I suspects this limits you to the ~300x200 res supported by the BTTV capture driver. I don't think this resolution is sufficent.
I have a Hauppauge card with built in mpeg2 compression, but the linux driver for it is still deep within development, and with no help from hauppauge.
I have a spare Celeron processor, and just picked up a second hand motherboard on the cheap. What I plan to add is:
A Hauppauge WinTV PVR, saves to 704x480, MPEG2
DVD reader
As much hard disk as I can afford
My TNT2u, when it's superceeded by something else,
until then, my ancient Riva128 with TV out.
Add RAM to taste, and serve hot!
DivX, flaskmpeg, virtualdub
I'm not really expecting the wintv card to work in linux, but that'd be an added bonus.

Oh yes... I used to work at a hospital where there were some machines which were considered medical equipment, and there had to be an emergency stop button for the whole room. This was situated just below the lightswitch...
For the uninitiated, there was a pirate in one of the bars on melee island with a badge, reading "Ask me about loom". And there was a silly, yet amusing conversation you could have with him, about loom, funnily enough.
Given that Monsatan (sic) are so AMAZINGLY popular with Greenpeace etc, and that farming opinion is sliding anyway, I find it incredible that they pushed this case.
It gives the environmentalists another weapon against GM.
Which is a shame, as there are many valid uses of this technology, such as trees which don't require nasty chemicals to make paper, rice with added vitamins, monkeys with four asses etc.
The only good to come of this story was my smile when I misread plants as pants.

this announcement seems to push 0.9 back a while, so I assume it pushes 1.0 back as well. This is probably due to the masses of bugs that have been reported against 0.8.
In the long run, we get a better browser, but how long is the run?

I've heard the guy who started Book Club was born in an asylum and only sleeps for two hours a night.
I'm not entirely convinced a Pentium 75 *is* worse than a Pentium 4...
It is cringeworthy. Luckily you can run it with the window borders turned off.
BSD drivers are unlikely, yes. Is there any bt8x8 support under the BSDs?

I pretty much expected this, so I'm not bitter
I have a Hauppague (sp) WinTV PVR, which is designed as a video recorder. They only support win9x at the moment, with a beta Win2k driver.
The supplied software isn't too bad, but it lacks decent scheduling.
Viewing and simple recording works under linux, but it's onboard mpeg2 compression chip isn't supported in it's current configuration.

Gracenotes seems to liscense access to the cddb. The terms seem to be: if you use the cddb, you must only use the cddb. No cost for no-cost software.
This is from memory from when I considered writing a cd player.

From monkey island. This is nothing new.

Hmm. Windows 1.03 came on 5 low density floppies,
and I used to run it on a machine with a 20m hard disk.
I think your table should be:
1 5
2 10
3 40
4 120
5 2000
Which leads to: y=0.71e^1.44x
A bit over a terabyte for version 10.

I'll probably still be running Win98 just for games anyway
It allows multiple frequencies to pass as if they were going down a mono-modal fibre.
It changes the refractive index without requiring strange doping of the glass.
More energy can be pumped down as the waves spread out. This means that fewer repeaters are required.
New Scientist had a good article on these fibres a year or so ago, and I talked to some of the researchers at the Royal Society.

Exactly. My mum bootstraped digico's by entering octal on the front panel.

See TFT: Thin Film Transistor.
The Nature 'article' linked appears to just be a summary of the actual paper.
Either get it in paper form, or wait for NewScientist to cover the story.
what are you offering, heh

Does slashdot have a policy on selling userids on ebay?
Uh, an additional step means an additional testing phase. Which means a longer wait overall... I just want it all, I want it now
