I have a Leadtek 4Xsound (based on the CMI8738 chipset). Reasonably cheap, too, and has
coax spdif out
optical spdif out
optical spdif in
a jumper on the optical board for connecting to your CDROM drive's digital audio out connector.
and unlike the nasty yamaha thing I had previously, it will talk 44.1khz over the digital lines (haven't tried input as I don't have any other equipment that talks SPDIF, only a tempramental minidisc that will listen).
And the last MP3 I copied over to minidisc with this thing I did with linux. So that works. (Windows 2000, on the other hand, doesn't like dealing with the SPDIF side.)
> Is there something about crypto that separates it from wiretapping and physical search warrants?
Yes. Because the government can wiretap you or search your building - and you can't do anything about it. Well you can, but it takes a lot of physical effort (private armies, anyone?).
But with crypto - just use non-backdoored software. Simple. Sure, it may be illegal, but do you think those engaging in illegal activities already are really going to worry about that?
Anyway, it's impossible to fit "full 768 x 576 video and 44.1Khz stereo audio" down a 64k line, let alone a 28.8. What's the bet the only data transmitted over that 28.8k connection was "...and now play C:\WINDOW\TEMP\__INST.053\MATRIX.IVA" (followed by a lot of random data:)?
NFS? No, what you want is something that will work through HTTP, and has a big buffer and the ability to restart HTTP transfers - then you can just roam around wherever there happen to be wireless networks with firewalls that let you get out through port 80...:)
Actually while it sounds like a nice explanation it has a flaw you could drive a truck through: how could Cwis's stealing *one hosting customer* from Cyberlink be even *remotely* worth the risk of getting caught cracking PDNS's website?
* It's relatively easy to see that pencil-marks have been erased. Try it some time.
* You'd need to erase a lot of ballots to make a difference. Remember, these will be *hand-counted*: there will be multiple people at each polling station doing the counting, you'd need to bribe them *all* (and IIRC when we do it here, there are party scrutineers hanging around during the counting...)
Contrast this with machine-counting where the counting machine is effectively a single point of failure.
If you just want to 'try linux' but don't want to put much time into it, Mandrake or RedHat is probably a good choice. However, if you *really* want to *learn* about linux, try debian.
Debian is similar, but better supported and IMHO much better put together. Things get installed in the right places. Package management is a dream. Default settings for many things are *sane*. Finding documentation, or packages to do something, is easy. Fixing it when it breaks, or upgrading bits when new holes are discovered, is also easy. Debian is powerful, well thought out and well put together.
Erm... I imagine all the people who normally access websites hosted on your cable connection will just *guess* that because they can't access the site, they should add an:81?

*beep* Wrong. Next please.
IN A records cannot have port numbers in them. Methinks your registrar is doing some sort of HTTP redirection.
He's talking about minidisc. Not an Iomega product. A sony product (licensed to several others). Optical rewritable media, ~74 minutes per disc. Format: 384Kbps ATRAC (sony proprietary compression format).
They're not too bad. I'd use mine more but I dropped it and it's functionality is now limited to sitting on the shelf:(
A *large* backpack does very well. I can put my rather bulky WinCE PDA in one side pocket along with it's attendant cellphone and modem, the cd player in the other, and chuck everything else in the main compartment.
And there's still room in my pockets for a cellphone and palmpilot.
A friend asked how many CPU-ish things I had on me a week or so ago, and after sitting there for a minute thinking and feeling pockets, I said 7. And I didn't have the laptop with me.
Grr. WinCE has free dev tools that only produce binaries for v2.11 and above (guess which version I have). And the source is under MS's 'shared source' license.
Should Linux alternatives become popular, then major Linux releases will be forced, by lawsuit if necessary, to comply to the same restrictions as Windows, etc. as best possible. Thanks DMCA!
Correction: the SE doesn't run *BSD as it has no MMU. The SE/30 has a 68030 and *does* run *BSD.
Guess which one I have:(
Anyway the point I was trying to make was that the FBI/SIS/GCSB/etc probably doesn't have a m68k MacOS keystroke grabber they can just pull off the shelf and use.
Actually I suspect if I persuaded PGP to run on an old Mac SE then whatever exciting technology the LEAs use to tap keystrokes might have "problems".
Taken a bit further, one could mystify those who might want to get at your data by storing it on cassettes and using ZX Spectrum encryption software (wonder how slow RSA/DES/etc would be on a 4MHz Z80).
But Vodafone's GPRS prices are through the roof (NZ$30/mb), and no-one seems to think that prepay customers are really interested in data services (the only viable option for prepay data is using telecom, and it's *not* advertised).

It was a state in Australia; Victoria IIRC.
IMHO paper ballots and (shock, horror) *real* *people* counting them is the best system.

Yes, but that doesn't help if you gave out URLs pointing at your box before your ISP started filtering incoming HTTP traffic.

How else would I be able to play ZX spectrum games during COMP202 lectures (and download new ones)?
:)
How else could I read a book while walking up hills? (Paper ones can be quite inconvenient for this; I've tried.)
I'd add to the list but I can't think of anything more at the moment. Overdose of Jet Set Willy

Liquid nitrogen. Much better than dry ice. Plus you can make icecream with it if necessary (as I recall, fairly good icecream too).

erm... you've fallen for the same fallacy that these US-congress-people have.
You may notice that these so-called "most popular" searches are a very small fraction of all searches. They're NOT the MOST POPULAR.

Nice. New processors. But will they fix the OS, or will ARM palm programs still have to deal with ~32k heap and so forth?

Not a problem: 2.4's netfilter has modules to emulate both ipchains *and* ipfwadm.
Personally I prefer iptables though: the HOWTOish things at http://netfilter.samba.org/unreliable-guides are quite helpful.
