This is exactly how I use it - recorded OTA television (no cable) and video files with MythTV, and then Netflix in Virtualbox, and Amarok for music. This results in more TV than I have time to watch anyway.
Noticed there was a long delay, but I have no speakers at work, so couldn't hear an explanation.
TIA.
Sounded like they said the sensor noting retraction of the cone dome thing wasn't working so they had to verify visually (that was the camera 62 shot).
because, seriously.
Wikipedia is not the reference to end all references. If some dummy changes it and it's wrong, either someone will change it back, or (hopefully) the avalanche of other sources on Paul Revere will remain correct.
I still have a VIC-20 and tape drive. Recently while listening to my cassette copy of the 1812 Overture, I realized that for some reason, when I was a kid, I had saved a BASIC program in the blank space occurring after the music on one side of the tape. I haven't tried to restore it, but the tape is in good shape, and there doesn't seem to be anything preventing reloading the program from tape. I'm guessing it dates from 1984. I have a lot of floppies from the late 80s that I'm sure are still readable, if I can find a working drive.
And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we've proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
If I ever get filthy rich, I'm going to buy a new car. Then, I'm going to buy a Delta 4 rocket and launch my old Mercedes into high orbit. Why? because it would be awesome.
> And your typical home user won't want it.
Wrong. I have a very large family, most of whom are very typical home users, mostly computer illiterate - web, email, videos, and the occasional spreadsheet. My mother wants to surf the net, check her email, watch news video and view whatever pictures and video kids send her. She was always getting viruses on her Windows XP box, and after years of trying to keep her up and running I finally installed Firefox to get her used to the browser, and then a while later installed Ubuntu. I used a theme similar to XP, she loved it, and my workload dropped about 90%. She doesn't know Linux from Windows from a bag of frogs, and doesn't care as long as it works.
It wasn't caused by two characters, it was caused by the automatic command recognition on the receiving host - typing "LO" listed all the commands that started with those letters, and that caused the overflow.
It's got something like 900,000 pages on the clock. It works with Linux, except for the duplexer. Toner is $40 for a aftermarket cartridge, and the last one I bought lasted three years. My printing habits have changed drastically though, and it's so big and uses so much power that I am probably going to sell it soon. but i feel I've kept about a thousand inkjet cartridges and ten or fifteen printers out of a landfill.
I use Ampache to stream my CD collection. The fact that I own it, and can choose what I want to listen to, beats streaming where the right to listen at any given time can be revoked.
Just theoretically, what if a station played only music in the public domain? Would they have to cough up the minimum payment? I'm curious whether the fee is for playing music over the internet, or for playing copyrighted music over the internet.
Black rotary phone, 1952, still works on pulse dial (if you time it right, you can dial it with the switchhook). Didn't ring, but figured how to rewire it thanks to the Internet, now it RIIINNNGGSS when I get a call.
I also have a Powerbook 140, with a working modem...i need to find a SCSI ethernet adapter and it will surf the net with Netscape 1.1.
I have a Newton, too, I heard those were networkable.
I have a TI-99/4a, I think it has a modem packed with it. I need to dig that out and see what it can do.
Last but not least, Commodore VIC-20, and I know modems were made for those because it says so on the box but I haven't been able to track one down yet.
I never looked into the Blockbuster plan, but if you were able to exchange mailers for movies in the store AND get the next mailers, it kinda sounds like double-dipping. Someone probably overlooked that little detail when writing up the procedure.
A formal agreement is just window dressing. You need to make sure you have controls in place to properly approve access, periodically review access to ensure appropriateness, and remove it in a timely fashion for terminated employees.

It's a long road back to 1998 or 1999 when I first started reading Slashdot. You'll do well in whatever you put your mind to.

I am fond of that distribution - any word on whether it will still be maintained?

But wait, isn't Netflix already paying for their outbound bandwidth?

I'm still using my 20-year-old LaserJet IIIsi.
Great book about salvaging the S-51, in 1926.

It always worked on my iphone too, through Beejive.

Will it be possible to watch through binoculars or a telescope?
Maybe Slashdot should start a used tech market...like Ebay used to be in 1998 or so. God knows this place would be a gold mine of cool junk.

There is a nifty-gadget aspect of placing devices on a table and having them charge auto-magically, but for the most part wireless power is a waste.
Nifty, gadgety, and USEFUL. Charging is not the only option here.
