  1. Re:MythTV increasingly impractical (digital and HD on MythTV Allows Multiple Front-Ends On Wide Range of Platforms · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Sure for the states it might be becoming irrelevant, but over here in the UK, DRM is not a problem. Freeview/freesat has everything I'd ever want to watch, and by definition, it's free to use on whatever platform you wish!

    I have a few TV cards in our home server, streaming to a silent little Apple TV running mythfrontend. It works a treat!

  2. Re:Only a small part looked simulated on Olympic Opening Ceremony Fireworks Were (Partly) Faked · · Score: 2, Funny

    The blocks were for real - I noticed one of the blocks standing up out of time. I doubt a computer would make that mistake!

  3. rTorrent TV shows on TV Torrents — When Piracy Is Easier Than Purchase · · Score: 1

    You might interested in this if you use rTorrent to download your torrents.

  4. Re:Hardware? on Linux as A Musician's OS? · · Score: 1

    Not really. FFADO supports loads (if not most?) of the professional firewire interfaces.

  5. Re:Line 6 on Linux as A Musician's OS? · · Score: 1

    My Bass Pod XT Pro works out of the box with ALSA on Ubuntu Feisty.

  6. My Linux Audio Setup on Linux as A Musician's OS? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I have just recorded and mixed a live album with this software on Ubuntu Feisty:

    http://ardour.org/
    http://jackaudio.org/
    http://www.ffado.org/ (aka Freebob) with a Mackie Onyx desk & firewire interface
    http://jamin.sourceforge.net/

    Very very good indeed, I vastly prefer it to my previous Windows based Cubase setup.

  7. Re:bass? on Getting High-Quality Audio From a PC · · Score: 1

    Very true! I've seen so many ridiculously expensive audio systems which just sound like crud in a boxy, resonant room.

  8. Re:That'll take care of audio... on MySpace to Use Audio Fingerprinting · · Score: 1

    The audio track on video can probably be used in a similar way. Fingerprinting still pictures can't be that difficult either.

  9. Re:Isn't that the point? on SIP vs. Skype, Making the "Open" Choice · · Score: 3, Informative
  10. Re:This comes right after a Flash hack on Banner Ad on Myspace Serves Adware to 1 Million · · Score: 1

    AFAIK, there was a Flash worm a few days ago which was caused by a Myspace XSS exploit.

  11. Re:i bet on Windows Media Player 11 and Urge · · Score: 1

    Exactly! I stopped buying music from iTunes as soon as hymn stopped working with it.

  12. Re:What's going on here...? on Put MediaWiki to Work for You · · Score: 1

    No, RTFA.

  13. what a waste on Brits To Crash Test a Scramjet · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Surely there are better things to spend this money on?

  14. Re:next ep on IT Crowd On-line · · Score: 1

    Surely this is the same thing?

  15. Cleaning laptop keyboards? on Keyboards Are Disgusting · · Score: 1

    I know you can wash normal keyboards by just sticking it in the dishwasher or putting it under running water, but what's the best way to clean laptop keyboards?

  16. My experience - eBay can't do anything on eBay Slammed Over Levels of Fraud · · Score: 1

    I bought a phone off eBay about a month ago paid with PayPal. I got an email from the seller saying he had shipped the item, but I never received anything. After a couple of weeks, I sent an email to the seller asking him what had happened, and he claimed that his PayPal account had been frozen and any email saying the item had been shipped had "been sent in error". He was no longer a member on eBay. This was quite obviously a scam. I am currently using PayPal's insurance scheme, which is waiting for a response from the seller. It will be interesting to see if I get anything from this. This seller is probably going to register again under a different name and keep on selling. What can eBay do if he registers again using different details?

  17. Planet X on New Object Found at Edge of Solar System · · Score: 1

    Is this another planet X then?

  18. Re:Gotta love the scroll wheel. on New 'Mighty Mouse' Formula Found · · Score: 1

    Prepare for an Apple lawsuit...

  19. USB Ports? on Build Your Own Linux-Based Satellite · · Score: 1

    I wonder if it can power my handy USB noodle strainer in space!
