It is also, to the best of my knowledge, the only networked audio device that has a command line interface. telnet into the slimserver on port 9090 and you can control all of the SqueezeBoxen on your network directly - makes writing 3rd party clients very easy...
that wouldn't fix it - the firmware for the squeezebox itself is closed, so having access to the server source wouldn't wouldn't be able to fix the issue. You need to do the decoding on the squeezebox itself if you want the native fast forward and reverse functionality.

There is one school of thought which says that permitting open access to your internal network to machines that are not under your control is a potential recipe for disaster and might well compromise all your nice firewalling work that you have done (it's not called a trusted network for nothing)
The solution to this is to have a DMZ zone which untrusted clients are allowed to connect on which may have outgoing SMTP enabled, and keep your trusted network as exactly that. No more spam bots, no more email-less clients.
If you design your site utilising non-pixel based measurements (mm, pts or relative such as %) then they will scale to the appropriate size that best fits the resolution of the target browser and platform.
And before everyone starts going on about images not scaling, I would strongly recommend that you read alistapart's article on Elastic Design, and check out the Demonstration page. Resize the text and watch the whole site scale...

COMPANY
Stellar Stone Group is a full-service game development outsourcing company that manages the creative pool of designers, artists, programmers and Internet technologies specialists. Our company was founded in late 2000 to provide development services and technology licensing to interactive entertainment industry.
Since that date we not only completed number of projects for clients such as BMG Records, Sony Pictures, Heineken/Amstel, Microsoft but also developed massive game engine technology that allow us to cut expenses associated with game development up to 5 times.
MISSION
We strive is to provide our clients with best of gaming technologies and cut their development expenses, allowing them to concentrate on product rather than on technology hustles of development. We are capable of doing large scale sophisticated technological projects, utilizing the best technologies and guarantee customer satisfaction.
We combine stong management ( with our Santa Monica, CA based headquarters ) with superb creative, yet non expensive development teams in Russia. This allows our clients to cut development expenses 3-5 times comparing to cost of local European or US development team or employees. At same time we provide instant feedback to our clients, thanks to our management offices in Los Angeles and London.
Please check our Services to get more information on our offerings, standarts (sic) and procedures.
ADVANTAGE
The highest technical caliber of Stellar Stone developers coupled with low offshore Russia-based engineering costs gives us sustainable competitive edge to employ more and higher quality engineers than a typical US company can afford, staff up projects faster, put more developers on a project for a better gameplay value and graphics visuals. For our customers that transfers into richier product feature set at the same price point.
...it does make you wonder about how people actually get the funding doesn't it...
If you are looking for something a little bit different and are based in Europe, then you should check out the AirBag range. They are hand made from recycled rubber dinghy material, with seatbelts as shoulder strap (probably shouldn't snap while jogging...). Each bag is different due to the manufacturing process so it is worth finding somewhere that has a range that you can look at. The only distributer that I am aware of in the UK is smallfish records who have quite a selection of bags available.
If anyone is interested in the history of this field then I would highly recommend the book with the above title, edited by Inderjeet Mani and Mark T. Maybury. amazon. Lots of very interesting articles, including discourse trees and a brief bit of stuff about summarising non-textual assets such as diagrams, video streams etc etc
Ho hum. slashcode doesn't really seem to like URLs with spaces in them and is closing them up. such is life. If anyone is really interested in the Fortingall Yew, then do this:-
Totally valid point. However, the choice as to whether I want to have less battery life at the expense of better sound quality should be my choice should it not?
And I suppose that this means that the battery life on the European iPods is better than the American model then?
Before everyone starts going off on 104db being too loud for people to listen to without hearing loss (oops, too slow everybodys started already), people might like to consider a totally valid reason for this patch: the SPL of 104db is only generated when utilising the supplied headphones with the iPOD. If you choose to use better quality yet less sensitive headphones then you will need a higher output to generate the same SPL. However, you are not currently permitted by the powers that be to do this. Also, some people may be listening to non-normalised sound files which have an average volume considerably lower than your average normalised recording. The peaks in non-normalised recordings will be much more likely to be transients which are much less likely to cause problems, but are you "permitted" to raise the average output level up to a reasonable level? I think not...
I had the honour of being introduced to computing by Francis Glassborow back in '84 who (among other things) was responsible for:-
Starting us off with a version of Forth running on a Sinclair Spectrum (written by himself, 1K core kernel, 4K if you wanted an editor with emacs compatible key bindings...)
Moving us onto Pascal as soon as we started getting too attached to being too low level
Made anyone who showed the slightest aptitude for cracking systems into system administrators and held them responsible if the network was compromised (resulting in a very low incident rate)
Insisted that there where only two rules to programming (and pretty much anything else):-
If you really don't know the answer to something then you should ask an expert
An expert is anyone who knows more about something than you do.
This would quite frequently be accompanied by the assigning the more competent members of the class to teaching / bug fixing coding for the rest of the class (you very quickly discover that there is a difference between being able to sort of hack something for yourself and understanding it well enough to be able to give a reasoned explanation to another student)
No idea if they do enforce it, but with their current rates, they are not going to be offering a particularly attractive deal for spammers when their profit margins are already dropping as time rolls on...
Not too aware of the opportuntities for hacking inside texmacs, but lyx has always had the option of using ERT (Evil Red Text) and drop raw latex into your lyx document if you should so desire, thereby not closing the door to continuing to use the tool for the 98% of the document that it handles fine...
If you want the power of Latex but don't want to have the hassle of learning to write raw Latex, then you could always go for a GUI wrapper around it. Lyx is probably the best for Latex (and I would hate to go and use anything else for generating large cross-referenced documents), but if you are also interested in generating TeX then TeXmacs may well fill the bill.
Ho hum. read the Acceptable Use Policy for HavenCo before you start pointing fingers...
"
Unacceptable use of the network includes, but is not limited to......Bulk or regular unsolicited communications through email or other Internet protocol. (commonly called "spam") Hosting web content which is knowingly advertised by spam is also prohibited. Mailing lists must comply with the MAPS Mailing List Management Guidelines; they must be opt-in, provide confirmation protection against accidental or malicious subscription, terms of use of address use must be fully disclosed, and unsubscription methods must be provided."
CVS or similar change control is your friend. This is a no-brainer for anything that is expected to scale up to any decent number of changes / forks / merges. What is less obvious is that tracking the changes will only really work on an ASCII file format (ever tried to merge two versions of a binary file?). This basically implies that if you are to use something like Word, then you will have to save all your files as RTF before performing your version control, however, the internal format of the RTF files output from Word is most definately non-obvious.
formatting of collaboratively authored documents can be a pain unless you are planning to have a final "formatting sweep" once the document has been validated from a content viewpoint. This will be made much more painless if you have some kind of MVC style seperation of content and presentation, and some kind of process in the tool / language used to prepare the work to enforce this seperation. There is a very big difference between a verbal agreement between authors as to how to behave and an enforced layout presentation layer. LaTEX is your friend...
LyX has had CVS integration for years. It also now has beta-functionality in CVS for a visual track-changes of the history of the LaTEX document. To quote from here (screenshot):-
...One feature that won't make it in 1.3.0 but is essentially complete is "change tracking", a result of work sponsored by Credativ GmbH. Using a new DVI-based package, LyX will automatically track any changes you make to a document, marking deleted text in red with strikeout, and added text in blue. Every change also is marked in the margin with a blue changebar, in both LyX itself, and in the DVI/PostScript output. This is an extremely important feature for people working in collaborative environments, as somebody receiving one of these tracked documents can work through it using LyX's "Merge changes" feature, accepting or rejecting each change individually. If you've ever used Microsoft Word's revision tracking feature, it's very similar to that...
I don't have my copy of Anti-Patterns with me, but quoting from memory, the Lava Flow anti-pattern states something along the lines of:-
The more legacy code in an application, the greater the chance that the people responsible for the code are no longer involved in the development of new code. This leads to an inability to change the legacy code, mainly based on fear of undocumented effects of the changes. As the amount of "untouchable" legacy code increases, the diffuculty in making new changes increases until the point when the Lava Flow cools sufficiently into an immovable solid mass that becomes basically unmodifiable without major low-level re-writes.
Slashdot Mirror
I think that what the OP meant was that there are plenty of WYSIWYM tools for LaTeX...

Squeezebox has wired and wireless ethernet and will also work as a bridge.

Not confirmed but maybe the Fortingall Yew may well be older. Well worth a visit as it is in a very beautiful part of the country...
Erm, No.The whole point of the story is that it is not the manufacturers choice but it is being imposed onto the manufacturer by the powers that be.
And I suppose that this means that the battery life on the European iPods is better than the American model then?

Why not use JMagick which is a JNI wrapper around some of the functionality of ImageMagick?
