I used to use VirtualDub when I was on Windows, and it was rally nice. Did everything from recording, to cutting out commercials, to encoding into a variety of formats.
Wondering if there's any similar program on the *nix side?
I do know of Video::DVDRip and drip for ripping DVDs, but spefically looking for cable. (to use w/ my WinTV card)
It's legitimate use is that it allows playign games from Japan.
FYI, the PS and PS2 also have region encoding similar to DVDs. Japanese games can't be played on American consoles, and (I believe) vice-versa. The mod chip prevents the system from recognizing that its not a legitimate disc (by replying to all queries as 'yes, this is legal')
Just as DeCSS is primarily used for watching other-regon dvds, but has a side effect of getting unencrypted content, the mod chip allows playing other-region games, and has a side effect of allowing games on CDR also.
Chances are that's why he got arrested. In the US, he could probably (also?) be arrested under the DMCA.
If I buy a car that's not a convertible, but I want to turn it into a convertible, that's fine.
The manufacturer doesn't have to help me, they don't have to give me any details, but I -am allowed- to take a saw, forcefully remove the car top, and hack a soft top in there.
(Note: I haven't read the article because it's \.'ed, so I might be completely off-base, but I don't think so.)
OTOH, the way things are going now, with the DMCA and all, it is going to be legally prohibitedfor me to make modifications on items that I OWN, which is not right under any circumstances; and that's not the kind of future I want.
I can find out more info on those if anyone wants...
The following would be truly appreciated:
1. What operating system does it run?
2. What kind of a HD and partition does it use? (Standard or propietary)
3. What other "special" devices are in it?
4. What specifically is propietary and what is standard parts?
5. What DRM management software is in it?
6. Is it automagically updatable?
7. What user usage data does it record?
and any other pertinent info too would be useful, I'm sure.
Actually, if you could just sneak out the information details, and scan them in, or get a monkey to type in, and submit a story to \., that would be truly appreciated.
Of course, I am in no way, shape, or form, encouraging a company IP theft. [Enter further appropriate disclaimer here.]
I'm not sure that many would be willing to do that. I'm not a musician, but I am a writer/poet, and also a programmer.
While I have no problem whatsoever GPL'ing my software (even a BSD-type license would be sufficient in most cases), I would never GPL my stories or poems. The reason: there's a lot more intrinsic value in my writings, and itmeans a lot more to me emotionally, whereas software is purely intellectual nad hard work.
I believe that most musicians would feel the same way, as their best works are often written out of heart and feeling, and I don't think they'd be too keen on someone else taking it (or parts of it) and changing it to meet their motives.
Granted, there are some that are produced for purely commercial purposes, and that's a different story altogether.
Those that would GPL, however, I have a lot of respect for you. Maybe it's just a little different for you; or maybe it's because I'm not a musician, so it's not exactly just an intellectual production on my end.
only blind dumb luck gets them to stardom,..that or they're created.
So you're telling me bands like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, got big out of pure luck, no talent involved?
Ok, maybe you mean currently: what about Nine Inch Nails, Tool, Dream Theater, Radiohead.
Not all bands get big because of pure luck. The bands who do won't be remembered in five years (ie: NKOTB (for those you didn't realize it New Kids...)
Regarding everything else you siad, agree completely, this has got to be one of the greatest ideas. It'd even be helpful if they'd list local shows of all kinds of different types of music. In my hometown, I used to go see the local bands, and had made many friends through the shows, but since I've moved, I don't know what's around here, or where the shows are.... A newspaper doing something like this is actually very good not only for the musicians, but also for the people living there, as it makes a much more satisfied culture.
1) All musicians started out as local bands. 2) Just because a musician is popular doesn't mean he/she is good. (ie: britney spears) but most importantly, 3) You need to stop reason to techno.
Yes, in that sense it's different. And I quite agree with what they're saying, but you pulled it out of context.
His next workds were: "They're hanging out on the cyber-street corner." I used to in the priacy rings; and it -is- like a gang, it's a place to be accepted, to be around similarly-minded people, etc.
Then again, joining the football team is also like a gang. Adolescence is about joining "gangs" regardless of whether or not you commit crimes.
(Read: A gang is a group of people, not a group of people who kill other people.)
And I remember an article I read a while ago where the releasing group for audio software (I forgot the name) only released programs that could not be afforded by the ordinary person. Things like SoundForge run a couple hundred dollars, and therefore only businesses or professionals could use it. What about the little guy who wanted to consider entering the profession, but didn't have the money (yet) to buy it. -- Generally, business -do- get legitimate copies pecause of audits and support.
Anyways, back to point, this same group -refused- to release any programs that were under a hundred dollars, because these are generally writting by individuals or extremely small companies, and are generally affordable by the common man.

Immaturity like this only HARMS what we are trying to do.
Grow up kids.
That's right; the adult way to convince corporation/government office/anyone over the age of 20, is with green things.
And no, I'm not talking about grass.
Well, it wasn't a government authority, it was a capitalist one. Which I suppose says more about his convictions than we'd like to know.
Even though still going ahead and violating the DMCA would be cooler, he's got a much higher priority to his family.
If my company threatened to fire me for an action I was planning on committing, guess what? I'll listen up.
However, I -don't- know the specifics, so there's no real argument, just offering a possibility...

With the primary feature that you can play and control your xbox from literally anywhere in the world.

Feel free to mod this down, this now common comment is actually getting pretty old, and i'm just trying to overdo it so it's not funny anymore.

I'm not taking any sides, just stating facts...
They'd both complain about the other getting paid more, and refuse to help until they had a sole "contract". Weehee, on the road to chaos!

Yes it is, I've been sitting here laughing my ass off.

That said, I gotta go; I think it's my turn to hit the bong
I'm gonna write a letter to Microsoft saying they suck; then they'll send me a bunch of free software, which I can then resell on Ebay.
Yeah! Free Money!
I do believe there's a lot of bands out there that are good, popular, and weren't just put there...

"reason" was supposed to be "listening"
I guess I should stop erading \.
1) All musicians started out as local bands.
2) Just because a musician is popular doesn't mean he/she is good. (ie: britney spears)
but most importantly,
3) You need to stop reason to techno.
"near perfect in its shape"
He just wants to make sure it looks good. Which is completely undersatndable.
Hell, if I was going to die burning in a blaze of fire, I'd like my spaceship to look purty too.

search Google for "l33t speak" and you get The L33t Speak translator.
