is a Xirlink. I wasn't sure which camera I could use either a few weeks ago, so I figured I should just look in the kernel to see what was supported. I enabled V4L support in the kernel, and then looked around in the USB section and found the Xirlink driver (among others). I got the xirlink cuz it was 9.99;) Even with 7 bucks shipping it still came out cheaper than any of the other cameras I could find. Works great too, though I've only really used it with gnomemeeting.
I want sound files! For this story, I think hearing is believing.
Re:DB_File with Berkeley DB 4.1.25 fixed

Perl 5.8.1 Released

Actually, the guys at linuxfromscratch had a patch available that fixed that problem a while ago... not that it matters now of course...but heres a link to the db 4.1.25 instructions which points out that you will have to patch perl if you plan to compile it with db 4 support...
I'm not an admin but I still need samba in order to get work done at the office... I have been using it to send people files from my laptop, and just yesterday I figured out how to get printing to work with samba+cups+foomatic+hpijs(finally). Thanks to the samba team I can have the only linux box (my laptop) in the office (or quite possibly entire company) and still get things done, without having to reboot or use the slow computer that's under my desk...
I just compiled and installed samba-3.0.0 over the existing install and everything still works great too...
I noticed in an earlier article that the EFF was working with a few of the people that the RIAA was suing. CNN doesn't mention anything about the EFF working with Sharman Networks Ltd. Now IANAL, more of a law & order watcher;) But wouldn't it make sense for the EFF to work with a company that, even though might not be doing so well, still has more resources with which to fight?
Or maybe the EFF doesn't see merit to the case?
So looking forward to this...

I've loved every Stephenson book I've read, and I've read all of them except zodiac and the um... the one with the U;) I forget the exact title and I'm lazy... but in any event... I have had this book on pre-order since July and I'm hoping that next-day delivery really means next-day...
Since a lot of people commented about Cryptonomicon... I wonder, did anyone else try to find Qwghlm on a map, or was that just me? haha I swear I thought maybe it was an island in the UK that I never heard of LOL
We have NT driven Metrocard vending machines in the subway. They seem to work ok actually... Even amidst all the worms and such. I know they are networked somehow too, as it would be impossible to keep track of the machines otherwise.
I noticed that the CoinStar coin-counting machines also run some form of NT. Back when I worked in a supermarket I found out that the coinstar would actually dialup with a modem from time to time, perhaps to give updates or state of repair.
I just hope whoever maintains the ATM's knows what they are doing... I really need my money... and I'm not sure if the FDIC will help me if the ATM starts giving it away..
I think the context of a person's actions is just as important as the action. Cameras can not take into account the entire context for what happens in front of them. Maybe this guy had a bad case of jock itch? I mean it sounds silly, but it's not impossible. Where is the line drawn?
Pretty funny how this morning I had a dream about RPG's... actually I woke up wanting to be a dark elf in evercrack (which oddly enough I stopped playing on 9/11/01 when my DSL connection was lost in the rubble of the verizon building in downtown manhattan)... But anyway... I am downloading the demo now, in hopes that I can finally play an RPG that isnt "massively multiplayer online". I really just miss being able to save a game and continue it later... without the game changing while I'm gone...
I suppose I just have had bad luck then. Seems whenever I find something on freshmeat that requires qt, it also requires kde. I knew someone on slashdot would be able to clear that up for me;)
Is more apps that require QT but not all of kde to run. That's why I use gtk apps... because most of them dont require gnome. There are gnome apps of course, and there are progs like Gaim that will give you a little somethin' extra if you have gnome installed, but you don't need it... Are there any qt apps that dont require kde to be installed?
just install whatever shell they wanted to use anyway? Im sure anyone that has shell scripting in mind also knows how to install their own shell the correctly right?
It amazes me that there are people in this world smart enough to splice genes and such, but instead of like...finding a cure for cancer or something, they are making bunny people? Because they can? Could someone give me some insight as to why in the world we need rabbit-human hybrids?
The driver you found is the one I'm using now. I havent had any problems with it to date. I'm still playing around with the test3 kernel, which supports the extigy without an external driver. So far I can tell you that it plays ok, from xmms and from gxmame. I haven't tried recording with it yet though. The guy on that who wrote that 2.4.21 driver mentions that he's not sure if the extigy works with alsa, but since alsa is what the 2.6 kernel uses, I am guessing that it does.
I use the extigy and I must say it's great. I needed something for my laptop so that I could record live mixes from my dj equipment, since my laptop only had a mic input (really horrible for recording from a device). I decided on the extigy because I found a linux driver for it (you need a separate driver for 2.4.21, and so far it works with 2.6.0 test3, at least for playback).
So far I can tell you it records great. It records at 48000Hz (which means you have to convert wavs down to 44100 before you can burn em, but it's easy with sox). I haven't tried the 5.1 capabilities yet since I don't have money for a 5.1 speaker set;) I also haven't had a chance to test the midi capabilities with it yet, but my dmesg does say the usbmidi drivers are working.
I think the coolest thing about it so far, aside from the fact that it just works well, is that if you know what you're doing, you can write programs to make the remote control do whatever you want. The linux-2.4.21 drivers I found came with an xmms wrapper example that works pretty well. You can use the volume controls, stop, pause, play, etc. and switch songs... I spent the first week I had it just watchin my xmms volume knobs move when I pressed the vol+ button haha.
The extigy is also super light if you want to carry it with you. I think the adapter might weigh more than the device itself. I'm not sure how the extigy works any other OS, but I guess it would perform well if you had the right software.
I went to the after step site hoping to find some reasons that I might want to switch, but their site is very minimal. Is that stylistic or something? Or are they just not eager to convert people? I use fluxbox now, and have tried window maker, enlightenment, sawfish and metacity (GNOME isn't a window manager?)... Each window manager has its good points I guess. I dunno I'm just a little disappointed. I was hoping to at least find a little something along the lines of "heres why you should use this instead of __" any advocates here? so far afterstep doesnt look to popular;)
If only it worked with Gnome 2? I mean honestly, even after installing Gnome 1.4 in hopes of being able to use GNUCash, I got it to run only to notice that there was no text, anywhere. None. Maybe thats a problem that only I'm lucky enough to have, but I'm sure if it didnt take so much to use it, more people would. It seems silly to have to install an entire (or at least most of) an old version of a "complete desktop environment" just to run one app.
Im glad you said brought that up, because I was just about to ask how the hell they planned to find everyone that owned a tivo. But on a serious note, can SCO really afford to all this legal work at the same time? Im no genius but it's gotta be pretty damn expensive to fight legal battles with IBM, redhat, the government, and everyone else on the planet all at once...
Well I must say that I can get all of my work done using linux on my laptop, even in the office thanks to samba. However for fun I like to play around with music software, specifically this program called Fruity Loops (actually its FL Studio now). I like to think of it as a RAD tool for music... It's so easy to throw a song together, and its mostly drag and drop (kind of like making a quick GUI). There are a couple of sequencers and samplers out there for linux but nothing quite compares to FL Studio for me.
But are less violent than males overall... Would that make it harder for those who try to prove that video games cause violence? Or would they just change the debate to "video games cause violent behavior in MALES" ?
I have to say that I am lucky enough (or is it not lucky enough?) to not have to worry about using linux for business purposes. Therefore, though all of this licensing business is somewhat concerning, I can still use my favorite OS regardless of what the big companies say...
