Once the RIAA really caught wind of what was going on they started flooding it with "cuckoo eggs". Before that, most of the files were intact (although they were at 128kbits. Broadband wasn't so common...)
It's far faster than VNC -- think how X runs over a 100mbit network except over, NX gives that performance over a 1.5mbit DSL connection. It is still tolerable at 56k (more so than VNC, in my own experience).
(By the way, it is actually just connecting to your X server with nxproxy over an SSH link.)
Just to clear things up, this is no problem for NoMachine at all -- NoMachine has released the core components as GPL -- the only non-GPL parts of NX are the client software GUI,, which simplifies the setup of basically (under Windows) cygwin ssh + X + nxproxy, and under Linux, just a GUI for ssh+ X + nxproxy.
NX is even mildly supportive of an open-source complete solution -- on the source download page (their site is./'ed right now) it clearly says something to the effect that they expect a community-created packages will be assembled.
Assuming you aren't trolling, Canadian legal procedures are much like the States (AFAIK), where in a civil case the person more likely to be right wins, and (as in almost any free country) in a criminal case, you are innocent until proven guilty.
The only time this is slightly different is under Canada's new (and highly controversial) anti-terrorism laws, which allow police to hold people without charges (much like the new American laws -- PATRIOT act?). This act is falling apart at the seams, as the courts have recently decided that another part of it (secret court hearings) is illegal.
I am Canadian. Much like in the States, yes, whichever side is more likely to be right wins in a civil case. In a criminal case, you are innocent until proven guilty.
I haven't any idea were the comment came from in the/. summary.
Apt configuration is nowhere near as straightforward as apt config in Fedora or Debian or urpmi config in Mandrake.
There is only one repository, which collects RPMS from various sites like Packman, and is mirrored (partially) by only two or three sites.
When you run apt under Suse, it insists on upgrading almost every package
The documentation on the APT for Suse website is shit and completely confusing.
When I had SuSE 9.1 Pro installed (and tried to install apt) it depended on some obscure RPM that was not included on the SuSE CD's, and was not available from the APT for SuSE website (hopefully they fixed this.)
Apt for SuSE barely works.
I should've phrased my YaST comment better. YaST seems to have the capability to use online repositories like APT to automatically download dependancies, however it is poorly documentated, and, well, there aren't any repositories.
I dropped the DVD in and everything *everything* I needed was there and ready to use. Even things like my Wifi network worked without any configuration and it played every video/music file I tried to open.
You didn't try many them; SuSE can not play DVD, Divx, or Xvid files out of the box.
It's a bitch to add, too, because SuSE has nothing like apt-get or urpmi. (Well, there is a weak kind of dependancy-checker in YaST and YoU, but there are no 3rd-party repositories to automatically download from. Apt4rpm for SuSE barely works. All of the third-party SuSE rpms have to be downloaded manually off the web.)
I haven't trived the iuLabs drivers, so I can't say.
In my experience, capture under PC (esp. Windows) doesn't really work well with consumer-level products -- you either need a professional video editing package or a Mac with firewire. YMMV.
If it is a bt848/bt878 card (most are), the open source btwincap drivers will work best -- they are based on the reference code from Brooktree.
Black and white image is likely because the TV standard is not set properly (PAL in Europe, NTSC in North America).
But yes, I agree.. video capture blows under Windows. It is even possible under Windows NT/2K/XP to fuck things up badly enough that you have to restart to get it to capture again.

I can answer those:
1) Use manual exposure and find an okay medium ground; it is tricky when you are shooting a room with a big window or something that makes things go way out of whack. You can also take one overexposed and one underexposed image in the case of something like window and then composite them together with Photoshop.
2) Not a problem. Panorama software is designed for exactly this. You can actually buy ridiculously fisheye lenses to do panoramas in just a few shots. You feed it all your images, (depending on the program) specify your camera or focal length, and it automagically unwarps the images and figures out how to stich them automatically. Normally, it is viewed with viewing software or a java applet which projects the image onto a cylinder to display final image properly.
If I misinterpreted that and you are getting warped images after using panorama software (the images it tries to stich together get warped out of shape), the focal length is not right.
The Panorama Factory is one of the best programs for stiching panoramas, fully automatic.

Oops. You're right. Appearantly, the Samba team hasn't quite figured exactly how the Domain controller works, yet. It's supposedly very complicated.
Short answer: No. Well, maybe if you have a copy of OS/2, but it doesn't really work well.
Samba 3 IS capable of doing it, but it is a massive pain in the ass and is rather complicated.
If anyone can make it quick and easy, it's Apple...
Windows has no included or FREE MJPEG codecs (I was at a Windows box with only Windows Media Player at the time).
I can't seem to open the AVI file -- what codec is used for the video?

Sorry.
Oh.. wait..
Speeds in metric are specificed as a rate: 100 km/h.
One might say that the house 5 kilometres down the road has a 40 foot driveway ;).
Kind of silly, but I see what they were getting at.
Well, you can start by getting rid of Clippy, and -- oh, wait....

I have used it myself and have discovered that the included xine does not have support compiled in for Divx.
It's not just me.
It's only the demo version (it watermarks the video). And it doesn't capture.
Rekall is a demo version too.
