Sometimes the problem is a good excuse to start hacking away like a lumberjack (and that's ok) until it gets you to work all night and sleep all day.
Seriously, what I'd do is place my MiniDisc recorder with the TV top and use a portable MiniDisc player (or another set top recorder) to hook it up to my PC.
Advantages:
1- It has a remote control, so you can start recording at will at anything you see.
2- It automatically breaks tracks up when there's a slight pause (and on music-only channels like MTV, this is the case)
3- Given a high quality digital sattelite receiver, you can use SPDIF to capture the music digitally from the start. If not, the AD converter of the MDS-JB920 (that I have) is far superior than most soundcards on the market today (remember: your PC is a noisebox)
4- Given a SoundBlaster Live or any other soundcard with SPDIF, I can digitally transfer music from my recorder to my PC and turn it into MP3s, or burn it on a CD.
The usefulness of a language is not determined by the ease of the syntax, but by the speed at which you can make something out of it that you can actually use.
If you don't get Perl, it's probably because your head is full of BASIC trauma.
w3c is definitely a good place to be devising standards, but i was under the impression they're concerns were only with html and the other experimental or rare sgml languages which were starting to become evident in the 'web.

Ok, but don't you know you cannot use elevators when there's a fire? I don't know about you, but I'm not that fast at climbing 40 yards up.
How long can you run a laptop if you hook it to a lead car battery with a voltage converter of some sort? And how does the portability of this setup compare to the solution suggested by this company?
I own such a modem and was alarmed yesterday, by our belgian ADSL user group. My Question:
Is my modem vulnerable when I use PPPoE? The way I see it, my modem is not reachable from the Outside World, because all IP trafic is encapsulated in PPP. Even if one was to root my machine, access to the Modem would be restricted until the PPPoE link goes down, in which case the attacker closes his only way in.
The only way in seems to be IMHO by cracking the DSLAM (concentrator) or by pinching my copper wire from the wall and do some jolly nice tricks with it.
I don't necessarily agree on all parts with this post. Here's why:
- Interbase is, like MySQL, a good database for developers, because it is rock solid and requires little or no maintenance, but you have to have front-end tools to administer the thing. These tools have always been there, but they have always been far from complete and always required the DBA to know something about the system tables or the exact query syntax to get a few things done. User management is such an example.
- Interbase is more targeted at the 'embedded database' market and always has been. And I don't mean the 'embedded device' market but the situations where (semi-) shrink wrapped applications come shipped with it and hide most details from it for the user. On this count, it's even cheaper than MySQL.
So maybe Interbase is also not the right thing for this job. My two cents? Stick with Access and develop it for the MDE which is 100% SQL Server 7 compliant. You can always move on later.
As I see it, they will charge nothing to use the basic client, but they charge for the 'pro' client which will have additional features. Still, if this is a 'shared' service where all the clients participate by serving to others as well, does it then seem fair that they receive money for it?
I don't really see the point in trying to port a server OS (Linux, BSD, whatever) to a PDA. Everyone who has taken a small look at how to write applications for the PalmOS knows that the intrinsics of this OS is totally different. Instead, why not build an open source OS for these devices specifically designed for them using GNU tools for example so that these things can live up to their name: be a digital assistant.
The minister of justice has explained on the news yesterday that these little kids are not going to be prosecuted over this. They merely want to grab those who are offering those files for download. Prosection of the downloaders has gotten 'a low priority'.
I don't know about you, but I'd pick the Lego Mindstorms over this kit anytime.
Either you program it using the 'blocks' or NQC, or you choose to install LegOS and hack away on it as a real embedded programmer would. Not to mention the 'reusability' and the fact that it has infrared...

You're such a fucking troll.
Of course IRC is meant to share conversation. Of course encryption won't help you be anonymous. The whole point is that sometimes you want to have private conversations and people with packet sniffers on the servers can just listen in and eat their carrots.

Sounds like a job for distributed computing like SETI or that key cracking programme.

Mind you that most MP3s are not free, just stolen.
FYI, XML has nothing much to do with cross-platform, cross-browser compatibility.

Well, XML is also a rare SGML language.
You think that if you let your IBM hardware choose its own software, it would choose for Free software?
Think again.

If a Linux distro company was to fall down and nobody would be around to hear it, would it make a sound?

Let's hope they don't blow a hole in the Bozon layer ...

That's because it's still in Alpha. Once it's in Beta, you'll be able to actually download something..
..and once we get to the third or fourth patch, you'll see things will start to get working.
huraY!

Or should I wait for www.opentraceloop.org?

...Maybe everyone is just afraid Microsoft will succeeded in what Sun has promised us for years with Java?
...Maybe developers will not develop products for .Net if they don't buy it? (no pun intended)
Just place an order with Weyland-Yutani to place a couple of Atmosphere Processors. Those things scrape the atmosphere in a couple of years.
