I swear if AMD were found to be sponsoring death squads and concentration camps some Slashdolts would find a way to rationalize it and say Intel is worse. What is with you people?
Why do you GNU zealots feel compelled to lie to push your agenda? Winamp is still free, only the "Pro" version with CD burning costs money. It's sad that the truth matters so little to you folks.
What the hell are you talking about? Every other response has given the guy good places to look for free software for Windows. It's still alive and well despite what retarded GNU zealots might think. Stop pushing your agenda and try actually answering a question helpfully for once.
Are there any USB capture devices at all that work with MythTV? I have a PC hooked up the TV/stereo for watching videos and listening to music, and if I could turn it into a PVR that would be fantastic, but it has no PCI slots (bummer). If anyone knows of a USB device that supports enough of the video4linux protocol to work with MythTV please tell me!
Grab yourself a copy of the 7135 SDK here and look through the docs. I would be surprised if what you are asking for is not possible.

What are you talking about? Nobody uses java for "internet downloadable applications", or even intranet downloadable ones. Their vision of thin-client computing was shown to be a pipe dream, to everyone except you anyway.
Free speech means freedom from prosecution by the government. It doesn't mean that the owner of a printing press has to print every last thing people bring in. Individual citizens are free to do what they like with their own property, including deciding not to use it for certain purposes.
These jokes about the size of emacs might have been funny or relevant 15 years ago when 32MB hard drives where the norm, but really, emacs is drawfed by just about every other application I use these days.
The point is that I can buy a PC from many different vendors, and my software will work on any of them. OS X software only works on Apples, period. Really, this is pretty elementary, I'm starting to suspect you Mac fans are just being purposely obtuse because you know you can't win the argument.
Well, here you go. I actually own several pieces of Mac OS X software, from when I had my iBook. I wanted a faster machine and decided that Apple's offerings didn't give me enough bang/buck, so I bought an Acer. Had I started with a low-end PC laptop instead of the iBook, all of the software I bought would still work on the new machine, but because I started with an Apple I had to repurchase Quicken, Office, etc. to work with the new machine. See what I mean about lock-in? Once you have an investment in stuff that only works with Apple, it gets expensive to switch to another hardware vendor. If you stick with PCs you can buy your next computer from many places and your software investments are preserved.
Your sophistry about "open processor platforms" and whatnot is just mere words. The fact is, OS X runs only on Apple hardware, and software for OS X runs only on Apple's OS running on Apple's hardware. How much more locked-in can you get?
Man, nobody can combine towering arrogance with whining, self-pitying ineffectuality like Slashdot nerds, I'll give you that. You'd think the two would be contradictory, but you guys manage to pull it off somehow. Why such geniuses cannot find better ways to solve their problems than sitting at home begging for sympathy from strangers, I have no idea...
I have one like that, a Motorola SK-7100. The cool thing about IR keyboards over radio ones is that my Sony RM-VL900 remote can learn the keystrokes, so I can use it to control the PC too.

You want the dbPowerAmp Music Convertor found here.
And the Suzuki Forenza gives me the feeling of watching Jack Klugman perform an autopsy on Quincy, M.E. Amazing what's in a name...

This is my pet lama. Isn't he adorable?
Well, I guess you put me in my place... I never knew until now that Matlab and rendering used only integer math and ignored the floating-point units.
Please attempt to explain to us PC lusers why 64-bit processors are faster at rendering or Matlab than 32-bit ones. I could use a good laugh today.
Judging by the way your posts wrap at 40 columns, I'm guessing you're still pissed about them dropping Commodore 64 coverage.

90% play video games 3-4 hours a day? That is ridiculous. Don't you have any classes or homework?
How did I "back away from my words" when I didn't even make the original post? Quit putting words in my mouth and learn to read.

This article does indeed raise many questions, the most important of which is "What the hell is a 'Utahn'?"
Be careful with that joke, it's an antique!
