JavaHMO (and TiVo's HMO for that matter) support mp3 playback from a shared network drive, but I still can't point my TiVo at a folder of mpg, divx, xvid, etc. out on the network and watch them. I love my TiVo, but it's no Xbox Media Center.
I used to live in Richfield, MN and all the liquor stores in that town required you to present ID so they could swipe it. I saw them ask a man obviously in his 60s for ID so they could swipe it. The cashier claimed that she couldn't open the register without it.
Right next to the register there was a sign that read, "Card reader only verifies your age. No personal information is collected when swiping your driver's license." Kind of makes you wonder though...
As other have mentioned here, they may only search for files that match hashes of copyrighted content out there on p2p networks. If you rip your own CDs, what are the odds that your ripped copy is identical to what they're searching for?
I think it's used for preserving meats. When I was too young to be doing this stuff we "obtained" a canister of potassium nitrate from my school's chemistry lab and created something similar. We didn't melt the sugar and potassium nitrate together though -- I guess we weren't very good at reading the recipe I got from the local BBS.
We put the stirred mixture in a large glass mug and placed it out on a frozen pond by where we lived. When we lit it up it had a really cool purple flame and burned for quite a while. There was a lot of smoke... When it was out we went to look at what was left and there was nothing. It had melted the glass as it burned down to the ice.
I loved my Capsela set too. Somehow what really sticks in my memory is pulling those plastic connectors off the capsules with my teeth when they got stuck.
This reminds me of the days when I couldn't play MP3s without using downmix mode. It seemed like it was going to take forever to get an affordable CPU that could decode MP3s in realtime.
"If you do have problems on a 3k AMD, get an NVidia card that supports all XvMC optimization"
This reminds me of hardware MPEG decoders people used to need. It will be done in software, all in good time...
Novell is in the process of porting their NSS filesystem to Linux, which I believe will then include Novell's excellent salvage functionality. Yet another filesystem...I also head from a Novell rep that NSS for Linux was not going to be GPLed, initially anyway.
Reminds me of the scene from Fight Club. Replace "cars" with "xboxes".
A (Number of cars in the field) x B (Probable rate of failure) x C (Average out of court settlement) = X. If X is less than the cost of a recall then we don't do one.
I've never heard of an XBox catching fire, but I'm sure some version of this equation is applied to these situations.
A department at the University I work at were given a number of SunRays. I was in the Citrix business at the time, and they had me set up a Citrix server with PhotoShop of all things, and they planned to use their SunRays with a Citrix client pointing at my server to do PhotoShop training. All of this was done with hardware they had "laying around", so they wouldn't pay for the Citrix feature pack that allowed higher color depths than 256 colors.
I don't think people were too impressed with PhotoShop at 256 colors. The Sunrays sit and do nothing to this day as far as I know.
One thing about Firefox drives me crazy. Many of you may call me crazy for saying this, but I really miss the "Open" option when downloading executable file types. I think there should be an option (bury it deep in the preferences, leave it off by default) to allow me to un-grey the Open box when I try to download a.exe. I know what I'm doing, and if I get stung, my fault.
The comparison between "Shared Source" and "Open Source" reminds me of the not-so-subtle difference between "hacker" and "cracker".
The media (amongst others) will pick one and then the two terms become one in the same in the eyes of everyone except the geek sector. We end up looking like we're quibbling over the semantics of two things that most people will consider to be identical. For example, "I can see the code, what's the difference?"
Home PC users will have to migrate to Linux within 6-12 months
You, my friend, are a cockeyed optimist. You believe these worms will lead to Billy (Gates) Mumfrie's downfall? I think this post is about unbridaled enthusiasm for Linux.
It's not flamebait...sometimes those Seinfeld quotes just stick in your head.
I can second this. For the people saying "This is a beta", he's talking about SuSE 9, not 9.1. I had exactly the same problem. I ended up hand-editing XF86Config...which then broke again when YaST ran. I love SuSE, and use it every day, but this is definately a bug. If it's a bug with KDE, SuSE could recognize that and work around it.
As long as we're throwing out Richard names...Here's two school teachers' names from the district I was in growing up:
Richard Strokirch
Richard Harden
If you stayed after school, once in a while you'd hear them say something like "Dick Stroker, you have a call in the front office...Dick Stroker, a call in the office."

I agree, but idealism aside, I'll gladly provide upstream bandwidth if it means I can download at 400K/s instead of 12K/s.

You people with your kyu and your gup. My car gets forty rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it!

I was sad to recognize every last one of these from my own collection.

Good times...

You have a strange definition of fine!
You there, you must be almost thirty. Have you ever kissed a girl?
Thanks for pointing out the obvious...Wait, what now?

Didn't Kramer from Seinfeld try this? If memory servers me, he ended up in the Hudson in a sack.
Indeed, this would be the height of convenience, and the practice is sure to be adopted by the masses!

I remember hearing this long before x86 was as fast as it is today.
There's also no way we'll ever be able to push more than 9600bps through our dialup modems...
