That, and it looks for patterns of those blank spots at 30 & 60 second intervals. Also it looks for the logo that almost all networks put on screen during the show (this logo isn't present during commercials).
My favorite feature is you can hit "e" while watching a recording to bring up the cut-list editor, then hit "z" to auto-insert cuts computed from the commercial flagger. Then you can inspect those sections to verify that it didn't accidentally flag part of the show as a commercial (I don't have as much of an issue with the current version as I had before with false flagging).
Once that is done, you can burn the show to a dvd-rw, and play it on any tv that you have a dvd player hooked up to -- no need for a myth frontend box.
Switch carriers. For example, T-Mobile's most expensive data plan is around $20 a month, and tethering works on most of their phones. For an even cheaper route, go with what used to be their $5.99 plan which is proxied http access only (you set your web browser to use T-Mobile's proxy).
I was about to post the same thing. Even as a kid I didn't get into comics, because I had to constantly switch my mind from processing words to processing the action. I'd get fatigued from that many context switches in one reading session. This is also the reason I absolutely _hate_ subtitles in movies. I guess my mind is just wired differently.
I've been thinking about this. What I've got planned so far: Beagle board -- $150 800x480 - 1024x??? 7" - 10" LCD -- ??? Battery pack with charger -- $20 to $40 Small USB keyboard -- $20 to $80 Trapper Keeper to use as a housing -- $10
I'm not sure where to get an appropriate LCD. I'd like to find one that can use 5 volt and DVI input, otherwise I'd have to run a ribbon cable and bypass the DVI controller on the Beagle Board. They shouldn't cost too much, as I see 800x480 Photo Frames going for $80. I've also seen several "cell phone extenders" that output 5v and have an a/c charger. There's also the rechargeable USB hub from CyberPower. For a keyboard I could either use one that is meant for a data center 19" rack, or get one of the many other mini keyboards that are available. And finally if I house everything in a zippered 8x11 binder then I'd have a built-in carrying case.
Of course for $300 I could get the Touch book without a keyboard, add my own mini keyboard & carry it in the same zippered binder.
Some routers have a mini-pci slot in them for their wireless cards. In those cases you can probably replace it. Check the specs on the supported hardware list on dd-wrt, or the other project pages to find out if a particular model has the mini-pci slot.
Another option would be to use a model that has USB port(s), and throw a USB wifi adapter on it.
But did SCO put the code in there? It's sort of like this. Say your car radio was stolen. Now later on you buy a used car, then sell it. You find out later on that the radio in that car was the same one stolen out of your other car years earlier. Would you get your radio back? If the legal answer is yes, then SCO distributing the code with the GPL wouldn't come into play, otherwise it would (assuming the analogy can be stretched from physical goods to copyright).
I always wondered why many people are constantly in a particular weight range, no matter what, even if that range is about 20 - 30 pounds higher than what it should be. My theory: Say you start putting on extra weight. That is more weight you have to carry around during your normal activities. So you burn more calories during the day, which causes you to drop back down to the upper end of your range. Now if you go on a health kick (not necessarily a crash diet) and drop 30 pounds, then go back to your normal routine. All of a sudden you are burning fewer calories a day than you did prior to losing weight, simply because you aren't carrying that extra 30 pounds with you wherever you go.
So the solution to effective weight loss? Wear a weighted belt around your waist. Every time you drop 5 pounds, add another 5 pound weight to your belt (or add the weight to it first, and you will naturally lose that 5 pounds without trying).
From what I have seen, Ham's are pretty much self policing. The people that you get the most problem from are CB operators who have poorly tuned boosters.
Say you are in New Orleans, and a big storm knocks out your power. You want to get a message to your mom in Chicago that you are OK (so she doesn't worry and have a stroke or something). So your friendly neighborhood Ham will fire up his rig on battery or generator, relay a message to another Ham in Huntsville, who picks up a phone and calls your mom in Chicago. Only problem is if BPL is deployed in Huntsville, that message ain't getting through to the Ham operator there. Or to any other Ham who's area has deployed spectrum polluting technologies.
What year did you get on the net? Originally Yahoo had a list of categories on it's front page. Click on a topic, say "Programming", and you would get a list of additional sub topics. This was all hand-categorized.
If you wanted to find out about Perl, you'd click on "Computers... Programming... Languages... Perl". And you were guaranteed to get a list of tutorial pages on Perl. Whereas if you typed in "Perl Tutorial" on any of the search engines at the time you would spend about a half hour going through results to get a half dozen good pages.
Lately it seems that the big companies are getting affected by patent trolls more than the little guys (they have more money). And the big corps have enough political clout to push through patent reform laws. So if they are getting hammered like this, why aren't they lobbying for patent reform? Are they just not getting hit hard enough?
But what defines off-the-clock "work"? Say you have a project due in 3 weeks, but you need to learn a new system / language / technique for it. Now you can't seem to get to sleep for a couple of nights, so you decide to do a bit of online research. Since that research applies directly to an assigned project, is any learning you do off hours "billable"? What if what you are learning could be considered general knowledge in the field (such as flipping through some Perl of Java documentation to pick up new techniques). At some point you have to draw the line between job-specific learning and your normal knowledge pursuit.
If a film maker wants to show one person as being a dominating character, the camera is lowered so it is looking up into the person's face, vs. filming from a higher position as would be done for a weaker character. That psychological cue is what makes a Segway rider appear more bully-like and smug -- just that extra few inches has a large impact.
I believe that you need to purchase support in order to access the updates. Unless you are fine with updating only when a new point release comes out (approximately 2 - 3 times a year), or updating from src rpms.
I just checked the SL 5.3 branch, and they are up to date with all but the most recent update for bind. The last update in there is just 3 days old.
If you absolutely need to-the-second updates, the only two options you have is either subscribe to RHEL directly, or monitor rhn.redhat.com/errata for security updates, then download the src rpm & compile yourself.
But they can mandate appropriate data protection procedures for anything that you work on for them. Usually they will point to a standardized security policy and say that you have to pass an audit that meets that policy.
Even if you have a better mousetrap, it may not actually be better when all factors are considered. A cheap mousetrap may only catch the mouse 20% of the time. But once the mouse is caught you can throw away the mouse & the trap and not have to worry about digging mouse guts out of the trap. It's cheap enough that you just buy another. Now a better mousetrap that catches them 90% of the time may be much more expensive. Therefore it is not disposable. Do you think the average person wants to dig mouse guts out of a non-disposable trap? I know I would rather just keep resetting the cheap ones until they catch their target.
DVDs are slightly better than CDs. A CD has the physical pits pressed on the top of the disk, then a thin silver backing is placed on top. When that backing gets damaged, goodbye data. A DVD, on the other hand, has the silver reflective part sandwiched in the middle of the disk. Therefore it is more resistant to physical damage.
Why do they have to issue new keys? I'd think that as long as their public key is still known, that all the issued signed keys would still be valid. They'd just have to use a new key pair for any new signed documents.
Someone at work mentioned to me recently that it will be a scary day when someone can program your brain. Well I've already seen it happen. My local Walmart is in sort of a high-risk part of town, so the "greeters" will ask to see your receipt if you have any bulk items in your cart that aren't in bags. So people get used to having their receipt handy when they walk out the door. Now yesterday it was kind of busy, and one greeter to check receipts. Guess what I saw? A line of about 10 people waiting to show their receipt before leaving the store. Meanwhile I push my cart right around them (I've already waited in line for 25 minutes just to pay, I'm not going to wait again to leave the store). It appears that those in line were robots that have been programmed (conditioned) so much that they couldn't think of leaving without waiting to show their receipt. Keep in mind that there is not sign saying you have to show your receipt.

Just for grins, I took a look at http://www.foxnews.com/robots.txt, and guess what? It specifically allows google.

You mean like the Softstrips?
BSD, as it exists today, is more like the Ship of Theseus. Parts were improved and replaced until almost no part of the original remained.

Two things. Diesel and a generator.
