A good idea

TiVo Basic
·
· Score: 4, Interesting
The subscription requirement has always turned me off from getting Tivo. Why would I pay for a program guide and title searching when i have this inlcuded in my satellite/digicable service already. Basic sounds like a good idea for people who just want the hardware.
But if you're putting programs or even DivX movies on a CD, believe me, you want that error-correcting information.
Which is why you encode your Divx movies not into AVIs, but into OGM ogg file containers. Not only do they have error correction, so you can use 800 meg mode 2 cds, but they have multiple audio track, multiple subtitle track, and chapter support. Divx 5 with Vorbis audio, subtitles and chapters, and you got near dvd quality on one 800 meg cd. Its great, and not used nearly as much as it should be.
the switch away from your cable company deal isnt as appealing as it might seem. I have comcast cable in my area, and it sucks. Thats why we switched to DirecTv years ago, and are quite happy. However, for internet, we have comcast cable internet, and it works quite well. As bad as Comcast may be, its cable internet is far better than the DSL around here. Guess who's dsl that is? Yep, SBC.
Show some inmates with lots of power how to make free phone calls, and perform some favors for them. When you get out, they will take you into an elite crime syndicate as their technology head. Then wait for a secret box that decrypts everything to come along, and hire your former best friend to steal it for you. Simple as that
The student, identified as Igor Serebryany, 19, of Los Angeles, was accused of sending over the Internet hundreds of sensitive documents describing details about DirecTV's latest "access card" technology - credit-card devices controlling which of the company's 11 million U.S. subscribers can view particular channels.
The P4 and all other DirecTV and Dish access cards are Smartcards, not magnetic strip cards like credit cards. The Amex Blue and one Visa card are also smart cards, but credit cards in general are not, and Blue still has a mag strip. Sattelite access cards do not use mag strips.
my foosball table came with a scoreboard, timer, prewired goal sensors, and a cool center ball launcher(optional of course), and the whole thing only cost 60$
hah i wish i had mod points... anyway there are lots of good sites out there already, no need for/. check Overgrow for all your hydro,organic,chem, etc needs:)
I saw the new Lord of the Rings today, and an employee at Sony said there would the T3 trailer, but it wasn't there. Anyone else seen the new trailer on the big screen?
While you provided excellent examples in the UK, there is no need to look any further than US satellite services. Directv and Echostar both use smart cards that have been hacked since the beginning. When one gets swapped out for a new one, that one gets hacked in a matter of months. Nothing new.
i live in a town that has both, but dsl was available first, so thats what most of my friends have. i have cable on the other hand. The one advantage I find is that on DSL when you are uploading, your downstream gets the crap kicked out of it, whereas on cable I can u/l and d/l at the same time no problem. All my friends on DSL have this problem, its SBC aDsl for those interested.
But Decoding no. Perhaps they meant you can also watch your divx movies on the HD, along with your saved shows. I doubt your gonna find realtime divx/mpeg4 encoding around for less than 500$ total.
"How about creating a new section on slashdot called Software Updates. That way every little version number changed can be published and discussed."... "And this should get rid of a lot of "Why do you post every Minor version change" comments and the like.'
That means your post would be gone too. And if your post never existed, the new section you have proposed could never possibly exist in the first place. You have just erased youself. Think about that.
Great, now just another domain everyone will need.

Kid-Safe Domain Created
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
Every company is going to be forced to get a kids domain now, or be left out of this "new internet". What if i want to include a google box to search my own kid site, or link to current headlines at CNN? I can't because these are.com, and obviously not safe enough. Big companies can afford it, by why should everyone be forced to create new, possibly edited domains(cause they can only like to kids domains now too), just to be a viable part of the internet
Seriously, he is resigning because he thinks others aren't putting enough time in. One could assume that he was most likely putting a good amount of time in. Now he is resigning, accomplishling what? Even less time being put in. I understand what he is trying to do, but maybe its not the best of going about it, good luck to him though.
Run the Anti-Leech security tester on "your site" - www.anti-leech.com then see all the source and links that are visible, and howly poorly written "your site" is.

Nice job wrackin up karma with lies though. Check for yourself to find out the real info.
exec1: How can we justify raising the cost of this new speedboard in order to make more money? exec2: Well in the past, when companies wanted to make technology more expensive without adding anything useful, they packaged interchangable color face plates. exec1: Of course! But that wont work in this case, what can we change the color of instead? exec2: The handlebars? exec1: The handlebars! Includes interchangeable handlebars (orange, black, and white)
What a "feature", as if all the AIBO stuff wasn't expensive enough already.
Or atleast I'd consider it if I held U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,954,064; 4,075,948; and 4,148,260 which utilize "a gravity powered system that requires a tunnel several thousand feet into the earth." If you wish to avoid future legal action, stop publicly defaming my patented inventions immediately!
By adult only jokes i meant jokes that are dirty or innapropriate for kids. By jokes only adults would get, i mean jokes that take a little more thinking, but once you get what they are talking about, are really funny. Hope you follow what im saying.

Everyone here on slashdot either has an iPod or wants one. Yeah, even if it doesn't run Linux.
It does.

Well here, in Soviet Russia, mobile phone numbers list you, and it costs 4 potatoes a month to be removed.

you were the first post, they found my first post, way at the bottom of the ocean in a rock, and its even older.
variety is the spice of Slashdot.
I never knew variety and repost were synonyms
