Uhm, capturing the video stream would be trivial in this situation. Aside from making "perfect" DVD-R copies with DVDshrink (which is done very rarely anyway), copying would not suffer much. Capture the stream to huffy (this would have to be done in real time, which is the only problem) using Premiere/iuVCR/any DV camcorder software, then encode to DivX using your tool of choice. Not that much harder than ripping the dvd then doing all the usual.
Just imagine an angry sysadmin chasing down an unforunate warwalker with full intention of beating the crap out of him with a high-gain yagi antenna.
Bicycle + iBook + Airport + Darkstar-equipped network = hours of fun:) Hell, might be even more fun to hide single-board systems around hotspots and trigger them randomly, driving the admin mad.
(yes, I know it's only short-range as of now, and that anyone advanced enough to install one of these would probably have a network reasonably protected against warwalkers, but consider the possibilities!)
Huh? The poster clearly asked for cross-platform solutions, with a heavy emphasis on linux. As far as I know, ATI does not provide a version of their software suite for linux.
Hauppauge cards are supported by a variety of linux PVR software, as well as various commerical programs under windows. Microsoft Media Center???
Further, most modern external PVRs use a firewire interface, and not USB or serial (yes, I am aware that technically many standards fall under 'serial', but I think it's reasonable to assume that parent meant good old RS232 COM ports. Why would anyone use that for video transfer is beyond me).
Uhm, what? DivX is a derivative of MPEG4, not just a tool for producing open standard-compliant files - as a text editor would be in your case - as you can see on DivX networks' page.

Perhaps I should inform the kind poster that *Linux* games are in question. While fuhquake does appear to have a linux port, I'm not aware of any hardware acceleration sliders in X (unless they've been introduced somehow in recent commerical distros), and esreality.com appears to be windows-centric at first glance.
Here's a link with some details. Apparently it's a direct hypertransport tap between the CPUs. Interesting, I was thinking of something like this when I first heard about AMD64 using hypertransport.
BTW, on a lark, I posed as an older female one time to chat with my son and one of his friends. It was enlightening (to say the least) some of the language I saw. I offered to "teach them a lesson. They eagerly agreed. My lesson?
"Never...

chat the way you have here, unless you are certain you know who you're talking to. This is your dad. Go to bed."
These types of posts always baffle me. My first reaction to an unknown individual attempting to IM me is, and always has been "Who the hell are you?" followed by a block/kick from the channel/squelch/being added to killfile if they fail to verify their identity. Any sexual motives without an established idenitity of someone I know (very well) get a "Smeg off!" and a block right away (well, ok, any sexual motives period, seeing how I'm here on slashdot).
No one had to tell me to do this. It's just logic. Not being stupid, as it were.
I disagree with this--it's more like having the phone company send you a full list of all calls made from your number in a given month. A closer analogy to what you suggest would be keystroke logging software, VNC, etc, which I wouldn't suggest at this point, unless things are REALLY bad.
I assumed that you suggested looking through the proxy cache at the end of the month, like some other posts mentioning squid had suggested. Nevertheless, the phone call list anology is not entirely accurate, either, since a URL inherently carries more information than a phone number (consider "http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/opiates/opiates.s html" versus "212-555-8942"). The internet is also a far more diverse medium than the phone network; your analogy would have to include a listing of every book, magazine and pamphlet your child reads. Actually, make that every chapter, article and paragraph; due to the request-response nature of the internet, if a page is in the logs, it is reasonable to assume that the user has read (or at least expressed interest in) it -- which is far more than one could say about the contents of a magazine, for example. This, in my opinion, is overly intrusive.
Additionally, his kids have shown by their actions that they are untrustworthy in this matter. Suggesting your kids will not trust you because you will not allow them to abuse your trust seems like a dodge. You can't always be your child's friend, sometimes you have to step up and be the parent.
This particular situation isn't very clear, but a desire of privacy on the net is only rational. I know of several cases where a person does not wish the parents to know the url of his or her blog (you must admit, a parent logging urls would not hesitate to read through it), for instance. Collapsing my work whenever someone walks by is only natural for me, and many others I know, because we are (or I am, at least) embarassed of our spaghetti code and poor writing. Perhaps it is a general teenage paranoia, but being uncomfortable about one's surfing, even if it's perfectly legitimate, seems fairly normal to me.
And with regard to blocking ssh access, I am 16, and I use ssh very heavily for coding on school computers for my systems class, monitoring school network integrity, get mail, do remote backups, even chat with friends (using ssh and write), and so forth. Blocking it at the firewall is really not such a great idea IMO.
1) ssh quux@any_freely_availible_shell -L 1337:some_open_proxy:3128 (you can do the same with puTTY under windows, I believe) 2) Set browser's proxy to localhost:1337 3) Profit!
Or just use a proxy with ssl support, like megaproxy. Anyone geeky enough to spend multiple hours a day browsing for entertainment will probably be savvy enough to bypass it once they know it's there. Installing it without their consent is even worse; your kid will NEVER trust you again if you do that. It's akin to putting a camera in his room, or listening in on his phone conversations.
NeXT used display postscript (DPS) as well, with the benefits you describe, plus the ability to export the display remotely similar to X windows. OSX uses quartz, which utilizes Display PDF, which is somewhat similar.
The Ministry Of Communications will promote Linux.
Yesterday, the Ministry of communications and information of Russian Federation and IBM corporation have signed an agreement about the creation of a Linux competency center in Moscow. Among its tasks will be not only support of governmental institutions in using Linux, but also testing and porting of applications based on open source. Up to 60 people (including foreign specialists from IBM) will be employed at the center, which will open in 2004.
(snipplets follow, translating the whole thing will take too long):
-The center will be located on the territory of a university, and students will also take part in its work.
-The federal government already has limited experience in using IBM technologies
-"Our task now becomes usage of open source programs in making current and future systems in the government work as a whole" (A. Korotkov)
-Experience shows that, in other governments, open source software may constitute 30% of [all software]. Our country is far behind that, and it's unlikely that usage of standard software, such that [software products by] Microsoft, can be left behind completely due to the aggressive promotion by the manufacturers.
-"Open source programs aren't completely free, and I cannot say how much we will have to pay for the center"
-The resources... will include Intel-architecture IBM eServer xSeries, high-performance Linux clusters, data storage systems. Use of the full specter of IBM software for linux, including WebSphere, DB2, Lotus, Tivoli and Rational, is expected.
-The first meeting [between the sides] occured back in september 2002.
-Once the center [is fully operational, tested, etc], similar centers may be deployed in other cities.
-"This will save tremendous amounts of money for the budget, and this is just the beginning" (minister of communications)
Pardon any awkwardness in the language, it's hard to translate on the fly.
For those confused about the purpose of scoll lock: It was used (and is still used) for, surprisingly enough, preventing a terminal screen from scrolling, and to switch the way in which cursor keys worked.
For instance, try hitting scroll lock on a BSD-based system; the output of text to the terminal will stop, and you can scroll through the history using pgup/pgdown and the cursor.
A pipe that moves heat to an external heatspreader (as opposed to the heatsinks with integrated heatpipes, like the Thermalright SP-94 Heatpipe) will certainly be more efficient, but you are going to have to convince OEMs to include these, and case manufacturers to provide the appropriate mount points/space in their products.
Furthermore, I'd like to ask how you got a 40C difference across the heatpipe; what do you use for the condensator?

An "extreme geek" would use a model M or an OmniKey- which use PS/2, which falls under the "legacy" category ;-)

Subliminal advertising has never been shown to work. See here.
This agreement is just as binding as shrinkwrap licenses, or the Verisign SiteFinder EULA.
The page linked above may seem silly, but a sufficient number of them posted across respected domains may throw a curveball into any EULA case.

I believe parent is correct. I remember seeing a semi-official account of these actually being "EMP" machineguns.
This is what parent is referring to.
