In a court of law of course you let the evidence speak for the guilt of an individual when confronted with a crime. However, this is not a court of law it is the court of public opinion. I personally cannot look past the fact that things were not handled properly under Mr. Butlers lead and as such he should accept the consequences.
Remember this all started with a lie (he lied about them going missing or he lied about "accidentally" destroying them). I do not understand how do people simply look past that and defend him as if he is holier than those who are sworn to defend our rights and freedoms. Not to be extremist but to me this ranks along the lines of defending Jose Padilla.
If that is the case then why are you trying to make a case for a scientist who broke the law? I could understand if this was a scientist who "published a paper on" or "theorized about" and I would be right there with you. This does not appear to be the case here. I could be wrong and blind to the "truth" but according to the facts, I have seen he committed a crime the consequences of which should be real especially when it comes to matters of life and death.
What has me particularly fired up on this matter is the fact this "Scared Scientist" lays blame on the Bush administration instead of showing it the light that they are taking the steps necessary to protect the people of this country. On the same argument of keeping a close eye on our government our government should keep a close eye on the real threats to this country.
I know were every piece of equipment I have is and what it is being used for. I cannot imagine this so called practice of VIP or the laxed record keeping that lead to the false alarm that caused a waste of my tax payer dollars all because someone was to lazy to do things in a safe and professional manner.
I have been to the health and science center in Lubbock on several occasions and I understand the nature of life there is not nearly as fast paced as it is in most cities. It is however not an excuse to put the lives of the inhabitants of that city or any other city at risk because you don't feel like putting up with the paper work. The one place I do agree that they went over board is with the whole tax issue. Given some of the rulings that come out of our court systems I see why some prosecutors go for the jugular. I think it is a sad example of a broader social issue that extends far beyond this case into the idea that no one is responsible for their actions any more.
My race, my childhood, my mother, my father, my priest, my neighborhood, my education system, my government, anything but me.
Government bad! People doing bad things not in government good!!
Alright Mr. Hatfield riddle me this, if our government didn't take action against someone who illegally brought biological agents into the country and lied about their disposal sold them to a terrorist later and they caused an outbreak that killed a couple hundred thousand people what would you have to say. What did they know and when did they know it.
Its impossible to please people who think that the government is inherently bad and while I agree it is a best practices approach to keep a close eye on them it is a better practice to know when. Sometimes this takes a little more common sense and a little less activism and I know that is not what you want to hear.
Such vulgar language, such an inept tone. Maybe you could find it in your heart to read next time and realize it has nothing to do with the platform it is on.
It isn't about having proxies you aren't aware of and while your trying to sound knowledgeable your undercoat is showing. Also I don't remember saying it was crap but I do believe that placing in BSD will give people the false impression that this is an exacting technology and the simple fact is that it isn't. If you still feel the need to troll then I suggest you find yourself a mentor who can tell you why this isn't a great idea and were the holes are with it because it is becoming increasingly obvious your not reading what I'm writing.
You make some interesting points on how it could be used in a network that may or may not be usable to some so I guees it is better to have them there than not. I personally was more concerned with the notion presented in the slashdot article that people would use this to redirect people off their websites to upgrade sites based of their fingerprint. As for the religion here to each his or her own. The only thing I would really hate to see is people using this to deny others access based off what is really nothing more than an educated guess as to what is on the other end of that syn.
Brain examined. Obviously your new to the idea of networking so let me throw you a wrench. Every hear of a proxy? Believe it or not they are still in use. Not everyone gets full NAT at their desktop. There are numerous other examples of wrenches that f this sytem up. Granted for the most part they are the exception not the rule but if people start relying on it to tell others what they need to do before they visit their site then guess what it will cause problems for people. So to recap this isn't the greatest thing since sliced bread to keep people up to date. Nore should it be relied upon as a factual they every system it finds is exactly what it is reported to be.

I still think the power of peoples pocket books can win out over the spammers if they force isps to deal with it by using their monetary vote.

Don't think this isn't on someones list of ways to increase revenue at MicroSoft.
Talk about misleading this is almost as bad as those goatsex trolls. Most of the programs on this site are worthless to 99.99% of people.
