I hope they fix the bug where creating an MP3-CD to listen to in the car from an album I bought in iTunes in M4A format is a two-step process... I filed a report a couple years ago on it. It is silly that I have to convert the M4A's to MP3's first, then add only the duplicated MP3's to a playlist, burn that playlist, then delete the playlist and only the MP3 versions of the songs from my library. I've had an instance where I accidentally deleted a purchased track thinking it was an MP3 that I was cleaning up.
Thanks for all the helpful comments (even you, "let me google that for you" guy)!
We have a requirement that all board meetings have to be recorded for two reasons -- one, so the minutes can be derived from the recording, and two, open records requests by the public to hear the meeting audio. Recordings have to be kept for a certain period, and I was hoping to automate the boxes and boxes of old tapes we have sitting around (by keeping X previous recordings and dropping the oldest ones automatically when their expiration date comes).
Before "let me google that for you" guy Googled it for me I read an article on doing this with Pulseaudio, but I am more in the market for a commercial solution for capturing and streaming the audio. It has to work every time without technical assistance, and while there are some areas where I am comfortable rolling my own solution, this is not one of them. Now, for the receiving piece running on a server in the datacenter I am open to a more customized solution.
I found a product from Barix called the Exstreamer 500 for about $600 at Pro Audio Gear. Does anyone have any experience with Barix devices? It appears that it can either stream the audio over a built-in Shoutcast server or record directly to a USB key. If streaming over a private VLAN to a non-internet-connected server is deemed too risky by mgmt, then at the very least the recordings could be uploaded from the USB key (maybe along with the manual transcription and/or minutes) after the meeting.
Thanks again for all your suggestions! I knew someone out there had to have done this before me.
How does Thunderbird 5 handle full Exchange connectivity (including Calendaring, Contacts, Tasks, etc)? That is my main reason for sticking with Evolution.
You're living at home, minding your own business and playing lots of computer games - then you go and solve some really hard math puzzle. Next thing you know, you're billions of light years from earth on a broken down starship, with no way to get home and lots of people trying to kill you! It's not worth it...
And then two seasons in you get stranded out there FOREVER!

Anyone know if this applies to the Soundbridge, too? I have an M2000 that I have to keep at an older firmware level because the 2.7 and newer will not play certain M4A files. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to which ones it will play and which ones it won't, but Roku never responded to my support inquiry on the subject. A fellow from the UK told me on the forum that it was a common problem, but nothing that Roku was interested in helping solve.
It wouldn't be so annoying except that it asks me every time I turn it on if I want to upgrade to the latest firmware. An open source solution to run on my Soundbridge would be great (if for nothing else than to disable the firmware update notification).
I just bought a Sapphire HD4850 card... would it benefit me to purchase one of the new PCI-E PhysX cards, or hold off until AMD/ATI gets it working on their chips? I read an article here that said made future PhysX support sound promising, but does anyone have any more information on exactly when or if this will be available?
So how on earth does one come up with the trig functions necessary to do these transformations by hand without a modeller? Look at the complexity of the winner.
I am not artistic by any stretch of the imagination, but I do enjoy math and programming and downloaded POV-Ray and the related documentation hoping to learn more about art through programming. So far, I made a sphere on a checkered floor, and POV-Ray handled all of the trig for me there.
Any tutorials out there on mathematic transformations and how they apply to a 3d rendering?
Does it still record a hidden history of every page you have ever been to that remains even after clearing the cache and history?
I saw in the ZDNet review that they had a one-click option to clear the history, cookies, authentication data, etc, but I didn't see anything to indicate a change in this behavior.
The conference call was supposed to start 25 minutes ago, but all I have been getting on the webcast is "this stream is not available." Is anyone else having trouble? Has the call been cancelled?
Why not setup an internal IRC server with all conversations logged and filed away? File them away as text files, and you could probably come up with some sort of web search through old conversations. If you got fancy enough with the permissions, you could even limit access to the files to only those who participated in the conversation.
These folks make exactly what you are looking for... NewQ 3379. It can be powered by an external power supply or the internal power supply of the computer.
Along this line of thought, is there a product out there that is a full network simulator? Meaning, can I put routers A, B, and C in my diagram, with A linked to B, and A linked to C. Router A runs BGP between these two connections. Is there software out there to where I could put a simulated load on the router, then virtually "cut" one of the links to see what would happen and how it would affect the other link? What if one of the links' latency spiked? Using BGP with two links is a pretty easy example, but you get the idea. It would be a great teaching tool, as well.
Ideally, Cisco would make a tool like this, so you could tweak the virtual BGP (or MLPPP, OSPF, RIP, STP, etc) configs on the routers, but I haven't seen one on their site.
... and just ban all HTML email. Bouncing it with a notice that says "Hey, I don't accept HTML email because of all the viruses and SPAM that spread that way... write me back again in Text." You could also put instructions for Outlook Express and other major email programs on how to switch it over.
Not sure how it is in other states, but on KY's state tax form, there is a question to the effect of, "What is the dollar amount of items purchased online where you didn't pay tax?".
The state then wants to claim the 6% state sales tax. I believe it also even applies to instances where you paid a lesser sales tax, for example, if I went to another state and paid 4%... KY would want the other 2%.
From http://www.google.com/help/features.html: "The "Cached" link will be missing for sites that have not been indexed, as well as for sites whose owners have requested we not cache their content."
Also, putting headers on your page like these might work, too:
Don't buy that one! I'll sell you an IP that you can use to access your machine FROM ANYWHERE, and even with or without a network cable attached!!

I use an old laptop booting off a DOS disk with BananaCom on it as a dedicated console for our core router.
Why not let Microsoft test it and release it? They already push Windows Updates out on a regular basis, why not a targetted de-worming?

.mil or .gov sites, just in case.
Also, putting headers on your page like these might work, too:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="0">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Cache-Control" CONTENT="no-cache">
But probably the best way would be to just not cache
