supposed to be adding video transmit support for y! webcam. my computers (yes plural) recently had a meltdown of some kind. don't hold your breath.
those who are interested, i'm sure the help would be welcomed. scope is video and voice. contact marv (#gaim / freenode)
of note is the libj2k completely GNU GPL jpeg2000 library implementation, which avoids the questionably-incompatible licensing and free-as-in-freedom issues of libjasper.
there's a lot of msn/linphone work in there too.
for those of you have worked on patching Direct IM images to work again, gaim-vv would be the place to get that committed. hint, hint.
a dog, a dishrag, refridgerator with floor-height handle, and a comparitively small 2 or 3 month investment of training.
upkeep? bulk dog food is competitively priced to electricity-sucking robot power in most areas.
"hey i'll use my RO- BOT to fetch a beer."
no thanks.
*whistle*
dog opens refridgerator door with dishrag, fetches beer.
until a robot means a beautiful women who can satisfy the penis, i will prefer the beer-fetching and loyal domestic pet. by the time the former happens, the penis will no longer be in charge.
audiolunchbox is the first seller online that i have seriously considered and followed through with the purchase of music albums.
my only complaint is they do not offer some sort of lossless compressed format of the original media. at oggvorbis quality 6 gt1b3, it doesn't really matter a whole lot. the files are tagged adequetely (title/artist/album/date (year)/tracknumber), and there is a very decent distribution system that is fair and reasonable. 24 hours to download that starts when you say it starts, though you may purchase music and start the countdown/retreival later.
what do i miss? not much.
i had 5 albums in my collection of about 10,000 songs that i purchased through ALB. the quality of the ALB purchases is superior to the crap i had in my collection, and it's the best 40 bucks i've spent in a long time.
my attempts to inform friends about ALB results in the "what are you, stupid? paying for music! that's a waste of money" counter. these are friends who pay for tickets and go to concerts regularly.
[opinion] perhaps in the age of shitty popular record-label-produced studio young adult skanksville singers, and the overwhelming field of nu-molestal HI-EQ scenester heart throb poster-grungers for the new age, the only currency for the majority of top-40 listeners is to buy the album. all the hard life rockers on tour are to make do, perhaps, with being raped by ticketmaster? [/opinion]
5 albums for 40 bucks. it's still a lot to pay for music that i don't own the rights to. say my computer crashes - or house burns down in the case of owning said chunk of plastic - i don't have the right to the music i essentially paid royalties to the artist for. in an ideal world of the super turbo mega zoom happy fun digital age, there'd be a repository of music these mega record company scum co-conspirators keep with a permenant backup of all music in existance. lose your copy? prove you own it, pay 2 bucks distribution charge, get what's rightly yours.
mine goes, i recently threw 5 bucks in my (new) paypal account to see how that process works. ALB supports payment using paypal, and there's an interesting album for $(2.99). i purchased it, as the site is easy to navigate and payement is made easy using paypal. the preview in particular works much better than other similar sites i've used. xmms loaded with the preview link and gave no trouble.
the WINE project devs would not touch any info released, with a 20 foot pole, because it is not free-as-in-beer. it would have a microsoft restrictive license. there is actually more harm done by this, as the AOL/TW "opening" for example. they proposed, and opened, TIC standard which is outdated and rarely used anywhere now (versus OSCAR which is in common use for AIM). this got the gorilla off their back and warrented a healthy-enough look of wanting to inter-operate, that the AOL+TW buyout/merger went through.
parent post should be modded up for interesting. anyone care to comment on whether or not an IR-based "gun" game controller works with televisions other than CRT technology?
i'd rather store DivX rips on cute little MiniDiscs than on a full blown CDROM disc. i'd like to see 1gb minidiscs as a replacement for VHS, actually *cough* beta *cough*

..but why do we need this?
The biggest hole in security is usually the people operating technology. Ever want something, call up and ask for it.
What does the ability to have uncrackable encryption do to thwart social engineering tactics?
you must agree...
because it's magic

It was a mistake to change the name away from SeaMonkey. duh.
Phoenix, Firebird, MozillaFirebird, now Firefox?
name the damn binary anything, and stick with it, at least. i don't care what you call it. just keep the programatic nomenclature consistent.
no code, no balls, some advice...
shush!
that is all.

i can't tell what is real or what is 90210-ized these days. it's refreshing to see a bit of history. or an elusive scam.
well _my_ professor grows nanotubes with two bits o' string and chicken wire. none of that sissy labratory stuff.
and his nanotubes go at least twice the speed of light. they laugh at drops of blood and eat babies.

which one, the lemming or the hampster? does that make Daryl the father?
i'll bet Daryl is the hampster, hampster McBride.
FYI it's MozillaFirebird, not Firebird. Perhaps you are confused?

...DLP is a type of sandwhich. they are leaving out the mystery sauce ingredient, like so:
1) D

3) ???
4) P!
i'm sure you can come up with the true recipie for ingredient number three.

right. 230mb for a standard MD medium. i had researched this extensively, and found only one instance of the fabled SCSI data MD drive.

...over compensating for something.
... out of Linux.
thus the RMS "they're taking all the credit away from GNU" argument for GNU/Linux as a naming scheme is somehow avoided
