Ofcourse the big diffrence here is that the regulation of hotplates is NOT the sole right of the FCC. The regulation of wireless transmitters in the 2.4Ghz range IS.
If they want a wifi network that doesn't suffer from interference from the students accesspoints, they should change bands!
Are they ripping of the format? I don't know, hell I don't care.
If the first stand up comedian would have patented his bit that would have set us back a few laughs. Wouldn't it.
Ever seen the amazing resemblance between Richard Pryor and Eddy Murphy's stand up bits? Ever seen the similarities between Dennis Leary and Bill Hicks? Ever really looked at Lenny Bruce and seen the groundwork for everything that came after that?
All entertainers start out by copying there idols. Only the good ones surpass them. Rarely is ever do they forgive them.
All this legislation crap makes me sick to my stomach. It used to be cool to be copied. It meant you were doing something GOOD, worth copying. Artist, programmers, writers, they wore it like a badge of recognition. Now they wine like little kids. Sad, sad, sad!!

I really hate this type of fascist crap. It is't because it's the LAW that it's the right thing to do, and it isn't because it's breaking the law that you deserve being *watched*.
Hell, why would you care that BB put's a web cam in your house? If you're not breaking the law, who cares right?
Have you ANY sense of what it meens to have a right to privacy?
I have roughly all mails I've ever sent and received still in my archived folders. About 1.4Gigs worth of mostly useless correspondence. But hey I just can't part with it.
I've had some close calls with busted HDrives and other panic situations. But I'ts still there.
Now they are trying to tell me that all my mails since 1994 (or indeed from now until 2014) can be stored on web at no cost.

It's like someone took a good film. Then misinterpreted the essence of it, took it out, replaced it with crap. Anybody who replaces Warren Beaty with Chris Rock realy should get his head examined.
I'm always sorry to hear stuff like this...
the first problem was that you tried to install Myth on a running system instead of using the all-in-one solution known as Knoppmyth. It's a Myth tv installation on a knoppix system. That installs from 1 bootable CD.
In any case, why you would install myth without a capturecard for playback only is beyond me. Just install mplayer and get it over with.
As for tv-out. Forget ALL tv-out cards. Even the ones that work are too much trouble. Go instead for external VGA to TV convertor boxes. Mine (trust brand) cost 50$ and converts video up to 1024 by 768. Without any drivers configuration or anything. Nothing can beat that.
Hardware I used. AMD duron 1000 Sound on board, AGP trident blade 3d, Capturecard miro PC TV. A freind of mine has a Hauppage, and it work without any problem.
My advice is simple. Don't try to install Myth on a full system. But use the knoppix distro that was specifically designed for it.
I hope you will give it one more go. I think it's worth it.
Correct I installed it on simple hardware after downloading it from MSDN.
I've used other software solutions as well, like showshifter or smart-TV on an XP box.
As I've never used TiVo, I can't comment on that, but between MCE, Showshifter, Smart-TV and Myth, only Myth passed the mom-test. (or even the wife test).
P.S. (actually even the baby girl test, my 26 month old daughter can select her own cartoons. no kidding.)
I too have used both and MCE just simply didn't cut it.
Firstly my hardware wan't supported. MCE actually has pretty limited driver support. And the CPU and memory requirement were much higher than Myth.
Myth gave me the added fexibility to add EPG for my region which was not supported by MCE either.
The programs recorded by Myth are exportable. You can export files to VCD SVCD WMV DIVX etc... Open up a samba share and you can start copiing all files to wherever you want. MCE doesn't do that.
Long story short? I installed MCE and removed it days later. Installed Myth and have had months of viewing pleasure.
I installed myth on a spare pc and got everything up and running in less than an hour.
I don't know what you're bitching about, the Myth tv installation boots from CD, has a few questions for you and Presto it's been working since. And all I had to give up is 1000Mhz duron and a 200G HD.
Add a RF wireless keyboard and RF A/V sender receiver to connect the TV's and you've got mean ass PVR system.
Add to that fact that tivo doesn't exist in europe and you've got 100% of the market for Mythtv in this neck of the world.
That apple wouldn't have been MS if they had licenced their OS a very defendable position. In fact the OS was SO stable compared to early version of windows BECAUSE it was designed for very specific hardware. Trying to make it run on clone hardware (with plug and pray in mind and also the computer-illiteracy of many early mac users) probably sound simpler than it sounds. Stability would have had to suffer.
The most important part I think was not the licencing question, but the fact that the "look and feel" was not copywritable at the time. Just think what would have happened if Apple had had the patent on the "windowed gui application browsing system".
Obviously that's not what I meant.
Though 1 unpached vulnerability is worse than a hundred patched.
The thing is, it ticks me off that some users mistakenly think of firefox or linux as immune. They aren't. And users and companies that are considering migration better take note of that.
I've just checked, after 4 week of not updating my mandrake 10, I just installed 17 security patches and 4 bug fixes. All I'm saying is that companies migrating to avoid security patches are doing it for the wrong reasons. And not taking into account costs and infrastructure to do the updates will cause underestimation of TCO.
Slashdot Mirror
The truth is there shouldn't be any interference. Even in the 2.4Ghz range there are over a dozen chanels.
If they put in a multi million dollar wifi network the least they could do is build it well and think it through.
If they do have difficulties it's because they installed crap, or installed it crappy.
And why would the student accomodate that crap.
Anything weak enough to fail over Sally's 40$ D-Link WAP doesn't deserve to function.
Ofcourse the big diffrence here is that the regulation of hotplates is NOT the sole right of the FCC. The regulation of wireless transmitters in the 2.4Ghz range IS.

Couldn't they just license the mame roms for their games. It would give us MAME users a chance to legalize at least part of our rom collection.
P.S. Don't you just hate having 4000 games and no time to play......
than JUST a TiVo.
It's a DVD player/Ripper it's an "audio center"/MP3 player, It's a slideviewer and a webbrowser...
It's a news and weather ticker.
I'm guessing that's worth more than 99$
How strange and scary!

No, it means that even if you *DO* break the law, you are *still* entitled to privacy and freedom.

I seems to me that this hotmail announcment states that the 2Gigs of storage are for subscribers only.
So to answer OP's question.... Not that choked....
I have roughly all mails I've ever sent and received still in my archived folders. About 1.4Gigs worth of mostly useless correspondence. But hey I just can't part with it.
I've had some close calls with busted HDrives and other panic situations. But I'ts still there.

Doesn't anyone else have a "(good + good) (b + b) true" feeling?
I've defenitly got a "b-lieve it when IC it" feeling.
I'm especially interested in the "catch"...
How would you encode analog info in an optical disk?
Why? Just ask everyone silly enough to send you a WMA file to use a proper codec or to get lost.
Not everything is worth watching anyway.
Without a doubt.

You should check out http://www.thinstation.org/
Though the actual implementation could be just a tad technical, and you will need a terminal server, it is an interesting path.
You will be able to use low cost hardware, and nobody will mess up the PC's as there isn't anything installed on them.
I must disagree.

"hiring of more people (thus costing more in salaries)"
Are you serious? I didn't think counters get paid. Do they?
Here in Europe, counting the votes, or indeed registering the voters is an unpaid civil duty for which any citizen can be drafted.
