So rather than being good little programmers and keeping their code in UserLand where it belongs, they built their own little privilege escalation vulnerability so they can get into KernelLand. Someone missed the point of running as a restricted user. If the game is popular enough, someone will release a worm that takes advantage of the situation.
I think my next gaming rig will have to live out in the DMZ. This kind of configuration can't be trusted on the LAN.
Decoding component isn't the problem, it's the encoding it to an mpeg/transport stream that is the challenge. There are PCI cards that can do realtime component video encoding at 1080i, but they are going into professional video post production workstations, not MCE boxes. If you've somehow got your hands on one _and_ have it working in MCE, then by all means, post a full writeup.
You had me until "and records just fine at HD resolutions." I have to call BS on that one. There isn't an input device in existence that can take a 1080i analog signal into a media center pc and record it. Your only HD input options are RF (QAM/OTA) which your settop box does not output in HD, and Firewire which is 5c encrypted, so not usable. Are you one of those people that think they're watching HDTV over svideo?
You'd think "Immigrations and Customs Enforcement" agents would be out looking for illegal aliens and smugglers, not playing copyright rent-a-cops. From the looks of things, its just easier for them to hunt down people who might have the technical means to infringe someone elses rights than it is to hunt down people who have actually committed crimes.
TFA doesn't have any details. Who did they raid? What did they confiscate? When did they do their investigation? Where were these "homes and businesses" located? Was there any _real_ criminal activity going on?
I ended up on Mythtv myself. 1.5 TB and its still a little cramped. I only have time to keep up on 1 or 2 shows, but I stockpile many shows and binge on them when I get some downtime between projects. I'll go an entire season sometimes without watching an episode, then catch up during the summer lul when theres nothing on.
I think 2tb would be about right. It would get me through a season.
The real trouble with tivo and the cable co DVR is storage. a 160g drive? I didn't think they still made them that small. What on earth could I possible do with a 20 hour recording capacity? Thats maybe a week of HD shows before it starts deleting things. If I had time to watch them that fast, I wouldn't need a DVR.
Yes, but even when he took them inside, he stored them ON TOP OF HIS TV! If he happened to watch TV, those big electromagnets that aim the stream of electrons at his face would eat away at the data.
I think you missed my point. I was slighting Fox for their tendancy to be so biased as to make the news apear fabricated, not specifically which party the fabrications pander to.
Besides, regardless of partisan sponsorship any legislation that purports to "protect children" is bad by definition. Show me a world that is safe for children, and I'll show you a world unfit for adults.
No, the FCCs job is to assign frequencies to broadcasters, regulate transmission power levels, certify (through licensing) that individuals and organization are qualified to run their broadcast equipment, and generally keep operators of RF transmission equipment from stepping on each others spectrum.
They have no place in the censorship business, but insist on using their licensing powers as leverage to push the personal agendas of the commission members.
Ground based radio in the US was bad enough before this ruling, now it will be completely pointless. Lets all just go home, watch fox news, and take the blue pill.
People with strong religious affiliations shouldn't even be allowed to hold public office. It's a conflict of interest. We really should only allow atheists to hold office, but we could let the occasional agnostic hold office if enough atheists will vouch for his religious impartiality.
Exactly. It's just an automated reboot, on another physical host. Just like in the physical world, you have to cluster your VMs across physical hosts to avoid downtime during the automated reboot. Now, with the right config your dead cluster node could automatically reboot on an alternate host, you'd still be clustered, and your app wouldn't drop a packet.
Its powerful tech, but you still have to put some thought into your requirements as you design your VI. It doesn't solve all your data center problems, but it makes things a lot easier to manage.

I've seen this a number of times, and it is almost universally caused by a management team unwilling to invest in IT. Revolt against IT all you want, it won't get you anywhere unless you can convince management that the services you need are worth the investment the IT department will need to support them.
Do not trust HP. These are the folks that shipped all of the X1000 series laptops and their relatives with fake Radeon 9200 cards. The cards were in fact Radeon 9000 chips that HP overclocked. They went so far as to modify the driver to misreport the chipset to the device manager.
Now, after a couple years in the field, most of these laptops have died from video card failures. Go figure.
This is just one example. If you buy HP, expect to be cheated.

It happens. I few years back, while trying to fill a position, we through out all the MCSEs on the first round, along with the H1B hopefulls and the folks from out of state. At that point, I had never met an MCSE that could admin his way out of a paper bag.
I've since met 1 (only 1), but the exception proves the rule.

I have no doubt that you do. Here, I'll even link to such a device in that price range:/ api557_intro.asp?pid=API-557-EFS

Will it capture HD over those component inputs, uh, no.
Want one that will? You'll need a bigger check book:

Want a cheap solution? This is the closest you'll get right now. It is brand new, eats 400+GB/hour at 1080i, and its not supported in any PVR app:

Not trying to be an 'arse' here, but pony up some product specs and I'll suspend my disbelief.

His arguements don't apply to an ESX virtual infrastructure, though there is validity for the free virtualization products.

There are two other options: QAM and Firewire
These are both supported now by MythTV.
