Video: ATI Radeon 9800 Pro w/TV out (composite & svideo). A
coax
line runs composite -> the TV in line of my receiver. Audio:
Audigy 2 card

To control it all: an ATI Remote Wonder
remote control. It works by RF with ~10M of range so the source computer
makes its noise in another room.
The Remote Wonder works well under
Linux and MacOSX although you may have to google for drivers.
If memory serves Microsoft bought QDOS (Quick and Dirty Operating System) from the Seattle Computer Company fair and square. Because they offered to license it to IBM and IBM accepted making MS buckets of money doesn't make it illegal or underhanded.
We had an SGI IRIX system rooted a while ago. One of those obscure machines that sat in a corner running for years, rarely updated or touched. When it was discovered that the machine was taken over the person that admin'd the machine left it exactly as is but firewalled and VLAN'd the machine from touching anything outside of a test VLAN he set up.
In February he gave us (network guys visiting his branch) a look at the machine and what he found. The machine, the root kit and the IRC bot were all left intact and running. It was pretty neat, he wrote up a lengthy port-mortem of the event.
I sent that link to my gf. She has 3 cats, 2 young ones which torment an older one. The old one stays in its room most of the time while the 2 others come in to play mean. I suggested she puts one of these at the entrance to that cat's room to keep the bad ones out.
like you don't really need a bluetooth keyboard and mouse on a home computer, it would be nice, but it not a problem to have wires there.
Actually I bought a Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse combo so I could sit back on the couch or recliner to play games on the TV or LCD projector. The range isn't great but I can move around without wires dangling (or my cat attacking them when they move)
Bluetooth would be cool for that as the range is much better than the Logitech solution.
Oh, I'm not arguing, I completely agree. (I work at a biomedical research facility Canada:)) That said, I don't disagree with keeping a military but selling all these expensive research projects as "essential for national security" is completely disingenuous.
Of course but that's not the way a military based economy works. You pump billions into the military (which employs a lot of people that would otherwise be unemployed), then when the research is done private companies market the products back to the government. It worked for the internet, right?
... and destroying what satellites would have helped in the "War Against Terror" or the invasion of Iraq?
This is another example of the military trickle-down economy. Pump billions into defense, justify it with fear ("The enemy is everywhere"), then some of that cash will flow down to the national economy.
Look at the bright side, the Canadian courts have rules that because you're forced to pay the starving artists, you also have the right to download music. Take advantage of it, there are a lot of neat bands out there.
Personally, as far as pay per tune goes, I've been using emusic.com. It's quite reasonable and there are some good bands I've found on it.
Sorry: I'm one what will download if it gets a crappy rating on IMDB.
As to the DVDR, I just bought some non-shiny 25 packs for $14.95 CA:) DVDShrink (the program I mention before) is idiot proof. Put disc in, hit copy. There are a lot of option to remove audio streams you don't want, etc. But yes, even the 5 minutes of prep isn't worth it for a lot of movies.
I know that some people here don't like the fact of "I'm not going to pay $9/ticket to see a movie but I'll download it for free" issue but it does exist.
I'm one of those people.
Not all movies. We have a "rule of thumb" that unless it gets a 7.0 or higher on IMDB (my peers, so to speak) we just don't go or download it. That all said, we rent DVDs once in a while yet very few of those are worth the effort to copy with DVD Shrink to DVD-R. Most recent movies are so-so one time views, that is what I think they're trying to grasp onto.

Not sure what a pre-sell copy would command on the open market. I mean, they can't go to eBay and say "This was sold 4 days early! Trust me!" If they wanted it that bad, grab it on P2P and buy it when it comes out. I've had it for a while, not bad but I stopped after maybe an hour and it hasn't touched my xbox since.
I think that's why the companies are so strict on release dates: poor reviews based on early releases could kill the hype
Let's assume you're an ISP and have a few big machines on the racks. Your customers don't want or need that much horsepower but want their webserver (which you maintain) to run under Linux, or NetBSD, or FreeBSD, or whatever.. You can do it.
Let's assume you're a developer and want to test your code under various OSs, now you can do it on the same box in realtime (read: no reboots)

I'm not sure. I have a spiral bound hard copy, I'll contact the author tommorrow and ask.

In Canada it's call AOL Canada they don't expand it to "America Online Canada" so perhaps "AOL Europe" or something.

I have what is supposed to be the PAL copy but it plays just fine on my X3 chipped XBOX. Would you like me to take some pictures with my camera?
Sheesh..

Will we totally obliterate piracy? No. But we have to make it as difficult as possible.
Suing people won't make downloading "difficult". Perhaps a bit riskier for those people in the US who happen to do so.
Regardless, I'm assuming they'll have to go to the ISPs individually with a court order for ID rather than the sweeping lawsuits the RIAA used?
Hrmmm...

The list goes on and on, it's a great technology.
