This sounds almost like java set up to have C keywords in it. Which, if you have studied many of the C family of languages, is usually the case with anything other than C/C++/C--.
I am actually a bit more of a BSD person at heart. Slack was my first real jump into Linux, but I have a good deal more experience with actual Unix Sys V, BSD, and that ilk as well. I've tinkered with Debian. I just think that they, like the BSD projects, are a bit more in what I have to offer them, since I really never heard a "Yeah, you can help us with this" from good ole Pat V.
"The new language, expected to be called C# and pronounced "C sharp," is a hybrid of C and C++"
That's interesting, since C++ is entirely backwards compatible with C, yet this causes the language to be a bit faulty in what it allows (generally, you like a language to have a rather tight definition of itself). C-- is C++ without the C.
Perhaps they didn't mean it as they said it? Perhaps it is developed from, what in the opinion of the developers, is the strongest portions of both? Perhaps it filters out the redundnacies and ambiguities?
Or perhaps they just didn't write what they meant, and meant JAVA from the start.
If you look around on ebay and several online retailers, you will see a list of states in which you have to pay taxes, due to their tax codes. Many sites have already dealt with this issue. It is particulary hard on sites that deal with multiple dealers, since tracking is difficult (IE some auction sites). Alas, some friends of mine and myself are boning up on this since we may be doing work for an e-commerce firm ourselves.
By Linux 7 do you mean Slack 7? The kernel isn't even on 3.0 yet! That's a great distro, though I am thinking of switching to debian because they seem a little bit more hacker-friendly (Slack is easy to compile programs in and all, but Debian seems to have more enthusiasm as to what I can contribute).
I have a BT848 capture card. I use the BTTV drivers. xawtv can capture (and with mods it can descrable). There are video cards with TV out, but it seems to be smartest to encode to mpeg for storage, so encode to mpeg, and then modify the DVD hacks that use a creative DVD card to playback your recordintgs to TV. Boom, you're done:-)

I was thinking more along the lines of just using xawtv for vidcap and playback, and perhaps some mods that allow for pausing, commercial elimination, stuff like that.

I have been pondering the possibility of using my computer for the same services. Perhaps a software package that has the functions of tivo is in order?
They are saving the academy awards for the few who are already tied into the business. Good, bad, or indifferent, this is the old boys network at work, and nothing else.
There is (almost) always a degrade in quality due to compression. I few parts of the mp3 compression algorithms cause sound degrade at just about any frequency (as I recall, I may need to go back over the code).
I also disagree with people who say "that's too hard" and "people aren't smart enough to do that." We aren't talking about anything hard here, popping in a sound card and ethernet, and a small linux distro. If someone put together a little pamphlet on it, it would be easier than assembling a swing set.
It would be pretty sweet if it mounted like a stereo component, could be openned and modified similar to a computer rack component (or a stereo rack component if you really put some thought into it).
Probably doesn't need disk space if all it is doing is playing it, could be done over the network, but network traffic would interfere with operation, of course.
What would be cool is if it did more than MP3. MP3 loses some of the sound quality (still love it though). Perhaps there are other formats out there begging to be ported to this that could be added with some sort of bios flash or software/hardware modification?
Domain names aren't a public domain thing, or property of the government. They are the property of the maintainer of the database (and there is more than one, just thing of alternic). What is to prevent me from creating my own database of, and having people register to me? Will the government ultimately rule over my business if I do? Perhaps we should start our own DNS registry. We could even enable mozilla to pick which registry it wants to look at. Kinda a neat idea. If it caught on, it would certainly put a new spin on things and a new perspective on what exactly we are dealing with all around.
Everybody in power considers the net to be the exception to the rule as far as having any rights is concerned. They side with whatever they feel will set a precident/piss off the people with less lawyers/big companies. Go figure. Unfortunate, but such is human nature.
My school is totally unix in the CS department, and sells the Burks CD's every semester. Almost every student, therefore, has a copy of redhat 5.2 laying in their room. Also, a lot of students burn CD's with various linux distros (go Slack) and hand them out in class. Any school that does not teach its freshmen actual coding, is not teaching them computer science, and is not doing them any favors. In 10 years, where will they be, and are they really computer scientists? I know graduate students who fail out because they don't have enough actual computer science background. I am tired of people in this forum who think that pointing and clicking = computer science. Go and get a degree, and then yell at me, ok?
C was written as a standard language under the Unix environment, and then Unix was rewritten in C to ease portability. Pretty much by the same people. Most Unix texts make references to the C language, and vice versa.
Most Universities teach on a UNIX system by choice. Where the hell did you go to school that opted for windows? How many PhD's do you know that got there by pointing and clicking that paper clip under windows? Perhaps if you had any credentials, you would know a little bit better. C and Unix were developed for each other, it's a historical fact, you need references? Go to the CS section of ANY university book store and find their Unix textbooks. There are surely some historical references. My personal belief is that you don't know where you stand. The only reason that they even bother putting NT on high end boxen is to cater to users like you. If you didn't notice, the primary operating system of almost every computer other than intel based PC's is a Unix variant, ever wonder why? It's not because MS doesn't care enough about the server market.

I got the impression that it was merely a review of different implementations. Sounds good to me.
Doesn't look to bad, but it would be better (in my opinion) if it covered the algorithms used in mp3. They are the most interesting part!

This is not about domain rights. This is about PETA felt insulted, wanted a way to strike back, and saw that the domain name was an easy target.
