Well, why exactly are you "backing up" DV video? My idea of DV is that you capture it once before production, then edit/etc it, and turn it into something more manageable such as MPEG2 on DVD, etc. DV is 11Gb/hour is because its hardly compressed (it uses some kind of lossy compression that I dont remember), but once you have teh video and are done editing it etc, there is no point in keeping it as DV - just encode to MPEG2/AVI/your choice of format here. And if stuff is that important to you, well, find a place that will press your DVD-Rs into silver disks, and there you have it, more or less permanent storage of your favorite data.
I've never seen anything on eBay that wasnt a scam in one way or another. If I actually wanted something, I'd rather buy it from a reputable reseller, who accepts creditcards and not some "scampal" service, and from a company/website which doesnt look like it was designed using microsoft frontpage. And since none of the "deals" on eBay are actually available to normal people who just want the items (and instead picked up by scammers who snipe the auction at the last moment using some software for the sole purpose of re-auctioning it again later and making a profit), i wonder why do people care about eBay at all.
do everyone a favor, and buy your stuff from reputable resellers. hint, you won't find any at ebay, that's for sure.
There are 2GB SD cards out. That's more than plenty at 3-5mbps that these usually record at. Biggest solid-state CF card is also 2GB (as far as I remember). If you want more, you have 4 and 6gb microdrives and you're back to the problem of moving parts which you are trying to avoid by using solid state camcorder.
p.s. your panasonic url just keeps refreshing a blank page.
There are a number of solid-state MPEG4 recording camcorders like Sanyo's XACTI which save the video to a CF or SD card.
If your target for these recordings is to be watched on a TV in the classroom, then the quality provided by mpeg4 will probably be enough.
But if you're targeting broadcast, you probably want to pickup one of Canon XL2 minidv "professional" camcorders. That'll set you back about $4000.
The other day I downloaded Fedora Core 4 DVD to try it out.
Usability problems already began right at the installer. Below is some things I noticed that should probably have been fixed long time ago:
1) I noticed the installer was using gnome-themed Yes/No dialog boxes when it wanted to ask questions. The problem is, half of those dialogs used GTK2's Yes/No buttons (red/green circle) and the other half used GNOME's yes/no buttons - green enter symbol and a red X. This is very inconsistent and confusing to the user. 2) At a number of times, default option in a Yes/No dialog was not the "cancel" one but one which would make irreversible changes. This is not good - what if someone accidentally presses "enter" on a dialog like this? 3) Keyboard navigation, while present had several bugs. At one point, installer asked for a root password, and when I entered a "weak" password, it popped up a warning dialog about this. The problem is, after I dismissed the dialog (with a esc key), keyboard focus was no longer on the installer! (or anythign else for that matter, no amount of alt-tabbing or pressing tab would get the focus back on the installer. If someone without a mouse was running this, at this point they have no other choice but to abort the install and start from beginning.
There was some other issues, but these are all I can remember off hand, and remember, this is just in the OS installer (GUI) itself! I can't imagine how much worse it gets once the system is installed and gets used. So, to make a long story short, any kind of cooperation to take usability one step higher is certainly welcome. Unfortunately this is only for a single KDE app, which isnt really unique in its function, but any change is better than nothing.
Not world's first.
NTT had this out for a while, though it's not really selling very well: http://www.docomo.biz/html/product/cordless/n900il.html
The real problem with these is their cost, and the fact that normal people can't purchase them (You have to buy these as a business "solution" wiht prices starting at $2000+).
When in the office, these use company internal wifi network and a supposedly "standard" SIP implementation for VOIP. When outside, they use DoCoMo's new and crappy "FOMA" 3G technology.
I've been trying to get my office to get me some demo units of them, but with prices like these, its unlikely.
what do you mean by "Japanese standards"? They don't even use DVB-T, they use their own customized abortion called ISDB-T, and they use OFDM modulation instead of COFDM. Another words equipment that nobody else in the world cares about, incompatible receivers, etc. And what's the japanese fear of AC3 audio? AAC is shit, especially the currently broadcasted incarnation of it wiht cut off frequency of like 10khz.
propz to fabrice for pulling this off, it does seem like the method can be done "realtime" though I wonder on what kind of machine.

See, the problem is, BitTorrent has been originally created to distribute large files efficiently.
There's been plenty of legal use, I've downloaded slackware ISO's, funny spoofs of warez groups from Sony's www.welcometothescene.com website, and I download updates to my legally owned copy of X-Plane using BitTorrent.
On those downloads, I've never got less than 200-300k/sec, and I had no problem connecting to the official, legal, and stable tracker.
This whole trackerless bullshit (new BT beta as well as "new" distributed tracking in Azureus, was created for ONE purpose only - to distribute ILLEGAL content.
Legal trackers don't go down. How many times did you try to download Slackware 10.1 ISOs and the tracker was down? Never. But if you go look at your favorite torrent pirate site, how many torrents on there are hosted off some dweeb's DSL line at home? Probably 50% or more. What happens when BSA/MPAA/RIAA/*AA comes in and takes away his PC? Tracker goes down, oh noes, piracy cannot continue.
So this "solution" to a non-existent problem will simply promote piracy using BitTorrent, and sway it from the original goal of distributing large amounts of data.
But the real problem starts is when everyone (read: my ISP, their upstream provider, etc) will be told by BSA/MPAA/etc that "BitTorrent in any shape or form is illegal". They will shape down my downloads, and i'll be downloading slackware 11.0 ISOs at 5k/sec. THAT would bother me, and piss me off, espeecially because I couldn't give two shits about pirated american TV shows, and a few dweebs that do, would be ruining a good software/data distribution method for ALL of us.
I've never heard of this. I asked some friends on irc and they said this was some series directed or created or something by same dude who did buffy vampire or some other lame TV show.
How the fuck is this news? How is this news for NERDS, I've never heard of this junk.

GNAA exposes the dangers of hiring Latvians Impi - Associated Press, South Africa
GNAA's wish at expressing its displeasure at the re-election of the American lap dog Tony Blair embarked on a plan to demonstrate its frustration to the world.
It was decided to strike at the heart of the American kennel in New York City, the UK consulate. After careful consideration and deliberation by our great executive leaders it was decide that Areems was expendable.
Timecop, blessings be upon him, approached our Latvian charter and recruited Areems for this glorious endeavour. Areems has a history of failure and extreme uselessness; this was his chance to show the GNAA and the world that he was capable of great things.
Unfortunately he could only find a fake hand grenade which was discarded in his bedroom after a webcam orgy session with fellow nigger bedpan.
It is with immense humility that we apologies to all our brothers across the world for the destruction of a flower pot. Areems will be summarily executed and Latvia flushed.

What ever happened to people just shutting the fuck up?
Everyone who cares about what some no-name dude from HP has to say, raise your hands! Oh, right, that's what I thought.
The fact that HP allowed this tripe to begin in teh first place is quite puzzling. Shouldn't people working there be working, instead of writing mindless crap all day?
Real networks is dead. Their player is shit, Their audio compression isnt all that great (and not opensource), And nobody really cares about them anymore.
Their shitty practices of pushing their shitty player on every desktop and and hiding stupid marketing crap under invisible options in installer didn't win them any friends either.
is the insane amount of blogspam that it picks up. searching for a product name or model number, especially for anything new will bring up thousands of metoo blogs that copy & paste the same fucking press release over and over providing absolutely nothing new to the subject.
Also it's great that all GNOME/KDE junk was moved off the "install" disk back with version 10 (or was it 9.1?) anyway, there is no need to have multiple crappy desktop environments.
And CD1 of slackware should always be just the console stuff, i mean who the hell uses X on linux anyway, thats what Windows XP Professional SP2 is for.
Michael Sims Fired, Joins GNAA to Troll Slashdot Full Time
FREMONT, CA (TECHNEWS) - After a heated debate at Slashdot executive
offices, editor Michael Sims was locked out of the building and departed in a
tirade of lisping insults, vowing revenge immediately. This morning, industry
sources revealed that Sims has joined the infamous trolling organization Gay
Nigger Association of America with the intent of trolling Slashdot
fulltime.
In a short phone interview with Technews, Sims asserted that he was calm but
resolved on his course of action. "The Slashdot editors and I had a
disagreement," he explained. "I did it all for the users, but they..." he drew
the syllable out painfully, resting on a case full of Little League trophies
and certificates of participation from transgendered dating services, "They
just couldn't take my truth. They were -- babies, just babies, oh, the horror,
the abomination," he said, before being led away by three white-clad male
nurses.
According to Harvard Psychology Professor Arnold Rothstahlberg, "trolling"
is an internet phenomenon where dissenting users disrupt a site by flooding it
with absurd or paradoxical information. "It satisfies the primal id," he
said, chewing on a large, bulbous, phallic black cigar. "To justify themselves
by forcing their enemies into hysterics. It's a compensatory mechanism much
like getting back at the kids who beat you up in high school by installing
Linux and using it to pingflood their XP boxes and Macs."
Slashdot editor CmdrTaco was reticent to comment. At an interview conducted
in the crap-filled Ann Arbor bungalow he shares with his wife, to whom he
proposed over Slashdot, he said, "Well, you know, Slashdot is just a web site.
Michael should calm down about this. But if he doesn't, our corporate sponsors
will sue him until he's giving $4 blowjobs on Haight Street."
From the GNAA corporate headquarters, a mysterious floating island off the
coast of Newfoundland that few reporters have seen and even fewer have returned
from with their sexual identities intact, GNAA "Head Programmer" timecop said
he was glad to have Sims on hand. "From what I've seen of his postings on
Slashdot," said timecop, "he's a total fag. Which is convenient as all our
halfops need anal, and I can't handle the drama. That's what's worst about the
net: the drama."
Sims has been involved in previous internet firefights, most notably the
controversy over the censorware.org website in 2001. While Sims alleges that
the site was his creation that was sabotaged by others, his coworkers disagree.
Bennett Haselton, security consultant for the "Anarchy Anal" and "Chaos
Cumshot" websites, said of Sims, "We set up this website, and left him the
password. We have a disagreement, bam, the website goes down and someone raped
my two-week-old Labrador puppy with an iPod."
Slashdot Editor CowboyNeal, who was entangled in a whale net after
attempting to swim the English channel, spoke fondly of his former coworker.
"Michael always brought a certain passion to the work, a passion that was
easily ignited and led to many sweaty sessions in the corporate washroom," he
said. "I'm not at all surprised he joined an organization of gay niggers. He
always like something different and unique in his pasta salads."
Programmer Seth Finkelstein alleges that Sims is "totally unstable" and
agreed readily to this interview. "Of course, I'm a disinterested observer," he
said. "But anytime I see that closet psychopath and monkey nut-muncher stealing
the spotlight from hardworking programmers like myself, I have to speak up, for
the benefit of the people, of course," he said. Technews reporters were
permitted to leave the premises only after making a PayPal donation to
Finkelstein.
Mike Godwin of the EFF, who balances a career as privacy advocate with his
hobby of making videos of teen swingers blowing goats, agreed. "I've never met
another editor like Michael," he said. "And, since my regimen of retrovirals is
already costing me a

LOL @ getting jewed into wasting money for "50M" ADSL and actually thinking it only costs 4k or whatever.
Factor in having to live in one of the shittiest countries in the WORLD, inside a tiny 1x1 apartment with no central heating and a toilet you hover over to take a shit, and you're sure getting a good deal on that ADSL!
And to answer your question, NTT owns every single phone line your pathetic shit connects to, and all those retards leasing lines from them at a loss and reselling shitty overpriced NTT service will be gone sooner than later.

My idea of DV is that you capture it once before production, then edit/etc it, and turn it into something more manageable such as MPEG2 on DVD, etc. DV is 11Gb/hour is because its hardly compressed (it uses some kind of lossy compression that I dont remember), but once you have teh video and are done editing it etc, there is no point in keeping it as DV - just encode to MPEG2/AVI/your choice of format here.

FREMONT, CA (TECHNEWS) - After a heated debate at Slashdot executive offices, editor Michael Sims was locked out of the building and departed in a tirade of lisping insults, vowing revenge immediately. This morning, industry sources revealed that Sims has joined the infamous trolling organization Gay Nigger Association of America with the intent of trolling Slashdot fulltime.
In a short phone interview with Technews, Sims asserted that he was calm but resolved on his course of action. "The Slashdot editors and I had a disagreement," he explained. "I did it all for the users, but they..." he drew the syllable out painfully, resting on a case full of Little League trophies and certificates of participation from transgendered dating services, "They just couldn't take my truth. They were -- babies, just babies, oh, the horror, the abomination," he said, before being led away by three white-clad male nurses.
According to Harvard Psychology Professor Arnold Rothstahlberg, "trolling" is an internet phenomenon where dissenting users disrupt a site by flooding it with absurd or paradoxical information. "It satisfies the primal id," he said, chewing on a large, bulbous, phallic black cigar. "To justify themselves by forcing their enemies into hysterics. It's a compensatory mechanism much like getting back at the kids who beat you up in high school by installing Linux and using it to pingflood their XP boxes and Macs."
Slashdot editor CmdrTaco was reticent to comment. At an interview conducted in the crap-filled Ann Arbor bungalow he shares with his wife, to whom he proposed over Slashdot, he said, "Well, you know, Slashdot is just a web site. Michael should calm down about this. But if he doesn't, our corporate sponsors will sue him until he's giving $4 blowjobs on Haight Street."
From the GNAA corporate headquarters, a mysterious floating island off the coast of Newfoundland that few reporters have seen and even fewer have returned from with their sexual identities intact, GNAA "Head Programmer" timecop said he was glad to have Sims on hand. "From what I've seen of his postings on Slashdot," said timecop, "he's a total fag. Which is convenient as all our halfops need anal, and I can't handle the drama. That's what's worst about the net: the drama."
Sims has been involved in previous internet firefights, most notably the controversy over the censorware.org website in 2001. While Sims alleges that the site was his creation that was sabotaged by others, his coworkers disagree. Bennett Haselton, security consultant for the "Anarchy Anal" and "Chaos Cumshot" websites, said of Sims, "We set up this website, and left him the password. We have a disagreement, bam, the website goes down and someone raped my two-week-old Labrador puppy with an iPod."
Slashdot Editor CowboyNeal, who was entangled in a whale net after attempting to swim the English channel, spoke fondly of his former coworker. "Michael always brought a certain passion to the work, a passion that was easily ignited and led to many sweaty sessions in the corporate washroom," he said. "I'm not at all surprised he joined an organization of gay niggers. He always like something different and unique in his pasta salads."
Programmer Seth Finkelstein alleges that Sims is "totally unstable" and agreed readily to this interview. "Of course, I'm a disinterested observer," he said. "But anytime I see that closet psychopath and monkey nut-muncher stealing the spotlight from hardworking programmers like myself, I have to speak up, for the benefit of the people, of course," he said. Technews reporters were permitted to leave the premises only after making a PayPal donation to Finkelstein.
Mike Godwin of the EFF, who balances a career as privacy advocate with his hobby of making videos of teen swingers blowing goats, agreed. "I've never met another editor like Michael," he said. "And, since my regimen of retrovirals is already costing me a
FREMONT, CA (TECHNEWS) - After a heated debate at Slashdot executive offices, editor Michael Sims was locked out of the building and departed in a tirade of lisping insults, vowing revenge immediately.

If skype installer doesnt container spyware today, it will have some tomorrow, take my word for it.
I'd stay away from anything created by this company or associated with them.
LOL @ getting jewed into wasting money for "50M" ADSL and actually thinking it only costs 4k or whatever.
Factor in having to live in one of the shittiest countries in the WORLD, inside a tiny 1x1 apartment with no central heating and a toilet you hover over to take a shit, and you're sure getting a good deal on that ADSL!
And to answer your question, NTT owns every single phone line your pathetic shit connects to, and all those retards leasing lines from them at a loss and reselling shitty overpriced NTT service will be gone sooner than later.
