Just to clear up the slight misunderstanding. At first the German airforce was bombing strictly military targets in England, in order to soften it for invasion. However, one night. a single German pilot became lost and accidentally dropped his bombs over central London, prompting a retaliation by the British airforce, during which they bombed Berlin for the first time during the war. This so outraged Hitler that he ordered all strikes on military targets, such as the RAF, to be stopped and ordered a merciless concentrated bombing attack on London itself, now known as "The Blitz". Before this started leaders of the RAF had estimated that they could only hold out maybe a couple more weeks, before loosing so many aircraft, so much equipment and personal that they'd become completely ineffective as a fighting force. This break allowed the RAF to rebuild and resupply their airfields, repair their equipment and planes, and allowed the pilots and ground crews a respite from constant bombing. So yes, it was a rather dramatic turning point in the Battle of Britain.
I am so sorry for your losses and those of your friends/family.
But think objectively about it for a minute if you will, and you'll have to agree that your experiences are a bit of a statistical anomaly.
Lets see, I can read 224 pages, and take weeks learning why I smoke, how to combat withdrawal, and work on changing my life to remain smoke free..... OR.. I can take a quick lil shot and be done with it?? hmmm let me think
If you're using nVidia's drivers, yes, it is. On Windows, it works with any graphics adapter you're likely to find in use, and you don't have to dick around with "restricted drivers."
hmmm... yeh.. Because, under Windows, EVERY driver is restricted
It doesn't use QT or GTK but that doesn't make it inoperable on a KDE or Gnome desktop.
Umm.... Call me crazy, but Im pretty sure OpenOffice uses GTK as it's GUI toolkit, even if it is it's own "internal" version ( at least on Linux and Windows )
You make cookies with your username and password in them? Where'd you buy the cookie cutter? What are they molasses cookies? I'm guessing this is so you can eat them in a hurry when the FBI/NSA/HLS is knocking on your door? Keep a cold glass of milk handy!
Am I the only one who thinks the default look of OS X, with that *gag* wallpaper, is cheap lookin?
Personally I prefer a subtle background, and slighty dark default color scheme. Most of my time I'm looking at the information IN the application, not the application itself. A muted color scheme lets the UI features fade to my eye, while I concentrate on what I'm doing.
When the actual F-35 is deployed, it will defeat those countermeasures and deliver its nuclear payload to Beijing -- on time and on target.
An F-35 to deliver a nuclear payload to Bejing?
I shutter to think of what might have happened to all the submarine launched missiles, land based ballistic missiles, B-2 stealth bombers, B-1B bombers, even cruise missiles?
What form of catastrophy would leave the US in the position of needing to nuke Bejing, and having no more approriate asset left to do it with, then it's second line fighter?
I was just thinking to myself as I read the article, about how to distribute a commercial version...
How about having a base price, of say $200, so every purchase helps fund the project... plus, the option of paying another $100, which would directly pay for one child's laptop in a developing country. Possibly allowing a website where this child, and the donator could exchange e-mails back and forth ( a form of indirect moderated contact, would be better than direct contact, for various reasons I believe ), or something similar.
The commercial version could even have special graphics on the case to indicate the owner made such a donation, like a status symbol of sorts.
However you seem to missing the point.. chances are your card's TV out chip DOES support macrovision ( though personally I'd no idea what you chip might be), therefore you have no problems. My older GeForce2 MX400 contains a Conexant Bt868 which does not support macrovision. I can not watch DVDs no matter what I do, even using TV Tool, PowerDVD XP will complain "cannot ply cpoy protected DVD with TV Out enabled" or some similar message. Even if I DISABLE the Overlay video mirroring feature. I have been stuck using a really old 22.80 version of the driver under XP, since it's the only version where everything worked as it's supposed to, with my card, AND I can play DVDs. I have tried the newest drivers, and they also work great, but, I can't play DVDs... SO back to 22.80.
I have a US Robotics Big Picture video camera, which is really, just a simple composite video camera (although the one I have is NTSC not PAL, though the card will support PAL), and a composite only capture based on the BT848 chipset, ( ie, same as the Hauppage WinTV PCI, without the tuner, or audio capture, in fact I use the Haupagge drivers under WinMe ) which works great under linux.
As a bonus compared to the WinTV card you mentioned, the card is rather light with only a single RCA composite video in connector, and a small power outlet for the camera, and the board itself is only a half height board.
Last I know of 3Com took over the manufacture if these, and currently don't even list them on thier page, so they might not even make em anymore, but, it maybe possible to find some on Ebay, or elsewhere on the net.
"But what about Squids / Octopi / Starfish / other non bilaterally symmetric creatures? "
They aren't?? hmm.. that just depends on how you cut them I guess..;-)
For a Squid, cut him down from the middle the tail, down through the body, leave 6 tentacles on each side, cutting right though that little protruding thingy ( OK Im no marine biologist ) ta da you have 2 symmetric sides
Same deal with Octopi. just leave 4 tentacles.
And ok, now, what says you can't just cut one of those 5 legs of a starfish in half, when you cut it, and ta da, 2 even sides..
Sorry just think about your examples a little better;-)
This is how I got UltraDMA 33 working on my machine, RedHat 6.0 with an Asus P5A MB. First go download the source code for kernel 2.2.10 ( the patch wont apply very well to the RedHat kernel source ) check www.kernel.org for a mirror near you, get linux-2.2.10.tar.gz cd to/usr/src and rm linux then tar xvfz ~/linux-2.2.10.tar.gz Now you'll need the patch for Ultra DMA, you can get this at http://www.linuxhelp.org/linuxide/ The current filename is 2.2.10.uniform-ide-6.20.eridanus.patch.gz . download this file and place it in/usr/src the gunzip it, and type this command patch -p0 2.2.10.uniform-ide-6.20.eridanus.patch.gz now you can cd linux do a make menuconfig or xconfig and configure as you require, the new IDE drivers will be under block devices. make and install your kernel as normal:-). With a Quantum Fireball 6.4 gig UDMA drive I get a hdparm -t/dev/hda speed of around 13 Mps

The Hauppage WinTV PCI card works for a simple live feed, and I assume with proper software you could do MPEG-2 recording.. but it's not in hardware. Besides the driver is included right in the Linux Kernel ( the bttv driver ) thanks to Alan Cox:-). Just need a program to display the video, like Xawtv, etc.. search freshmeat.net for em lots out there..
But, really?? How many people who actually buy a Microsoft Distro of Linux? It's just wrooong... wroong... just wrooong.. it's just wroong..;-)

And then use it's marketing might to say "It does everything Linux does.. PLUS what NT does.."

Or with a sound card that supports it, just set the recording source to wave output, and use Audacity to record it, then save as an mp3.
Would a DRM enabled player, be able to disable this sound card feature, upon playing?

Taken of KDE 2.1.9=>20010223 ( ie.. a recent cvs snapshot ) and QT 2.3.0
