  1. Publisher's Clearing House? on Gmail Spam Filter Testing · · Score: 1

    I'm sending prattboy a free DVD player (I got an ad for one) and it also offered me $1,000,000 from Publisher's Clearing House and it had the following pre-filled in and it wasn't the name I entered for the DVD player (Tester, Gmail): Girl, Pratt heow, AR 12333

  2. Re:Nice, but about those 802.11a/b/g cards... on Open Source Hotspots · · Score: 1

    But if you get a Proxim a/b/g card it comes with Atheros and you need madwifi to use it.

    At least it works with 98 and ME (Unlike Apple's iPod+iTunes).

    It says "FreeFi allows full web access needing no plug-ins or additional software on your PC."

    A PC Is not a PDA.

    But a Pocket PC running Pocket Internet Explorer is another matter.

    I wonder when they'll get Wi-Fi browsing on iPod Linux.

    If you forget to do that, it will keep your version number at 0.5... (Someone was complaining about that)

  9. New throbber? on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.6 Released · · Score: 1

    There's a new throbber for TB! I liked the old one better. Can someone do a theme for TB that looks the same but has the FireFox-type throbber? But I do like the new logo.

  10. Re:Now we just need phpTunes/itms-4-all working ag on Install iPod Update in Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    I managed to get iTMS-4-All working again. You just have to take out the call to wget and replace it with something like this. They seem to have started checking for extra headers that iTunes doesn't send.

    This worked for me (iTMS-4-All). YMMV.

    sub iTunesFetch {
    my ($searchStringSafe) = @_;
    my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new('phobos.apple.com:80') or return '';
    binmode($sock);
    print $sock "GET /WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/com.apple.jingle.searc h.DirectAction/search?term=$searchStringSafe HTTP/1.1\r\nAccept-Language: en-us, en;q=0.50\r\nUser-Agent: iTunes/4.2 (Windows; U; Windows 2000 Professional Service Pack 4 (Build 1234)) DPI/96\r\nCookie: countryVerified=1\r\nAccept-Encoding: gzip, x-aes-cbc\r\nHost: phobos.apple.com\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n";
    my $rv = "";
    my $tmp;
    while (read($sock,$tmp,2560)) {
    $rv.=$tmp;

    return $rv;
    }

  11. Breaking everything... on Apple Releases Major iTunes Update · · Score: 1

    Interesting how the very next day after I download iTunes and hack at iTMS-4-all to create a "screen saver" of iTunes clips from the search results for random words, they break the entire iTMS protocol. Is that bad timing or what?

  12. Re:OoOoOoo! on Creative Commons Audiobooks · · Score: 3, Informative

    I found a solution to this: iPodLibrary. It automatically chops up your notes into little "Chapters" and supports TXT, PDF, LIT, and Windows (not Linux).

    Seeing as how I use Linux and there is no WinAmp for Linux, I wouldn't exactly call Winamp my player of choice - XMMS all the way.

    I'm sorry but I happen to completely disagree with this. I happen to use perl all the time - On Windows, Linux, CGI (Although experimenting with PHP), and GUI on both Windows and Linux. Perl is not dead, Perl is just begining.
