I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure mythtv (and any other tv viewing/capturing tool out there) can support ANY video input the kernel can provide. the older bt cards work because the v4l system works.
I have had many frustrations with the v4l project and related tools (lack of documentation!), but finally got it to work with my card. yey!:)
This may be the wrong place to ask, but I swear... in my mind, it is on topic! (the poster mentions exporting recordings as a feature of mythtv, i'm just asking how).
I set up mythtv lastnight. works great... except a few problems (complete system lock up when recording after about 1min)
The one thing (asside from the crash) that I can't seem to get to work, is exporting the.nuv files to divx or mpeg. I am aware of the nuv2divx tool, and have been trying to compile it... but it just won't work.
Has anyone actually successfully converted their.nuv files to something viewable on windows?
Yes, mplayer can play nuv files, but I want to have a closet media server, and view recordings remotely, which means windows. and no, I'm not installing mplayer everywhere... I want a *standard format*.
Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect was definitelly the most enjoyable thing I can remember reading in a long long time.
It's a short novel about the world post singularity (even where AI in some form takes over the world).
It's pretty heavy in violence at times, but its a good story.
There was a review for it on slashdot a few months ago, but unfortunatelly the author didn't know how to write a review and I doubt many people read it.
Or it could be that 20 years ago no one forsaw the Internet coming to be as it is, and at the time I doubt China had even 1% of the number of computers we had then.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I only read comments ranged 4-5, and MAYBE 3 if it's a slow day. the rest of those comments go ignored, and bloating the/. database.
if only people would check to see if someone had already posted the same thing, stay on topic, not flame, and once again ask 'does anyone want to read this'?
I my self am breaking a few of those rules right now. I know this same comment has already been posted, and I know most of you don't care about it, AND... my bet is it doesn't break 3.
The JPEG image is ~415kb, and the site (and mirrors) are getting hit pretty hard already.
Since the image is like 99.99999% pure black, wouldn't it have made more sense to use GIF or something? When i saved the image as a GIF it took up 8kb.
Yeah yeah, I know... gif is copyrighted, but you get my point.
I haven't. Being a full time student + working 20 hrs/week keeps me plenty busy.
Once the 1st movie came out I thought about reading the books, but decided I'd rather enjoy them in movie form first, and then fill in the gaps with the books.
I hate knowing the ending to a movie, and so will not read the books until after I see the 3rd movie.
This is a solution that might make everyone happy (well, its pretty damn hard to please the RIAA without giving up your house, cars, and life savings... but ya know)..
Since there's no regulating body, how about the lyrics sites just put up a message saying "if you are the intellectual property owner of these lyrics, click here if you would like these removed from public access" Sort of like how whenever you sign up for an account on a webpage the default 'YES i want email from you jerks!" is checked.
Rather than ask permission to put the lyrics UP, make it request-based for taking them DOWN.
Also, I must point out like everyone else that knowing lyrics ENHANCES the musical experience, and I can only see it supporting sales.
And finally, support the EFF and other organizations, so we all might have a chance in our voices being heard against these idiots.
As a nother person mentioned, this fine fellow's webpage has a form to submit a message to his cell phone. However, you must be logged in to his webpage to use the form. Luckily, it also has a link at the bttom to an email:
It does seem to make sense that wya, but what if you got a virus that forces your computer to act as part of a node in an attack network. your computer actively intrudes... but you may not even know what's going on.
Are you liable for allowing a virus on your computer? Is your Anti-Virus make liable for allowing your computer to have a virus, even though you have their protection software installed? Is the virus writer (if you can find him/her) liable since they wrote it? What if that virus was just an academic experiment that got out of control, with innocent intentions?
While I am a big fan of divx as well, the point of this question is *LONG TERM* storage. In 20 years, will you be able to download a Divx codec? Will you even have a computer that will run such ancient software?
I remember buying a 4mb RAM upgrade for my 486 so I could run Doom. I also had to learn how to make a boot disk in dos, and cut down memory usage, just to play. Playing it that first night in the dark, was a blast... and quite scary. plus, it got me interested in how the computer works, upgrades, etc.
Another all time great for me was Total Annihilation. There was something about it - the music I think, that made me really feel for my fleet of units as I sent them off to instant deaths.
I am an avid/. reader, and a privacy/YRO advocate, and it saddens me when I realize that 90% of the people I know haven't even HEARD of the DMCA or the Patriot Act or the EFF, or any of it.
It seems to me, that the EFF could be likened to organizations like GreenPeace. Everyone who has ever been on a college campus knows what Green Peace is, but incase you don't they are a group of volunteers that solicit people for supporting their cause - that cause being supporting the environment through legal actions (lobbying, etc).
Why don't we have people on campus letting people know about their freedoms, about the lies spread by the RIAA/MPAA, and about *what can be done to help* ?
Sounds like what the TV shows "Sliders" (on Sci-Fi) was based off of.
Of course, since everything as an infinite number of possible outcomes, we can pretend all these branching universes live on a tree, with current time being the leaf nodes... and flatten that to the 4th (or 5th, if you prefer to use time as 4th) dimension.
Contrary to the movie The One, there would not be a discrete number of universes, but it would be a continuous system. (How many universes are there for me going to school today? How many numbers are there from 1.0 to 2.0?)
I used to bitch and moan everytime I heard a cell phone go off or saw someone talking on one. In december, I eventually broke down and bought AT&T's Free2Go prepaid service. I keep the phone on me as an address book, and for emergencies, and I receive free SMS, so I'm always easy to contact.
Now when I hear or see a cell phone, for some reason that hateful loathing is mostly gone.
Here's why I thin this is... Most of us/.'ers, or CS people in general, feel good about being Different. I became a CS major partly because it made me feel smarter than everyone else (I know, wrong reason). When we see the popular kids/suits/watever walkin around on their nice phones, we get a high out of being Different for not doing the same. I say, get over it. I've made a big effort this last year to accept being normal, you can too!
I misread the topic and thought it was Sue Johanson, of Talk Sex With Sue... a cool TV show on late nite Oxygen (yes, it is for women, but it's worth it for this show guys!).
People call up and ask sex questions, and Sue answers. It's great cuz she's like 65 and talks just like one of the guys. About halfway through the show she brings out the night's sex toy and gives a review for it.
So the 40 year old pedophile (pretending to be 14... this tech. wouldn't prevent that) can see where the 13 year old girl he's talking to lives... yay
On the other hand, the cops should easily be able to find where he was talking *from*, but if he was semi-intelligent where he takes her and where he was talking from would be different.
Slashdot Mirror
1984 wasn't about tracking where people drive, it was about mind control/controlling the public.
Now, Minority Report... that sounds more familiar (automatic retina scans on every door, add, elevator, car, etc).
then stop reading. The quality of slashdot relates exactly to the quality of stories readers post, and the quality of comments readers write.
AC slashdot posting does *not* increase the quality.

I did read The Hobbit though..
I sincerely hope that no one actually believes the earth is hollow. The theory is flawed in so many ways, I don't know where to begin.
It's like claiming that cows are more buoyant than air, and they're only held down by the force of the sun's rays bombarding them.

Most of us
snes9x works great, and there are many ports of it despite the name.
It appears right now the downloads page is unavailable though, but maybe some googling would locate it.
www.vimm.net also used to have a *LOT* of SNES and NES roms, but took the SNES down due to bandwidth limitations.
I misread the topic and thought it was Sue Johanson, of Talk Sex With Sue... a cool TV show on late nite Oxygen (yes, it is for women, but it's worth it for this show guys!).
People call up and ask sex questions, and Sue answers. It's great cuz she's like 65 and talks just like one of the guys. About halfway through the show she brings out the night's sex toy and gives a review for it.
I was wondering what she'd been pirating.
