I would rather have my teeth removed through my arse then try to Install mythTV again. I created a partition on my htpc box for linux and mythtv. Big waste of time.
It doesn't matter who does what first these days. It's who make its popular and after a while people will associate that product with the person who marketed it the best.
LA is in California, California is the worlds 5th largest econemy and is helping prop up the rest of the US. The destruction of LA will take the rest of the US with it, maybe not in physical destruction but econemy wise.
- Everyone is issued with a swipe card, it contains very little information, and physically it contains even less, just a serial number and locations of the nearest booths to your house.
- Every touch screen is identical, hardware and software country wide. There will be no reason for the software to have one different byte compared to another machine.
- You swipe your card thru the machine. You input your D.O.B, this is just to stop people from finding a bunch of cards and using them.
- Now the canidates for your area appear, no matter where you are voting, different state, different country(in a embassy or such) - remember all machines are identical.
- You vote. You confirm your vote. Your card serial number is sent to all other ballot booths and main servers saying dont accept this card again, Its used.
- Periodically each machine communicates with each other in the same room, just to share raw numbers as a backup. You could also share with other machines in different areas and states. Just raw numbers (and a timestamp) on how many times someone has voted on each machine not who they voted for. Later on these machines can communicate back with each other to check that the timestamps and the raw numbers that go with them still match.
- Once polling has closed the machines start sending the complete raw numbers and also the canidate vote numbers back to the main servers.
I use the US a oversized transit lounge (LAX is a disgrace) to get to more intresting places such as Mexico, looks like I'll have to find another way to get there from Sydney.

Buzzt Wrong, to get my tuner card working I would have to edit and recompile the kernel, which failed.
I have better things to do.

I used to use win 95 on a 386 dx-40 with 4mb ram. Took a bit of time to boot but it ran okay.
Or someone will slap an "Evolution is only a theroy" on them.
;)
Perhaps a job for those MIT pranksters from a previous slash dot story.

Think again, the US is not that great.
The US is all talk and ego and with not that much punch when it comes to a lot of things.
I have AIM, I use it through Trillian and I think I have two people on that contact list, and those people are on my MSN or Yahoo list anyway.
Infact most people I talk to use Yahoo or MSN and to a lesser extent ICQ. AIM is dead to me.
Getting your teeth pulled is more fun than setting up MythTv.
Too late, this is slashdot, no one reads the article.
Yup, Sooner or later the world is going to send around the repo man and the US econemy will collapse.
This will probably happen when most money is kept in Euro's instead of American Dollars.
Get over the terrorist thing. Stop letting them win with your paranoid thoughts.
Not so dumb.

Thats the way we do it in Australia too, works well.
But some people have a "need" to apply technology to everything.

Excellent idea, let it carry some cargo up there, nothing to important and let it bring a certain amount of space junk home.
Win-Win situation for everyone.
It may be popular but it doesn't make it good.
The problem with CS is the community, there are to many little teenages and hormones and not enough maturity.
I remember back in the 90's of the QuakeWorld Team Fortress community, where the words "cheat," "lame," and "STFU noob" were no where to be found.
Because its Java which is a memory hogging bloated bit of crap.
Talk to NASA or Haliburton. They are the experts.
Doom3 does have a plot but its not as in-your-face as other games.
The plot is fleshed out by reading the PDA's, like what was going on before all hell broke lose etc.
Also after the game you should take some time to think about what was going on with Swann and his body gaurd and what was Sarge's real motives were.
For now...

I have a feeling this will just be Windows XP with service pack 2 and a few other things.
It wouldn't be slashdot without a misleading Linux friendly title and Blurb.
Its the Fox news of the internet.
Never had a bluetooth enabled device, never needed one I guess. Didn't really know what it was all about.
Patch has probably been ready for a while and they were probably testing it.
You don't suggest they release an untested patch right?
