Be careful when using cygwin! The cygwin library is GPL, not LGPL, so any software you write that uses the cygwin library must be GPL, unless you buy a cygwin contract. If the software you write is for yourself or for internal use for your company, you should be alright. You may want to check out the actual GPL and faqs for it at GNU's site. If your company has a lawyer team, you may want to consult them too.
Seeing that you have to talk to the redhat sales team for a contract, I imagine it's pricey.
It's almost perfectly integrated with DirecTV. That's something that Tivo lacks, and most Tivo owners don't know they're missing. For example, it's a bitstream-pure capture from the satellite. I think this is a bad example of what TiVo lacks. DirectTiVo's also do this...
All the guide information is captured with the program - click Info when you watch a recording, and you get all the title and description, no matter how much later you watch it. Okay, instead of clicking "Info", you click on the right arrow on TiVo.
The expanded guide is terrific - title, actors, and plot summary for every movie and most serial shows. Tivo's give you this, plus original air date, episode numbers, directors, writers, and executive producers in some cases.
I'll give you that the UTV probably has better integration with your VCR. However, the hackability of the TiVo units is incredible...
Re:ah, the noble apostrophe

Emigrating DVD's?

· Score: 1, Offtopic
Funny, my college grammar book (The Modern Writer's Handbook), and the MLA handbook gives cases where it's proper to use the apostrophe for plurals.
From The Modern Writer's Handbook: Add an apostrophe and s to form the plural of words being named, letters of the alphabet, abbreviations, numerals, and symbols. The apostrophe _may_ be obmitted with capitals without periods: TVs, UFOs, PhDs.
So, according to this rule, DVD's, DVDs, and dvd's are all okay. "dvds" is not.
The MLA handbook says pretty much the same, except do not use them with numerals or abbreviations.
In this case, DVDs and dvds are correct, while dvd's and DVD's are incorrect.
I haven't learned that much from these books, but I do remember some of the obscure rules...
To be on-topic, wouldn't it be possible to use DeCSS to rip a DVD, transcode it from PAL to NTSC, and then burn it to a DVD-R?
It may not be cost effective, seeing that the last time I looked DVD-R's are about the same price as DVD movies.
One reason to use computer speakers would be to avoid a ground loop. I have my computer hooked up to my stereo, and I created a nasty ground loop. I tried putting in a radio shack ground loop isolator. While it muted the ground loop, it also killed my bass.
So, I figure I have a few options: One, try to get everything on the same ground. This would be nearly impossible, since my computer is running through the UPS, and I don't have access to my cable company's grounding. Second, buy a more expensive ground loop isolator. Third, get a sound card with a digital out and an amp that has a digital in.
If the original poster goes with the amp, instead of speakers, I recommend looking at amps with digital inputs. The info pages on his sound card says it has a digital output.
There are other reasons why they need the phone number in addition to just trying to call them. See this comment. I wish I had my CDMA book to go into more detail.
See this comment, which should be modded up. From his description, he works for the same company I do and can verify the details. A few people from my group went to support this, including somebody in the cube next to me. Yes, it would require the cell phone to be on and powered.
I spent over a year trying to get @home cable service, since that was all that was available where I lived. Now, that I have had a whole month and a half of decent service, they might be going under?
They better not file for backruptcy, because I expect a refund for the time it's been down!
What wrappers are you refering to? Have you tried to convince them to use suexec wrapper? If you can do that, you can make a PHP binary, make it
owned by you. Then make all your php files mode 500 and owned by you.
Something to watch out for is Ground Loop problems. It causes a low hum in your audio setup, sometimes even if your amp isn't switched to your computer. In fact, the video out from my computer was part of a ground loop problem in my setup. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to isolate/fix it, so whenever I'm not listening to mp3's I have to unhook my computer.
If computer programs aren't expressive speach, then according to the Copyright office's website, it won't be covered under copyright law. See Circular 1, which lists Copyrightable works. They don't have a category for compute programs, but make this recommendation:
For example, computer programs and most "compilations" may be registered as "literary works"
It goes further by saying that "works that have not been fixed in a tangible form of expression" "are generally not eligible for federal copyright protection".
So, if programs aren't expressive speach, then where does that leave the copyright status of the million of computer programs out there? Is that a Pandora's box that the court wants to open?
Now, I'm not a copyright lawyer, so I'm not sure where or if this is in actual law. If anybody else knows, I'll be interested in hearing.
The My Netscape portal was great for having very customized content, i.e., anyone could create a channel and publish it. The top news stories for a lot of the sites I visit (slashdot, freshmeat, mozilla, mozillazine, and a few others) were on my front page.
Now that the custom channels are gone, what alternatives do we have for this portal?
At Notre Dame, the CSE department was just too small to have a dedicated CSE study abroad program.
Instead, the College of Engineering offers a summer study abroad program in London which consists of two general engineering courses. One class is an economics class, and the other is an ethics class. Both are in the context of engineering in general. While both have very little to do with my major, it is part of my "well-rounded education".
So, I would check out your engineering office and see what they have to offer. If worse comes to worse, take the summer off, get a couple buds, and travel for a month.
Everyone. If I want to make a mix CD of music I own, then I have that right.
In fact, see MP3' Users' Rights at emusic.com. They give you permission to play CD-R's burned with their music (as long as you own a licence for their music).
Another advantage of flash rom is you can use a utility to save databases to flash, which is great if you need to reset your palm and don't have access to your synced information. I've been using Flash Pro to backup databases.
You'll have to watch out, because there are some Palms that don't have a flash rom, such as the Palm IIIe. This chart shows the palms that do and don't have flash (listed as "Upgradable").
If you ever need two-way paging needs, check out the Motorola Timeport 935. It has very similiar PIM applications like the Palm and can beam information too/from a Palm. Problem is, 3rd party application support is sparce.
Finally, see what your company will pay for. You may find out that the company either provides or has discounts setup for PDA's.
Shouldn't we now start putting licences on specifications now? Something along the lines of:
By implementing this standard you agree to acknowledge the use of this standard. You must do one of the following:
Implement the standard fully
Extend specifications as long as modifications are published with no further limitations and submitted to owers of this standard. Extensions must not prohibit interoperability with a system that implements the standard fully.
IANAL, but wouldn't this help prevent the "embrace & extend"?
Even though opening some of Flash is great, why doesn't shockwave get the same type treatment?
Look at http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/alter nates/, they have flash players for a few unices (Sun, Linux, IRIX), and seems to be keeping these up to date.
Why haven't they ported shockwave yet, anybody know?
I think what this person is saying is: you cant play a dvd in your region before it is released in your region, because of the region encoding. This programs gets around these limitations.

I personally think that they "sold out" when they had a portal site, which I find to be an annoying trend.
I'll be honest, I have a portal for my start page. But, when I want to download the latest version of Netscape's browser, I don't want to search through a list of categories trying to find the one that the browser is under (yeah, I know it's under Netscape, but this is an example, so work with me). The idea of hiding the product seems counterintuitive to me. http://www.netscape.com/netscape should be the home page, and the current home page should be http://portal.netscape.com, http://search.netscape.com, or something like that.
So, I think the new redhat page is a good thing. I'll admit, I looked only at a few pages. But I do know this, going to the Errata page took half as many "clicks."
Try a CD-RW. From what I read, it has a different color dye and it can be read in DVD players.
While I haven't tried one in a DVD-drive, my Sony DVD-player plays it without a hitch. Which has a side benefit of being able to blank the CD and record a new copy on it.
This was an audio CD, and not a VCD, though.
The only CD-R I have with music on it doesn't work. It has a data track first and then an audio track second, which may be confusing the thing.

I think he was talking about a building not having any windows to be secure, rather than the amount or kind of light in the room.
:P
People can't see the LED's if they can't see in your windowsless building. You also won't be able to see the sun
