First of all, the difference in degrees across the two wings will create turbulence. Now the onboard computers is going to try to compensate for that. The Angle of re-entry into the earth's atmosphere barely has any margin for error. Either your angle is correct or you skip off the atmosphere and have to try again, or you burn up. In this case the extreme heat and turbulence broke the shuttle to pieces.
I guess this product is for non technical people. I can build one cheaper: 1 Wall Mart Linux PC $199.00 Video Phone Software Free on Net (Linux based) WinTV Card $59.00 MiniCamera $60.00 Monitor $99.00 Linux Telphony gateway Software That's it! $1,200.00 bucks.. gee this product is overpriced
I'd say become a freelance consultant. I worked for myself for a while. I spent a lot of time with my youngest boy. I worked out of the house and was Mr. Mom for a while. It was cool, you can't replace the time I had off with anything. I didn't have any worries then, no house, I rented from my in-laws. Now I've got a mortgate and an equity loan and bills bills bills. I've got to work. I hope to be able to design a widget on my own time that would allow me to retire early.. other than that my house will be paid off when I'm 65, Maybe earlier if I sneak in an extra payment per year.
What's all this whining about fulfilment anyway. I work because I have a family and obligations. I use my family to benchmark my life, not my job.
THE basically misses having the power of a mob boss. Musicians won't need thier services anymore. The Record Labels won't have the power to make or break an artist. This is what they fear. They fear the future. I for one would like to see a future where artists can promote themselves. I believe if we stop the DMCA and the RIAA, and all the other related laws that threaten to propel us into the digital dark ages, we will see a future where we will not need the RIAA, where we would no longer need the MPAA. Musicians can upload samples of thier work to public servers and we could buy track of what we like. Clips from movies can be viewed and if we like the movie we can buy the DVD online and burn our copy. I think Hollywood , Disney and the like knows what is comming, they are scared and what to propel us into the Dark Ages.
I say we should start an Entertainment Underground. Promote Artists that are great and don't have a label, and educate the public that Disney is evil.
Now I am scared. If Bush believes that a former Microsoft Security chief can handle our nations cybersecurity, Then our President is ill informed. Look at Microsoft's history. I believe the xbox is Microsoft's way of testing Palladium, and xbox has all ready been hacked.
Gee.. I work gor TRW Noertheast.. No pension there. I've got a 401k though... in the toilet. I adjusted the 401k so mostly everything is getting deposited in the bond market. It's safer, it's not loosing money, but it's not the 15% of the 90s. I just might consult on my own when I reah my 50s. Or... Maybe invent a cool gadget that everyone wants to buy and make some money that way. It seems that the US goverenment wants to raise the retirmenet age.. I say hell no, I want to retire at 52. I've seen too many people keel over and die at 67. My father in law died from Parkinson's disease at 69 years old. He was too sick to do the things he liked to do by 68. So, we are all better off to retire when we want. My house won't be paid for until I am 65, so I may refinance the house so that it's paid off at (yikes).
Someone has got to kick the health insurance industry in the ass. They are responsible for a major portion of the poor economy. I've got health insurance but I fight back, my wife and kids gowhen they need to go but I don't. I only go if it's an emergency. And all the pperscription drugs people are on, forget about it. My blood is fine.. so I have asthma.. big deal, I don't need to stay on medications that is going to make a company rich and possibly my body sick later. If breating gets tough I take an extra shower. The mist seems to help big time.
This is one of the first apps I loaded on my Zaurus. Guttenburg rocks! I have to disagree with this post. There's are many great works available for download. Moby Dick was taken down.. I don't know why. But other than that, It's defenitely worth a compile and try! Reference books are available too!
Here's the real story. I've got a Compaq Presario 7110US running Linux. Complete with WinTV Theatre, firewire, DVD Burner, etc. I've got vcr compiled and installed, the latest avilib support, transcode, and mpeg2enc. Here's what I do. I use vcr to program the time and channel of the show I want to record. I can then choose any encoding format. For tv shows I use mpeg4 (DIVX). The show is saved on my server in the basement. I can play the movie on my Sharp Zaurus 5500-SL , developement computer (Presario 7110US) or my linux gaming computer connected to my TV. Also I create videos with a Samsung SDC-80 camcorder (firewire mini dv) and Kino (Run on Linux). I then save to mpeg2 and encode 9kbit video to dvd and play it on my DVD player. This is TOO simple.
Why did Slashdot give this idiot bandwidth to begin with.
Your the coward postang anonymously! I say boycott any TCPA or DRM product! We don't need TCPA or DRM. And in a market driven economy if we don't buy it they won't make it! enought said TROLL!
I work as a Unix Consultant for several State Agencies. I am responsable for AIX, HPUX, Linux and SCO servers. I always try to migrate the agencies on SCO to Linux. The truth is most tools that the state uses are already ported to Linux. Oracle (most of the Oracle servers are HP 9000 series boxes like the L and N series) Anyway It's time to fight fire with fire. I encourage all of you to educate your coworkers and DUMP SCO, Unixware, and anything to do with Caldera now!
Just another product to boycot. TCPA + DRM = crippleware
I prefer my Zaurus anyway. I can surf the net via 802.11, I've got a big ass 256MB MMC card. And some some apps I serve off my LinuxPPC (Apple 9600) Server. I built my own amplified stereo speakers. No TCPA or DRM technology embedded in it. And it's plenty fast enough to stream mpeg2 and mpeg4 video off my server!
If IBM removes the DRM technology maybe they'll get some market share. But anything with TCPA and DRM technology is just crippleware in my eyes. This would probably start a home brew revolution.
We should stick together any never but any hardware that supports DRM.
Has anyone ever thought that the RIAA should be charged for this action? Because this action not only disrupts Pier to Pier, it also produces excess traffic on the networks the servers are on and can be classified as a deniel of service attack.
Ok, so I was a contest semifinalist. The linux4tv contest was doomed from day one since the board did not feature an OPEN design. I am still waaiting for the schematics. The I2c lines were not brought out the the PCI slots. So you can't use any off the shelf tv cards. I figured.. no big deal I will cut etches on the board and run my own lines to the appropriate pins on the bus.. I still don't have the schematics so I can not make the change. The substituted a cheam EM8700 chip. No Divx support, no mpeg3, just mpeg1 and mpeg2. No 3d support and a 3rd party 3D graphics card won't work with thier half baked PCI support. the PCI support is very limited, if the card needs i2c, it won't work, and you can only have a card in slot2, a pci card in slot 1 or slot 3 will stop the board from booting.
So I'd stay away from anything national semiconductor tries to sell, and stay away from Sigma Designs. because Sigma Designs CRAP!! They have no clue on how to design hardware. having the network interface interrupt and the MPEG decode chip connected to the same interrupt line, SHAME ON THEM! AND no schematic. If I had a schematic I could have at least modified my board.
This board is fodda for my tesla coil. That's about it. It's not worth the $60.00 I paid for a dvd rom drive for it, or the $20.00 I shelled out for the ATX case. It's crap, and the companies behind it, Sigma Designs and national semiconductor are crap! They have no clue and are going to kill the linux4tv project before DRM takes over.
So I wouldn't wast your money. check out www.linux4tv.com and check out the CRAPPY SUPPORT, the Long wait for responses from their staff that has no clue.
You can't kill a remote process on a host you do not have access to. What is this guy a newbie?
Ahhh but you can, block by ip address / port number. You can filter this out. You can kill processes on your own host that are connected to a remote socket.
Well It's time to gather parts to build your new box now. I'm gathering spare parts. I do not wish to own the new planned DRM hardware.. ever. This sounds like an "Orwelian" future. Multimedia is about 15% of what I use my computer for. And because of that the future of the PC will be nutured?
If SCO persues this they also made use of GPLed software. We as a whole can go after them. If they pursue this avenue it will put a nail in their coffin.
I want to build one! Where's the code! This is awesome! I can't mix drinks to save my life! Ahh, I can picture this in my cellar, along with a small bar!
before the days of popup ads I used to buy products from x10.com. I have my Linux embedded control run the xmas lights. Well I haven't bought any more products from x10.com since they started with the popup ads. I found an alternate source for the products now. I'm building up a smart x10 watering system that does not water the grass if it is raining outside.
Anyway I switched browsers too. I now use galeon to block pop ups.

Id say 20 years for Open Source... not 5.
The PLot didn't interest me, so I didn't go.
I figured I'd wait for the DVD

So I don't think Itanium has a snowball chance in

Hopefully this will fail.
The market drives the economy.
If all DRM hardware don't sell then the technology
will be abandoned.
I believe that a true open design for open hardware
will result out of this. And we will be running
Linux or FreeBSD.
Apple I believe is fighting to stay out of this.
Who knows, maybe Apple will get a surge of new business.
I do not want a nutered computer.

When no one buys computers with palladium and no money is made then things will go back to how they were.
I'm sure we will have sources for Mother boards from
Asia that do not use this.
Intel and AMI will only hurt thier own business.
I will never buy a box with this.
