DV is already compressed (5:1) -- HUFFYUV is roughly half that (2.3:1). He'd actually lose space recompressing DV to HUFFYUV. He's better off keeping the files in native DV format.
You can pickup DLT 2000XT (15gb) off ebay for a song, or a DLT 7000 (35gb) for a bit more.
DLT tapes are incredibly tough, you can drive a car over them and they won't get damaged. You can drop them down flights of stairs without worrying about them breaking. And the DLT tape path isn't a convoluted helical scan design like most drives, so you don't run into the chronic tape munching problems that eg DAT and other helical scan systems have.
DLT is all about reliability and durability. They aren't _enormous_ storage, but they're pretty cheap for peace of mind.
The point being, corporate interests are driving criminal activity.
Corporations pay spammers to spam form them.
The spammers pay criminals to infect and backdoor computers for them so they can spam.
The criminals write viruses, worms, malware, backdoors, keyloggers, root scripts, etc. They portscan and bruteforse ssh on massive scales (I have seen 200+mbit ssh bruteforcing traffic).
Follow the money. Massive corporate $$ has turned the internet into a cesspool of attacks and compromised boxes.
corporations $$ -> spammers $$ -> criminals
get it? hold corporations responsible for this dreck, and the tree collapses.
This is really no different than the widely-ignored anti-fax laws.
The laws on the books state prohibit a company sending faxes to someone who explicitly tells you not to.
Yet we get deluged with hundreds of spam faxes a week. Over and over and over from the same companies. Many with blocked or deliberately falsified caller ID.
Law enforcement doesn't stop junk faxers, I don't see why it will stop spammers.
I doubt you really believe this. The big money is what brought the innovation.
It's what also brought malware, zombie spam networks, massive and continual and widespread attacks, phishing, nigerian scams, and a zillion other things we are constantly deluged with. These things are primarily driven by commercial interests. And there's virtually no law enforcement and no regulation over any of it. It's the wild west for corporations to exploit at their leisure.
So I can honestly say I really do believe the internet was much better off when it was not dominated by commercial interests.
The swimming pool was much nicer before all the corporations started massive scale dumping of industrial waste and sewage into it. Maybe you're into that kind of thing though.
Because said author's work isn't great. I was deeply unimpressed by ender's game when I read it.
And I felt that way long before I ever learned he was a raving bigot.
You want great? Just about any of Niven's Known Space stuff. Asimov. Clarke. Heinlein. Herbert. Bear.
I can see how ender's game might have great appeal to angsty teens as "my first SF novel", but as an adult I found ender's game incredibly two-dimensional and simpleminded. He took the fad of the times (video games) and turned it into a novel. The major problem is it was already cliche then, and it is doubly cliche now.
Overall, OSC's writing style is as smooth and subtle as being clubbed over the head, and as deep and insightful as a dinner plate.
But if you like that kind of writing, then hey -- knock yourself out. OSC is obviously for you.
Do you have examples of specifically which cross architecture and device drivers in Linux come from NetBSD?
The only drivers I'm aware of that came directly from BSD are the ncr53c8xx driver and aic7xxx. And those came from FreeBSD.
Some code in various drivers were written after peeking at BSD driver code, but the same goes for BSD peeking at linux driver code.
And AFAIK none of the cross architecture code in Linux is taken from NetBSD. If you have specific examples I'd be interested to see it.
FWIW it looks like Linux currently supports a much broader list of architectures and platforms than NetBSD. At least, I'm unaware of any NetBSD ports to say, the Apple iPod, Linksys WRT54G, Gameboy Advance, etc. You can find Linux there though.
One possibility is to use the system to destroy itself. Hordes of/.'ers filing patents on every trivial thing in the universe, causing the system to grind to a halt.
Only then would congress maybe consider patent reform, when the US government all but ceases to function as every miniscule aspect of computing comes under fire from patent infringement claims.
Such lists are a great resource for vigilantes looking for targets. And now you know exactly why the laws exist -- its not "protecting the public", its explicitly encouraging vigilantism.
If you really wanted to protect the public you'd make the address of career violent criminals (like those who commit multiple armed robberies, assault, etc.) public.
I'm a typical american I guess in that I'm japanese-american and grew up in a japanese household.
I suggest you ask any japanese you know about the animosity they hold for america regarding WWII. Be sure to talk to veterans of the japanese army.
You might also want to ask some chinese and koreans about historical american empire building, vs say historical japanese empire building.
Your attempt to paint japanese as some kind of innocent victim in WWII shows how distorted your worldview is.
As for painting all americans with the same brush, I seriously doubt you'll find that everyone looks at WWII or Iraq with the same rose colored glasses.
Turn off your reality distortion field and take a look around for once. And try not to let your hatred blind you too much.
Stop deliberately omitting historical context when making your arguments and people might take you a little more seriously, rather than a raving looney.
In other words, that the reason you lack evidence to back your argument up is that the evidence was 'erased' or 'supressed' or 'rewritten' by the victors?
That's a very convenient excuse.
You've done nothing but convince me you're completely unhinged.
You're posing your statements as if the US just decided out of a vacuum to cut off oil exports to japan, for no reason at all. Deliberately ignoring the context of the time, and japan's alliance with the axis powers.
The US cut off japan's oil to stop their expansionism.
Lets see now. Japan is cut off from american oil. The US demands Japan leave china and indochina. Japan can choose either diplomacy or war. Japan chose war, and the result was pearl harbor.
It's nice to play woulda-coulda-shoulda, but we already know from historical documents and first hand interviews that japan would never have chosen a diplomatic solution.
Other serious problems would be the climate change from the smoke from the massive fires.
Even relatively small grassland fires on the west coast here blot out the sun and lower the temperature considerably. Now imagine what happens when the entire west coast is ablaze -- entire forests and cities.
No, that really is how Theo talks. His arrogant and abrasive personality is what got him booted from NetBSD and it's what cost him that government grant.
Every time he opens his mouth it's like another turd falls out. And potential OpenBSD users run away in disgust instead.

expensive is an understatement. try $5000+ for SAIT drives on ebay :)
For critical/irreplaceable data, DLT is good.

Forget about random access though

It is much harder to trace the source of the ads themselves.
No it is not. Follow the money trail. Search warrants and subpoenas on bank records, etc.
Money talks, and in this case it leads law enforcement right to the doorstep of the exact source responsible for the ads.
Someone has to pay the transmitters after all. They don't work for free.

this must be some new usage of the word "great" I was previously unaware of.
OSC is a bigoted hack.
Except in that case, the criminals got caught anyway.

I find your crack about Californias to be offensive.
You mean there's more than one?
Just for the record, my kids attend public schools, where my wife volenteers, and then they do additional studing at home.
I sure hope you don't teach them spelling.
Nisei (or should I say "Sansei?")
Your racial attacks just rendered your entire post null.
Have fun with your next spittle-producing spew. I won't be listening, and I doubt anyone else will either.

Not very good at all. Lots of very lame strained and forced pseudo-jokes and the wild-eyed political spew is very distracting.
Needs far better jokes and lose the political spew.
beeping backing-up vehicles is a joke older than yoda, and not confined to star wars either. it's a pretty overused cliche by now.
A NetBSD guy saying they need to adopt the "insufferable asshole" approach? God help them all then.
No, that really is how Theo talks. His arrogant and abrasive personality is what got him booted from NetBSD and it's what cost him that government grant.
