It's a DAILY event in America -- There is no where else in the world that isn't a war zone that is like this. It seems Americans have been living with daily mass shootings for so long, it seems normal to you guys...

I have a Commodore 64 emulator running on my phone (Nokia 6630). Pretty cool to show people Jumpman! Get a bluetooth keyboard for it, and the old games are quite playable. I keep a keyboard in the car in case I need to do remote support (using s2putty), so whilst waiting at the airport to pick someone up, I fire up the Commodore 64, and play LodeRunner:)
There is no Shockwave for Linux. It's got little to do with being purists, and more to do with it being a proprietary plugin, which is not supported on all platforms.
Why not put the PVR in a different room and just run the tv-cable to the TV? Lan cables are a no-go due to installation requirements, wifi's not fast enough to have the necessary data transferred over the needed distance and a box in living room is prohibited by wife.
There are people running myth over 802.11b, although if I was going to go wireless, I'd go 802.11g or 802.11a, which should be plenty of bandwidth.
Make an IR-connection with these nasty small transmitter/receiver combos (aprox. EUR 40), and get some learning remotes.
I have a 2.4GHz spread spectrum one of these that does A/V one way, and IR the other, so I can control all my equipement from the bedroom, and don't need anything but a TV and one of these transceivers. Apparently you can get use multiple "receivers" (the ones that receive audio/video, and transmit IR).
This would be a nicer solution than TV cable, put your myth box in a cupboard (combined front and backend), with one of these to receive the IR, and transmit (to multiple receivers) the A/V.
Being pure digital, the picture quality is perfect, and it doesn't seem to interfere with my 802.11b stuff despite using the same spectrum.
Here are a couple of examples of the transceiver hardware I mean. I paid about AUD $100 for my set. --

As I'm sure we all know, upgradability is a big issue with computer hardware. My MythTV box is using a Cooler Master case (but in black), with this motherboard.
I've already added a DVB-T (HDTV in the US) card, which you can't do with this box (i.e. you will never get digital TV with this box).
My box is a bit bigger, but looks like a stereo component (brushed steel). I'm also planning on adding an extra analogue capture card (bringing my capture sources up to three). This will fill the PCI slots on the Micro-ATX board, so I'm damn glad I didn't buy a smaller box!
I've got a DVD-ROM drive, DVD burner and currently one 160GB hard disk. Planning on adding another much bigger hard drive (waiting, waiting, I want 1TB)
If you are thinking of building a PVR (it's a fun project), you really should think about expandability and upgradability.
Also, don't forget MythTV is a very nice client/server architecture, so you can run your "backend" on some beefy ugly PC in a cupboard, and us anything (including an XBox) as a frontend.

I work from home (programming) a couple of days a week, my girlfriend works from home (programming) exclusively.
We recently moved to Bondi Beach (Sydney), which has mad a huge difference. Lots of cafes, strolls along the ocean paths, and of course a beautiful beach. Everything within walking distance. I now walk much more than I ever have before. I'm spending more in rent than ever before, but it's partly tax deductable, and much cheaper than a separate office.
My recommendations are:- - Move someone beautiful (if you can). - Get a girlfriend (if you don't have one and if you can;) - Move somewhere with a community, where walking is fun and stimulating. - Get a spare room if you can afford it. Friend come and stay at our beachside house.
This runs linux natively, why not support Sharp for doing this. It has a full , usable keyboard, and runs in landscape mode OR portrait mode.
I figure that portrait mode is better for the non-CLI crowd (e.g. windows users) and landscape is better for CLI users. This looks perfect, if a little big. SSH from anywhere!
The US is certainly very good at hypocrisy, I suppose that comes with diversity and arrogance;)
Here is an excerpt:-
THE founding myth of the dominant nations is that they achieved their industrial and technological superiority through free trade. Nations that are poor today are told that if they want to follow our path to riches they must open their economies to foreign competition. They are being conned.
Almost every rich nation has industrialised with the help of one of two mechanisms now prohibited by the rules of global trade. The first is "infant industry protection": defending new industries from foreign competition until they are big enough to compete on equal terms. The second is the theft of intellectual property. History suggests that technological development may be impossible without one or both.
It seems the US and Britain were quite ruthless in their "infant industry protection".
Shame the article is locked up in the closed New Scientist archive. Great resource, well worth the subscription cost.
I'm using IDEA by IntelliJ, which is excellent, but they are getting a bit expensive, they just jacked the price up quite severely you don't even get point upgrades unless you buy a years subscription.
Anyhow, it looks like Eclipse is catching up very fast, has anyone used IDEA and the latest Eclipse? Can anyone comment on how they compare?

Thanks for the link. I listen to most things like this whilst driving to work, but of course, I don't have realplayer in my car, just a CD mp3 player.
I use this script to convert realplayer stuff into mp3's, which gives me heaps of stuff to listen to on the way to work. vsound will convert ANYTHING played on/dev/dsp into a sox stream.
why are we so arrogant to believe that in one generation we can solve what thousands of years of natural evolution could not?
Natural selection is not based on what the species want, it is based on what the species needs for optimum long term breeding. Using contraception is in some ways just as arrogant as genetic engineering. Sex was made fun and very desirable to make us breed, yet we put on a condom or take the pill, and play. DNA does not care about the individual, just spreading the genes, we are just the vessel. We as both a species and as individuals, have different goals to natural selection. Natural selection would have us breeding until we killed the planet (as would the pope for that matter!). We have evolved to take control. That is our evolutionary 'gift', we are the toolmaker. IMHO, all our technology and uses of it are natural, as we have evolved naturally to be like this. --- Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves. -George Gordon Noel Byron (1788-1824), [Lord Byron]
Unfortunatly, Australia's constitution has no provision for free speech (such as the US constitution). This makes it much harder to fight such legislation (particularly the net censorship).

I have a PalmPilot Professional, with the Palm III upgrade, and it has at least 10 feet transmission length. I have the upgrade card gives much better transmission of IR. So if you can get a old palm (pre III), and an upgrade card, you should get good enough IR for a remote.
