"You'll make more money and suffer far less from the black market if you simply create the opportunity to access content freely," said Mr. Garland of Big Champagne.
This guy sums it up for me. I've been running Bit Torrent to get the only 3 TV shows (Simpsons, Daily Show, Chappelle Show) I every watch. I would pay $1 for pulling a hi-res, color and sound corrected copy in a heart beat.
There is a Howto on making a linux bootable from an iPod.
That way, you can always reboot any NetBSD machine into linux and access your iPod there. When your done, fall back to NetBSD.
I've been using sphinx for about a year or so now for a linux-base home automation project. I must
say that it has worked out very well for me so
far.
The speaker independant feature is the best part.
Not all words were recongnized, about 70%. Probably because I slur the other 30%. It works equally well with either my wife or myself issuing commands.
70% is more than I need for this particular project, but I'm sure this new release closes the gap even further.
Two years ago when I was an ASIC engineer, I would have thought this was a good solution. Having since switched to industrial control systems, I have to say no way.
Safty and reliability are absolutes in industrial control.
A machine like a bottler goes down at pepsi, and they are losing $250k/min when that machine isn't running. Or a pharmacutical company drops a batch worth $3 million.
And now that I've climbed in or on huge presses, mixing tanks, 6ft. fans, high preasure steam, and poison vapors... I wouldn't trust thier function to a wireless web.
I can see where this would be great for remote/hazardess sensors and transmittion, but not anytime soon for control. Hell, we still extensivly use rs232 over ethernet.
My job, and subsequent peer-pressuring to own an apple myself, increased my linux intelligence 10 fold.
Running Linux on PPC isn't so hard as it used to be with distro's like Yellow Dog Linux and gentoo and such. But a couple years ago it took a lot of effort to setup, port and package together the applications and kernels that were readily available on x86.
I ran x86 linux for a long time, but turns out I didn't _really_ know anything until switching to PPC.

Actually, the Bootable linux on ipod is ipod specific. The ipod retains it's music player ability and can have linux installed directly onto it.
Slashdot reported Terrasoft did this earlier this week. But with a full install of Yellow Dog Linux.
Except the USB key doesn't play music, work with iTunes, etc...
The cool thing about this is that the iPod maintains its ability to function as a stand alone music player.
It also still functions normally under iTunes, gtkpod, etc... It just now can boot YDL 4.0.1

It would be sweet, passive way to get a little cash while still keeping the moral high ground.

It is nice to see that my old engineering school has placed so high. They even topped out 1st in 2001, and 2nd in 2002.
Makes me proud to be a Wildcat on many different levels.
