I am interesting in your PVR... I can't see the screen shots you link to, the server returns a 500.:-(
I am getting a HiPix HDTV tuner card, and I am interesting in integrating it with your PVR...

Hmmm... do you know of any issues with this card? Does it display the same resolution as an "off the shelf" HDTV (Like a Hitachi (spelling?))?
Otherwise, this seems like a good deal...
How well can it display HD signals on a standard TV. I understand the TV can't handle it, but I don't have an HDTV yet and I want to use this as a Tivo like device.
Also, I saw that the AccessDTV encrypts the video as it saves it to disk to prevent distributing it... does the other card do it too?
Thanks much!

Are there linux drivers for that card?
It looks like a good deal... correct me if I am wrong, but with that card I could watch HDTV (from over the air) on my computer monitor.
If there are drivers... it should not be _too_ difficult to capture the data and integrate it into the PVR setup above...

I am mostly interesting in generating data packets... so I don't need to worry about IMBE and such.
I take it your work for Mot...

P25 eh?:-)
Wha kind of ADC would be required to grab APCO frames from over the air?
I am not too concerned about real time processing... I just want to grab them and pick at the CAI data...
The iden phones allow you to access standard Java networking classes... so you could have a UDP connection between two phones. All of the Nextel phones are assigned a 10.x.x.x IP (that uses Mobile IP)... you can pay extra and get a routable IP...
Fun stuff. I recomend checking out the i90c. It is a very nice phone.
You won't learn too much when you compare MHz to MIPS with an S/390. They are fairly slow, but they do have a TON of memory bandwidth and very fast RAM. At my school we still do mainframe asm programming, and it was pretty clear that machine could move memory like crazy.
DB apps and the like should run nice and fast... makes sense... that is the reason S/390's still exist.
it gets an access violation. If I load a document first in IE (it opens fine as a word doc)... everything is fine. (As long as I keep that window open.:-)
Seems like it would be a pretty easy device to build. You can get RAM for almost nothing these days. I would throw a 128 Meg cache on there, and maybe another tuner. It could get very interesting.
Just wanted to let you know that Spytech (the fake childrens spy game toys) released a thermal sensor. It has a bar graph of LEDs showing how hot something is. I got one when I was a kid, and it worked VERY well. (for a kids toy) It could pick up a person walking in front of it from 100'.
It aids in platform consistancy. People expect a windows app to behave and look like a windows app. I was not too pleased with Qt on Windows. The gui seemed very slugish.
The best use is reuse, so MS already spent the time doing the widgets, so you might as well use them.
Overall, I was very impressed with wxWindows. They took on a very complicated task, and it appears to be working out. I used wxWindows 2.2.7(Win 2000 and WinNT) and wxGTK (Solaris 7 and Redhat 7) on a fairly complex GUI... and had NO problems.
I wonder what their intentions are. Are we going to see some scaled down versions in stores next X-Mas?:-)
It would be nice if the web site gave a bit more info... like tips for aspiring robot developers.
The future of robotics looks VERY bright... more and more powerful CPU's comming out... new materials... advances in computer vision and speech recogintion... Let's hope the future isn't _too_ bright for them.;-)
Actually one company is using the 5.7 GHz range to provide 11 Mbps. They are using a far more simple modulation technique that can handle A LOT more interference. I had the pleasure of testing a couple of them out...
They were pretty cool, I only attempted a 4.4 mile link, but I was told they could go much farther.
Why don't the chips come with built in heatsinks? The heatsink could be fused right to the core to provide the best possible connection. It would kick up costs, but you never need to worry about heatsink failure. My nightmares would finally stop.

... it is a packet switched and supports Mobile IP and that fun stuff.
You can get a pretty good deal from Nextel on a phone and service. The data service is unlimmited and you can receive calls when using it.
Not to mention, the i90c is a sweet phone.
Firewire is subject to same "in practice" limitations. My new iMac is on its way... so I give it a try. :-)

I am in the situation where Word 2000 will not start up on its own. I have to open a word document in Internet Explorer first, then I can load word.
:-)
This is a machine that has all the latest service packs... and no non-microsoft software installed. (expect for Winzip and dnetc
It worked fine for about 5 months... oh well. Back to pico.

I mean that in only the most positve way. :-)

Too bad some stores actaully look at the card.
Wouldn't that be neat. Since it is already digital from the sat, no need to redigitize it...
:-)
You could fast forward commericials (assuming you have a buffer...) and pause a good song when you get out to pump gas.
Might be a bit dangerous to use while driving.

You didn't happen to save any code or plans did you? :-)
If you look at the statistics, you will find two facts hold true for motorcycle/automobile crashes:
:-) Too bad all those damn teenagers give bikes a bad rap...
1. If you are driving a car, you are twice as likely to get into an accident. (Corrected for winter)
2. If you are in an accident, you are twice as likely to die if on a motorcylce.
Seems like it evens out...
These are based on statistics for Illinois. YMMV.

well, AMD could ship various size heatsinks on the processors... They could include larger ones for the overclockin' crowd...
With a direct connection to the die, the heatsink could be far more efficient... no more damn thermal paste...

Seems like Google has quite the DB backend... anyone know what they are running?
