From what I've seen, the latest Ask Slashdots are less of the "OSS developer asks for help and/or inspiration" and more of the "idiot who can't google asks inane tech support question or requests help with some shitty case mod".
If it's at all connected to your TV, VCR, or anything that connects to a cable TV system, the system may be the culprit. I had to take one of these and one of these, connected them back-to-back, and ran them inline with every cable line in my house. Evidently the cable system was wired by an idiot, and the distribution amps on the pole (or something like that) aren't very good quality.
Try it and see. I bought 50 of each of those adapters, spent 20 minutes, and went door-to-door in my apartment complex asking if they had a problem with hum on their stereo system. Sold 'em for $3 apiece.:D
I agree. Although I haven't gotten on Fido yet, i run a very fun and active BBS on my home DSL line. I've gotten an entire generation of kids that never BBS'ed addicted to LoRD and Tradewars, and am a node on DoveNET. Synchronet is truly a slick, nice piece of software, and my hats off to the developers.
And no, I'm afraid that I can't post the link to it. Slashdotting the home 128k upload DSL line would seriously piss off the rest of the household.:) Just keep an eye out for the Renegade Warehouse on DoveNET.
I like to pose bullshit geeky questions to tech websites. Some call me a troll. I'd like to use the change I find in my couch cushions to start up a cable company. Now that I've graduated ITT Tech, I know all there is to know about technology. Fortunately I have absolutely no concept as to how a business is run, let alone a multi-billion-dollar media business, but was hoping that some Slashdot reader has started a cable company (Ted Turner, you're on my Foes list!:):):) ) and can tell me how to do everything!

They're all fucking tedious, unoriginal cunts who have inbred indie rock so far that the constant slathering praise directed these bands is the critical equivalent of a one-eyed chinless inbred mutant winning a beauty contest.
They're just pissed cause Pink Floyd and The Who did it better, and they can't fucking figure out how they did it. So they whine about their cat and girls.
Innovative, my foot. Singing off key is not innovative. Biz Markie was burnin that shit a decade ago.
Jonny 290 asks: "Here in my neck of the woods (Hong Kong) there are hundreds of Internet cafes and Nintendo salons, where you can rent games by the hour. I would like to open a software salon. I imagine a central CD/DVD jukebox and either CD writers, or possibly DVD-ROMs. Users would need basic control over duplication, and, if possible, some automated way to request new versions. Cost is a big issue, as we will probably be charging less than a dollar per package. What are some of the ways we could set this up?"
I don't give a flying fuck what Louis Freeh urges, says, mandates, preaches, or invokes. I've got PGP, GPG, and several other crypto programs, as well as the full manuals and docs burned to high-quality CD-R in triplicate, stored in three geographically diverse locations.
It's illegal because it causes deaths. It causes deaths because dosage is tricky, but dosage is tricky because quality is unknown. Quality is unknown because it's black-market, and it's black-market because it's illegal.

Slashdot Mirror
You do homework for Slashdot!
Lord forbid I do a bit of wholesome trolling under my own name. :)
Cheaply made electronics beat each other half to death to get a better deal on YOU!

Movies review YOU!
In Soviet Russia, stupid Ask Slashdot stories bitch about YOU!
Old kernel uses YOU!

you just complained about a Koss audio product.
Dear eMachines,
Did you know your computers are crap?
Sincerely,
Customer
Steps to nautical navigation nirvana:
1: Buy a 14" flat panel monitor.
2: Shrinkwrap it with cables attached.
3: Profit.
Seriously, if it's encased in a waterproof and airtight plastic material, you'll be hard pressed to just fuck it up environmentally.

Now THAT's a fucking cool power strip. Screw the three dollar Walmart specials. Give me a junction box and some outlets!
I'd mod you -1 Redund if i could. It's just that it took him about ten words to say what you just did in 100. Hehehe.

Good point.
:)
I counter with the aptly-named Rubberhose deniable crypto system.
Anyone else happen to have a 4600 lb. magnet lying around?"
Yup. It's currently keeping my kid's lifesize crayon rendition of the Sistine Chapel stuck to my 46 foot tall, 1400 ton refrigerator.
Let me get this straight? She says that you can't run Cat5 along the hall baseboards?
Dump her and buy yourself a spool. You'll end up better off in the end.
In situations like this, the best solution is the bitchy-girlfriend-less network, rather than the wireless network.

Try to 'urge' those out of my possession.
That's why you mount the laser in the barrel of an M-16 and offer the Maryland sniper a job. Looks like he's the right guy for the task. :)
Yeah, it's a catch-22.
It's illegal because it causes deaths. It causes deaths because dosage is tricky, but dosage is tricky because quality is unknown. Quality is unknown because it's black-market, and it's black-market because it's illegal.
I've got an open WWW server at home with no passwords and a 2 GB mp3 share, which I access from work. Email me a directory listing of my mp3 share.
Betcha can't.
Nope.
