I love how, meanwhile, MTV has seen fit to put their entire backcatalogue of music videos - music videos serviced to them from other copyright holders ie. record labels - on their own website without obtaining any further license or providing them any royalties or advertising share.
Any tips for what I am doing wrong on my FreeBSD Intel box?:
patch -p 1../../patches/maildir.patch
Hmm... Looks like a new-style context diff to me...
The text leading up to this was:

Am I the only one that thinks Douglas Trumbull does not get enough credit for this film? It may have been Scott's vision, but it's really Trumbull who manifested it in the form that we still rave about today.
We're talking the man who gave us the experiences in 2001, Close Encounters and Brainstorm. I'd say that he set the bar for visual F/X prior to CGI.
BTW if you happen to be in the NYC area, I suggest checking out the Museum of Radio & TV in Queens because they have the original Tryell Corp building model.
What I'm wondering is when does the Watchman make a comeback, now that we have digital over the air? Or even better, where are the cellphones with ATSC tuners in them?
I cant see how it would affect the cost of launching these satellites if an agreed protocol (DRM and all) for how the satellites and the receivers communicate was standardized.
Terrestrial radio stations seem to have no problem competing while using the same chunk of bandwidth and methods of transmission. Why didn't the FCC draw up a standard for satellite radio band and transmission method?
I mean.. I thought that's what the FCC's actual mission was.. Not to worry about Janet Jackson's nipples.
I am probably never going to touch satellite radio because of the permanent Beta/VHS war they enacted. Last time I checked, there were an equal number of offerings on both services that I would be interested in.
Even if I had to pay separate subscriptions to both companies, STANDARDIZE THE RADIOS. What were they thinking???
Reminds me of the old AT&T days where they refused to allow so much as an adhesive microphone cover to be manufactured by a third party because they needed to 'protect the integrity of the network'.
I was really excited by this device because it seemed like it really would break a lot of paradigms. But between this and the mandatory 2-year contract, we're looking at just the typical phone, but with a brushed metal GUI, and business as usual..
At least this is implimented only on one LOOKUP server on one ISP.. A far cry from a wildcard in the AUTH server of the most popular TLD in the world..
I assume Earthlink users can just manually punch in an alternate lookup server on their workstation and be rid of this?
Some friends and I have agreed to form a pact where we act as data guardians for each other in the case of an early demise. After seeing what went on after one of our young friend's untimely demise, we decided we wanted to have contingency as to what should happen to our personal data and hardware after we pass on. I am wondering if anyone else has done something similar.
We decided that we'd each get a USB thumb drive and put a password protected RAR file that contains a text document that includes login/passwords to all our personal accounts, lists of online acquaintances who should be informed of our passing and details of our desires for what will be done with personal hardware and data. We've then taped the thumbdrive to the inside of the case of our main desktop computer. We then appointed another person in the group to be our guardian, to then come and retrieve the drive and carry out our wishes.
It's all ad-hoc for now, but when I get around to making a real will, I want to include this as a clause and make it 'official'.
I predict that what will happen is, as the remaining paper-copy subscribers die out, newspapers will be forced to charge online somehow. I think the most feasible model will be a package model, where you subscribe to a main service and get NYTimes, Boston Globe, whatever.. but a bunch of stuff available as 'channels' if you will.. similar to a cable TV model.. People wont find it cost-effective to subscribe for a single fee to just the NY Times, but they would probably pay for a 'basic news' service. This could be extended to cellphones and other mobile devices..
I remember a few years ago reading in PC magazine about a display device (probably a set of goggles of some sort) that would draw a computer's display on the back of your retina. The thing was able to encompass your entire peripheral vision obviously. But somehow the article made no reference to VR applications, and instead imagined drawing Microsoft Word on the back of your eye.
I think that's a good hint to what happened to Virtual Reality.. it was superseded by virtual cash! Once the net turned from the open haven for communications and experimentation into the world's marketplace, noone seemed to care anymore.
I thought that the MagicTwin might prove good for the VJ market..
A typical VJ setup involves two computers with NTSC converters hooked up to a video mixer to transition between the two.. With a computer like this, you could replicate this with half the footprint.

Does this new alpine app have Maildir support?
Since when does Mac OS support NTFS? I missed the news obviously or I would not still be using FAT32 to tote files between home (PC) and work (Mac)

Good riddance to Sopranos.. Maybe HBO will make a drama series about ruthless Jewish bankers now..

Would I get 50% off the registration fee since I am blind in one eye?

mikejz84: I am curious what PocketPC PDA you have?

It is the best OS.. but I can't run any Sonic Foundry apps or my VJ software on it.
I'd buy a Mac if this chip is gonna make it possible to run Windows apps with decent performance.
