I use Groove IP. It does integrate with the native dialer if you get the paid version ($5). I use it as my only phone number. Works great as long as I have a (stable!) wifi connection.
Ben Krasnow (Youtube videos) has done some insanely cool DIY projects, like an electron microscope, LED-in-contact-lens, and aerogel. No idea what he's working on at valve, but it's got to be interesting...
"Due to the highly sensitive nature of the markets that our products serve, AS&E respects the individual requests of our customers to be confidential," the company says
So, let me get this straight... only people that have $800,000 or so to spend on these nifty trucks deserve privacy?
This sounds somewhat like what Brandon Sanderson described in his Mistborn books. If you were "mistborn", you could (after "burning" certain metals) see blue lines extending from yourself to metal objects around you, which you could then pull or push away from you.
Overall, they were pretty good books. I'd recommended them.
I think TiVo's underlying problem is that they try to please two very different groups: people who watch TV, and the content producers / cable companies. If they'd just pick one (even if it's not consumers), they'd have a more focused vision and would likely be more successful.
I 2nd this. DirecTV's customer service has been some of the best of any company I've ever dealt with, right up there with Tivo. Comparing their customer service with my local cable co., Charter, is just laughable. My only real complaint is that you need line of site to their satellites (I live in a fairly wooded area), but that's just the nature of their tech.
Maybe it's because I was raised Catholic, but I can't see how the question of what happens to religion if/when we discover intelligent alien life to be that funny... darn interesting maybe... but funny? Surely there's some good scifi out there about this very issue.
Konqueror has had this ability since, well, forever. I guess it was "free" since it's also a file manager, and having split panels is quite common there.
I've used Zope a bit (which is Python based, see zope.org), but haven't touched Ruby or Rails yet. This seems to be an alternative to an object-relational mapper for Rails. Since Zope has used an object database from day 1 (iirc), I'd tend to think it would be better and/or cleaner.
Anyone that's used both care to compare the two?
Umm, not to sound like a tech jargon-nazi, but "frame buffer" to me has always meant just the part of video ram that "mirrors" what you see on screen. A 1GB frame buffer would give you 16384x16384x32bit color, so unless you're doing some kind of huge multi-screen setup, 1GB of frame buffer is a bit overkill.;)
Ehh, I can play 720p h.264 video just fine on my lowly Athlon 2600+. I did have to do a custom compile of MPlayer to get it to work properly, and the CPU isn't doing any audio decoding (I use digital out connected to my receiver, which decodes AC3 & DTS). But it works just fine. Now 1080p, there's just no way.;)
It's running a pretty stock install of OpenSuse 10.2.

Do you have any advice for keeping a positive attitude in this screwed-up world of government surveillance, software patents, and DRM?

Wow. I even double checked it. That's what I get for posting right after waking up.
Nope, no bubble here! All photo filter apps are worth $1,000,000!

As the submitter, I have to say: Yes. :P
blog post 1 and blog post 2.
Enjoy.
This is seriously cool.

Haha. But wait... why is there a 192GB limit? Shouldn't it be much higher? Wikipedia says that it should be at least 256 TB.

"just about anything I could say that would be accurate and honest would do more harm than good"? I'm gonna guess he wasn't a fan of the merger....
This is just awesome and funny.

Here's a list of their artists, since I'm sure not many people know (or care) what label has which artist.
This guy is just absolutely nuts. Biggest Luddite I've ever seen.

LOL. Living in the NOLA area, I thought I must have already opened a tab to WWL... nope, it was just the hot grits link...

If true, then that's awesome. You have a source for that info?

Worked for me. Here ya go. It's beta, but so far I've had no problems with it. (Running Mepis 6)
