April 2, 2003: We have gotten reports that www.kernel.org is occationally slow in responding. We are trying to resolve the problem, however, in the meantime, the FTP server does not have this problem.
If you look at the bottom of kernel.org, you'll see the quote above. (I know it is cliche, but I _really_ was there yesterday downloading 2.4.20 and just finished compliling when I saw this post:). Between their existing problem and the Slashdoting, the FTP is probably a better option anyway.
Although Apple (AAPL ) won't talk about it, IBM (IBM ) is developing a new set of chips that Apple will likely use to replace theaging Motorola processors used in its G4 line.
I didn't read anywhere in the article that IBM confirmed Apple will be using PPC970.
IBM says the new [...]chip will be of the 64-bit variety, which means it can process twice as much information per cycle as existing 32-bit chips.
I've been using Outclass for a couple weeks and I'm pretty pleased. Outclass is a GPL'ed Outlook plugin that sits atop Popfile and eliminates the need to use the web interface to train the filters.
It's not "mom-easy" to set up, but once it's up and going, she'll have no problem.
ssh -L8080:address.of.the.tivo:80 username@public.ip.of.home then, open browser go to http://localhost:8080/
the -L says forward requests on my machines port 8080 to port 80 on the tivo. It all goes thru the SSH tunnel.
_IF_ he can SSH to his box on his network at home (assuming the SSH server box can reach his TiVo), firewalls and proxies shouldn't be an issue. Or am I missing something?
Can you SSH from work to any host on your home network? In that case, check out the man pages for the syntax for port forwarding and your problem is solved.
Another trick (shh! don't tell anyone!) if you are a really really cheap bastard:
Grrrr... My first impulse was to mod the parent down, but I figured I'd reply.
First, if you like RedHat -- use it. It's free.
Second, if you like up2date -- pay for it. It's not free.
Third, http://apt4rpm.sourceforge.net/ will allow you to have the advantages of debian's apt for free. (also check apt.freshrpms.net for packages that RedHat doesn't offer)
I can understand all the arguments about up2date being expensive, but it isn't the only choice. I don't think dicking around with "entitlements" is worth anyone's time.
Workstation 4 includes improvements across the board, from the core virtual machine and virtual devices to networking and the user interface. Here's a sampling of what's new.
Improved core support for x86 architecture PCs
Support for new host and guest operating systems, including Microsoft Server 2003 beta, Red Hat Linux 8.0 and 8.1 beta, Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1, SuSE Linux 8.0, 8.1 and Enterprise Server 8, and Mandrake Linux 9.0 Support for DOS EMM386, providing better legacy application compatibility Support for PAE host and guest operating systems Improved support for debugging within virtual machines Updated hardware: ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) and APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller) to make guest operating installations smooth VESA BIOS, providing a better graphics mode before VMware Tools is installed
Improved multimedia and device support
Improved sound, with support for a new industry standard sound device that provides better audio input and output performance Improved DVD and CD-R/RW support and faster performance, including support for burning CDs from a virtual machine Improved parallel port performance with major device compatibility improvements DirectDraw support, providing compatibility with applications that require this software interface Improved graphics performance when playing various video formats Support for USB 2.0 host devices that are becoming standard in newer desktop computers
New user interface and improved usability
Completely new Linux user interface -- too much to describe here; you have to see it New interface to switch between virtual machines by clicking a tab that acts like a virtual keyboard-video-mouse switch; you no longer need to manage a separate window for each virtual machine Snapshots -- take a snapshot of your virtual machine at any time, whether it's powered on, powered off or suspended, and revert to the snapshot anytime Improved favorites list lets you manage virtual machines using a browser-like favorites list, with folders to organize all of your virtual machines Drag and drop and shared folders provide new, easy ways to share files between guest and host; you no longer need to set up a network to share files
Improved networking
Easier network configuration management on Windows hosts, so you can easily manage DHCP, NAT, virtual adapters and other features with a simple form-based interface, replacing the old text-based configuration files Support for wireless bridging so you can use a wireless adapter to access a network from a virtual machine, even with a VPN, and with support for all IP protocols Simplified installation and improved performance across the board
So while pausing Live TV seems like a cool "must have" feature, if all you watch is programs you specifically record, you still have that funtionality. Then you can vastly improve the life of the hard drive in your PVR, not to mention the CPU cycles wasted on buffering Live TV. If you want to pause Live TV, just hit the record button, then it's a recorded program and you can pause it.
But can he watch the program while the recording is in progress? It's not uncommon for me to start watching a show 10 minutes after it starts, even if I am recording it.

This story immediately reminded me of the 12 year old me guessing my way through the quiz before playing Leisure Suit Larry.
Who the hell is Spiro Agnew? LSL taught me.
Also, why didn't I find out Alt-X would skip that quiz until nearly 20 years later?

I beg to differ. Consider this:
ssh -L8080:address.of.the.tivo:80 username@public.ip.of.home
then,
open browser go to http://localhost:8080/
the -L says forward requests on my machines port 8080 to port 80 on the tivo. It all goes thru the SSH tunnel.

If you don't like to pay, use something else.

I immediately started searching for an RPM equivilant and found that checkinstall works for RPMs, .debs, and Slackware.
FYI, checkinstall can be found here. This and apt4rpm makes admining Redhat machines a lot more fun.
But can he watch the program while the recording is in progress? It's not uncommon for me to start watching a show 10 minutes after it starts, even if I am recording it.
For something /. worthy, check out New series 2 Tivo for $199
here. I don't know how good the implementation is, but IE6 has supported P3P for a few months now.
