Ridiculous? Yes. Silly? Yes. Off Topic? Most likely. Funny? A lame attempt, but some may consider it funny. Insightful? No. Interesting? In an "Oh god that is so lame" sort of way, yes, I suppose.
But it is NOT flamebait. If you MUST mod down a post such as this rather than putting mod points to better use modding up a better post elsewhere, at least moderate it correctly. That post is in no way flamebait nor is it a troll.
Online, he'd post rants in threads, and attack posters rather than sticking to the issues. He'd have gained wider acceptance and more contributors for ReiserFS if he were more people-friendly. I love the fact that ReiserFS is zero-slack. (I was finally forced to switch away from ReiserFS because Myth and ReiserFS do not cooperate well, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that XFS is actually more responsive, even though (like most filesystems) it wastes a lot of storage space.)
Offline, Hans has a history of abusing his wife, anger issues, abusing his wife, and anger issues. The original story on the subject linked to past articles about the abuse and his overall character.
I'd have to say that based on what evidence the media cites, it does not look too good for him and any jury in the world would find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, unless the prosecutor REALLY screws up.
Especially considering that if $RandomSlashdotter hacked one of Sony's servers to install a rootkit and got caught, Sony would be seeking millions for that one single incident, plus jailtime.
You can use the interoperability clause. You had to break the encryption in order to create web-friendly videos in accordance with your Fair Use rights. It's easy enough since the DMCA provides plenty of wiggle room to use the law against itself.
I wouldn't want to use anything else on the PocketPC (their PocketPC/Windows Mobile suite is phenomenal), but on Linux? I have their applications installed but very rarely load them because the only use I would have for them is editing documents from my PocketPC, and syncing my ancient iPaq with Linux via USB is a royal pain in the ass.
Both SuSE and Ubuntu offer ODBC. I don't know about centos as I've never needed ODBC on it, but I'm sure it's there, and if not, being open source, it can be downloaded and compiled.
FWIW, that's all that Dell, HP, and Apple do. Foxconn designs most of their boards and connectors, Intel, AMD, ATI, or VIA most of the chips, so by your logic HP does not build PCs. Right?
Bill is afraid of having a chair thrown at him. You've seen how big and how psycho Ballmer is, and how scrawny Bill Gates is. Hell, I'd bet I could kick Bill Gate's butt in a fight.
Basing it on:
10.0 coming with the Mac
BUYING the 10.1 upgrade (I know people who paid for the upgrade)
Upgrading to 10.5 (since it'll be out in the Vista retail availability timeframe, give or take a month)
So: 10.1($129)_10.2($129)+10.3($129)+10.4($129)+10.5($ 129) = $645
As I said, you can skew the numbers to prove any conclusion you like. Or, we could compare, say, SCO's "IP license" for each Linux upgrade, raising the Linux total to $6,990, making Linux the most expensive option of the three (that would be Microsoft's desire).
OK. fair enough. Let's compare the cost of the various platforms:
Windows XP to Vista = $499 ($499*1), versions were five years apart, so we're talking under $100/yr if you go with Ultimate OS X 10.0 to 10.5 = $645 ($129*5)
Cost of Linux to upgrade your distro every six months over five years, based on 2001 prices for DVD-R media: $20.00 ($2.00/disc * 10 discs) Cost of Linux to upgrade your distro every six months over five years, based on today's prices for DVD-R media: $5.00, if that much
Analysis:
OS X($645) > Windoze ($499) > Linux ($20 tops)
Ergo, to upgrade over the same time period, the Mac is more expensive.
See, you can skew the data to prove whatever your preconceived notion is.:)
Because you have the fanbois whining about how O'Neill is better than Mitchell, that Mitchell is a wuss, that they should rename the show to "Fargate," and so forth. Is there an analog to the Star Trek fanbois, you know, a slur similar to "Trekkie?"
I, for one, welcome our new inter-dimensional overlords. Or something.
Given the production quality of SG-1 and Atlantis, I'm looking forward to any new Stargate series that comes out.:) I'm kind of disappointed about the alleged "stargate universe" reboot in the rumored sequel, considering that SG-1 picked up fairly nicely from where the original movie left off. It should be entertaining, in any event.
The good will of ATI opening up their source will entice me to start purchasing their products for my own machines again (including office machines) and will entice me to actively promote their products to clients when they purchase new PCs.
Don't under-estimate good will when that good will is tied to an inherent feature/selling point of a product.
It makes the digital cable provider's menu unusable, or at least downright annoying. click, waitwaitwaitsomemore, see the next page, then click, waitwaitwaitsomemore, see the next page, etc.
If using Myth's guide, it's not a problem. Where it really becomes a problem is using the cable provider's on demand movies.
Good grief, some people really are dense -- either that or they simply like to argue for argument's sake.
No, that's going to be my next card. After reading reviews about how well the cheap tuners worked in comparison to the Hauppauge without any delay, I ordered the TV@nywhere which is an NTSC card costing between $30 and $40.
That has nothing to do with the Hauppauge cards and everything to do with Myth and, in fact, ffmpeg (which apparently chokes if you give it a partial frame, and so Myth buffers conservatively in order to ensure this doesn't happen). The same would occur on any capture card, AFAIK.
With the Hauppauge, I get the exact same behavior in Windows.
Also, the video quality for the uber-cheap MSI is vastly superior. Fewer compression artifacts at even LOWER bitrates, no interlacing artifacts with the MSI, the only thing the MSI does not do better than the Hauppauge is that the MSI does not decode MTS.

It is explicitly allowed on Linux by the DMCA. See the exclusion clause covering interoperability.

I hope it's accurate because we rarely ever get to see aurora from southern New England. I've seen it only once. :(
Oh, there's nothing to worry about. Our overlords will simply reload the matrix.
Duh. Now, get back to metabolizing, coppertop.

Sony execs should be doing time over this.
Sure, until the exploits are found and implemented.

Several thousand per month in advertising revenue, plus some really neat swag for the editors.

That's okay, go to the store and buy some more. In fact, I hear that the new and improved product now has flavor!
