  4. You Tube on Web Release of the Open Movie Elephants Dream · · Score: 1

    As others have pointed out, if you just want to get a feel for what was done, there is a low resolution version on YouTube http://youtube.com/watch?v=bsGEWHNJ3s8&search=elep hants%20dream

  5. Re:The DVD Box Set is available Now on Dr. Who on Sci-Fi Channel in March · · Score: 1

    I don't know about the BBC shop, but amazon.co.uk will sell it to you. And you'll get it without having to pay VAT (value added tax) Including VAT 44.99 Shipping to the US - Items: £38.29 Postage & Packing: £3.08 Total before VAT: £41.37 VAT: £0.00 Order Total: £41.37 Wahoo!

  6. Anyone tried the PXE VM images? on VMWare Inc. Releases Free Virtual Machine Runtime · · Score: 1

    Both Argon and Emboot have PXE boot VMware virtual machine images - anyone tried them? Or is that a non-starter for the VMWare player?

    No, don't use a microwave - just slap them in the Foreman USB grill

    The Roku Photobridge does indeed make a nice Myth front end, by all accounts - http://www.rokulabs.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=245 8

  10. Re:I'm using Windows MCE because of DRM :-( on Build Your Own Linux Home Theater PC · · Score: 1

    You're correct - WMV is not broadcast. I don't think you'll be convinced anytime soon, but for a ponter try this one to (all?) nearly 20 movies - http://www.wmvhd.com/ (beware thinly disguised MS hype)

  11. Re:Read the fine print for your savings and checki on Tracking Your Taxes · · Score: 1

    Try changing your DNS server from 'automatically assigned by the ISP' to a manual setting like 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2, 4.2.2.4... Won't make Comcast happy ( or I think, Verizon) but should allow you to browse as normal.

  12. Re:Three Day Novel Writing Contest on Kamikaze Novel Writing · · Score: 1

    If you read more of the NaNoWriMo FAQ, you'll realize that the author (Chris Baty) had his tongue firmly in his cheek when he wrote this. His humour is one of the things that attracts many NaNoWriMo participants.

  13. Re:Made from hemp... on What's in Your Billfold? · · Score: 1
    I am on my second one now. They last forever.

    So I have to ask - what happened to the first one? :)

  14. Re:SPACE BALLS I REMASTERED DVD! on Mel Brooks Says 'Spaceballs' Sequel In The Works · · Score: 1

    You know, with this new news, there's got to be a Collector's edition box set of Spaceballs 1 & 2 in the future somewhere. I just hope it's not in a galaxy far, far away... 'Til then I'll stick with my Laserdisc version.

  15. Re:thefreedictionary.com on Intel Begins Shipping 64-bit Prescotts · · Score: 1

    Hmmm... Thanks for pointing that out. I just grabbed one of the first links return from Google...

  16. Re:A Note on memory addressing on Intel Begins Shipping 64-bit Prescotts · · Score: 2, Informative

    I know it's the percocet talking, but I think you mean PAE not PXE...

    Apart from that - absolutely correct.

  17. Re:Not Feature Complete on More Power To The Firmware · · Score: 1

    Well, EFI comes with its own network drivers, and there are sample TCPIP stacks. I've heard of simple web browsers that have been ported over, so I don't see why you couldn't log on to your favourite webmail service using it...

  18. Re:Any EFI motherboards available? on More Power To The Firmware · · Score: 1

    Yes - Gateway just released the 610 Media Center box running EFI. Read all about it!

  19. Re:Great! on Intel To Release Next-Gen BIOS Code Under CPL · · Score: 2, Informative

    Forget the BIOS patch. Why boot to Linux when you're already booting to BSD?

    With EFI having a built-in TCPIP stack, you can bet that an EFI based Web server is only a recompile away for some people.

  20. Re:From the LinuxBIOS mail list earlier today: on Intel To Release Next-Gen BIOS Code Under CPL · · Score: 1
    But I doubt you're going to see Phoenix et. al. open source their 'value-added' Tiano,
    In fact Phoenix is noteably absent from the press release - it quotes AMI and Insyde... Phoenix seem to be concentrating on their own strategies.

    Also, don't forget EFI itself is a derivative of FreeBSD...

    The Pioneer DVL919 is spendy, but a very nice machine (it plays DVDs too), and still available. I have two of the previous generation DVL909s... Amazon link

  22. Rob Sawyer's Hominids/Humans/Hybrids? on Microsoft Gadget Keeps Record of Your Life · · Score: 1

    Did anyone else think of the embedded computers that monitor your day, described in Rob Sawyer's Neanderthal trilogy? They even mention the same application - remembering where you lost items...
