  1. XM Radio in Australia? on Associated Press Not Impressed By MyFi · · Score: 1

    Anybody know if this is possible, even with modified equipment?

    I know the service is sold only to those in the US; however, news articles I read seem to indicate that it could be picked up (at least, at some point) from Perth:

    I'm in Adelaide, FYI.

  2. Re:yeah, if I had money ;) on Zaurus Sharp SL-C3000 Tested, Converted to English · · Score: 1

    Cheers for this, runs nicely now in 640x480. BASS works!

  3. Anybody else find it amusing on Time Lapse of Lunar Eclipse · · Score: 1

    That 80% of the posts here are on mirroring the movie, how slow the downloads are, et al, instead of the actual content?

  4. Re:yeah, if I had money ;) on Zaurus Sharp SL-C3000 Tested, Converted to English · · Score: 1

    Mind pointing out which libs exactly - I'm assuming SDL-related? Somebody really needs to maintain a feed purely for Cacko/Sharp ROMS, for the 640x480 series Z's. Having packages for every damn ROM in the same feed results in a horrible mess of dependencies.

  5. Re:Looks cool on Zaurus Sharp SL-C3000 Tested, Converted to English · · Score: 1

    Conics/Brett (the guy who posted) sells them; I think this Slashdot post is partially a plug, too :-) Ordered stuff off him myself, incredibly helpful, arrived promptly, so strongly recommended.

    How the hell do you use ScummVM in 640x480? I've got a SL-C860, and ScummVM only runs in the older Zaurus res.

  7. Re:My solution: Andromeda on Centrally-Controlled Home Music System on a Budget? · · Score: 1

    I think I used your software a number of years ago, but wasn't it free then? I do remember it being quite good, though.

  8. Re:Videos but no transcripts? on Linux.Conf.Au 2004 Videos Released · · Score: 1

    try http://www.linux.org.au/conf/2004/abstracts.html#4 Where was that URL referenced, BTW? That's the old URL.

  9. Re:Linux Conference produced on proprietary softwa on Linux.Conf.Au 2004 Videos Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There are plenty of open source software options available today that would have allowed the production of these videos.

    I would have loved to use Linux software/hardware, but you show me options back in January that handled multitrack, very large amounts of video without crashing and dying, and needing for me to do cartwheels to achieve simple edits. I spent months researching this stuff, and it really boiled down to the fact that to get something out there, and for it to actually be reliable, and for me not to spend lifetimes editing single videos, this was the better choice IMHO. Kino, for example, doesn't handle large video well at all (at least, in my experiences).

    There have been some recent developments that look promising which hopefully will be mature for use in LCA2005. This isn't a case of choosing Apple over Linux for religious reasons; it's just an area where the open source offerings still need to mature.

  10. Windows Licenses on Developing Open Source Defense Projects · · Score: 1

    Wonder what'd happen if one chose Windows as a deployment OS for missiles. Can they re-use their licenses once older missiles are used? :-)

  11. Somebody loved their Nintendos on Anatomy Of 2D Side-Scroller Lecturer Picks Favorites · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Aw, almost everything there is NES/SNES. Given, there were some awesome scrollers on the console, but what about such classics such as the Sonic series on other platforms?

  12. Re:Linux Changelog Email Publishing on Linux 2.6.5 is Released · · Score: 1

    If you run your own domain, just setup a catch all or a dedicated account for your usage where your email address will be displayed publically; kernel+development@mydomain.com, for example. You can then filter, or if things get really bad, completely block any email coming in through on it.

  13. Official LCA video of the dunking on Linux Conf 2004 Gives in Many Ways · · Score: 1

    ... is available here, in MP4 format - should play in most media players, ffmpeg has supported it for ages. Feedback on how the file plays is great, as it's the same format I'm proposing to use for all the LCA talks to go on the DVD we'll be sending out.
