I wouldn't bother trying to get scp working on the camera. I'm not sure exactly how they work, but from your description I presume you can set them up to FTP to a particular host to transfer the pictures.
I can't really imagine anyone using one of these cameras with a global IP address, but I guess I can see te possibility of having it transfer the data from inside a firewall to a site outside the firewall.
OK, anyway, what I would do is set up a small Linux/*BSD box with two Ethernet interfaces. Put the camera on the private side of the box, and hook the other card to the external network (or your in-house network, or whatever). Then have the camera FTP the pictures to the Linux/*BSD box, and have the box send them on to the other server using scp. If you don't like that, you could set up a VPN between the box and the receiving server, but I suspect that's overkill for your needs.
Thanks for the correction. I don't have even a passing familiarity with California law concerning civil disputes, so I really shouldn't have opened my mouth like that. Funny to think that anyone can subpoena my private diary (for example) if they think it's relevant to their lawsuit, though...
Well, strangely enough, the "burst transfer" across a bus is actually pretty widespread. I'm not sure what NVidia added to get a patent on the process, but almost all PCI/AGP graphics cards do it. You know how sometimes an MP3 you're playing pauses when you open a Netscape window even though you've got a meg or two of the music buffered? The reason for that is that the burst transfer across the bus is gobbling all the bus' bandwidth for just long enough to prevent the next chunk of data reaching the soundcard in time, thus causing it to skip.
For all of you who are siding with the employee concerned - don't bother. If you're ever called upon to sign an NDA, you can make that decision for yourself, just as he did. He decided to sign it; he decided to breach it. His fault.
What we should really be concerned about is the willingness of Yahoo to roll over for a corporation. If you went to them and said, "I want to know all the info you have on this person", they'd tell you to buzz off. Why is a corporation treated differently? In fact, this isn't even a criminal case; it's a civil suit, so it's not obstruction of justice to not release the necessary info.
Hahahaha. You have to laugh at this kind of weak-minded money grubbing bullshit. These guys are out of their tiny little minds if they think people are going to stand for that.
I especially like the "...regardless of whether they are taking that course that year" bit. Hey, we don't care whether you're learning or not; we just want your money!
Interesting that you assume I'm American... I live in Japan, and my nationality is no business of yours or anyone else, but I can assure you that I am not a product of the United States of America (or Britain, for that matter).
Surprisingly enough, it worked;) I've never tried posting in Japanese on Slashdot, mainly because I assumed that it wouldn't pass the codes correctly, but now that I think about it, some people have been using usernames with umlauts, etc. - no reason why EUC or S-JIS shouldn't work, then (although I think you'll find that Slashcode would choke on JIS; not that I've tried it, but I think it would probably strip out the escape codes.)
I love these broad, sweeping statements made by people who have experience with at most two or three languages, all of which are European;)
Try learning Japanese. Then try learning Chinese. Next, try Thai.
Japanese is easy to speak, a real bitch to read. Chinese is about as hard to read (a lot easier if you know Japanese), but a lot harder to speak for someone who doesn't have any experience with tonal languages. Thai is easier to read than either Japanese or Chinese, but is tonal, so it's about as hard to speak as Chinese. Korean is about as easy (or slightly easier) to read as Thai, but about as hard to speak.
Thus, coming from a European background, you would find Chinese and Japanese the hardest to read, and Chinese/Thai/Korean the hardest to speak.
Face it, there's an awful lot of different languages out there, and no generalization will apply to all of them (or even a majority of them).
Actually, the preponderance of English as the lingua franca among the "upper classes" in India is a very common phenomenon in countries that were once colonies of a power using a language that is not native to the colony.
Take a look at the Philippines - they have Tagalog (not called that, but effectively the same) and English as common languages. India has English and Hindi; some African countries use English for business and politics. The reason is quite simple; trying to enforce the use of one language that is native to the country will piss off everyone in that country that doesn't already speak it, leading to "tribal warfare". Thus, a language that is relatively "neutral" (most often that belonging to the former colony-holder) is substituted, allowing for equality between all citizens of the country. It's a quite well-known sociolinguistic phenomenon.
OK, time for all you idiots that have been calling RMS a maniac to eat your words. He was dead on target with this one.
Quite frankly, I find the idea that you can be charged for reading over someone's shoulder one step short of the "Thought Police". No way would I ever spend money on a textbook that was licensed like this.
(BTW, I work for a publishing company, and I can tell you that the higher-ups would drool at the idea of such a system. The day I have to work on such a book is the day I quit my job.)
Don't bet on it. I seem to remember a ruling a while ago where a database can be copyrighted even if the information it contains is in the public domain. The gist of the ruling was that the creation of the database in and of itself resulta in a copyrightable work, thus making it a breach of copyright to copy the database without the owner's permission.
Tough luck. Grip will let you set any database you like; when ripping a CD, use CDDB for the first retrieval of CD/track titles, etc., switch the settings over to FreeDB, and submit them. I do it all the time.
And it's better because it ends after the author decide to end it.
You have got to be kidding. Shogakkan made Toriyama extend that series so much that it was a running joke among manga readers in Japan. I mean, c'mon, the last couple of years of DragonBall were total crap.
FYI, several shops in Akihabara (in Tokyo) were running sales on AMD chips last week because of their recent price reductions. You could pick up a 1GHz classic Athlon (not a Thunderbird) plus a motherboard for around 40000 yen (that's about $US370). They didn't last long...

No way will you be able to get the kernel to compile with anything other than gcc/egcs. Believe me, I've tried.

I'd say that it's pretty obvious that an .xxx domain would be a porn site... ;^)

I like the "modest fee" bit. How many people make that much money from banner ads anyway? They're living in a dreamland...

Unfortunately, it isn't a trademark of the OSI. Their application was turned down on the grounds that the term "Open Source" is too broad.

...little will run on my 233MMX libretto (think Linux is exempt? ever tried running GNOME on one of these?)
Well, I've tried on a Toshiba SS3000, which is basically a 233MHz Libretto in a B5 case, and it runs fine for me.
"We need to collectively work to decrease the overall power of the platform."
I think Microsoft is already doing enough work in that direction as it is, thank you very much...
Who do you think killed the power supply? ;)
Ph33R my 5ki11z!
Luckinly, not everyone in the world uses American English ;) Japanese/Chinese/Korean look basically the same as binary data to most applications.
Yeah. I used to play that game for hours...
No, I'm pretty certain that Y was a replacement for X (Window, that is). Hang on a minute... ah, found it. Take a look here.
