It does work out well, however, if you have some extra components hanging around. The only hardware I bought for my setup was a PVR-250 which set me back around $200 Canadian (and no, it wasn't for Melrose Place).
I stuck it in an old Celeron 500, and there is your backend. There is an awesome setup script to get Myth running on your xbox.
So after only $200 and a couple of hours of tinkering, I had a fully functional Myth setup
Ok, stolen? We can't have it both ways. If it isn't stealing music, but copyright infringment instead, how is this any different? Just cause it's not the **AA being ripped off it's stealing now?
Gimme a break.

Not so much about poker, but Brining Down the House is a neat read about how some MIT students (definition of geek, no?) took Vegas casinos and other for millions playing blackjack.
Firefox eschews ActiveX and other well-known infection paths. You can configure it to automatically download most files when you click on them, but not.exe files, which are runnable programs. I thought this was a bug before I realized Firefox was saving me from myself, since.exe files could be viruses or stealth installers.
Um, you conviniently left out the question that he was answering:
What advice would you offer to someone who is contemplating starting a GPL-based business?
Is Apple's a GPL-based business? Nope. Hell, the biggest OSS part of Apple's business would be their use of BSD in Darwin, which, isn't exactly under the GPL now is it? And gimme a break with the frenchman line, jeez.
When I read this all I could think of was that I wish I had gone to his highschool.
Gentoo in the enterprise? I don't see it.

Gentoo Linux Musings

· Score: 5, Interesting
I had played around with Linux at home, with SuSE and Red Hat and the like. But they were all so big on that 400MHz Celeron. Then I put on Gentoo, and it flew. MythTV, no problem! With the famous pvr-250, and me striping down the system to be a mythtv only box, I was smokin.
But in the server room? Sadly, I don't see this happening. What sells there is support. And for people who don't know, when we talk about someone providing support, we talk about someone to *blame*. "Hey, the server is down, wtf? Well, I'm paying RH $XXXX, I'll let them figure it out." And for the most part, they do.
The whole philosophy of Gentoo seems to go against this though. Red Hat can support it, cause they know you are running RedHat 7.2 with the 2.4.9-31MPT-SP kernel, cause that's what they shipped with. If you buiild your own they'll have one word for you: Unsupported.
Now look at Gentoo Linux, they are at the other end of the spectrum, 100% custom. Who in their right mind is going to support that? How could they? I just don't see it.
I finally put my mod chip to good use with GentooX and mythTV on my xbox. It acts as a great front end. And yes, there is an easier mythtv only xbox-linux distro here
Could this possibly be because people who find flaws in the system might go to Microsoft first and say "look what we found", and then give MS a chance to fix it?
Then, when MS does release the patch, the people who found the flaw throw up the details on their website for all the "hackers" to get their hands on.
hence the exploits coming after the patch is released
We may joke about this being YAiPOD, but i think having things like the Dell DJ and the Rio Karma out on the market will are a great thing for the iPod.
When the iPod originally came out, it was out of this world. Nobody had seen anything like it. Now it's a couple of years later, and yes it's smaller, and got a bigger hard drive, but not a lot has changed.
Having these new music players on the market is going to make Apple have to start thinking again. I'm not saying that Apple has to come out and give us a brand new, kick ass iPod (although I wouldn't be supprised if they did), it's just that now, they're going to have to work for that marketshare.
It will let you burn a single, unchanged playlist 10 times. Of course, you can change that playlist, and then burn the new one 10 times, and then change that one...

I hope they have one hooked up to their webserver...
hello?
Missed a u, it's Hauppauge. One of the most popular cards is the PVR-250.
From the screenshots and description it sort of looks like iPhoto for Winodws, no?
It doesn't seem to have been released, but Microsoft has something up about Media Center Extender for Xbox.
Talk about saving users from themselves.

This mostly comes from the poster calling it a "Parking Meter" when it is more like a "Parking Pay Station".
Nice artice, but where are the screenshots?
Good Lord, 100 cups? the constant shitting alone would polish me off...yesyes AF.

How would this be any different from paying for your BigMac and fries with a your Visa? How is any more personal information passed around?
