Yes, you can setup up your Tivo or MythTV to work with a Digital Cable Box, best case you setup a Firewire connection which also handles channel changes. But in many cases its an ugly hack at best.
As the parrent poster mentioned, this is possible, but REQUIRES each customer use a cable box for each set in the house (for typical customer usage). "Cable-Ready" TV's, VCR's, and PVR's all become useless for tuning. The Cable company can't leave anything in the clear because it might offend someone, or at least is not wanted (not paid for).
Even the entire spectrum of digital channels would have to be encrypted/scrambled, with new QAM256 tuners in some HD sets and DVB cards in homebuilt PVR's.
In the end I see this making TV much more controlled and Closed source we currently enjoy, despite the high prices.
From Apple website: "Memory upgrade must be performed by an Apple Authorized Service provider."
Quick translation, adding your own memory will void your warranty . . .. Selling a $175 stick of memory (less $40 base for 256MB) for $425 is in my opinion, criminal.
From the Apple iChat "iChat AV uses patented anamorphic resizing techniques so that the video of the person you're chatting with fills the entire screen without distortion"
Hauppauge incorporated proprietary source as subroutines in the BusyBox (GPL) binaries on the initial release of its MediaMVP. These are the fpage and mpgdec programs, which are clearly part of BusyBox in the ramdisk image.
Subsequent releases the programs were compiled separately, and the very scarce source code release does not include the source to compile the original release version of BusyBox . . .
Does GPL force release of what was previously proprietary source code in this case?
OK, great you can't lose your code if you "accidently" incorporate a bit of GPL code. What if its the other way around. What if you intentionally insert your proprietary code into a GPL program and release the binary?

Its a tile barely over a square inch and still a 1/4 inch thick, hardly ready to change lighting tech as we know it.
I was personally hoping for something that would come of the production line by the roll and be applied like wallpaper to my walls or ceilings. Hide wiring in the baseboard moldings. Room not bright enough or the wrong color? Just turn it up . . . .
It seems that no "typical" OSX applications like Quicktime and iTunes made the lists . . .
Of course it makes sense because:
95% = Windows
4 % = Mac
1 % = Linux
BroadQ now supports Ogg audio as well as MP3.
Also plays most video: mpeg, avi, mov, divX . . . and has a picture viewer supporting jpg and png formats.
At those rates why don't they give customer's free computers with no power switches and password locked screen savers that support network based number-crunching.
If you were modem based it could do nightly call-ins to upload results and download new work.
Even at a 50% customer usage rate (doubtful), you still are talking about $650+, well within what a low-end P4 system can be had for these days.

This is absolutely true. Unless you are blatantly abandoning traditional CD players there will always be Redbook Audio data *someplace* on the CD. The only way to hide this is by confusing the computer with "unexpected" directory/index structures.
A stupid drive with software drivers would easily find this data. Perhaps a firmware "upgrade" to commonly available CD drive might allow this?

. . . . because they steal Yahoo, AOL, and Microsofts intellectual property, in an attempt to make money.
My understanding is that Trillian, Gaim, and Fire were developed using standard reverse engineeing methods to duplicate the protocols required to communicate with services from Yahoo, AOL, and MSN. This is not stealing intellectual property, and Trillian Pro aside, considering Trillian is available free of charge and that Gaim and Fire are both GPL, I would venture to say that there is very little or no money being made.
Combined with the fact that you need a valid ID regestered with your choice(s) of IM services. . .
If you want an analogy. . . using an alternate IM program is like skipping commercials on a Tivo or ReplayTV . . ..No Advertisements! . . . . while certain corporations and **AA associations would like us to think otherwise is not stealing intellectual property . . .
Agreed. I had LASIK about a year and a half ago, very pleased with it, no night vision issues.
My experience with computers and monitors after the surgery was not perfect while healing though. I'm not a programmer, but use e-mail, office apps, and CAD a great deal at work. The large monitors (19" @ home and 20/21" at work were much easier to tolerate for long periods during the first few months comprared to a laptop or small monitor.
If you are going to do it, and looking at a compter screen is your livelihood, I would strongly suggest having a large screen available and bump of the font sizes to reduce eye stress.
Read the ****ing article! The disk trys to initialize the disk by reading an identifier on the disk. Since the drive don't recognize the new disk, it keeps trying, and trying, with the laser on all the time, overheating the media and the laser.
Not sure how this is different from the laser running continuously while buring or playing, maybe because its concentrated on on area of the disk?
Snapstream appears to be taken a disproportionant ammount of credit for this. The real news here is the Broadq software which installs as on your PC as a media server which you can access thru a PS2 with a ethernet adapter. Supports MP3, MPEG1,2,4, DivX, and JPEG formats. Server side runs on Linux, Windows, or OS X.
The Snapstream software is just one way to get mediafiles on your server to watch. . . .
