If you are streaming over wireless and your original files are large (mpeg2 perhaps) then transcoding on the fly would make sense. And certainly would require a fast CPU.
"They can't stream content if you want video. The connection isn't the problem, the problem is NAS isn't fast enough to get content on the wire," he said. With a faster processor in its Media Server, data can now be streamed off a server, either wireless or wired.
WTF? I stream videos off my 400mhz K6 fileserver and have never had problems with CPU load. Are NAS devices seriously that slow?
Some spam/phish do get through the greylisting. They don't have to queue, just send to everyone twice. It does still help a lot, though. I only greylist dynamic looking hosts based on rdns to avoid delays of legit mail and that seems to work quite well.
One of my biggest web design pet-peeves is when someone takes a really large photo and changes the dimensions in the html, requiring the browser to scale it down. One of the possible improvements that Cairo would be able to provide is better image scaling. In my testing, this alpha does only slightly better than Firefox 2.0 (or IE7 for that matter). When the scaling is minor, it is difficult to tell the difference between the Cairo scaled image and one that is scaled using a good algorithm (say imlib2 or the gimp). However, when the source image is much larger the scaling artifacts are still pretty noticeable.
Opera is still the clear winner here. Hopefully there is more room for improvement from Firefox. Of course, it is still a waste of bandwidth to not prescale.
No, actually Novell dumped SuSE OpenExchange some time ago. SuSE didn't actually develop it. They just licensed it from a company called Netline. Novell didn't continue the license so Netline now sells it themselves.
Why should they support Zune on Vista? They don't even support Vista at all since it hasn't been released to the public yet. The fact that it works under compat modes suggests that it will be a simple fix for MS once Vista is officially released.
Although it saves me a lot of fast-forwarding when it does work, it is far from perfect. Often times it will only skip part of a large commercial block common during prime-time shows. Even worse is when it skips part of the actual show due to a black frame or corrupted digital signal.

Did you know that Debian's logo is also a trademark and that Debian does not allow free use of their trademark either? They can't, because if they did they would lose their trademark status. Thus, Debian is finding fault with Mozilla for doing something that Debian does itself. Where I come from, we call this hypocrisy.
Where do you get this animosity from? Mozilla says: You can't use our Trademark anymore unless you follow these rules. Debian says: Following your rules would break our rules so we won't call it Firefox anymore.
Debian is simply respecting Mozilla's trademark in the same way that Debian expects people to repect their own trademark. How is that hypocrisy?
I just ordered two 300GB Seagate 7200.9 Rapor Drives (SATA) for $99 piece from PC Mall, also a good deal.
Uhm, Rapor? I guess you mean Raptor? That's Western Digital, buddy, and they are not 300GB and definitely not $99. Even the 74G Raptor is $165.99 at PC Mall.
It is possible that this guy has something to do with it but HP has had connections to Debian for a while. Bruce Perens was "Senior Global Strategist for Linux and Open Source" for two years at HP until they fired him for "Microsoft-baiting". Bruce Perens was the second Debian Project Leader. (Ever wonder why Debian releases are named after Toy Story characters? Bruce also worked for Pixar.)
I think that credit cards generally charge higher fees to porn sites because they are considered higher risk or something. There probably have a higher rate of fraud and chargebacks.
Most of the reviews I've read of this book have not been particularly positive. Get "Perl Hacks" instead. Or Randal's Perls of Wisdom... Or the Cookbook...
In my experience, copying files back and forth in Explorer works fine but open/saving files directly from Word, for example, will result in crashes and data loss.

You can buy a barebones laptop from, for example, ASUS.
Also, Alienware PCs and Laptops are supposedly free of bloatware.

Any way to hook-up a MythTV box to one of these?

That just leaves Novell with GroupWise which is not Open Source. Does run on Linux though.
No, completely different. Hula comes from Novell NetMail. SLOX came from SuSE.

If you are going to be offensive, at least be funny too.
I think I would be happier WITH the dollar.

He means that the last RC before release was the same as the final release.
I was hoping for some actual examples. What kind of hardware would you be building if not for HDCP?
I don't really get it. Is it just the principle or does HDCP actually prevent you from doing something useful?
May be beside the point but the magazine "Business 2.0" has been around a lot longer than Web 2.0. Since 1998, in fact.
