Mythtv runs on linux. It is licensed under the GPL.
http://www.mythtv.org/
The interface makes Tivo look like a weak sister in most areas, and has FAR more capabilities.
On well tested hardware and using well tested distributions, it can be set up in less than an hour, including Dling the software and deps/updates. YMMV, severely on poor hardware. (via KT333/400) There are numerous well written how-tos, and one of the better mailing lists you will ever see.
Sound setup under Linux is typically the headache, as you can imagine.
There is a Knoppix based CD version, knoppmyth, but R4 is bit dated. It CAN be installed and VERY carefully upgraded, as mythtv is available for Debian.
One good, well suported setup---NF2 MB, Athlon XP, OSS audio, GF4 MX400, and FC1. (There are folks using it all dists tho)
I personally found Mandrake Cooker to be just as easy, easier in fact as it is "current" to the point of bleeding continuously, as my "backend" is my "workstation", and that's my comfortable distro of choice. Again, YMMV.
My new frontend is an Xbox, and it works beautifully, excellent TV out, DVD remote works perfectly, fully mapped to run Mythtv properly.
It runs Debian, xbox-mythtv, a tweaked version of Xebian.
Scaled Composites succeeds, refuels, and turns it in 24 hours. Or perhaps even same day...
I got $50 on Burt Rutan... As much as I respect Carmacks group, Rutan is the Man with his own private Skunkworks for decades, and does a lot of work for... Uh... Large Governments, with lots of guns.
Either select "Configure Your Computer" from the menus, or in a shell run "drakx".
Adding,deleteing, listing file contents and locations of packages can all be done graphically using the "Manage Software" tools. Mandrake DOES get it right, and the command line tools are actually there, but but optional.
I tried MDK10-community, but contribs are not there yet, and I'm running some bleeding edge versions of sofware, needed current dev libraries (avidemux2-2.0.22 with mpegPS export, reads MythTV nuvs, etc)
I just used easy urpmi, changed the media, deselected the CDS and did a urpmi --auto --select and all my dependency woes disapeared, as I'm resync'd & running cooker again.
Short starand fiberglass reinforced concrete is sprayed about 1 inch (25mm) thick on stacked block in some areas of the US, as the foundation (inside and outside)ie basement walls.
It contains adhesive binding agents for the fg, makes it waterproof and VERY strong/crack resistant.
The resulting wall is waterproof, and far stronger and crack resistant vs stacked block and mortar, and rivals poured concrete for strength, with better thermal performance.
This stuff is _made_ for this process... A house MADE of that material would be practically bomb proof.
It is currently also extruded into curbs and ornamental shapes by several companies Ive seen advertizing locally, in a micro version of what the article suggests. (on site)
A few years back, a very bright fellow made a very effective pump with NO moving parts, it just used sound and a chamber of a very specific shape, like a bomb IIRC.
To me, that would be an obvious next step to get this form of fusion working, as it sets up a tuned, very tight focus of the sound energy in a standing wave, or at least in repeated pulses.
That half baked idea bequeathed to the people of earth if it pans out. (GPL2)
My point, I guess, is basically a quote from a Great Russian, General Zukoff IIRC(sp?) and I will badly paraphrase it I'm sure, as the beer is good: (Trying to provide attribution, please excuse)
"The enemy of better is good enough."
The current format works well.
Everyone and their dog has MP3s, and the dog probably has a device that can play them.
Anything that kills compatibility and the ability to move files, or god forbid, SHARE files, will sell like dog shit on a bun.
The A10 was one of the ORIGINAL stealth designs, presicely configured against *exactly* the threat you describe, shoulder launch SAMS.
Ultra-high bypass engines--- Really almost jet powered ducted fans---exhaust over the tail.
The same cowling shields against IR from the side. The engine core is in 3/4" thick armor.
You have to be almost directly behind AND above an A10 to get a good IR sig... Not likely if you are on the ground.
It is also one of the few conceivable designs that can probably _take_ a direct hit BY such a weapon, and still get home. It was designed to take direct hits from 23mm Soviet AA guns... Not recommended in an F/A16, or much else for that matter, short of an M1.
The A10 is also an absolute maintenance dream, with minor exceptions, and likely takes less manpower/hr than anything in the USAF inventory.
Unless the A35 works a WHOLE LOT like an A10 in real use, it is destined to go the way of the Comanche.
I suggest doing with the A10s something like what the Germans did with their F4s---remanufacture them to current specs, current avionics... take the 100s of "retired" airframes out in the desert and remanufacture them, better,stronger, faster etc.

Brine on Mars?

· Score: 1
Considering things live in the highly concentrated brines here on earth and nearly boiling temps, not to mention antartica and the seabed trenches in volcanic ducts it's jut a matter of time.
To my untrained eye, any prescence of liquid water (damp dirt counts) means we will very likely eventually turn up some form of life on mars, alive, not as a fossil.

Don't we feel proud?
This used to be a civil matter, but I guess if you bribe enough politicians, anything is possible.
Throw 'em all out next election.
Too bad Kerry sucks...
It was called the Volkswagen Beetle;-)
I hear it was quite popular in some circles.
Pretty much everything you can imagine has been, and is still being done to Bugs.
Just because activity is centered there dos NOT infer it is all stored there.
It is possible it works more like a north/south bridge, like a router to memory distributed elsewhere.
The activity would be centered there by definiion.
I know this is pedantic, the parent post was +5 hilarious, but this took me a while to figure out via googling.
,(then copy/otherwise set up your .config) then "make prepare && make modules && make modules_install && make install"
make mrproper
Please notice "make prepare".
This is essential, kernel will build but not boot if that is skipped.
Found this out on Debian and Mandrake, building custom config kernels from fresh distro provided source.

oops... urpmi --auto --auto-select
I've been running sync'd with cooker for several months now, and it seems far more stable vs running sync'd with debian unstable.
Actually, it has been rock stable, surprisingly, considering it's about as bleeding edge as it gets.
Either select "Configure Your Computer" from the menus, or in a shell run "drakx".

Microtek USED to be one of the BEST at releasing docs for their scanners...
Either Microtek has changed it's policies 180 degrees, or their is something else going on.
Perhaps it's a relabeled Canon? They have always refused to release ANY info for their scanners.
(Conjecture)
;-) Great comeback.
Posting of the text of a slashdotted article anonomously is NOT trolling.
If done under your username, it is Karma Whoring, so you get mod moints.
In this case, it may be redundant, as it is seen elsewhere above. If it is posted LATER, it is redundant.
Sometimes things get posted anon and are not seen, moderators should always browse at -1.

Seriously.
Give them a home dir on the harddrive, and be done with it. IIRC Knoppix will auto detect it, or can be made to do so.
PCLinuxOS has this functionality, possibly Mandrakemove, but Knoppix hardware detection seems better, probably not an issue in this app.
Mardrakes gui tools are very good...
From the command line they rock.
Aptitude (or apt-get from the command line) is probably even better, but I use Mandrake.
IIRC Fedora uses apt (or a flavor of apt optionally) with rpms, so aptitude worked there when I tried it.
Package management under Linux make Windows look worthless and weak.
K3B does, although it may expect the file suffix to be .wav.
It has been a while since I tried, but it worked fine >6 months ago. (many revs)
Just "create audio cd project" and drag/drop your files. Works the same for MP3s.
When K3B starts, or on setup/programs, it will tell you you don't have mp3lame or such installed.
Same for the svcd tools etc.
K3B does not contain all the the tools to do it's "thing" in a monolithic way--- It leverages existing programs that work well, in the unix tradition.
To rip DVDs, one needs mplayer/mencoder or transcode and the codecs... 1.x will burn data dvds out of the box.
K3B was "almost there" until 1.0. Recent versions absolutely rock, as long as you have the toolkit it hooks to installed.
Just install Mandrake, add the plf to your source list, and automatically have the deps pulled down.
(or atrpms, or various Debian sources, depending on your favorite distro)
Oh well...

That way folks could safely go grab the Windows updates;-)
The weird thing? It would work;-)
I'll have to remeber to suggest it in future...
Ask any US pilot.
Remember that terrible accident about ten-15 years ago at a airshow, where the plane ended up in the crowd?
The pilot lost it (Su27??), and ejected at about 100 feet, in a dive, inverted.
He walked away without a scratch.
The USAF/whoever makes ejection seats for the USAF anyway) had a licence to that seat system design probably within HOURS.
IIRC, all US aircraft have them now.

Everyones's already pissed at them, and now there are several apparently viable competitors, a concept likely foreign to them.
The same things the exile your strongest developers created this lisence issue, and will eventually kill XFree86 as a viable entity.
