That opens up the interesting possibility that doctors may someday be able to activate that gene directly and we can live long and prosper . . . without giving up chocolate
No one says that you need to give up chocolate. It's been shown many times that high quality dark chocolate with a high percentage of Cocoa is good for you. It's the milk chocolate that has tons of extra sugar added that isn't. And everything in moderation, right? If you want to have a piece of chocolate, go ahead - maybe skip the beer afterward. The beer is just going to ruin the aftertaste of the good chocolate anyway.
Nope. That analogue component cable won't be able to pass along the HDCP and you'll lose the resolution. A dedicated video switcher will also have to drop the resolution, or probably face big lawsuits.
How is this news? It's been known for a long time that the new digital formats will only work over HDMI or DVI with HDCP. Why do you think that any new player that supports the SACD or DVD-Audio formats only provides access to the high resolution multichannel format via 5.1 (or now 7.1) analogue outputs? It's still not possible to take advantage of a digital processor's portentially superior decoding abilities and bass management - you have to rely on whatever's been included in the player itself. Besides the format war, this is one of the other big reasons why these formats never caught on - to listen to them, you'd need a processor or a receiver with 5.1 or 7.1 analogue inputs. Standard RCA, Coax, or Toslink users need not apply. I know that my argument is based on audio formats, but I think anyone looking at HD-DVD or BluRay as a format would have seen the writing on the wall for some time now.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a version tagged as RELEASE just a snapshot of a stable tree? With FreeBSD, I'm usually more concerned with what's labelled "production" and what's labelled "development". 6.0 is labelled "production" right now, and the older 5.x tree is still production, but is considered legacy.
There were a lot of 5.x-RELEASE releases. Even the last one was "RELEASE" when you grabbed it from the ISO. But if you cvsup to sync your source and make buildworld/installworld, you always end up with a -STABLE tag if you've sync'ed to RELENG_5. The same thing will probably also apply to 6.
That's fine advice until you realize that at this point in time there is NO source of 1080p material. Sure, you can scale up to it, but then you're interpolating, and you're not really seeing true 1080p. It's nice to own a unit that can display 1080p natively, but it might be a while until we get a native source for it.
You're damn right about the tubes in a CRT though. Those suckers are expensive to replace, compared to replacing a single bulb in an LCD or DLP projector. It cost me three times as much to replace the CRT bulbs in my Pioneer RPTV, compared to the single bulb in my Runco projector.
Yeah, that Transporter episode was pretty bad. It's gotten to the point where the producers and writers are having people like Brent Spiner guest star on it in an effort to save the show, but it ain't working.
Last season was pretty good, I thought. But this season isn't going so well. The disjointed single episode thing just doesn't carry me as well as a season-long plot.
It doesn't help matters that the last few Star Trek series rely on gimmicks to pull them along. Voyager had the Borg (lots and lots and lots of Borg), and Enterprise has lots of time travel. Bah. At least on DS9 you could go to Quark's and get hammered if an episode was starting to suck.
I was at a conference for Privacy, Security, and Trust a few weeks ago here at the university where I work, and there were two very interesting papers presented by people who had given this idea serious thought.
Both papers, in PDF format, are available here and here.
With the way air travel is now, you're not likely going to be able to take anything powered by a turbine engine and diesel fuel with you on a flight. A flight full of wierdos with fuel-powered cellphones and PDAs is just what we need. Electric power isn't going anywhere.
I watch quicktime movies and trailers under Linux and BSD all the time, with Xine and the associated DLLs, available here. Life is good.
There are instructions on how to get it working on Xine's website.
You create your cvsup config file, and then run the command line cvsup app. It polls a CVS server and downloads the source tree you want into/usr/src, typically. Then you can go about your make buildworld/make buildkernel/make installworld/make installkernel process (documented in/usr/src/UPDATING), and you're golden.
This is great news, but it's not quite a surprise for some people, especially those involved with the UT Troopers UT2003 mod. They've been at it publically for a few months now, ever since UT2003 has been on the shelves, and Lucas has given them their blessing.

some people don't get sarcasm, I guess :)
Hey, it worked in Gattaca.
I wonder if people living in India get spam about offshoring their company to India?

Hey, now! You'd be amazed at the amount of force and energy that's stored in the rubber between my legs!
Did anyone else notice that the guy who sent the email linked to the Yahoo! maps service instead of the Google one, in his sig?
I just thought that was sort of interesting.

What you seek is cvsup:
