duh. get a real computer and use a KVM extender. also, doesn't look like they even had ardour on there. how can anyone expect to do recording with that puny amount of storage and no ardour?
From visiting their web page, it doesn't look much like it is a serious project. It's hosted on geocities.jp for crying out loud! The only information on their page is this extremely descriptive bit: "Tuning was improved in all bit rate regions."
This is just in time for me! I'm planning on buying an ibook sometime this week, and now I'm going to be able to connect to the exchange server at work with it! Yay for Ximian!
Here's some ideas for using flash players (IMHO, the best way to go)
- get one that can have one of those headphone cable remotes and you wouldn't even have to hack up the player to connect a play button
- either get one with a DC input, your wire a supply to the batter compartment.
- don't use headphones (if at all possible). You will definately have them breaking on you.
- make sure everything is mounted securely. you'd be surprised at how easily things can get shaken loose. use loc-tight and lock washers on all screws.
- arcade buttons are best. they are designed for this kind of abuse
- if you need to prevent hitting the button while it is playing (to prevent pausing) and you know a thing or two about circuits, make a simple silence detector. audio->comparator->retriggerable timer->opto isolator. put the opto isolator output in series with the button.
Wait a second, you say they are cheap from radio shack? Since when are electronic components ever cheap at radioshack? I've seen components cost over 10 times as much at radioshack as compared to a local electronics store.
I had this when I was living in rural Saskatchewan. Dial-up was the only thing available, and naturally I ordered the "unlimited" plan. They gave something like 200 hours. I just ended up calling them every 200 hours and bugging them until they gave me more time. It was really a pain, I don't know why they didn't just put a full month's worth on my account each month and be done with it.
1. Package management This is the essence of a distro. Binary, source; deb, rpm, ports, ebuilds, tar.gz; dependancy handling...
2. Config handling Possibly related to package management. How are config files updated? Does the distro provide tools that do this "automagically", or does it leave it up to the user? Does it try to hide config files from the user? Does it use revision control?
3. Init and other scripts What kind of init scripts are there? What other utility/configuration/whatever scripts are there?
4. Package availability Are there a lot of packages available? Are packages easy to create yourself?
5. Community and support Are there active forums, chats, etc? Is pay support available?
If you don't like the way Gimp is, but you don't want to pay for Photoshop; help out the gimp project. Simply say "the UI sucks", "it's slow", etc does absolutely nothing to help the situation. If it bothers you so much, write a patch, make a plan for a new UI layout, talk with the developers, submit a bug report, make a feature request, do something productive!
It might be possible to push it further, but you will run into bandwidth limitations of the telco circuit. It would be highly unreliable. And if you have your own direct copper connection, you might as well use a DSL modem.
The average percentage of spam here over the past 24 hours was 99.83%. That's an average of 92.65 spams every 5 minutes and 0.16 non-spam messages every five minutes. Internal mail is not included.
And I don't want one. 99% of the stuff on TV is garbage anyway. I used to watch a lot of TV. I would encourage everyone to shut it off. You won't miss it a bit. You'll have way more time for important things. At least cancel your cable and use it only for movies. Since ditching TV, I have even gotten a GIRLFRIEND! Yes, it can happen to slashdotters! So just ask yourself, would you rather be watching TV or going rollerblading by the ocean with a cute girl?
How would the authors of the code be "lucky" to have some infringe on their copyright? If someone makes an AP that uses their code and they don't GPL their modifications, the authors lose:
- benefit of the modifications made - credit for their hard work - money (if the company is willing to pay for a non GPL'd version)
What exactly would they gain? (Other than if they win a court case, of course) I can't think of anything.

don't be fooled... xterm is a modern terminal. It supports many things most other terminals do not. Ever try looking at the xterm man page?
My point being....where do you draw the line?

Uhhh, giving out header files doesn't make something open source. All the header files give you is the API.
Excuse me? What does AbiWord depend on that is proprietary closed source?
what about a web server connected the internet and listening on port 80. Is connecting to that viewed as trespassing?

Or you could just use Kudzu
Anyone know how well Theora does/will work with high-def content? It would be interesting to see a comparisson of these 2 codecs at various bitrates.

You have a pentium 2 AND a 486 laptop? wow. I only have a 486 server.
If anyone has a copy, post it up on freenet. This is just the kind of thing that freenet is good for.
