From my experience, adjusting the pitch of the audio by +4% (without altering its duration) is enough to fool Google's algorithm without being noticeable/distracting, unless you're playing the original song and the altered song side-by-side.
Gambas doesn't even match VB 6. And what I mean by VB is an all in one integrated RAD development environment where Forms, Event Handling are built into the one thing. That pretty much means, Gambas...
Seconded. DansGuardian is great.
You could also use OpenDNS to filter DNS requests for sites which it flags as inappropriate. There's quite a range of configurablility as to what you can have it block access to. It solves a lot of the "accidental click" issues at our house.
Am I missing something? It wouldn't be you getting the prompt because they're using google voice, it would be you getting the prompt because YOU'RE using google voice. People who call your Google Voice number don't here anything. The purpose of you hitting one is so you can tell google voice which of your phones you want to answer the call and to avoid the answering machine problem described above.
How GrandCentral handles the cell phone dead battery voicemail problem you described is it requires you to press 1 to accept the incoming call. That way it never gets picked up by your answering machine.
Perhaps you're thinking of qemu and its accelerator module kqemu? I don't think this actually has anything to do with KDE or the "K team," as you called it, it just happens to have a k in front of its name.
You can run VirtualBox virtual machines in "headless" mode and connect to them via RDP. I suppose this is something akin to a "server" instance which isn't too difficult to do.
I've got an n800, and I seem to remember reading somewhere along the line that the n800/810 touch screens aren't multi-touch capable at all from hardware point of view. A different distribution could potentially offer a lot of new things to the n-series, but multi-touch isn't one of them.
Guess it depends on which driver you're talking about. I upgraded to the RC last week and mine never stopped working. From my glxinfo:
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: Quadro FX 1600M/PCI/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 177.80

He could use GreaseMonkey to write a script that removes the link to the spam folder. It wouldn't be foolproof, but it might be 5-year-old proof.
Gmail's helped me out with this. Any mail I'm expecting but is not critically important (developers' mailing list digests, stuff from my family, etc.) gets auto-tagged and removed from my index. So once or twice a day I look and see what new mail is in those areas. Spam gets moved to the spam bin. At that point everything else, which isn't too much, is probably something that needs to be dealt with when it brings itself to my attention. But at least I'm not getting interrupted with a "new mail" notification as often as I actually get new mail.
Exactly. As a conservative, I'm at the opposite end of the political spectrum from most Slashdotters on a lot of issues (although I agree with most of you on issues with technological implications such as net neutrality, privacy, that sort of thing). It's true, I hate the Democratic party with a passion. But over the last four years I've come to hate the Republican party just as much. It's the system that's messed up. We don't have real representation any more. I won't be voting for Obama because I disagree with almost every single policy he has, but I don't trust McCain either. I haven't exactly decided on who yet, but I'll be voting 3rd party this November.
I keep a tiny TrueCrypt volume which contains a text file with my login credentials for the various websites I frequent. Usually I can remember the username/password for all the sites I visit, but if I forget I can mount the TrueCrypt volume and look it up, and I don't have to worry about the file falling into the wrong hands.
This is kind of a kludgy solution, but what I've done in other circumstances with this sort of a need is install PDFCreator in my Windows VMs, print to that, then copy the PDF to another machine to print.
Hope that helps you. Probably won't.:)
As far as I understood it, VirtualBox does support USB in the binary distribution you can download here. VirtualBox's "Open Source Edition (OSE)" doesn't support USB, see here. But if you're running VMWare Player (a closed-source product) anyway, the non-Free/Open aspect of it must not be a hangup for you (nor is it for me). So what's your holdup for running the "closed" distribution of VirtualBox. You'd have USB and, unlike VMware Player, could actually create new virtual machines.
I've heard people say this, and I'm honestly curious... what exactly do you need USB for in your virtual machines? Printing? Webcam? I use VirtualBox basically so I can run a few Windows-only apps. For copying files between the host and the guest I use SCP. I print over the network.
I'm not trolling, I'm honestly curious. What USB hardware do you need in your VMs?
My birthday is June 8th (although my age was still a negative number in 1978). I guess if I pretend really hard, I can sort of imagine that you're all saying Happy Birthday to me instead. Ah, it's so good to be loved.
As a guitar player (actual wood and strings, not plastic), I've also viewed Guitar Hero with some distaste for the same reason: "Why not just learn how to actually play the guitar?" I've played the game a few times, and it was more fun than I thought it would be, but I couldn't help thinking the whole time, "I can play this song much better in real life..."

I've read about an upcoming game called Guitar Rising which looks to have a promising concept for me: Guitar Rising is a music video game where the player plays a real guitar as cued by the game's visuals. Following rock music sequences and streaming notes, players play guitar melodies and rhythms. Beginner difficulty levels are designed for non-guitar players and hard difficulties will challenge experienced guitarists.
