  3. Baltimore, MD on Ask Slashdot: Undervalued, Livable American Tech Towns? · · Score: 1

    I am a software/technology business owner and I have been in Baltimore since the mid 90's.

    I can say that the tech industry is growing and maturing in the area and the cost of living is quite low for the proximity to urban lifestyles.

    A nice summary is here: https://michaelochurch.wordpre...

  12. Re:HD for Cable subscribers on World's Smallest PVR? TiVX 2230 Review · · Score: 1

    I wonder if there would be any merit to a class action law suit on this. I recently took advantage of the FCC decision http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-238850A1.pdf to require IEEE-1394 / FireWire out from the cable boxes, to find out the 160$ package I bought could not be watched on my FireWire enabled DVR & display.

    So I went out and bought a HDMI to DVI cable http://www.mwave.com/mwave/SkuSearch_v2.asp?SCriteria=BA22631 to watch on my projector & DVI flat panel to get an overlay from the cable box that says "this output is not authorized" and my show in the background for every channel.

  13. Choose them all under one. on Same Dev Tools/Language/Framework For Everyone? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    We frequently encounter this issue with our clients (government, military, and commercial). We know that this can be a very bad thing if they capriciously apply it across the board. What we have recommended allows for the most flexibility, while minimizing the "tools". In order of importance.

    1. Cygwin (0$)
    2. Eclipse (0-250$)
    3. Teraterm (0$)
    4. Adobe CS whichever (900-2500$)
    5. Microsoft Office 2003. (400$)

    This would allow any team member to move from one workstation/area of work to another without too much effort.

    As to the language, we recommend that one be chosen for "prototyping/scripting" and another for "enterprise" development.

    With Cygwin you get the CM tools, build tools, perl/bash/etc. (Already included tool set under Mac/Linux/Unix...) With Eclipse you get every thing too. (works on all OS) Teraterm nice term, just don't like putty myself. (not needed outside of windows) Adobe for those that like spending money. (Mac/Windows) Office, they are going to buy it anyway.

  20. Re:don't feel bad about it on Windows Key Leak Threatens Mass Piracy · · Score: 1

    How can the transfer of software licenses be held to be illegal?

    When we purchase machines from Dell, they MUST have an OS installed, and they cannot install RedHat. So when the machines come in, we peel the sticker off, apply it to the shrink wrapped media, and file in closet.

    Most of our machines go to government clients, who have site licenses for win2k, or they get used as servers (Linux).

    Why should my small business be charged for this XP Home crap, and then be prohibited from reselling the license and media?

    I am not asking to hold MS or Dell for support on the new software or the resold.

    The claim they use to refute this is that you NEVER purchased the software, but rather you lease the right to use the software.
