"We need educational programs that expose students to equal amounts of technology and art. They should learn to program even as they study Michelangelo, rhetoric and recursion, algorithms and architecture." Do you think this would lead to better, more innovative, socially aware videogames?
I don't know about video games, but it sounds like it would lead to better, more innovative, socially aware people.
Unfortunately for all the American slashdotters, it has never been released in the US (not even on VHS or DVD), and probably will never be.
Lots of import versions are available. Poker Industries has several versions. There are probably lots of others places to get it including ebay and suprnova.
I wont buy any more home electronics that require a monthly/bimontly/annual fee to operate.
I feel the same way.
I want to buy a device, and be able to use it as often as I want without any further fees.
Ditto. That's why I got the lifetime subscription.
I was in early. It's been a few years. And that cost has amortized way below the monthly fee.
The subscription is just a choice. I don't why people have to obsess on it.
Don't like monthly fees? Add in the cost of the lifetime subscription. Make a purchase decision based on that total.
Doesn't a runas script require that the user know an Administrator password? Is there a way to do something likethis without giving them an admin password? Something like setuid?
There is a HD DirectTivo -- it works with an already-mpeg-compressed stream.
There is a "standalone" HD Tivo that has been shown, but I don't think is planned for sale. It can handle OTA ATSC (also an already-mpeg-compressed stream).
There is no "standalone" HD Tivo with component inputs for the technical reasons described in the grandparent post.
Yes, OTA HDTV cards work under Myth. Again the key is working with the compressed data.
As others have noted it's too much data for a PC & consumer affordable, real-time, HD-resolution MPEG encoding is a long way off.
What you need is a souce with firewire output. Firewire output has been "mandated" for cable boxes soon. The firewire stream is already mpeg compressed.
What if I come from a country that doesn't have
an iris scan embedded in a passenger's machine-readable passport?
Also, Keratoconus is a disease that causes the cornea to deform. This would cause scans of your iris to change.
Also, people with this often have cornea transplants. The stitches (which are sometimes left in "forever") are right over the iris.

Plasma displays seem to have gotten all the media attention for some reason, but DLP projectors and displays are superior in just about every measurable way:
DLP is not superior with respect to black-levels, "white chrush", thin-ness, and making people nauseous ("rainbows").
There is no one answer that fits all when TV shopping. There are trade offs.
Ditto. I loved Cryptonomicon and most of his earlier works. I was chafing for Q to come out, got it on the first day, and got less than 100 pages into it before I put it down to read something else. I haven't gone back to it yet.
They took so long to come out, I kept forgetting the details. By the time the 3rd came out I had to re-read the first 2 before I read it. Ditto for the 4th. I'll probably never bother for the 5th.

You're welcome. Any other questions?

We need HD firewire support for MythTV. Supposedly, firewire output from cable boxes has been mandated for 4/1/04.
He wants to know if the Slashdot review was written by Charlie Stross.

Tivo is great. Can't live without it.
HD is great.
DirectTV will have an HD DirectTivo box very soon, if it's not out yet. There will not be a HD Tivo box for cable for a relatively long time.
I'd suggest waiting for the HD DirectTivo box to come out, then sign up for DirectTv. The best deals and newest boxes always go to new subscribers.

We're talking about VOIP to the middle-American home here.

Crap, I already bought 1633 because I liked 1632.
Well, let me consult my agent -- Mr. Irving R. POINTYSTICK!
So you predict cheap knockoff cable and satellite boxes? I think that'll be a little harder than multi-region DVD.
the Chewbacca offense!
