There are tons of works out there that would be great to reuse, remix, recycle, but the original or current author/owner is hard to find or almost unknowable. This makes it difficult for people to use these thing for fear of getting sued at some later date. Is there a way to make this more balanced?
The problem is xv doesn't work with the PVR-350 currently. The output is made up of two layers, one the MPEG-2 decoder output and two the overlay which X outputs to, using only x11, not xv. I'd be happy as a clam if xv worked with the drivers, but I'll settle for appropriatly working output to the decoder directly from the video player software.
I've got an Epia M10K box with a PVR-350 that works like a dream for TV recording and viewing. The built-in encoder and decoder means the processor is barely touched when performing actions with the card. The only draw back is the non-MPEG-2 video/DVD playback. Without unpatched video players you are forced to use the regular x11 output which chews up enough processing power to make somethings unwatchable. There are some hacks for mplayer and xine to work around this, but so far they have had audio delay issues with my current setup or required downgrading the driver version for the card. For now I live with slight frameloss when watching DVDs, but am looking forward to new hacks on mplayer and xine.
To install the driver, save any unsaved work and close all applications then click on the driver download link (above). Choose the "Save File" option and save it to your folder under Windows where you file your drivers. Unzip the file. (To unzip the file right click and highlight "Extract All") Then double click on the Setup.exe file to run the installation program. Follow the prompts and restart at the end of the installation.
Seriously, having a collaborative system for journalism with moderation and web of trust like elements could be wonderful - anyone got any bright ideas on how to do it?
Normally insurance companies offer a large population indemnification against certain things. The likelyhood of a large number of, say auto drivers, needed to cash in on their policy is low. But it seems that if you are insuring people who use the Linux kernel and there is a patent infringement in the kernel, then you could be faced with paying out to ever single one of your customers. Plus - couldn't it be a strategy for patent holders to go after those with insurance because they have a certain dedicated portion of money set aside specifically for that possibility?
It seems like all of the anti-spam/phishing/whatever legislation lately will make testing like this illegal, or at least more difficult because of the threat of legal action.
Maybe on the positive side though it will help reduce the amount of "Shocking!" yellow journalism that's out there.
Africa is a lot bigger than just Nigeria. Plus it seems any company trying to attract outsourcing would need to do a lot to maintain security protocols - otherwise no one would do business with them again.
I certainly concede that my post was unclear, but it's really the kernel that matters here - the userspace stuff has little impact. For the record, I use Debian, Gentoo, and a little Slack when I have to.

Does this sound like Saint Shapely to anyone else?

Well, sadly it appears that carla's partner passed away recently and people closer to their home than the pope don't approve either.
With the prank images hosted in ~gremmer it wasn't too hard to dig up likely prankster Isaac Nielsen Gremmer and his residence, with a map to his room.

Now if everybody would just carry around one of these devices and cooperate in a mesh network then I could finally achieve my dream of....
Well, it would be really cool.
oh wait....

And do interesting things. And try to keep in touch.
Looks like a few other sources have some info on this.
Yes - it hurts my eyes too, especially on the laptop screen - viewing it even slightly off-angle makes it nearly unreadable.

hmmm, getting spam while driving - a whole new level of road rage.
"..traveling at typical highway speeds (in excess of 100 kilometers per hour or 62 mph)."
With a connection like that you could easily set up some pretty cool homebrew telemetric systems. Maybe have a community database of good restaurants?
"Car - please direct me to the nearest Thai restaurant favored by Slashdot readers who enjoy icefishing..."
Was the modding of this post supposed to be funny?
Or do they just hate the Dire Straits?

I wonder how long till it ends up here?

It's not super in depth, but over at cio.com they have interactive maps comparing different parts of the world for outsourcing.
these were moon bounces?
