"Excellent Picture Quality" is in the eye of the beholder. I still think that VHS looks better than SVCD OR those DIVX files you speak of. Besides, if they allow burning to DVD they are probably using MPEG2.
No! RTFA, it's a combined unit (Panasonic has other ones already availible) think DVR with the capability to burn DVDs. The article headline is correct (well maybe not about the 28 day part unless you don't mind your video looking like crap)
You could record in higher quality which will eat the disk space faster. Or perhaps you're a packrat and want to save copies of shows without burning them to DVD.
It's still old news, maybe just for me because I live in Minneapolis where the trials have been occuring but it was in the local paper here in early August and trials started before then.
As explained, this was covered, and by a better article within the past 30 days. This isn't the similar story that was reported in the story, this is yet another dupe. Do I read/. more than the editors? Scary!
Tell me about it, I could use an extra 6 or 7 hours a day myself. What I'm hoping is that the SenderID systems are compatible with SPF so that their SenderID filtering software will recognize my SPF record and my SPF filtering will recognize (most) of their SenderID record.
What a lot of people (including the grandparent) don't get is that SPF isn't designed to stop spam. SPF is designed to stop two things: forgeries and bounces of forgeries. Stopping those two, however, then makes stopping spam a much more manageable problem.
Exactly! 80% of the spam I get on my mailserver is from people spoofing a domiain that I have backup MX for. SPF stops this! Remember that you can still use SPF without the Microsoft extensions that make it SenderID.
Does anyone else remember either of these word processors? I used Leading Edge Word Processor on my Leading Edge Model 'D' for years and loved the filing system (complete with long filenames) long before the Windows era.
I also used a great word processor called 'Q&A Write for Windows 2.0' for a number of years which (IMHO) was much better than the early versions of Word for Windows. Anyone else remember these or other popular alternatives to Word?

As others have said, the Ximeta drives are not really good at standards support. They sound really cool and all but they're really just USB drives with a strange USB to ethernet adapter built in. They require you to install driver to access the drive. Let me repeat they do not use smb they use a driver that emulates a local USB port over ethernet. I don't know if it has changes but one of the ones I played with didn't even support TCP/IP it used a strange protocol on top of ethernet meaning the device wasn't even routable and had to be on the same segment. I would stay away from these if you're serious about the network ability of the solution. As far as I can tell they are ok for USB access though.
Overall it's a good idea, but very poorly implementd
In 1983, the Postal Service began using an expanded ZIP Code system called "ZIP+4," which are often called "plus-four codes." A ZIP+4 code uses of the basic 5-digit ZIP plus an additional 4-digits to identify a geographic segment within the 5-digit delivery area, such as a city block or a group of apartments or an individual high-volume receiver of mail, or any other unit that could use an extra identifier to aid in efficient mail sorting and delivery. Use of the plus-four code is not required, but it helps the Postal Service direct mail more efficiently and accurately because it reduces handling and significantly decreases the potential for human error and possibility of misdelivery. An additional two digits are usually used to indicate the exact delivery point, so that every single mailable point in the country has its own 11-digit number. These two digits are usually the last two of the street address or box number, though non-numeric points with names or letters are assigned DP numbers by the local post office.
So it actually takes 11 digits to get to a single address. Has anyone ever tried sending a letter with only 11 digits as the address?
Deep Discount DVD is usually the least expensive place to buy DVDs from. I will say their customer service is really slow so hope your order goes through without any problems. They offer free shipping (US and everything so they're usually cheaper than Amazon too. I've placed several orders with them and have had good luck so far.
People don't like buying new technology that does less than the old
Really? Could have fooled me, people seem to buy music with DRM, digital cameras, etc. All of which do less than the technology that preceeded them. That said, I agree that people are not going to be happy when they can't record TV shows for friends who missed them.
Any word on better working SATA support in Beta 3? I spent a good part of last week trying to get Debian installed on a customer's SATA drive (VIA chipset) It was a far bigger pain than it should have been. I would like to see Debian have some good SATA support in the installer considering how it's taking off.
I do not agree with this, if you plan to keep moving up you will need a four year degree, and if it's in networking all the better. Schools I would look at are RIT (IT program) Fort Hayes State University in Nebraska (INT program) and the University of Wisconsin Stout Telecommunications Systems program.
I am currently in my last semester at UW-Stout in the Telecom Sys program, at least here I can vouch for getting hands on real world experiance on a variety of networking gear and protocols, a mix of old and new similar to what you might find at a business.
If you find this sort of thing interesting (and their is a lot of application of computers in modern model railroading) why not join a local club. Heck, you could make the entire thing availible on a web site and allow remote control and view it over a webcam.
You're hearing pops and clicks on wired mics and you expect to use digital???
Give me a break! As opposed to pops, clicks, hums and static when digital gets interference you just loose the signal completly!
So..t..ound.. som..ing l..ke this.
As someone else told you either spend some serious dough on a real wireless system top of the line Shure or the new Audio-Technicas. Or if you're really in a high line noise envronment get a good wired mic and some super shielded cable.
You could have a GMRS repeater you are unaware of, it would significantly improve range. But I have never seen a Target or WalMart use GMRS at all, typically they have "industrial" radio licenses.

Not a mirror but this is the Panasonic page. It was also covered by JCNNetwork and Engadget.
There's also a press release on JCNNetwork.
Engadget has a brief article. I'll keep looking for better information though.

WHy not still support SPF? SPF!=SenderID You can still use SPF without the Microsoft extenstions!

If you put me through law school, I'll be a tech savvy judge for you.

Or try reading about it in the local paper the StarTribune story.
I was excited when I saw that in the release notes last week, but as of the nightly builds last Friday it still did not work...

One such local group is the Twin Cities Model Railroad Museum which has a pretty nice layout itself.
