I've been looking for a cellular wireless internet solution for a while (Palm VII didn't cut it) and the Zaurus seems very expandable. Does anyone have any experience with the Zaurus and/or Verizon 3G (or any other cellular internet service?).
Does anyone have any info on other USB Audio hardware in Linux? I haven't been able to find any specifics for the SoundBlaster Extigy and M-Audio Quattro. I'm also considering creating a driver but would hate to do so in vein. I'm also interested in other USB Audio Hardware that works well with linux (20-bit, 48khz atleast). Thanks
Please read what I've posted and, more importantly, what I have not. By threatening CD Distributors with Trade Mark infringement, Red Hat has made selling exact copies of their CD more difficult. Do we like it? No. Is it right? Probably.
Businesses tend to get involved and complicate what it is we love to do. Most of us loved to use napster, and the RIAA got involved. Most of us loved to surf the internet, and the advertising agencies got involved.
All I am pointing out is that companies tend to complicate things. Whether any of us like it or not is nearly beside the point. I really enjoy DeMuDi as it stands, and I probably would have/will enjoy ReHMuDi, but with Red Hat involved, it has the potential to change things. Maybe I'll contribute thousands of lines of code, but when it comes time for me to sell a product based on it, I will be denied the ability to associate it with ReHMuDi, a project I personally (may have) helped to create and promote.
The page in question outlines the threatening letter to distributors of Red Hat CDs and what it means to distributors. It is the truth with some research. I don't like it, but I thought you should know about it, and I'm sure Red Hat would like you to know about it as well.
The page is not anti-Red Hat, but pro-knowledge. I'm sure many people who stumbled on the site didn't know Red Hat's policy on copied CDs.
Red Hat has made our life a slightly more difficult. This is what they have done. We are not trying to slam them, or tell them they are wrong, or even had another choice, but this is how it is.
I guess what it really comes down to is reality. If we wanted to sell copies of Red Hat Linux 7.3 on eBay, or on our website, how are we going to do that now? Are we going to call it Pink Cap? Or XXX XXXX? Or Pontific Linux 7.3? And if so, how are customers going to easily know what they are getting? How are they going to find what we're selling? Many other distributions allow the sale of their discs so long as it is understood that what is being sold is a copy.
I would also like to note that while writing this I have tried to remain somewhat impartial (OK, so I used bold in a few places;) ). I really just wanted to let everyone know what Red Hat is doing and what it means for the community, not cast judgement on them. If anyone has any suggestions for better wording to achieve that, please let me know!
I've been paying attention to AGNULA for a while now and used DeMuDi (the debian based audio distribution) for some time. While the project could definitely use some serious corporate funding, we really don't need Red Hat Making Life More Difficult
There are so many methods of communication that differ so slightly (ie~ ICQ, AIM, Jabber, etc) from eMail that the Postal Service wouldn't have had a chance at controlling anything. eMail is just a client server communication. Very few people, much less the USPS can stop that. The USPS would have to have a legal mandate that says no personal information can travel from one person to another on the internet.
It also seems that the USPS wasn't trying to control eMail, but add a service to their physical handling of mail to speed up delivery.
I suppose I've always envisioned a monopoly not just technically, but from a consumer standpoint of familiarity. This just strikes me as odd: Dell has a division making computers Dell has a division making printers
Because Dell has decided to make printers, the division making computers no longer has the ability to purchase HP printers. But, since HP does not have a monopoly on this commodity hardware, they can discriminate against companies that have divisions that compete with theirs? Sounds legal, but it sounds strange at the same time...
With the (somewhat) recent prosecution of Microsoft, I read up (somewhat) on Anti-trust laws, and this seems to be text book. "Hewlett-Packard Co. , the No. 1 printer and personal computer maker" stops selling printers to Dell because of a completely unrelated business venture (Dell making printers), in hopes to keep their 'monopoly' on printers. Could someone explain how this isn't antitrust?
If you need justification, just think that somewhere, someone will notice that boxed set sales of Mandrake were up this month, and they should stock more.:)
We are in serious talks with credit card processors in getting a merchant account and plan to have a new system in place within the next couple weeks. Very sorry it didn't work out...
If you are interested in purchasing this CD-r set:

A company I do work for is selling (3) CD-r sets of this distribution for $2.49. $0.50 is donated to misc. Open Source and $0.50 is donated directly to Mandrake for their hardwork in creating this distribution.
Hello, Are you asking if a person or organization can 'donate code' to Open Soars and receive a store credit that they may use when they need computer hardware? If so, that is an interesting concept. Otherwise, let us know what your friend is looking for. Thanks! -Scott
We've started a company that makes donations to Open Source projects and organizations based on sales made from our website. We publish the amount donated and let users decide how the donation is spent.
I wasn't attacking the setup of these boxes. I understand that at the moment, false posities are a part of IDS, no matter what product you choose. I just pointed out a few things I didn't agree with the article, such as the expection that this software is simple and should be able to be setup by someone quickly with little expertise.
I worked in a NOC for some time and found that while false alarms generally take away from the impact of real alarms, they still alarm you that something not quite right is going on in your network.
They also go on to mention all ask too much of their users in terms of time and expertise to be described as security must-haves. IDSs are not screen-savers. Those who are setting up an IDS better have a good understanding of how they work and how to configure these applications. Point-and-click doesn't really apply to something this involved.
... As for stability, I think this report is correct, the only IDS I've used that didn't crash consistanty was snort (with ACID)
I do work for a company that donates significant (and published) portions of its sales (mostly Open Source compatible computer hardware) to Open Source projects and organizations of the user's choosings. For more information, check Open Soars
Hello all, I currently do work for a website that sells Open Source computer hardware and donatates a significant part of the profit to Open Source and Open Source related projects of the user's own choosings. If you'd like to check it out, check out Open Soars. Thanks, -Scott
Right next to the picture of a tiny 'high performance' car that probably wouldn't withstand the impact of the cone its steering around is a link entitled 'SDSU College of Engineering suffers a tremendous loss... which details a professor who recently died in an auto accident.
... That calling something unbreakable is not a good idea. In fact, by calling a product 'unbreakable', you're probably lowering the the overall security just because people will break it sooner!
What about sound quality?
on
lowercase music
·
· Score: 4, Insightful
While the idea of very quiet sound may appeal to some listeners, one cannot deny the concept that since this is recorded at a lower volume it is actually of lower representative quality. Why not record it at resonable volumes and play it at your desired listening volume level?
In example, instead of your sample range range being from 0-65535 it is 0-4096, it may be 'lowercase music', but it could also be represented in just 12 bits instead of 16. The vinyl enthusiats must HATE these guys!
