Does your sig have any relation to the play with the line 'ceci n'est pas un trou' put on by the electric theatre company at least once? I thoroughly enjoyed it. The Project. Dun Dun Dun....:)
It's an excellent tool for manipulating video files. It has the ability to do batch conversions, and for some tasks, is faster then Ulead MediaStudio Pro or Adobe Premiere. While the amount of things you can do with it is limited, if it does what you need, it's a great tool to do it with. Plus it's not squimish about using any codecs you have on your system.
I'm staying logged into giFT at the moment to share this file (its the only one I'm sharing, actually), and I think it has spread to a few other users. See http://gift.sf.net/. I'm sharing the MP3, don't have the flash right now..
On a related note, there is not a single sushi place with a computerized billing/ordering system in the Vancouver area that is not running linux. It seems that one vendor had a multi-lingual program which is well suited to sushi places, because they all seem to use the same program. As well, there is a screensaver with tux and the name of some consulting company which seems to set them up.
You have 3 channels with 802.11b, and you can pretend you have 4 if you have a little bit of overlap. Arrange things in a honeycomb. Also investigate the nocatauth portal. A small bit of googling will turn our lots of resources, you don't need to code this all yourself - lots of people are doing it.
True. It's not clear though if they have specific timing information, and for all the lights. There is a difference between automated semi-sensible syncronized lights, and the results of spending a million dollars figuring out the best way by hand.
That they have backups of the data that was on those PCs... IIRC, Vancouver (Canada) spent 1 million to syncronize the timing of all the traffic lights...
Lots of people think this frequently. But you have to realize that this actually helps Microsoft. 1) A negligable amount of people will do this 2) You add to the marketshare count, needed to get titles and 3) You give them greater economies of scale -- thats the biggie. Its actually beneficial to them:).
I heard *lots* of good things about Sprint's ION service (which has been shut down). Unfortunately, their timing launching it was off. This sounds similar, though not quite as cool. Interesting.
People can already access google through an API (perl modules exist already for instance) by making an API that parses the html. There is thus no reason for them to *not* make things available. It costs less to transmit the results without formatting information, its useful to people,.... Don't forget, google is pretty focused on usability; something which is one of the main things which has made them so popular IMO.
Unfortunately, codecs these days aren't as good as that. They throw away different data. Try running DV through the codec at the exact same settings a few times to see what I mean. (believe it or not, DV is lossy, at a compression of about 5:1).
Does your company have a proxy of some sort which keeps logs? Is it recent enough that his old computer would still have it in its history and or cache?
This is probably to try and prevent intercepting a movie on its way to the theatres. As to whether it is possible to do this effectively is another question altogether...
Oops. clicked submit too early. The other thing to note is that it's a true shame that multicast is not propely supported on the net. This would make so many things more viable to distribute via the internet - radio, software, cd images,...
There is another huge problem with internet radio you have overlooked. With broadcast (note the term) radio, it will cost you the same to broadcast it if 100 people or 100000 people tune in. Internet radio stations already have a cost per listener in terms of bandwidth. Bandwidth isn't cheap.
1) It is *not* for OSS release. It is simply for private inspection to show that it can be removed. 2) This is *not* a big deal with accusations of OSS projects stealing code - the code is *already* available to big licensees and has been for a while. A long while. It is true that the number of people it is available to was increased recentlyish, it still has been out there for ages now.

Under Canadian copyright law, he'd be fine AFAIK. Don't assume everyone lives where you do :).

I hope you enjoy windows XP as well!
I wonder, those 10 subscribers they are suing, who didn't respond to calls. Are they dead? Never existed? Cats? see http://www.geocities.com/flutocracy/cablemodem.htm

buahahaha. Are you serious about the cashdrawer security method? I've never heard of that... its quite funny.

Will the next computer snake oilish product be 'cd glue' to prevent you cds from falling apart, citing this paper? :)

Interesting point. Another interesting thing is that it was recently after their aquisition that it was switched over, from FreeBSD...
as for your sig, I had a box once where I had renamed that "Bill's Computer". :)

4. The Morlocks where freakin scary looking, I almost jumped out of my seat when the first one jumped in front of the screen.
I don't blame you!
