You're a high school kid with walkie-talkies that can be used in pranks on McDonalds customers, janitors, and hall monitors, and you want to get rid of them?
The U.S. education system must be going downhill fast.
Missing episodes are reconstructed through the soundtrack, extant footage (clips from other BBC TV shows, or fan footage made by pointing a 8mm camera at a TV screen), and still photos.
What happened was that the Daleks decided they didn't need Davros[1], and started breeding via genetic manipulation[2]. They also developed a way to convert other species to Kaleds[3].
Oh, and The Doctor in 'Genesis of the Daleks' was Tom Baker. And it's 'Davison,' not 'Davidson.'
[1]: 'Destiny of the Daleks,' I believe. They needed Davros again in this story. [2]: Big Finish's 'The Mutant Phase.' [3]: 'Revelation of the Daleks.'
I don't believe it was a union requirement, just standard practice at the BBC for ages.
At least one Tom Baker story ('The Stones Of Blood') was shot with OB (Outdoor Broadcast) video instead of a 'piebald' video/film production.
I think it had more to do with the director and the budget for the story than anything else. For example, 'The Young Ones,' which was also shot in the early eighties, was shot entirely on video. Doctor Who didn't go all-OB until the 7th Doctor took over in 1987.
Or you could just wait. See, the delay with Duke Nukem Forever is that they've hidden the entire series of old Duke games in it as an easter egg, and they want them to work just right in Windows 95^H8^UMe^U2k^UXP.
Stuff originally shot on (NTSC) video is (obviously) encoded as 29.970fps interlaced, but for film it should be encoded 23.976fps progressive. Your DVD player does the 3:2 pulldown for 480i (NTSC TV) output.
There are still some discs that have 24fps film encoded to 29.970fps with a 3:2 pulldown, but they're becoming more scarce. Good thing, too, since it's a waste of bits.
I'd like like to plea with you (and all ISPs) not to do anything like this.
As far as I know, your only options are: * Making the user use some sort of filtering software, e.g. Proximotron or Google Toolbar. * Making the user use a browser with built-in popup blocking. * Filtering HTTP requests.
I recently had a big problem getting an XML-RPC based app to work. Turns out that Proximotron had been installed (without my knowledge) on the client system, and was adding it's popup blocking stuff to the XML-RPC response. While this is fine for HTML, it is definitely not ok for XML.
You can argue that XML-RPC/SOAP is a perversion of the HTTP standard, but apps using it are already deployed, and as a network admin I have to deal with it. Please don't make my job harder.
If technology is causing a problem, the obvious fix is... more technology!
In this instance, I suggest creating genetically-engineered supergenius MENSA birds, who will be smart enough to stay the hell away from a ten-square-mile plot of spinning blades.
Wake me up when they have a Bluetooth keyboard driver.
I guess this is neat from a purely technical standpoint, but it doesn't seem too practical to me; the 3650's IR port is on it's left side, which means that any kind of IR keyboard would be pretty tough to use. BT seems like a much more useful technology in this application.

On the other hand, the poster does state that they want to access the internet, so the local link is not going to be the bottleneck.
The grandparent is correct. If you can't put in a new drop, you should get a small hub or switch.
If transfer speed is an issue, a new gigabit ethernet board can be had for under $20.
If that were the case, don't you think that the virus would be targeting Linux systems?
After all, Microsoft paid their SCO tax.

On the other hand, it means that we can still lobby to have it made illegal.
It's a hack, but there is a fix.
It works reasonably well for most cases.
I think you mean "Astroglide."

Listen to some of the Big Finish Doctor Who audio dramas.
He develops quite a bit. There are some amazing stories; I highly recommend them for any Who fan.

Yes, I am a Doctor Who geek.
So, you're saying that the best way to get a vendor who's put GPL'd code in a commercial product is... advertising?
Now there's an idea. I'll invent my own language, and fill out the patent application using it.
I've got $1 riding on it getting granted. Any takers?
If that is the case, I can only assume that the cost of a license is prohibitive.

Digital sex can be fun, just wash your hands afterwards. If you don't you might have a problem with your digital smell.
Actually, my first thought was "are they going to bomb commercial software companies?"

I demand an "Ask Phexro" section on /.
Of course, most of my answers would be "Search Google," and "Shut up, jackass," but I'd answer every question anyways,
Well, do you consider something like wget a "browser?" While I would describe it as a HTTP client, I would not call it a browser.
With a name like 'Big Blue Ball,' I'm surprised they aren't spammed to death with ads for viagra.
I believe that some carriers heavliy filter their GPRS connections.
this seems to indicate that T-M blocks outbound SSH. Tough break.

Where? I looked for a SSH client when I got my 3650, but couldn't find one.
