Just to point out, it's a FCC regulation that cable companies provide a working Firewire port on cable boxes, if you request it. You can stream video from the cable box to your computer this way. MythTV supports a few of these cable boxes.
The problem is getting your cable company to enable it. It not a common request, so no one at the cable company knows how to do it.
Heck, I've install Gentoo using PXE because the computer didn't have a floppy drive and the CDROM was so old it couldn't boot from CD. One quick search on the Gentoo forums for "PXE HOWTO" turned up a good amount of threads on how to set it up. A few hours later, I had Gentoo on the machine.
So not only do the Gentoo provided instructions work, the instructions from the Gentoo user community work.
They have stage3 tarballs, which contain everything compiled already. You just have to partition the drive, install the stage tarball, compile the kernel, and install syslog, cron, and grub.
I like Sarissa, but have moved onto using Dojo http://dojotoolkit.org/ due to it's friendlyness to JSON. Much easier accessing a returned object that walking the DOM.
When I worked a Motorola, and was part of their LUG, one of the members was talking about a Beowulf cluster they made. Like bad management, they ordered a bunch of desktop PC they couldn't use, and no one authorized their return. So they sat around in unopened boxes until his team decided to make a Beowulf cluster so they could model the electron flow around traces in an 8 layer circuit board before they had them actually pressed.
Each prototype board cost around $10,000 to create. And after that you have to test to make sure the electron field, around a trace, does not affect another trace. Manually it took a long time and is prone to errors. So if there is a problem, it's another $10,000, and another, until you get it correct.
With this Beowulf cluster they could model the electron flow around a trace and then only make one prototype, saving a ton of money and time. And this was all done with an ISO off the net and a bunch of forgotten computers.
For Ogg Vorbis, I use a Palm LifeDrive running Pocket Tunes. It has a Ogg Vorbis plug-in. The LiveDrive has a 4G drive and also the SD RAM card slot. It's a little expensive, but worked paid for mine:). Since the LifeDrive has Wifi, and BlueTooth, it can stream music. Just use the web browser and shoutcast.com.
I look at it like this, it might be more expensive... however it plays music, streams music, plays AVI, browses the web, all the PDA stuff, and can run custom applications.
I have a SSH client on it so I can check my work's servers from any hotspot.:)
When I was in college is didn't matter if you used an IDE or not. What mattered was when you took a test, in front of a piece of paper, you knew how to code.
When we were tested, we didn't do it in front of a computer. You had to hand write the code. It wasn't type something, compile, run, fix mistakes, repeat. It was, get it right the first time else get reduction for each mistake.
If if you wanted to use an IDE, you could, however if you couldn't code on a piece of paper, you failed.

The Windows button/mouse wheel zoom. Now I don't have to start up "xmag" every time I want to zoom in to make sure I have pixels lining up when developing web pages.
I'll have to catch it at 12, too busy ripping DVDs from my local video store, downloading MAME ROMs, and sharing my MP3s to catch it. But how dare they don't follow the GPL. Don't they have respect for other peoples licenses!
Doesn't matter. If they download the source via P2P, the license is automatically removed/voided just like license on ripped music, movies, and software.:)
The irony. The rootkit to "prevent/spy on" people who are breaking the licensing agreement on the music breaks a licensing agreement on the software used, and is being complained about by people who don't follow the licensing agreement on the music to begin with.
What do you mean? They get their share from services like iTunes, Napster, and the other legal music download services. Internet stations, like Radio Free Colorado, pay something like $0.07 a song. The RIAA gets their cut of that. So in fact, their business model is changing and not becoming obsolete.
BTW: All those Pepsi adds where they look like they are anti-RIAA make me laugh, since the RIAA made cash from the legal music downloads.
I'm looking at my Windows computer. On the screen is BitDenfender 8 Professional Plus, AT&T Global Network Client, Sonic RecordNow!!! and Window Media Player. None of these application have the same interface or widget set, in fact they don't even look remotely the same. Apparently Windows doesn't follow this rule and people get along fine.
While it would be nice for all application to look the same, this can't really be a complaint in the Window vs Linux ( ala X Window System ) if Windows doesn't follow this rule either.
It because of the big throbbing brain of the OSS community. They release that information and the OSS community will pick their violations apart like they did in the past. It's like IBM has a free legal reasearch team.

Use a Knoppix CD to install Gentoo.

As we all know, P2P removes all licensing agreements from software, music, and videos.

So does IE 7.0 now (re-)support "position: fixed"? It worked in IE 5.0, then was broken in IE 6.0. So is it back?
Your response is the same as mine.
