DirecTivo kicks ass. The interface is very easy to use. I can record anything, even pay-per-view if I have paid for it. The only problem I've ever had is recording Cold Case on CBS after a football game has gone past 7:00. But expanding the recording window is easy.
Two things that would make it even better is: 1. Instead of doing the daily calls over the telephone every night, do it over my internet connection instead.
2. Let me access the box via a network connection, so I could set up some sort of server on my network to be able to program it remotely (like from the other side of the country) to record programs I forgot to set up recording for.
I've been running RH7, 8, 9 then Fedora on my boxes for a few years. Got an AMD64 and decided to try Gentoo since they had the 2.6 kernel in the AMD64 2004.0. After scaling/mnt/gentoo I kinda like it. Fedora's still ok but I've found myself in rpm hell too often. Of course I've just traded rpms for ebuilds.:) BTW, the project I'm currently working on has SuSe running on a couple IBM pSeries boxes. It's not too bad either.

Well if it had wheels you could do that.
At 100,000 feet the circumference will be 24,961.06 miles.
So travelling at 2382.03 meters/sec or 1.48 miles/sec it would take 4 hrs. 41 min. 6 secs. Still pretty frickin' fast!
I've been using spamcop's webmail for personal email for about a year and a half. I'm pretty satisfied with it. Once every few months a spam gets through the cracks, and I cut and paste the message source into their spam reporting form, and it sends emails to the ISPs. They also give you the option of using spamassasin in addition to their blacklist.
Well, the speed of light is constant in a uniform medium, but that doesn't mean that the speed of light is the same in all media. So a signal passing through air will have a different speed than one traveling through concrete.
Apparently AT&T is running this show. I would think online registry for this would be wildly popular, so it would be prudent to set up a robust web presence. One would think that AT&T is capable of this.
It didn't at first. I remember logging on using Linux/Mozilla, and they had a page saying that Mozilla was not supported but they were working on it. Amazingly, they actually were(!) and today, yes, it works swimmingly with Mozilla.
Well, they'd own the music written using the 12-tone scale we're all familiar with. I suppose stuff by John Cage, et al, would still slip through their fingers....
I am currently using JAXB on a project. I needed to pull data out of a relational database and put it into and XML form. JAXB does this very well, and makes creating the XML much easier than doing it by hand, i.e. stringBuffer.append("<element>").
The one thing about JAXB that is a pain is creating the xml schema. First, I tried to write a DTD and then use a conversion tool to write the schema, but too much got lost in translation. Of course, I was using a freeware converter (dtd2xs). XMLSpy may do the conversion better. So I had to hand-correct the converted schema.
Once the schema is done, JAXB is really an excellent tool.
Well, on a Russian ship it would be "Welcome to my ship. Isn't he splendid?" as the Russian navy refers to ships in the masculine, as opposed to the feminine in the US navy.
I see a lot of posts talking about how you need absolute proof to believe something.
I've seen many theories postulated that are based on inductive reasoning (i.e. the Sun has risen every day in history, so it will rise again tomorrow) or a building of theories based on proof of other theories.
A lot of science is based on things we can't prove or haven't proved yet, but are are given credibility by the accepted theories on which they are based.
However, I do agree that when I hear someone say "Foo happens because of Bar, and that's a fact!", I tend to cast a skeptic's eye until I can see why they believe this to be the case.
In watching the Christmas-related stuff on the History Channel, it would seem that it was those pesky heathens who started all this revelry in late December. The church tacked on the Feast of the Nativity later and then Christmas on top of that.
My point is that being a heathen, you should know quite a bit about the true meaning of Christmas!:)

This is pretty standard. Wanna be an IBM business partner? Cough up some dough and get your certifications. Same with other companies.
If you're good, you make enough during the year that you can easily pay the partner fee every year. If you're not good, (in a perfect world) you go away.
I wonder how much JBoss will help in finding contracts for you. My experience with doing this sort of thing is that they tell you they'll do all these things for you, and once you've paid they disappear, leaving you to get the contracts yourself.
I think most of the value is you being allowed to advertise that you are an XXXX authorized partner, even though having the cool logo in your brochure doesn't have anything to do with if you know what you're doing or not.

Wow. I hadn't heard of this either.
Looks like it works for SpamCop email as well. Sweet.
sweet.
Thanks AC!
Absolutely.

Yeah, I'd be surprised, too.

The most dangerous words you can think during a remodeling project are "as long as we're here, we might as well..."
:)
The next most dangerous words are, "That can't be too hard. It might even be fun."
I think this also applies to software maintenance.
Yeah, me too.

All I want from a debugger is to be able to step through code and see values of my variables at certain points and verify program flow.
Most often I'll use it as a tool alongside using printf's or println's and (gasp!!!) just sitting down and reading the code in question.
Debuggers are useful, but I see too many freshouts using them exclusively to fix code, rather than just looking at the code to analyze the design.
