Seriously? How is it a static IP change requires a reboot but a DHCPed one doesn't. Just proves that Linux is more modular than Windows. ifconfig is used by the dhcp client program to set the ip in Linux.. and it's also used to set the static ip. ifconfig does one job and does it well. Oh well..
Get yourself a $50 BTTV capture card to fit alongside that one and you can line-double regular analog sources for your Barco as well with Dscaler, it's Free Software that turns your PC into a high end line doubler.
Yes, in fact check out Dscaler. It turns a $50 bttv capture card and a PC into a high end line doubler. Check out the screenshots. You can make regular DirecTV/Digital Cable/Laserdisc/VHS etc look much better by piping it through something like this.

Well, actually in thier tests they are comparing Dscaler to WinDVD, a software DVD player.
I was under the impression that DVD MPEG-2 video was non-interlaced on the actual disc, and it gets converted to interlaced to be output to a composite video signal... Why on earth would they have made it interlaced???

This is Free Software (GPL'd) that can turn a computer with a $50 Bttv capture card into a high end line doubler with 3:2 pulldown! It's windows only at the moment, but I'm hoping someone will port this to Linux soon.
Basically with this, the guy in the article could have piped his normal cable and/or regular DirecTV into his HDTV set and had an excellent picture, especially on material that was originally shot on film. Check out the website for some screenshots of line doubling Laserdiscs and VHS tapes... There is even a contest to see if you can tell the difference between line doubled DVD and Progressive scan DVD!
BTW, the project needs developers, I would especially like to see an industrious Linux programmer port this puppy over to Linux:)

When will IBM consider releasing the source code to several of the closed source drivers needed to use networking on the S/390-zSeries Linux port? The OSA Ethernet card driver (lcs) is closed source, this makes using the latest greatest Linux kernels (like Alan Cox's kernels) useless to people who use the OSA card as a connection to thier network. Until the source for this driver is released, I can't take "Peace, Love, and Linux" very seriously...
The problem with this argument that BSDer's use so often is that someone can take your BSD'ed webserver, and your BSD'd browser, and use it to "embrace and extend" web browsing by making closed modifications that make your "free" code incompatible. If the proprietary version gains in populartity then you might be locked out of certain web sites etc. In fact this has ALREADY happened. Mosaic was Free software under a BSDish license. Spyglass used it to build a proprietary web browser, then Microsoft bought it and turned it into Internet Explorer. Now many web sites are only viewable under Windows under IE. This is getting worse all the time.
If Mosaic had been GPL'd, they would have had to do alot more work from scratch. Mosaic would have improved, and probably would still exist nowdays...
I quote from the libdvdcss page (BTW, the Link has magically disappeared from the slashdot article.. is/. afraid of being the next in line behind 2600 for linking to DeCSS?)
"libdvdcss is a simple library designed for accessing DVDs like a block device without having to bother about the decryption."
That makes it sound like it does it without decrypting.
To all who think IBM isn't making money on Linux....
IBM S/390 sales have increased because of Linux S/390. Also, in order to take advantage of Linux on S/390 properly, you must purchase VM.. a proprietary closed source operating system with large license fees.
Duh, I'm sure CmdrTaco used the Slashcode story editting page to input the story and not Composer. Did you use your editor to input your comment and then ftp some HTML to slashdot? I didn't think so.

You must run windows. There are OSes where you don't have to reboot in order to get a new IP address.
I was basing my comment on what the previous poster said about rebooting, I haven't used the Code Red patch, because I don't run Windows.
So don't complain at me, I'm not the one scheduling reboots of servers.
The /REALLY/ sad thing is that patching a web server APPLICATION requires you to REBOOT the OPERATING SYSTEM!

Can anyone explain in simple terms how this works? I don't see how you can decrypt the movie with er.. decrypting the movie.
I wonder how long will it be before Microsoft uses this and DeCSS as an example of how open source "threatens intellectual property"?
Aren't most of these in the public domain anyway? How can MediaBay sue for "copyright" infringement when they sell public domain radio programs?

Just on a whim I went to redhat's site... click on this link.. it worked for me
Interview
Can someone point out a direct URL to the pnm:// stream? Either that or something more direct.
The site as is does not work in Netscape 4.72 + Javascript + Realplayer 8 + Linux
Try this link
Yes, I went, and the javascript on that site is broken here in Netscape 4.72, Mozilla and Konqueror.
What's up with that?
That's nice, but it still doesn't work when I click on the "Watch this" links.
Tried Netscape, Mozilla and Konqueror..
No go.
