Stop buying CDs? And what? Buy only downloaded compressed formats? Whatever. Obviously you don't own a Squeezebox or nice hifi system. Maybe you listen to all your music through some crappy headphones that came with a portable music player. Maybe if they find a way to do DAE off Vinyl I'll switch to that. (no, not the scanner hoax posted on Slashdot before). I want the freedom to choose the format my music is compressed in if it is compressed at all.
And get a Wii you should. As an owner I can tell you it is a lot of fun if you seek a different style of gameplay that sitting on your a55 all the time. I only have Rayman Raving Rabbits and Wii Sports right now but both have been and still are very fun. Finally killed my first set of batteries in a Wii-mote too. Time to break out the rechargeables.
Hmm.. in addition to the above post I'll have to find a way to test this theory as my AP is in my garage about 20 feet from the problem light. So much for hiding the SSID (bad joke).
That's a proper geek response. Well said. Thanks for the information as I have the same problem. Seems no matter how much I adjust sensitivity or where I aim the sensor some nights it just wants to come on repeatedly.
Slimserver is in PERL. Go download it. You can run the server software and use "Softsqueeze" as a client to get the hang of things. One thing for sure, the software player doesn't come close to the performance and cool factor of the hardware. As for the Squeezebox, it's a network device. No drivers needed.
Don't plan on it. SlimDevices is in the audio market. They care about what and how you listen to your music. Troll the forums for video and you'll find very little. Video requires a dedicated screen of some sort wether built in or via a TV. The devices themselves don't have the horsepower for decoding video. The Squeezebox is to remain a seperate product for the time being.
Prices drops are what many users are hoping for. At least for the Squeezebox. Probably not for the Transporter in the forseeable future.
You're very right. The original version was a rather crude product but it worked. The SB3 (same hardware as the SB2) is a much more refined product. Nothing else on the market comes close to it's performance. Sonos is cool but isn't as fast and responsive as the SB. Also, Slimdevices is a much more open community with an extensive set of plugins for obtaining information on the VFD. Personally, I only use the Alarm Clock and Weather plugins. With Logitech's acquisition there is hope of bringing the price down to a $199 point to make it more affordable. If you hit the forums you'll notice the "Logitech buys Slimdevices" thread quite lively with an actual Logitech VIP chiming in with answers to questions.
g4u = ghost for unix. Amanda, Mondo, Bacula, rsync, plenty of options. Seems a rather silly question to me. There's this place associated with Slashdot called SOURCEFORGE which is just great for looking up stuff. Of course searching for 'backup' only give 567 options.
Well, Intel will have them ready for general consumers about the time Vista is released. It'll take two for the OS, one for the AV/malware apps, then you get one for whatever programs you want to run. Notice how 1GB of RAM is becoming more common in mid-range systems? You'll want it as a minimum for Vista. These days I only keep 512 and 1GB stick of RAM in stock. Now if those 2GB prices would hurry up and drop....
Azureus runs just fine. Opera has it's own built in client. There's a few command line clients. As stated, Gnome has one. So, find one and start seeding! My download rate is climbing ever so slowly. Thanks!
Because you're a n00b. Original post stated doing an upgrade which means dropping a new board in and hoping Windows boots or doing a repair on the new hardware so you don't have to do a clean install. Once the OS is loaded it whines about massive earth shattering hardware changes requiring you to activate RIGHT NOW!! so the world doesn't end. Sometimes you get 3 days. Well, if you can't log into Windows to install drivers to try and activate online you have to call one of the ever friendly barely speaking engrish folks over in India with a shaft job reading numbers all day and having to put with me when I call on an almost daily basis (I'm a computer shop technician). Then, one you're activated and get your base drivers installed, make a few changes, and BAM! call Microsoft again because you keep screwing up your computer.
Just an FYI, listen to the stupid recording, when it asks if you're calling to activate just press "0" to get transfered faster.
What drivers do you need? Really? I'm running an Intel D975XBX, Core2Duo E6400, 2GB DDR2, and a Geforce 7900GT. Guess what? It all works!! As a matter of fact, it flies! It's running Archlinux and I'm quite happy with it so far (trying not to go back to Gentoo).
The onboard high-def sounds is respectable, the Gigabit ethernet is Intel so of course it works, the 250GB SATA II drive is flawless, and my DVDRW works just fine with cdrecord and Nerolinux.
The guy is anonymous but informative. Mod him/her up.
That SATA is recogonized by Slackware when booting with the "huge26.s" kernel. I've got a customer jumping through some hoops to get his Intel DP965LT working properly. Alot of it has to do with the fact the PATA isn't an Intel chip.
On the other hand, my D975XBX works absolutely beautifully. I have the E6400 running at 2346Mhz with no issues. Onboard sound works suprisingly well though I'll be dropping an Audigy back into the box. One thing I can assure you is it does fly! My poor old 3Ghz P4 is left in the dust.
+1 Insightful. Agreed. If you sue the companies for hundreds of millions of dollars they need to recap that money somehow. That'll just result in slightly higher costs until they've recovered from their injuries then they can be sued again!!
Gas on the other hand, that affects a greater portion of the US Market on a daily basis. I'd rather lose $5 on that one time investment in memory than be continually robbed for a products that requires more frequent purchases like music and gas.
Radio Shack. Or Radioshack.com. Maybe their sales people don't have a clue but rummanging through the drawers will find you what you need. Breadboards, project boxes, LEDs, switches, resistors, zip ties, electrical tape. You need at least a rough mock-up eh? Here in Oregon we have an even better shop called Norvac. Ah, shrink tubing, fiber, every connector known to man, motors, and more.

Seriously, http://misterhouse.sourceforge.net/ Automate your home. I'll agree more with the above poster though, rent it out.

When you sign up at http://my.nintendo.com/ they offer you a few different mailings. The really want the consumer at the core with the DS and Wii.
Don't worry, they'll switch that over and ground their planes. As long as somebody gets a picture here when it happens.
Honestly, I fear using the newer ATMs that BofA is using. I don't like the idea of getting my money from a box that runs Windows.

Not going to happen. They can't even keep the Transporter in stock. Get yerself a Squeezebox instead.

Good job y'all. They're already complaining about traffic and you link to their site?!

For once, an AC post worth a solid 5. Mod the poor nobody up already!

That be all.

Yeah, singles are so out. Custom 33 1/3 LP all the way.
Didn't a luxury car maker feature a turntable in one of their commercials?
