No, this translates to here, have a framework (look, no reverse engineering codecs) and write a simple frontend for your multitude of gui libraries. I think that's a pretty fair deal (eg. mplayer can't write interfaces to the code rather than reverse engineer binary interfaces).
No, no, no. Firstly, even many of the original mpeg2 dvd has many quite disgusting artifacts BEFORE they are encoded with mpeg4. After the divxification they become even worse - and though you might not be able to tell the difference - many can.
Lossy Compression -> Lossy Compression = Even Lossier Compression.
Google has always used new searching technology to grab mindshare and then unobtrusively introduce ways to advertise or make money out of it (eg. business google search appliance, google adwords, etc). I don't see why this would be any different.
Not every company has no direction or hope. It just so happens that some have a business plans which benefit both the consumer and the company.
Where can I find this gtk2 theme so I can try it out. I'm sure redhat are open enough for it to be downloaded, however I can't figure out which rpm it is in without downloading them all... (I also wouldn't mind some of 'them nifty icons').
Jabber is an open protocol for instant messaging, based on XML. It allows for communication similar to current aim, icq and msn messenger protocols/programs. However, it is able to surpass them based on the openness of the protocol (lots of non-braindead clients for many platforms), features such as ssl encryption on messages (if client and server support it) and through use of transports which allow users of a jabber network to openly interface with clients on other networks (msn messenger, icq, aim, etc).
The ability to log on with only one username/pass and have all contacts on all of your networks be contacted through a consistant interface alone is worth trying jabber out. I recommend psi as a good starting client, however you can find many other clients on jabbercentral .
For those of you who want to try out jabber, psi is a great crossplatform client, with support for windows, linux and mac OSX. I've been using it for some time, and with the msn, icq/aim, etc transports, there isn't really any reason to use anything else.
I really do hope the jabber folks are able to make jabber a standard.
It's very noble of Gobe to release the source after the product's financial demise, rather than sell it on for a pittance. Hopefully the clean and bloat-free source will live on.
See osnews for a comment by one of Gobe's developers Tom Hoke.
Well, considering Dan Rutter at least writes for (not sure if he works there), I'm sure that atomic magazine would be a fairly likely candidate.
For those of you in Aus, Atomic is the best computer mag I've found in Australia - hardly any ads, and interesting articles which are actually worth reading and not trivial.
I got pulled up by the log checkers by one of the admins at my school for looking up porn when I was browsing freshmeat.net. It didn't really occur to them to actually try loading the page to see whether it was in fact porn. Sheesh.
It's people like you who actually cause the RIAA to come down on our case. I do use P2P programs to get music from time to time, and I used to download a lot, but if everyone had your attitude, I'd have to say that we'd be in the wrong. I'm not saying to buy every CD, but what's wrong with buying a couple cds of the music you/really/ like. The quality difference is worth it, unless if you're downloading mp3s at 256 or shns (unlikely).
Besides, those 'morons' are funding your audio addiction.
The Abit KR7a with 4 RAM slots has ram issues which cause it to give memtest86 errors. This has been hypothesised to be caused by the non-standard amount of ram slots. This was a huge source of grief for me, and I eventually returned the board and had to get credit for the store. As this board also has 4 RAM slots, I would watch out for this board. I will never buy Abit products again because of their extremely high RMA rate. Please follow this link for details on the problem.
Actually, maxtor has a drive utility to change the loudness of the drive. This will have a small impact on the performance (probably won't make much of a difference when used by a tivo), but from what it sounds, that'd be worthwhile. You'd have to put it in your computer and run the utility, but it's probably worthwhile.
See noise utilities for ibm and maxtor drives.
9 Million _people_. Does every single man, woman and child have a cellphone. Bwahah. As if.
It's more like 1-2 million people sending 500 million messages per year. Which is a lot. Those who write a greater portion of that would find a keyboard quite useful.
If you want great quality audio for a fairly cheap price, check out the reviews of headphones at www.headwize.com. Headphones can achieve a far greater quality of audio for less than speakers. I currently have a pair of Sennheiser HD580s and they're fantstic.
Not really.. how many people do you know without very much technical computer knowledge that knows that there are cracks for programs to eliminate copy protection.. or that knows about astalavista.box.sk? Not many. So it from being accessible to most people.

Stanford has granted an exclusive Pagerank license until 2011. After that Stanford can license it to anyone they want until it expires in 2017.
Looks like this might come in handy after all at 2.6GB per image.
WinRar is pretty useless, I personally use 7zip, it's excellent, does zip, rar, 7z, tar, bz2, gz and more and is GPL'd, so what more could you want?

Grab it from http://www.7-zip.org/ and prepare to load it onto all future computers ('tis small too

Assuming you don't use it with a web browser - the fundamental flaw.

Except for use it without a flash plugin... Sheesh, it should at least have skip intro or an explanation of what the page does.
