You bring up a good point. I'm waiting for this to turn into a problem so that blockbuster has to stop this insanity.
The issue is that there are a certain amount of movies which are released shortly after being in theatres, and are ONLY in a rental phase, not being sold as DVDs at BlockBuster, etc.
As long as BlockBuster doesn't make the 'you bought it after 30 Days' Fee too expensive, then you've now just effectively been able to purchase your DVD for your collection before everyone else. Legally even! Just go back to Blockbuster, ask for the cover art for the title (You're actually entitled to it).
My best friend works at BlockBuster, and I was hanging out when they were getting all their corporate propaganda for the new No Late Fees, and they actually have a little handbook that says 'Customer says X, you say Y' -- and there are about 3-4 levels of the customer having to ask for details before they're supposed to hand them over. They're supposed to give as ambiguous and non-informative answers as possible until the customer practically gets irate.
I have trouble imagining this is caused by moox. I too installed it and have been running it, and have seen none of the aforementioned sound or wallpaper changes. Have you run ad-ware, spybot search and destroy lately, and are you running an up to date antivirus solution?
heh, well they're the company that I work for, and we have a killer server with much more bandwidth than we need, so I try to setup a mirror to give back to the community.
We're not trying to slam you, we're not trying to rape you with popups or redirects. Just happen to have our name mentioned in the URL. Your choice if you'd want to use our services.
I feel this is very similar to a sourceforge mirror of download links. You choose a mirror, the company happens to be listed on the left. They don't do anything except sit there with their name.
I totally agree on the 'free ipod' and 'free lcd monitor' bit -- I don't agree with those MLM schemes
Also btw, -- if I'd chosen to use my personal blog URL -- HornyandConfused.com instead of 100BigCoupons.com You would've thought I was advertising a porn site instead:-P
I'm open to suggestions as to how we could better give back to the open source community with our spare bandwidth. We've contacted numerous open source projects and offered to be mirrors, but most everyone seems to have plenty of bandwidth now adays -- the only place I see is when there's an occasional slashdot story that links to a site that got hit hard.
I agree with you sam -- If people just go around blindly allowing anything with a 'stable' stamp on it to make it vs. something said to be in 'beta' -- you're allowing someone else to determine just how 'stable' it is -- instead of taking a clear look at it yourself. I've seen plenty of 'stable' 1.0 releases that totally sucked compared with all the time and energy thats gone into 4.1 - now gamma. I'll take mysql 4.1 anyday -- We've been running it on our 'production' mysql webservers for months -- albeit we allow a few weeks of testing on the dev ones each time a new revision comes out -- but thats something anyone should do, with a stable version of a program too.
These choices are great and all, but in my experience I've found very poor multi-monitor support. Some authors speak of running multiple daemons for each screen -- screw that. I've found that RealVNC (and NOT UltraVNC) has excellent multi-monitor support that gives you a view that spans across all monitors.
However, the beauty is in the fact that you can use the superior UltraVNC client to connect to the multi-monitor supporting RealVNC.
What other experiences have others had with multi-monitor across some of the VNCs I haven't tried, such as TightVNC?
After reading the news about the Xbox being able to run OS X you may be asking yourself, "How can I do this as well, what do I need?"
Well, the answer to that question would be that you need to have a Xbox, obviously, and a way to run unsigned code.
In my experiences I have found that www.xbox-modchips.com provides quality tech suport, a good warranty, and overall great prices.
Right now the most Compatible chip in the market is the Xecuter 3 modchip. This can let you run the unsigned code required for a Mac OS X install.
In my opinion though, OS X needs a lot of proccessing power to run it's OS and requires a good bit of memory too, but the 733mhz proccessing power and the 64mb of ram that come with the Xbox may fall short behind on the minimal basis of running OS X on an Xbox.
Linux on the Xbox can do some great things such as, connect to your email server, browse the internet, run Linux apps, and even daisy chain several Xboxes together that are running Linux and make a 10,000 mhz machine. Linux on the Xbox
has progressed very far, but how will Mac's OS X hold up like the current Xbox-linux Os's out today?
Only time will tell.
I'd just like to note that yesterday i finally decided to upgrade from 0.9.3 -> 1.0PR -- and I went to grab the latest MOOX Release Build
I was very surprised to see 1.0.1 -- now I finally understand what it is --.
Damn I love this guys releases -- this is sooo friggin' fast. Highly recommended. Just be sure to read his build explanation on his Main Page So you grab the right one.
I have a cute little hand-out Flyer
Posted over on my spreadfirefox blog.
I also higly recommend Kerio Personal Firewall -- I think better than other firewall products -- has a built in updater system too.
Also Grisoft's AVG 6.0 Free Is essential -- very excellent free anti-virus software -- just set it to download updates every day.
there's also no A record for ipv6.org itself also -- so boo; its not like they singled out AAAA its just another one of those loony sites thats www. only; and not just the domain name.
I wish I had URLs to back myself up --- but that have been countless security vulnerabilities where Microsoft has openly said: "yes, we knew about this 6 months ago, here's the patch now"
thats scary to think back: "so who else knew about this for the last 6 months, what havoc have they been wrecking"
Has anyone here setup SPF/SRS with
qmail/Specifically Matt Simmerson's Mail Toaster?
I'm curious if anyone has taken the time to do this, and also if there is demand out there to have Matt make the toaster SPF/SRS compatible.
I think this seems like a good step in the right direction -- doesn't solve all our mail problems, but atleast slows down a lot of the worm-spam phenomenon; I just don't have the time to piece this all together, so I'm hoping to see it in Mail Toaster sometime soon!
You have to love yourself before you can love another.
I disagree on the modeling. Read about NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) -- the art of finding a successful model for an activity, and then exercising the model for yourself to create your own successes.
Okay -- upon reading said response... a few questions come to mind.
actually no -- I don't even know where to begin with this...
for someone to try to say BS like this... 'Do as I say, not as I do' -- I guarantee that applies here.
-- This is only BS because the points you're trying to make are not things that one can come to own their own -- without first experiencing. I totally agree that people may come to the same conclusion as you in time... that sex isn't as important, yadda yadda -- however, thats like trying to tell someone how great it is to be drunk. Ever try that one on a girl who doesn't drink? riightt -- doesn't work, you can't convince someone about something like this.
What you can do is create situations where they will desire it to be so. Its possible, just difficult.

Correction:
Thanks to This helpful post which references this moox forum post
"Lastly, I have now made SVG a permanent component to my builds!" - Oct 28th 2004.
So, if you're looking for a firefox with SVG built in, Moox has it.

Keep an eye on Moox's Site.
He's already in the past done release builds of Firefox with SVG. They were pretty nice.
I'd watch for it in a few days.
Meanwhile, I've already setup a Mirror of Moox's FireFox 1.0 Optimized release builds, just incase he gets slammed.
Also don't forget about the excellent resource of Moox's optimized releases of Firefox: http://www.moox.ws/tech/mozilla/
His site seems to be holding up under the stress.
He has Optimized Release Builds of FireFox 1.0
I'm still waiting for 1.0 with SVG.
Anyone?
Direct Mirror to Firefox Setup 1.0.exe
