And was free. (Now its about $1 per person, plus a couple mins on the phone to cancel the offer.)
And as far as telemarketing, you used your real phone number??
proof: Mine with a photo the day it arrived. (It was $20, but only because the GF wanted to try the blockbuster dvd thing for an extra month. If I'd cancelled instead, it would have cost $0 and 20 minutes of my time doing forms - skip the marketing survey btw - and getting referrals.)
Get a series 2 with HMO and it does all -sorts- of nice things. Combine it with JavaHMO and it does internet streaming music, local mp3 audio (including itunes integration), photos, etc. No video (AFAIK) but thats ok.
(And for those of you who already have S2 directivos, the 4.0.1b software now runs on your boxes. Google "4.x on RID" for details. Did the upgrade over the weekend, and its -nice-. Didn't even lose existing recordings.)
It's probably from a directivo. So its going to be identical to the stream DTV sent, which (for 99.9% of the users) is non-HD. (And comes up around 500M-1G per hour, depending on format/channel/etc.)
Gee, wonder where they got those features.. oh yeah. Tivo. (As part of it's desperate balancing act between content providers and home users, 30s skip is a "hidden feature".. hit select-play-select-3-0-select and the jump-forward button becomes 30s skip. The instant-replay button always works.)
As far as flowery stuff and commercials, no idea. My directivos (S1 and S2) never had anything like that. Closest it came was the S1 occasionally had "yellow star" ads as a main menu selection. (Just another menu entry, you had to work to view them.)
Weblogic has been supported on Linux for a couple of years now - BEA sent me a promo disc when it first came out (I was a Tuxedo consultant) but I haven't had time to evaluate it and compare Linux vs Solaris. /*He who controls Purple controls the Universe. *
How exaggerated is this? The same thing has been said every few years since the days of the 300 baud BBS, as I recall. That and the {modem|internet} tax keep coming back as rumours, then getting revealed as fake, only to return again later.
What I would recommend, and what seems to work best in most companies I've seen and/or worked for, is to make your project managers fulltime (preferably pre-existing) employees, and below that use consultants for any position you can't ENSURE you need at the end of the project. (IE JoeSoft administrator you might hire, but the JoeSoft developers you will have no need for - and you can always bring consultants back if it becomes necessary.)
The other thing I have noticed is, just like normal employees, consultants and contractors come in a variety of shapes, sizes and skills. I've seen quite a few (as developers) who couldn't program their way out of a 'while' loop, and others (doing code-monkey work) who were _writing_ languages in their spare time. But the advantage to consultants is you can let them go. Poof. Call the company (or the employee if its an independent) and tell them that the consultant doesn't match for x-and-x reasons, and you are envoking the trial period in the contract. (You -did- ask for a trial period in the contract, right?;)..)

There are lots of big ugly giants. M$ just happens to be the most blatant - if this was a small software company against M$ (AGAIN) it would probably just result in a small settlement, followed by M$ buying the company and firing them all off...
In this case its more likely that GT will have to pay realistic damages and the small company suing them will come out ahead of the game.
Doesn't Cserve own the GIF patent still? (And IIRC it could apply to any program that -views- GIF files, not just creating them. But they have failed to enfore for so long.... Maybe the same thing will happen to creation sometime soon.
Or maybe we should write a GD library replacement that uses JPG... /*He who controls Purple controls the Universe. *

Seriously though, it doesn't look all that bad. (Nor does it look all that hard to do, but still..)

Anyone out there have more information on this?

If he wants to give it away using a known-insecure method, than its just one more free music site as far as I'm concerned.

At ftp://ftp.stardivi sion.de/pub/staroffice/unxlxni/so51_lnx_01.tar you can get the english version. (Change 01 to 49 for Gernam, 33 for French, and 39 for Italian.)
Its loaded (took me about 5 mins to get in) but seems to be going pretty quick (20k/s to the East Coast USA)

The question I have is whether it supports glibc 2.1 or not. (For those of us using Debian unstable...)
:(
So far I don't see it listed on the stardivision.com pages

Here is a link to the Windows EXE. Or, for the full directory, go here.

Although how long that will last I can't say
