I've used a pcHDTV HD-3000 to tune digital cable without a cable box. It's the same 256-QAM as the HDTV channels. Comcast has been encrypting more and more "regular" channels where I live, so this isn't as useful as it once was.
The latest version of MPlayer (1.0pre7) can play Flash videos. 1.0pre7 is pretty recent so depending on how quick Ubuntu is, there may be a binary package available now.
Have you tried manually running prelink on the OpenOffice.org binaries? I don't even think it takes 15-20 seconds on my 300MHz laptop to load OOo once it's been prelinked...
Lossy encoding by definition removes bits from some bitstream.
AAC removes some bits from the master copy of the audio. When you burn it to disc, you don't get those bits back; they're still gone.
When you read it back from disc, and encode with $LOSSY_ENCODER, it removes some different bits from your copy of the audio. The final copy on your hard drive has fewer bits than the AAC copy or the master copy.
The more levels of lossy transcoding you do, the more the result is going to diverge from the original. Your example would be true only if all music CDs were actually run through lossy compression.
For what it's worth, KevEdit (my ZZT editor) can play ZZT games in Linux if you've got DOSEMU installed. The linux code is in CVS, the stable version is still DOS only...

That didn't stop me in high school. I used PocketRogue!
Actually, ccmalloc has a mode like purify to automatically link itself in during the compile process. Not the same thing as preload, but it's just as easy. If you're using, say gcc, change your compiler from "gcc" to "ccmalloc gcc" and ccmalloc will do the rest.
ccmalloc is a great utility to have if you can't get your hands on purify:)
That's a damn shame. I've used this software to capture and edit a few short films for school and general entertainment. I know I'll be holding on to my copy of the source; I still have some unfinished projects for bcast!
aterm, eh? I'll have to try it. I'm using Eterm because at one point it was the only terminal emulator that did it, and if it ain't broke... fwiw, Eterm supports tinting also.
Really? Videolan is the best? I tried it a few weeks ago, and it just crashed. I didn't really pursue it because I already had a the best DVD player hat worked on the first try;)
I tried playing around with this yesterday. It's a pretty good utility. Beats xvidtune, anyway.
I am still very disappointed with Matrox's G450 drivers, though. It trashes the framebuffer at non-24bpp modes, it breaks the overlay on 24bpp, and TV out doesn't work at all! They've really fallen behind from the days when they released a thick G200 specs manual and John Carmack was hacking the GLX code:P
timothy, what kind of PC do you have that doesn't work with bcast2000? It works on my p233/mmx! There was a version that had pentium pro instructions a while back, causing it to crash, but the latest one works fine..
It's easy to do with netscape and mozilla, too. Just make your cookie file 0400 during normal use, and set the write bit whenever you want to accept a cookie.
Mozilla also has cookie management in the GUI, as I recall. Of course, since it's so slow, I find it easier just to edit the cookie file by hand.

VLC cannot play Microsoft DRM encumbered video files, such as the ones the BBC's video on demand service uses. Nor can any other Free video player.

You may not have posted a direct link, but I'm happy to!

I can see in the comments that I'm not the only one who was slowed from accessing this by fascist plugin detection

You are free to FTP the source and binarie and make your own bootable CDs, but copying the CDs you purchase infringes the layout copyright.

Don't tell me how many things are wrong with the code, I just needed to visualize that thing scrolling!

*.sid? As in the format for ripped C-64 music? Rock on! With 20GB, you could fit every commodore 64 song ever written on the thing.

Okay, didn't pass the lameness filter. Back in my day, we didn't.. bah. Anyway, that's an old screenshot.
