Actually, I believe this show toured to fringe festivals all over North America 2 years back. I know he came to the Edmonton (Alberta) fringe festival with it, and he was back last year with the one man Lord of the Rings...
I realise that if it just happened there may not be a huge amount of information available yet, but surely you could link to something a little better than well...nothing.
And I have to question what little info you have given... after all, I'm pretty sure the FBI (an AMERICAN organization) can't directly raid a rackspace location in ENGLAND... don't they have to arrange with their friends in the relevant British agencies to do something like that?
I think you're thinking of the XL2, not the XL1. the XL2 (is? will be? - I'm not sure if it's out yet) true HDV 1080i. the XL1 isn't. When you record 16:9 with the XL1 it just does a crazy stretchy thing on good old DV resolution

if the RBL in question is based on parsing the text of the message, then I'm pretty sure you have to let the message be transfered anyway... So, not really a problem in this case.
yes, you are missing something. when they swap out a part in the auto world, they don't have a big sticker on the car "contains part #1235" where the new part is actually part #1999
It's my view that the industry has decided there is one main operating system competitor to Microsoft, and that is Linux. Linux means two companies: Red Hat and SuSE, and nobody else. There will be no third distribution that will be supported by the large IT vendors.
All he's saying is that in the corporate market most of the support is related to these two companies.
Personally I think he's wrong, but he's not trying to deny the existance of other distros or anything.
I'll agree that the show is good, the writing is good, etc. but... they actually arn't that good with continuity... Overall storywise they are, but...
For the first couple of seasons they did all the things you would expect, sending probes through the gate first and stuff... Now they just seem to go wandering through with no idea what's on the other side...
Or, for the first season (more or less) They pretty much got thrown and came rolling out the gate.. Now "everything exits at the velocity it enters" (And yes I know they babbled an excuse for that last season)
Major Songphon tests his latest invention - a net-shooter to entangle would-be agressors... wearing his latest invention, a lightweight bullet-proof vest able to stop a round from a.357-calibre Smith & Wesson.
I can accept that he's working on two things at once, but they can't BOTH be "his latest"
I wonder if ANY format will REALLY become popular, until someone makes a dual-layer dvd recordable, so that it can hold a (relatively) simple copy of a purchased movie... After all the "killer app" for cd-r/rw was probably piracy / legitimate copying of commercial cds, I don't really see why it should be any different for dvd recordable.
So write him back and explain (resonably!) why 4 individuals expressing their opinion to their representative is NOT spam... If he continues to accuse you of spamming, I *believe* (IANAL, bla bla) he is guilty of slander or somesuch...
Oh ya. And for god's sake, use snail-mail. they tend to pay WAY more attention...
But they would have to have some pretty good computer control stuff too...I mean, just think what would happen of a squadron of remote control aircraft went to attack the enemy, and the enemy turned on a radio jammer....
the thing is, last time I was chatting with the guys at my DSL provider, they said that web/email/barely any bandwidth usage is what 70% of their users do...
so if the ISPs are basing their pricing on that, one can see why they might not be able to afford enough bandwidth for the really high bandwidth users...
Not necessarily... I suspect that the idea is something like needing the coordination on the right stick more (steering & some weapons perhaps?) than on the less important buttons on the left side...
Regular readers might notice a certain kind of nasty post that we aren't used to, calling names and otherwise trying to intimidate people who post moderate opinions
you may be right, I have no idea...but, any conclusion based on not being used to nasty posts on slashdot... WOW! someone hasn't been reading slashdot for a LONG time...
I don't know that much about yenc (beyond using it)
however I DO know that yenc binaries are recognised by the =ybegin at the beginning of the binary. Not, as this guy complains, by the subject line. he says: "yEnc continues to use the Subject line for this. It relies upon "yEnc" being in the Subject to determine that the message contains a yEnc binary..."
if the article can't even get that basic a fact right, I wonder how valid the rest of his complaints are?
Speaking as an Albertan Yes, this is a cool tech project, yadda yadda.
However, the alberta government is doing this at the same time as they are introducing budget cuts to other little things like hospitals... The public school teachers are on strike (and the government claims there isn't any more money to pay them)... if we killed this project, I wonder if all the money that is going into this could do some real good, in more essential areas
(I mean, it's not exactly hard to get high speed internet in most of the province already!)

Thank you... So I'm not the only one that thought the CapitalOne email was weird...

I agree that Gutenburg's press and all those that followed are important. the jump to the scanner *may* not be so obvious.

The original version of the Domesday book, written in 1086, presumably on some form of parchment, is still more-or-less readable.
The digital version prepared...17 years ago, on 12" video disk is, at least for all practical purposes, unreadable.

According to the article, the system comes on (and grabs the last couple of minutes) whenever they turn on the flashers/siren
it doesn't say when the system shuts off again.

he's probably talking about software DVD players...
I believe winDVD and powerDVD both do things like this...
I can't speak about component DVD players with any knowledge though...so there could well be some of them that do the same thing.
nope.
but your parents can, as the "designers"...
But they would have to have some pretty good computer control stuff too...I mean, just think what would happen of a squadron of remote control aircraft went to attack the enemy, and the enemy turned on a radio jammer....

this is a complete shot in the dark of course....
1) Use directional microphones, or else throat mikes. This will make the neigbour's microphone only pick some one up very quietly, if at all.
2)if there is still some echo problem, it should be quiet enough that simple (software) noise gates should solve the problem.
a PRIVATE office is not public performance, that I can figure.... And private performance is generally allowed...
then how is it that they manage to give so many specifics about said mini-sub?
they offer options too, but I got the feeling that SOMETHING was part of the estimated price...

*Downloading* is in itself not illegal - it's uploading that's illegal. Non-commercial downloading is specifically exempted. From NETA:
yes...
but if he paid them to do it, then it's not reallly non-commercial, is it?
