DirecTV HD TiVos come with a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) connector with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). A cable is included for TVs with HDCP-compliant DVI inputs. Regular DVI inputs could potentially get a downrezzed or blank picture depending on content providers.
Exactly what's the limit on a FreeS/WAN box acting as an IPSec VPN concentrator? Anything? Other than system resources?
128bit encryption end to end. I'm suprised this isn't being done already. Granted, no HTTP Leeching or anonymous ftp (perhaps pre-shared keys?) until you're on the private network...
So out of the goodness of their little hearts the RIAA is sponsoring this restoration, or are they going through and copyrighting all of this material?
So Microsoft has enough cash to subvert any governing body it pleases, or any company that dare challenges it.
Frightening to say, but this isn't exactly news.
The interesting part is that it isn't a government or some major corporate conglomerate that has Microsoft quietly (or not so quietly) quaking in it's collective boots.
They're scared by, and largely for the same reasons as, the (MP|RI)AA is scared of P2P networks.
How can you stop or strike down something that is largely unaffected by large wads of cash?
Between sniffing different, strong scents (geeks, think about it), coffee beans are perfect for clearing you sense of smell.
That being said. Ethereal.:P
Anyway, try it sometime. Works well. Lots of people who sell the better kinds of incense will keep (good) coffee beans around for precisely this purpose.
Where are you getting "for many it has more features than the original firmware" from?
Seems to me everything is very basic, unless you count the ability to browse by file a new feature, but the datbase accessibility of the original firmware is conspicuously missing.
Still...I like it. The iPod has a usb bus. A firewire bus. Throughput is an issue, but I imagine some hotplug devices will get support.;) How's about automount picking up on another iPod plugged into the firewire bus and mounting it fat32, access it's database, copy the files over and naming them logically based on either id3 tags or on the database, and then update the localhost database? >:)
Well then, you're obviously not trying hard enough! Here, let me help you with that...
Mrs. Mateito, your Gawdfather is heah! Cuz I be pimpin' hos, coast to coast, and you're my latest piecea meat! Your daddy needs to pay for his latest copya Winderz, so you can't be late to work. Don't keep the good man waitin' dear.
Note: For the humor impaired, the above is a joke. My apologies to Mr. Mateito for humor on his account.
'I want to make sure (a user) can't get through... an online experience without hitting a Microsoft ad.'
I figured that the submitter hacked part of that quote out of the middle, only to find out the original article had it posted that way too!
And the pictures! I usually don't think of Steve Ballmer as evil (just the company he works for), but those pictures make him almost look menacing and demonic.
"Mwa ha ha ha...all your base are belong to us! Now give me your money, and here's your yearly upgrade of office. When's your first born due?"
I found that out when I started work at a new company with my PowerBook. Connect to the Exchange via IMAP4 for mail, point the address book at the exchange server via LDAP. iCal wasn't around then, but using that along with groupcal would allow you to do your calendaring, and all without using a single 'authorized' MS client.
On windows...dunno, perhaps there something similar to the groupcal/ical combo to get your calendaring done without Outlook, but I'm not aware of one offhand.

BTW, I own an HDTV that I specifically made sure had none of this BS on board. Same goes for my HD Direc TV receiver.
The fact that this is being supported now sickens me.
Regular DVI inputs could potentially get a downrezzed or blank picture depending on content providers.
THAT had best be FUD, otherwise I would be seriously PO'D. I don't pay for 'content protection'.

Have TNG, DS9, and Voyager casts on hand, tell a story about the Borg finally getting fed up and invading federation space wholesale.

Sour the milk?

Poison the wine? (No, not that WINE)
Finely ground glass in the mashed potatoes?
With the candlestick, in the starewell, with Mr. Green?
Spank the monkey?

Erm...wait a tick.
Just wondering. :)

Personally, I like my cultures to be active. Mmmmm Blue Bunny yogurt.
Except that it's on by default. :)

Use thunderbird, connect to exchange via IMAP4, use the web interface for calendaring.
Get it right. His name isn't Optimus Prime, Convoy.
Aw geez mods. Get a sense of humor will ya? Don't you even know a troll from a joke when you see one?
Figures. People have no sense of humor these days.
That was NOT a troll dagnabit. Whipper-snappers.
I have no idea about the topic, didn't read the article either. However, I have good news.
I just saved a buttload of money on my car insurance.
G'day!
So I can go sue Gillette for price fixing on razor blade refills?
Or the printer manufacturers for price fixing on toner cartriges?
You see what I'm getting at? When is it illegal?
I don't like paying high prices any more than anyone else, however I have to wonder...
Let's say I have a monopoly on widgets, or myself and my compeptitors agree to keep the price of widgets artificially high.
At what point are we no longer allowed to sell our widgets at whatever price we see fit? When do we cross over into breaking the law for price fixing?
You mean those SERIAL CONSOLES?
:P
The types that plug into SERIAL PORTS? On UNIX SERVERS?
Got it.
