But How would a CableCARD work with a TV Tuner for the computer? Comparing the two is pointless. Media center cases (Thermaltake makes the best.) are cramped for space. And those riser cards only support 3 slots TOTAL. They only support the 3 PCI or 2 PCI + Graphics slot. Graphics slot for a graphics card to better drive the video and untax the cpu. 1 PCI card is most definitely a tv tuner. That just leaves one more pci slot. Are you willing to spend couple hundred for HD Audio motherboard or will you need a sound card? Will you want second tv tuner? CableCARD would take up a PCI slot.
And theres the problem of Linux based Mythtv. MPAA or Cable companies will never support CableCARD on Linux. The very nature of Linux won't allow it. Linux is not profitable to companies to develop software for it. Cable Companies can't give OSS developers the ability to decrypt cable programming at will. It would allow people to steal cable. CableCARD is quite literally a Windows and OSX only thing.
There is only one foreseeable way to bring HD cable to Mythtv. CableCARD based cable box.
My question remains. HOW would a CableCARD fit into a Media center case with mythtv driving it?
First Dell and now HP. Why are companies becoming interested in selling Linux pre-installed computers?
And with this new found interest might spark renewed interest from companies to produce commercial applications like PowerDVD for Linux, Antivirus for Linux (Yes, linux does have viruses.), or commercial firewalls (because ipchains/tables just doesn't cut it).
My question remains, though. Why are companies becoming interested in selling Linux pre-installed computers? Is it just coincidence this happen just month or two after Windows Vista release?
Microsoft can't beat Google with better products and services so they try to beat them with the law. It is pathetic. If Microsoft would spend all the cash they give to lawyers on R&D, they might actually produce decent product. Instead, they pump out crap after crap after crap.
The reason Microsoft does is to shake corporate faith in Google. I hope the corporations don't fall for it.
I use neither Mcafee or Norton. It's actually cheaper (25%) to renew my antivirus. I tried those free antivirus software. They look and feel like crap to me. I prefer Bitdefender. They also have basic Linux version for free.
Too Little Too late, MPAA. You can't kill software that is already in the wild. And I don't understand why the MPAA or RIAA bother with DRM Encryption technology. It doesn't stop people from breaking it. It only serves to frustrate and alienate honest people.
One of my local compusa's just went through a remodel. It now sells plasma and lcd tvs. Though, I think it should dump it's Apple store. My area finally has a Official Apple Store.
I highly doubt it will close. And if they close down apple part, they can use the space for DVDs.
CompUSA is a Mexican company.
Geordi Visor reference was to the recently invention. They uses a simple pair of glasses with small camera. Video was processed by wireless computer and wireless sent back to device attached to the retina. The optical nerve would then send the data back to the brain.
More research has turned up some promising research on the use of cold plasma for a shield. Military are invested in the project for satellites.
FYI -- It's not stem cells being alive. It is the Embryo. It is the beginning of Life. And because of not using embryo for stem cells, the medical community have adapted so they don't need it anyways. It's called progress. There's half a dozen ways to get stem cells without destroying a precious life.
This is an old rumor from StarTrek.com. I've known about for few months now. This article just confirms CBS' support for the fan movie.
I think any true Star Trek will be glad to see Rick Berman and Brannon Braga won't be involved in the movie. I hope JJ Abram calls in support from Majel Roddenberry if she can help out. No one knows Gene's dream better then her.
1) True, the list would be long. But there is pay services that do the web filtering for you. http://www.cnonline.net/ is one such service. 2) Any parent who reads the manual for a router would know how to block sites. It's rather simple to do.
It's no surprise to me that such a scanning device is developed. And like any new technology, it is always just the beginning.
After all, We have the quantum computer, beginning to master quantum entanglement for teleportation, tractor beam, and last but not least, Geordi's visor to allow blind people to see.
What we need next is a energy based weapon and energy shield.
I personally consider this guy a Patriot for the USA. He should be awarded a medal for his efforts and offered a government job with the CIA or National Cyber Security Division of the Department of Homeland Security.
They'll just see the flashy commercials and cheap phones and cheap prices and they'll snap up what they're force-fed without realizing they can do better. Face it. People (in general) are stupid in the USA.
And you are just not figuring out people are generally stupid? People barely know how to use their Plasma TVs or DVD players. I'll bet allot of people just know how to turn on and off their plasma sets. Another exampple is Windows, it sells so big because people are stupid. It is the intelligent ones who use Linux
And yet, the videos still can't be burned to DVD-Video. No one wants a movie/episode that can't burn to dvd so they can watch it on their tvs. The only people who wouldn't care is those who have HTPCs hooked up to their televisions.
This service is completely useless for the majority of people. It will go belly up.
You really have no idea what you're talking about, do you?
The Boston Tea Party happened because of unfair taxation
You said the right words -- UNFAIR TAXATION. And it's what we have now. Let's see you come up with a Fair tax plan that eliminates Social Security tax, Corporate taxes, inheritance taxes, income tax, and etc. Then build new one that isn't INCOME based.
- not taxation in general, but the idea that they were being hit with a larger tax burden than they should be, while those making the decisions were paying less.
This is exactly what is happening now, and what "Fair Tax" would make worse: Those who can least afford the tax will bear the brunt of it. Those who have influence (the rich/powerful) will only allow change if it benefits them, and will lobby for it to happen (this is why we have a tax code of thousands of pages).
You should read the Fair Tax plan. It's designed so the poor and middle-class don't get hit hard. I am very poor and I support the Fair Tax bill.
What delusional world are you from? I'll point to the a la mode rich jackass to refute this claim: George W. Bush. Rich brat extreme.
And President Bushed earned his money. And just being Presidents takes it's toll on him. Look at before and after shots of former Presidents.
I have never had a problem ordering at McDonalds.
You are obviously blind to the fact workers work too slow. Employees don't work as they should work -- Hard and Fast.
[Now the psychosis is starting to show]. Yet these stores function and make billions for those hard working rich folks who pay their employees as little as they can, with as few benefits as they can get away with.
That's Capitalism for you. America was founded on it. And Employees aren't worth $5.15/hr or $7.25/hr until they actually WORK. Unlike the majority minimal wage workers.
You have no idea what Government is for. As for the Constitution, I'll just point you to this: "For the people, by the people".
That doesn't say entitled you to everything. Constitution was written by citizens of America and not some Kings across the ocean in the British Empire.
You mean people only pay for what they want to *buy*. What is it with you people who think that "consumerism" is the central function of human existence. You can not base a tax code on consumerism. You need to tax the wealth of the nation.
Do you know what happened when British started over taxing American colonist? Let me refresh your memory. The Colonist had themselves damn fine party in Boston. I think America needs another one. Instead dumping tea into the water, we all should bring our W-2s and burn them in front of the Capital Building.
I know how it feels to wait a long time for TV shows. And I suspect many Americans do too.
Scifi channel delayed finishing up Stargate Atlantis' Season 3 and Stargate SG-1's last season until April. But Canadians and UK (Sky One) have been watching it since December and January. So many Americans have to wait 4 to 5 months just to watch their favorite show.
Slashdot Mirror
The presentation is not about the users of Linux but about businesses and servers who use Linux.
And I noticed there is few bald faced lies in the presentations too. It is expected that Microsoft would mislead and lie to people.
But the point is clear. Microsoft considers Linux a threat and are actively trying to fight us.
We need a an equivalent to Mozilla's Firefox Flicks program for Linux.
Thank you. I was just thinking the same thing. I would not like my dead body to dug up, poked and prodded, and then researched even further.
Some people have no respect for the dead.

Can someone please think of the poor helpless penguins on Pluto? And make sure those future dark matter tankers have 6001 hull layers.
Life is hilariously cruel.

I think I am having a Deja Vu moment here. Anyone else get the same feeling?

Or we can just gather up all our trash into giant garbage ball and shoot it into space. Then we let the people in the year 3000 worry about our trash.

Maybe next year, CW will have some Trek marathons to advertise the new movie.
A Replicator NOW would seriously screw up the economy today. Though, I wouldn't mind it. What I would want is a waterless shower like Sonic Shower.
1) True, the list would be long. But there is pay services that do the web filtering for you. http://www.cnonline.net/ is one such service.
2) Any parent who reads the manual for a router would know how to block sites. It's rather simple to do.
Wouldn't it just be easy enough to enable proxy based browsing and parents use site blocking on their wireless routers?

Does that server run Gnome and/or KDE? If so, swap out processor for 100mhz. And see how far down it can do and still run.
