If you want to watch one show and record another, use the analog cable signal that should co-exist on the coax with the digital signal. Run your digital cable box to a S-Video or Composite in on your TV-tuner card, and use a serial cable to change channels on the external tuner. Then you should be able to use the tuner to watch the 70-80 channels offered on the analog cable signal. Or you could always go for 2 digital cable recievers..:diatonic:.
Yours is my favorite as well, and I would have bought one... don't particularly care for the winners.
Did just making the submission surrender rights to the design to OSDN?.. or could you legally sell them yourself? I've got a four color press:). You might need to add a tiny disclaimer on the shirt that 'slashdot' is a registered trademark of OSDN or something..:diatonic:.
I would think that since ~90% of consumer DVD burning is being done on Windows... tests should continue on Windows.
Besides... it's more about testing the format than the platform. Windows has far more tools available than Mac or Linux. Sad fact:(
I love my Mac Powerbook... even has the superdrive (DVD-R)... but there is about 10 times more software available for Windows... and it's easier to use... so that is what I use.
I watch DVDs occasionally in Linux on my x86 box with mplayer, but haven't even looked into burning them on Linux (DVD-R coasters are expensive)
And what if Pirate Pete would have never purchased those even if he didn't steal them. Perhaps Pete would have made due with using OpenOffice(TM) and got his Brittany fix on MTV.
Then his theft actions did not actually rob the IP holders of any money, because they would not have gotten the revenue anyways.
Avoid photographs & shadows since they don't print very well at 5 colors.
Shadows and photos can print great at 5 colors... even on black shirts. 5 color planes, White, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black.
It requires some knowlege about halftoning, but good screenprintes and designers can make it work very well. Use a yellow screen (to minimize dot gain) with a tight mesh and halftone your color planes accordingly.
ThinkGeek never does this kind of printing, which requires tight registration, but don't think it can't be done well.
The print heads and ink cartriges are seperate... It is a 6 color system which is either 42 or 60 inches wide. There are ink tubes that deliver ink from the cartriges to the print heads. These are really big printers in the $12,000 to $20,000 range.
Actually, the HP DesignJet 5500 does track ink usage and will not let you print when the cartrige goes empty. It does this to prevent air from getting into the lines that feed ink to the print heads. If air gets into those lines you're in for an expensive repair. There are companies that sell ink refill kits, but it stops the printers ability to track ink usage (because the ink level becomes unknown) and the printer can't tell when the cartriges should be replaced. I'd recommend sticking with genuine HP supplies.
Nice... ByteMonsoon is on a temporary server just trying to handle the current load, and someone links it to slashdot. Guess ByteMonsoon will be dead again.
If you don't think this is big news you are high. Apple fanatics have been itching for months to see what Panther would bring, and this is huge. Now if only they weren't quite so censored.

Has everyone forgot about 'Classic' mode in OS X?
on
QuarkXPress 6 For Mac OS X
·
· Score: 2, Informative
since the latest G4's don't boot into OS 9, rendering them useless for Quark.
People keep saying this... but Quark 4 & 5 ran fine in Classic mode within OS X. Don't get me wrong, I think it is way overdue to have a native OS X version of Quark... but you didn't have to boot OS 9 to run existing Quark versions.
But doesn't anyone think that efforts might be better spent on technologies that might enable them to catch the criminals *BEFORE* they exploit someone else?
I saw some cool ass new technology like that in a documentary titled, "Minority Report". That will surely be how computer thieves are caught in the future.
But there are still fair use arguements to circumventing DVD copy protection. Damaged DVDs can be expensive to replace... and circumventing the copy protection does not circumvent the copyright.
DVD's use variable bitrate MPEG-2 encoding, and even short movies can be >4.5 GB... I think it's being done as form of copy protection on commercial DVDs to sample the video at excessively high rates. I saw a single disc rip of LOTR the Two Towers that was on a DVD-R and the video looked great (it was a DVD rip from a disc submitted to the academy).
Look at movies done with Apple's iDVD (constant bitrate encoding) where 60 minutes can take an entire DVD-R.
There are thre software packages currently available to copy a full DVD9 disc to DVD5. All three will resample the video to fit on a single layer recordable DVD.
DVD2One is incredible fast, and gives the option of 'Movie Only' stripping menus and extras, or 'Entire Disc'. It can process an entire 8GB DVD in about 25 minutes on my 1.4 GHz T-bird.
DVD 95 Copy will preseve entire disc stucture (resampling video and giving option of discarding unwanted audio) Takes about 2-3 hours to process.
Pinnacle Instant Copy will also preserve entire disc. Takes about 4 hours to process disc.
Mozilla on Windows now has support for NTLM authentication. This enables Mozilla to talk to MS web and proxy servers that are configured to use "windows integrated security".
In the past you could still authenticate against NTLM services, though you had to type authentication information.
Username was entered as domain\username and Password was your domain password. Perhaps now it is transparently passed by a Mozilla browser logged into an NT domain. Cool.

That is why any sensible Linux Admin password protects the bootloader.

Sure it does... just launch it from the command line with the appropriate options. Terminal is your friend.
From the BitTorrent FAQ...
How do I limit the amount of bandwidth consumed by BitTorrent?
Use the --max_upload_rate command line parameter, which takes an upload rate in kilobytes/sec.
