    This limited warranty does not cover:

    * Non-Dell branded and Solution Provider Direct products and accessories
    * Problems that result from:
    External causes such as accident, abuse, misuse, or problems with electrical power

    Since neither the USB dongle or the pci card would be supplied by dell your warranty would be not different after opening up the case.

  3. Re:I used an ATI USB based tuner... on USB TV Tuner Recommendations and Experiences? · · Score: 1

    First:

    avoid ALL USB solutions that are not usb 2.0, usb 1.1 simply has not enough bandwidth to do captures (think webcam quality).

    Ati has announced a usb 2.0 product in april 2004, and i would be supprised if the parent of this post had a usb2.0 solution or the old "usb" solution.

  5. Re:What incentive? on Google's Fraud Squad Battles Phantom Clicks · · Score: 1

    What incentive does Google have to seriously reduce this type of fraud?

    Wrong question:
    They have to pretend the try to reduce this fraud. publishing about this is a good thing. They do not really have to reduce this fraud because they take a percentage of each click-trough. Only the real obvious false clicks have to be filtered. (user_agent=clickmachine)

    They never published how you would be paid for adsense, or when you reach the paiment theshhold. You can contact them if you run a BIG site is all they say. They can easily deduct a percentage from the clicks made as "False clicks". As a webmaster you have no way to check this since they do not reveal HOW they detected these false clicks.

  6. these reviewers are "bought" on ATi HDTV Tuner For The PC Arrives · · Score: 1

    from the review: we encountered a series of various errors and crashes or the software simply hung. This is part user error and part poor interface design, but once you learn the proper steps, the software worked as promised. We think ATI is truly going in the right direction with this, letting users record HDTV shows and back them up on DVD in a few clicks, but the process could be made easier.

    If tom said: "MMC stinks and is full of bugs" then he would not get more hardware to review. multi media center keeps getting new features, but only a few of bugs are solved. Ati makes this software availble as upgrades, but the bugs are left there.

  15. Freenet is not good for mp3's or movies on Freenet Project More Stable, In Need · · Score: 1

    But I am worried about the one really unlucky Joe Sixpacks who get chosen as the first few test cases in the West. Some poor slob who think Freenet's just another way to "freely" swap MP3s with reduced risks of getting a nastygram from RIAA, but who wakes up to black-masked agents screaming "FEDERAL AGENT! WE KNOW YOU'RE HOSTING ILLEGAL PR0N! DON'T MOVE, YOU PERVERTED FREAK!"

    First of all: You can always be sued by someone. The point is however that the charge will not stick(under western laws) if you are running a freenet node.(and if you do not store the download files on your HD to view them offline). Maybe you can sue back for damages, but this will not be fun.

    Second: Freenet / Gnunet /entropy /pick your own anonymizer will never be good for downloading big files. This is because for a good anonimyzing network without a central server there will be always a multiple of network traffic required. There are networks-protocols that are better suited for this. (typical: if data travels a average of 6 hops, you will have to transfer 13 MB of data to download 1 MB)

  16. sco? on XFree86 4.4: List of Rejecting Distributors Grows · · Score: 1

    It does not seem important, but it is to al lot of people on /. (and if you do not like it do not read these subjects, i excluded all patent subjects for that reason)

    There are 2 mayor reasons:
    -If you are a programmer you contribute to a project you do not want to run anyone with your source, or you might want that, that is very important to things you spend many hours on.
    -If you are a user you do not later want to find out you have to pay someone for a licence (SCO) because it was not free software to begin with.

    There are more roles to be thought of, and for all of these the definition of "free" is important.

    Get one with a low LUX number
    Most sony's have a lux rating of "0" lux night vision
    ***cough***Sony***cough*** but have a really crappy LUX rating,
    hmm. You are contradicting yourself. Lux rating is not reliable and not properly documented. Most mayor camcorders have some kind of tick to be able to film in very lowlight condisitions, and publish the lux rating of that condidion.
    (nightvision/ slow shutters ->bad colors/bad movement etc etc)

    In other words: don't trust the ratings of the supplier.

    by the way: the build in light of the JVC camara's is not that great either.

    In other words: if it is too dark to film turn on a light. 8-) In dark situation's indoors there is often the situation that there is back lighting from a windows, and the camara has a very hard time compensating for that.
