I wonder though about that other AppleTV mod that added functionality only if the thumb drive was attached was affected by the 2.3 update; disconnect the USB drive and the AppleTV is back to normal. If only I could remember what mod that was...
Ah, apparently I needed to search GeekBrief.TV with "Apple TV" instead of "AppleTV" to find reference to aTV Flash. It too was affected and they also have an update that works with Apple TV 2.3.
The software can be easily removed at any time, and will NOT void your warranty.
Key Features:
Play additional video formats such as DivX, Xvid, AVI, WMV, RMVB & more
Play DVD files WITHOUT converting them (includes menu & special feature support)
Surf the web with a Safari based web browser
Create video playlists with loop and shuffle support
Easily enable external USB hard drive storage
Enable FTP, SFTP and SSH access
Install other Mac OS X applications like Firefox, and EyeTV
Restore synced media from Apple TV in the event of a hard drive failure
The other issue with the AppleTV is that you still need to hack it just like the Xbox. There was a Boxee installer for it; however, shortly after release an update magically came out that updated the system if you had automatic updates enabled. This updated the OS, removed Boxee and closed the hole they used to install it. That's not exactly the open platform I'm looking to run as my media frontend IMO.
I was thinking along those same lines, but I also did some searching and discovered that Boxee has a new installer for installation on AppleTV 2.3. It has two bugs right now, but there appear to be workarounds for them, and an updated installer is in the works to address at least one of them if not both.
Of course, everyone running Boxee on AppleTV will be turning off automatic updates and will be watching carefully for reports if another update disables it again. How Apple responds to the workaround will determine if they truly intended to cut out Boxee.

For best results I'd wait till after the MacWorld San Francisco, in January, since it is extremely likely that Apple will update the MacMini hardware (greatly, considering it hasn't been updated since Aug 2007).
Or announce the end of the product line and lower the price on the remaining inventory. Both eventualities are worth the wait.
Not quite right. You need to register to start the clock for statutory damages. If Apple now wakes up and registers, they can go for statutory on infringement afterward.
But surely only for infringement occurring after the registration. The current case would still be thrown out.
I wonder if one should quickly start installing Leopard on as many machines as one can before the registration hits.
I sense a great disturbance in the World of Warcraft, like millions of Sin'dorei crying out and suddenly being silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.
You know, if you could create a level which allows you to create a level inside it (in a way that lets users send a recorded data stream) you could get around the level banning.
Some of the most educated people I know are complete idiots. Some of the most undereducated people I know are freaking geniuses.
I know a 17 year old Kid that knows more about automotive engineering than all of the engineers that work at GM combined.
You been telling me you're a genius since you were 17. In all the time I've known you I still don't know what you mean. The weekend at the college didn't turn out like you planned. The things that pass for knowledge I can't understand.
Although with a large stored word dictionary, you can patch sentences together. That would probably work for Majel.
Well, for a computer's voice, she's already said pretty much all of the complete phrases you're going to need for a starship's computer without resorting to splicing ("Warning: outer hull breach"). You'll still want to pull them from the original recordings though rather than the final episodes so that there's no unwanted background noise to eliminate.
A problem though is how a voice changes over time, and especially how the computer's voice sounded over time, from a harsh monotone in TOS (except for, "Computed, dear...") to the last TNG movies and Voyager episodes. That is exacerbated when you are splicing dialogue together.

Either the students will own them or they will 0wn them. With the hardware in their possession in uncontrolled environments, they can do anything with it.
Choose the path that leaves the school with the least responsibility: secure your network. If students sneakernet disruptive content into school and actually disrupt the school with it, treat it like any other contraband. Do not subject the students to random data searches; instead search only upon reasonable suspicion and discipline only when they get caught. Don't use the laptop to spy on the students either by camera or microphone.
When teachers become wardens the students only learn resentment. Zero tolerance will not be tolerated by the student body.
I read Slashdot today, oh boy Four thousand holes in ecofont sans serif And though the holes were very small They had to count them all Now they know how many holes it takes to fill "the Albert Hall" I'd love to turn you on
Wow. Thank you. That was... well, that was very informative, and you deserve to be moderated thus. I think I'm going to give this MacFUSE a try tonight!
I imagine one could use this to reproduce the abilities of AnyDVD and AnyDVD HD, but for non-Windows users. But could it also be used to bring UDF 2.5 and 2.6 support to Mac OS X Tiger? (ReadDVD! doesn't work.)

I thought it was "Be Back Quick".
More people need to know about acronym finder. Especially the people coining new acronyms.

Shouldn't the story title contain the word "alleged"? As of this posting it does not.
The device is said to have a weight of 281.56 pound including the box and all hardware.
So, about the weight of an adult American.
(IAAA.)

I love the RIAA information minister!
Maybe it's just me, but when someone uses the word "specific" I expect that person to be specific and not all encompassing.
Could they not have picked a better acronym?
Tell me about it.

I will assume this specific dodge is a sign of terrible things to come.
You didn't quote anything nor did you respond to any particular posting.
A diameter of only 6.9 cm? That's a lot smaller than I imagined.
Can I put one of these on the floor of my garage and charge my car when I park at night?
If you put them in all the streets, I can have my gang of roving classic Daleks!

Why not? They named the first space shuttle Enterprise.
Which never went into space. Its only flights were in the atmosphere.

Yeah, but at exterior dimensions of around 35'x25'x13', its hardly portable.

you did not destroy them enough. I can still read them.
melt them in a smelter. only way.
No, you need to take off and nuke the drives from orbit. That's the only way to be sure. Turn them into a cloud of vapor the size of Nebraska.
