You don't have to install the packages. We use Fedora at work and only use the 1st CD to build the system. Anything else gets installed only if and when it's needed using yum.
In my experiance salary's are a lot lower in the UK. I've been working in the States now for 5 years where salary's are higer and everything costs less. Plus it doesn't rain as much.
Really? It runs fine on my old P3 933 w/ 512Mb RAM.
Software cost's aside. I only had to spend $79 on a capture card, $30 on a remote and and extra $145 for an ATI's video card and HDTV dongle.
It was easy to setup and the interface is great. I might give another PVR such as mythtv a try at sometime, but I never get round to it because MCE works great.
Since we're all doing the stats thing. I'll repost these from the other firefox thread.
The numbers below are unique visitors in August. The site is a large entertainment site in alexia's top 1000 with over 200 million page views.
1. Microsoft 9,888,438 84.0% 2. AOL 1,235,916 10.5% 3. Mozilla (Gecko) 263,605 2.2% 4. Netscape 224,704 1.9% 5. Safari 63,597 0.5% 6. Opera 59,646 0.5% 7. Other 32,933 0.3%
No. 1 includes all Microsoft Browsers. IE4 - 6 The AOL also counts as IE so 94.5% of users using IE.
To say that Firefox and Mozilla are making gains is true but to make everyone believe that they have a 15% share and its doubled in 9 months is crazy. The sites that quote those figures aren't visited by a large enough cross section of society to have any validity at all.
This also doesn't mean that our site is heavily IE specific. I personally develop and test using Gecko and then fix for IE.
It's not water cooled. All they did was add a heat pipe. I've got the same thing in my powerbook, a shuttle and a coolermaster heatsink and everyone is going around like apple made some huge innovation.
There must be something wrong with my T40 but it only lasts about 3 hours, and thats on the High Battery Performance setting. Compared to my G4 powerbook which will often last twice that.
I would disagree. Using ID3 metadata tags to organise music is far better than using a filesystem alone. Sure, migrating to iTunes from a filesystem structure is a pain in the ass because all those free songs on the p2p networks don't always have the correct tagging info, but once everything is fully tagged it's far superior.
Don't forget to omit the xml prolog "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>" if you are using a xhtml doctype. It'll knock IE back into quirks rendering mode.
I met someguy a few years back on an cms implementation project who told me he used to be a professional lego builder building the various large scale models found in their stores.
I (thinking it was a dream job) replied: "Wow. What a dream job. Why did you stop?"
To which he replied "Try living on $7 bucks an hour"
You can do a simple 'ls' to view the hidden music directory but unlike the user's home music directory the music on the ipod is sure as hell not stored in the same nice structure for you to browse.
There are 3rd party tools to make it easy to see the music on your ipod and copy it off but forget about using the finder or terminal.
If slashdot cared so much about their bandwidth they would fix the html so that it was html 4.0 strict and using css for all of the layout. The bandwidth savings would be average 14Gb a day.
In fact there is an interesting article on A List Apart citing all of the changes.

Alternatively you could attach an event to each of the links which would log the click to google.

Also those numbers are unique users and not page views.
Here are some real stats from a large entertainment company website for the month of August.
No. 1 includes all Microsoft Browsers. IE4 - 6 The AOL users are also using microsoft browsers so that 94.5% of users using IE.
Now I wish this wasn't the case but it's true.
Because GIF's are smaller and because you can't reliably do alpha transparancy.
I don't think that it needs 2 dvi cables.
Dual link dvi still uses the one cable.

Last I checked, Sun doesn't allow deployment of the reference implementation.
That's what I thought about previous versions. But as far as I can tell, now it's free.
What's wrong with just using this?
I don't think it applys to the 12in models: link
I think its about 4 minutes, but i don't want to test it. It's seriously cool though, I show it off a lot to people with pc laptops.
There must be something wrong with my T40 but it only lasts about 3 hours, and thats on the High Battery Performance setting. Compared to my G4 powerbook which will often last twice that.
It isn't a 1 year return policy. It's 6 mths for desktop and laptops and unlimited (i think) for everything else.
Isn't that diagram a scan from Edward R. Tufte's "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information"

The problem with IE5 is that it uses the CSS1 method of calculating the size of the box model.

I bet they wouldn't be able to tell if a car had OnStar without either previous experience
So the big blue onstar button on the dash wouldn't give it away. ;)
You are wrong.

since itunes AACs are from 24 bit sources and CDs are only 16 bit
Hmm. I'm pretty sure that the AAC's on the ITMS are ripped from cd and encoded by the music companies themselves.

But google doesn't run on one server.
$699 times the thousands of servers they have is a lot.
