Xbox 360 doesn't transmit the audio over HDMI and the standard component/optical adapter that comes with it does not leave enough room for you to have both cables plugged in at the same time. It's not a hardware limitation, but rather a physical one. I guess you could hack up the standard cable to make room for the HDMI though...
Don't forget the point here people.... I didn't read anything in the article about her getting off from the lawsuit with the RIAA. I think she has a right to sue Comcast for giving out her personal information to ANYONE, let alone someone that wants to use that information to sue her. While the article seems to focus on the fact that it was the RIAA, it could have been anyone/any company.
This is not intended to be flamebait, but I'm not sure that the RIAA is guilty of any wrong doing. They asked for her info and Comcast gave it up. While I don't how that will affect the case that the RIAA has against her, if the facts in the article are indeed true, it seems only fair that she receive some restitution from Comcast. If that ends up being the case and I were her, I would pay off the RIAA and end the ordeal. In the end, she will most likely come out ahead ($$) from this whole debacle.
The pre-built ones that I've seen are a little too expensive for my taste. You can get a Tivo and a lifetime subscription as well as have a bunch of money left over for the price of some of the pre-built mythtv boxes. I built my own mythtv for the following reasons:
a) I wanted a PVR
b) I wanted to learn more about the inner workings of the linux Os.
c) For the sheer pleasure of saying that I built it myself.
Granted, it took me months before I had a stable box with all of the features that I wanted, but I learned A LOT. If you are only looking for reason a, then save yourself a bunch of time/headaches and buy a Tivo.
What is the difference between online game subscriptions and things like cell phones, satellite radio, and cable tv?
For all of the above, you are paying for a service that requires some type of hardware to be utilized. It would be like the cable company saying that you can't use the cable box that you bought from eBay? no?
Personally, I want a cell jammer, a good 20 square foot 'cone of silence' would be great.
Unfortunately, with a cell phone jammer, the "bla bla bla" might be replaced with "BLA BLA BLA CAN YOU HEAR ME? BLA BLA BLA CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?"
...good

"I hate to tell him that a single nuke, airburst high enough, would generate an EMP that could erase all he's working to accomplish. He'd be better off burning the music to CD or DVD."
MacNET: Back to your mission. How are you making sure your work is secure, that if you had a hard drive failure you wouldn't lose your music?
Doug: I back up every couple of days to DVD. I'm looking into blu-ray DVD burners because they will hold more. But right now I am backing everything up to DVD and then those DVD's are stored in my safe, and another set is stored off site.
I have an iPod and I no longer buy CD's. I mostly listen to live shows that are freely available all over the net. However, when there is an album that I would like to buy, I just get it from iTunes (or other online music store). For me the benefits are:
1) Don't have to go to the mall.
2) Same price as a CD or cheaper.
3) I can back it up on a CD.
4) I have a copy on my HD.
5) I can convert it to different formats.
6) Don't have to go to the mall.
7) I can listen before I buy.
8) If I like only one song, I don't have to buy the entire CD.
I meant this as an estimate for a DIY project for people reading this. Besides, the LCD monitors would be the most expensive part of the project. Who has an extra LCD monitor laying around, let alone 8?!?!?! (well, besides this guy)
ClusterKnoppix [bofh.be] may be just what you're looking for...
Cool... thanks. Thats exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. Does anyone have any experience with this? I was wondering what kinds of applications would benefit from a small cluster of relatively slow processors? For example, what single processor would be equivalent to a cluster of 3 P2 300MHz? It sounds like it could be a fun cheap project and a cool way to see how this stuff works on a small scale.
Just out of curiosity...

Linux Clustering

· Score: 2, Interesting
I was wondering if it is possible to make some sort of cluster out of old computers I have lying around? Nothing spectacular, just hooking up 3-4 old P2's to make a game server or something of the sort. Is there software out there to do this?
It would be really cool to see Apple expand the capabilities of the iPod. However, I would like to see it if the price were to remain relatively the same. I'm mean an MP3 player is an MP3 player, but the extra functionality for the price would be cool!
I'm not so sure this is a good thing for the video game industry in some aspects. There is always someone trying to put the blame on the video games whenever some kid commits a horrible crime. I can just see this kind of thing being used as ammo (no pun intended) to support the case that kids are influenced by video games when comitting certain types of crimes, especially violent ones. If 30% have a favorable view of the Army after playing Americas Army, then what view will they favor after playing something like Manhunt?

Actually I've seen pre-built mythtv boxes around for a while now...

Looks just like the kde version I'm using.

God I hate the mall...
The cables must be kinked! ;)
Why don't you just steal one of those while your at it? Sheesh!
crap. And I haven't gotten my free one yet!! *sigh* Here we go again.
Will it run on my iPod for windows?
It took me a minute to get it............... HA!.............. if I didn't already post I'd have modded you up! ;)
That was great. A one line stupid comment sparked a whole thread AND I got someone to sign up to get my free iPod!!
Now these bastard are gonna make *ME* rich!!!!
I guess that means I'll live to be 100!!! Excuse me while I crack open another cold one!! WooHoo!
I meant this as an estimate for a DIY project for people reading this. Besides, the LCD monitors would be the most expensive part of the project. Who has an extra LCD monitor laying around, let alone 8?!?!?! (well, besides this guy)
15" LCD monitors (8x$275.95) - $2207.60
Nvidia Quadro4 PCI video cards (2x$102.00) - $204.00
Windows frames (2x$500?) - $1000.00
Decent computer - $1500.00
Misc. Parts(wires, brackets, etc) - $250.00
Grand estimated total - $5161.60
...and this is probably a low estimate.
Sheesh!! If I have some extra cash I can afford the "good" beer and only hope the view from my window looks better.... must be nice
