Not much. Installing MythTV (which many people may want to do), however, is another matter entirely.
Never heard of it honestly. I did look it up, looks like a interesting project. The installation instructions looked a bit messy for Ubuntu based distros, however the dedicated distributions to the task didn't seem messy upon first glance
The closest thing I can think of that exists that I can compare against in the world that is similar is Sky's Sky+ package and TiVo. I'm not aware of other solutions (hey, I just heard of mythtv -- although I'm not really interested in anything like that). Although by comparison, Sky+ and TiVo come with a operating system setup and preconfigured for the hardware they come on. So it seems more like apples and oranges to me.
I'm pretty sure the installation can be improved, but then again, this software hasn't reached version one yet. So you can't expect it to be ready yet.
You're right. We shouldn't give people the ability to learn how to edit movies, record music, author DVDs, etc.
Don't put words into my mouth. I was only disputing your claims of what most people 'just want'.
There is however an audio recording function built into the Mac version of Word so you can record the lecture as you take notes...
I fail to see how that's integrated into 'every major part of the OS'. Sounds just like a Word feature to me.
Here are the security advisories for IIS6 and Apache2, since 2003 (the year that IIS6 was released)
I was speaking of which webserver gets exploited the most, not which specific version of the webserver has the most/least exploits. Seeing how I still get on average around 60 unique hits a day on my webserver from JUST codered doesn't exactly tell me things are alright now either (is that crap ever going to go away?).
Thanks for providing us with a list of the weakest arguments that the aformentioned FF fanbois are using...
Okay -- you win, a crash is a exploit.
Are you seriously not smart enough to figure this out
In my mind, I think you would call him a 'O fanboi', which would be the reason why.
or are you trying to prove somehow that opera isn't any better than FF because links is more secure than both?
I only pointed out by the person's own logic, if he was truly motivated by using a secure browser, he'd probably be using links. I have no idea which (Firefox or Opera) is more secure in reality, however neither of them have let me down in that aspect.
jeez... "A is not as good as B, but B is not as good as C either.... so I just use A"
That's nice.
Why don't YOU use links?
I stated my reasons, perhaps you should read more carefully. I'll quote myself for you since you managed to miss it: however I use Firefox (not always official mozilla builds) primarily because it runs on all the architectures I use. That includes PPC and ARM. It runs on most of the operating systems I use (unfortunately not on AmigaOS though). Also other browsers lack really important functions I need.
As you can see, my motivation for using Firefox wasn't for security alone.
I'm pretty sure the GP wouldn't claim this as their logic.
That was the logic they disclosed for choosing a browser: We should use the most bug free and exploit free browser.
Don't give me the crap by saying IE has lot of users so the attackers target IE.
Alright, netcraft showed that Apache was the dominant webserver, yet the webserver that gets exploited the most is IIS -- This could be the case with other Microsoft software if they were put into that situation.
While it may be true, a common security analyser like Secunia.com has identified fewest bugs in Opera compared to FF and IE.
They've identified even fewer in Links.
and yet the slashdot crowd is so much in love with FF.
I can't speak for Slashdot, however I use Firefox (not always official mozilla builds) primarily because it runs on all the architectures I use. That includes PPC and ARM. It runs on most of the operating systems I use (unfortunately not on AmigaOS though). Also other browsers lack really important functions I need.
and look at the comments above from FF fanboys, they just keep writing suggestions and saying how it is not a flaw.
I see people saying it isn't a exploit. But rather something that causes a crash. A exploit meaning, "A hardware or software vulnerability that can be 'exploited' by a hacker to gain access to a system or service."
If the posting had IE instead of FF, we would've seen hundreds of posts scolding IE and Bill.
Could you show me a Slashdot article about a bug that causes IE to crash, no exploits. Just for comparison please.
Talk about hypocrisy.
Using your own logic, why aren't you using Links anyway? It's "the browser with fewest bugs/security holes".
None, except that TV sets wear out, and when the time comes to buy the next one you might as well go high-def.
I've noticed high-definition TVs have blocky/ugly/stretched pictures when they show the local stations. Can't say I'm interested in getting one because of that alone. They're also more expensive than what's considered here, 'normal' TVs.
So by your logic, MSFT has a monopoly on Xbox, Sony has a monopoly on PS and PS/2 and Nintendo has a monopoly on GameCube.
First of all, this was a joke and no, those don't actually fit into my logic. Microsoft did not do xbox vs video game console stuff, claiming they were different from a 'video game console', neither did Nintendo.
Do you expect to have interoperability between game consoles as well?
Whats this open source technology thats better then Spotlight?
A Mac user told me they preferred Kerry. As for technically better -- hm. I believe Beagle supports more formats than Spotlight, additionally it's supposed to give very little impact on the system if it's setup that way (depends on what defaults your distribution chose).
Spotlight has a slight superiority in being able to use certain meta-data, but as identified by others, it's a bit pointless without useful boolean functions in Spotlight's search.
But, do you really think OS X is going to run better on non-Apple hardware??
Depending on exactly which hardware it's on too (there is also worse hardware than Apple's out there after all). Provided it was on decent hardware and has the proper drivers for that hardware, it probably would (I wouldn't be plagued by those weird noises either!).
I used the instructions from here and experienced zero problems. Worked perfectly
I am amazed how many people are reporting problems on here though, the #kubuntu channel on freenode hasn't exactly been getting that many people with upgrade problems either.
Do you have any evidence that Apple is using TPM to restrict your rights on new Intel Macs?
Yes. I noticed they did some lovely design with TPM to try to make sure their OS only runs on their new Intel Macs. I see that as a restriction of rights imposed on the new Intel Macs.
1) Why couldn't you write a script to do this in MacOS X?
I couldn't find any information on how todo certain things on MacOSX (if they are possible at all). Such as executing a script when the Ethernet card detects a link, before bringing it up. So no, I couldn't.
2) Why would you need a script to do this? (Spoken as a Mac user who's used to network connections working pretty much like that automagically)
Because I have not seen the option to-do this. Replicating things like the settings assigned from DHCP to the other network cards -- no didn't see the tick-box option. Feel free to show me where the switch is though.

I don't think you understand the seriousness of this situation.
Filter -> Adjust -> Brightness/Contrast... I don't think there are any for 1.6 yet, but you could try reading the handbook [F1] in the meantime.

You can get the latest version of Krita under Edgy by adding these lines to your sources.list:
I heard many people liked Sodipodi over Karbon.
Note: You can control how big the thumbnails are too.
It's within the realm of possibility.
I think this would be a better pumpkin to have voice synth honestly... What the heck is scary about a Apple computer pumpkin? It went sour on you?

Don't they have 100% marketshare of Macs?
After all, Macs aren't PCs apparently.
