  1. Re:skype-rec on Recording Skype Audio for Broadcast? · · Score: 1
    I don't know how high quality this is going to be for you, but it may be a start. http://sf.net/projects/skype-rec/ It will record the calls for you, and can then convert them to mp3 or anything else sox can handle.
    It actually uses sox for mixing both ends of the conversation into one wav file, and then uses lame or oggenc to convert to the final result (or, you can not encode it at all, and leave it as a mixed wav). You can give it arbitrary options to lame or oggenc.

    skype-rec works great.

  3. Re:Caydiem on Ask Questions of the World of Warcraft Team · · Score: 1

    One of our druids has tanked Onyxia, and is a standard offtank in MC.

    Also, shapeshifting removes all debuffs. Boy that sure isn't overpowered.

    Which one of you is Caydiem sleeping with, to make druids so powerful?

    Check http://www.sensatronics.com/ They sell very neat network-attached environmental sensors which are very easy to work with.

  6. Re:Well done, Chris! on Google Launches Google Code · · Score: 1

    I sure do want to thank you for saturating my connection. No, really. I appreciate it.

  7. Wonder if it's the same people who've called me on No Call List Bypassed Using Call Centers in India? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I've been on my state's do-not-call list for 2 years now, and I'm on the federal one as well now, but I've had 3 recordings left on my answering machine. They're all offers for satellite TV hookups, go on for quite some time, and only leave a number.

    "Again, I can hook up all the TVs in your house with satellite for $XX a month."

  8. Re:Too bad on OS Review: NetBSD 1.6.2 on SPARC64 · · Score: 3, Informative

    Thanks for that pointer... after toying with it for a while, I realized that if I simply created the ld0* devices by hand (a serious pain in the ass), everything was fine and the installation could continue.

  9. Too bad on OS Review: NetBSD 1.6.2 on SPARC64 · · Score: 1

    I can't get it to install on my AlphaServer 2100. I actually attempted a NetBSD 1.6.2 install on it a couple nights ago. The kernel appears to detect the DAC960 RAID controller on boot, but then claims there are no disks attached to the system. Fun fun. FreeBSD locks up whilst scanning the PCI bus.

  10. DRI on XFree86 4.3.0 in Debian Unstable · · Score: 1

  11. well on Bandwidth in Little Rock, AR? · · Score: 4, Informative

    my company just recently switched from an OC-12 to a pair of gigabit fiber connections between our Conway and Little Rock offices... no idea how much we pay per month for it, but SBC *was* able to do it.

  12. Re:MYTHTV does this allready! on Build Your Own PVR · · Score: 1

    I've used the WinTV Go cards, an AverTV Stereo card, and my current card is a Hauppauge PVR-250 (hooray for hardware MPEG-2 encoding). Support for the hardware decoding on the PVR-350 is still sort of tricky (I opted to not go for that yet).

  13. Re:MYTHTV does this allready! on Build Your Own PVR · · Score: 3, Informative

    Pehaps for you. I've been using MythTV for about a year now, and it's wonderful. My MythTV machine has a higher uptime than my firewall right now. The Debian packages work great.

  14. Crashing ATMs on Public BSOD Sightings? · · Score: 1

    A few weeks ago I went to a bar with some friends from work. Walking down the street, we stopped at an ATM to get some cash. When we came out a couple of hours later, the ATM's screen was showing an OS/2 crash dump. It made us mildly paranoid, considering we'd just used it.

  15. ran into this at work recently on L.A. County Bans Use Of "Master/Slave" Term · · Score: 3, Interesting

    in our case, a member of the team was giving a presentation explaining how our LDAP servers were set up to allow for load balancing and failover. the presentation referred to the master and slave LDAP servers. a member of the audience told him that was offensive to her, and demanded that they cease using those terms.

    god people piss me off.

  16. I was a beta tester... on There Inc - Propagating the Bad of Society? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    When I first heard about it, I saw the word 'metaverse' bandied around. I was also led to believe that it would be amazing looking. So, I signed up to be a beta tester. Some time later, I got an email inviting me to download and install There. I installed windows on a spare partition, installed the 'game', and cranked it up.

    The disappointment in my apartment was thick enough to cut with a knife. <i>There</i> is like the metaverse in the same way that ENIAC with a few thousand blown tubes is like ASCI White. I agree with all the points outlined in that article - <i>There</i> isn't.

  22. Re:I faxed Huckabee... on "Super-DMCA" Bills In Tennessee and Arkansas · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Agreed. I've gotten about 20 people to fax him today, and I'm planning on calling his office later today, as are a couple of my co-workers (2 of whom are also college professors). We're also sending a carefully crafted email to our CEO to try and point out the places where this 'Super-DMCA' could possibly harm our ability to effectively do business in this state.

  23. Re:Blame Educational Institutions. on HP Calculator Department Closing · · Score: 1

    Heck, I've still got my 32SII, it's sitting right next to my mousepad. I've been using this calculator since I was in 10th grade (and I'm now 3 years out of college). I got it at the suggestion of our high school physics teacher, who insisted that the HP RPN calculators were superior... I was a little dubious at first, but I went ahead and splurged and got the 32SII, and after about a week of getting used to RPN, I fell in love with it. 10 years later, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it - it still works just as good now as it did the day I got it. As long as I feed it new batteries when it needs them, it treats me well.

    My 32SII was also my first foray into programming - the 'time value of money' and 'prime number generator' example programs from chapter 17 in the manual (and yes, I still have the manual) were my first programs... and to tell the truth, that led to me taking my first comp. sci. class, and led me down the programming road through college.

    Now I'm going to have to go out and find myself like a 49GX or something, before they disappear...
