I've yet to find a decent internet radio station, and the ones on the cable box reallly suck. Yahoo! Launchcast is pretty good, but music only...with Sirius you get Stern, and news, and NFL, and NHL, and good music.
Reminds me of the Uberman's sleep cycle, sleep 30 mins every 4 hours, it's been on/. a few times...I don't think I can do it because I tend to go out and have drinks on the weekends...
I find the Source Mage community VERY helpful. The IRC room seems to never leave me hanging, and has always been very friendly and helpful. I think they have a pretty large library of packages (grimiore in SMGL terms), and if a package isn't there it's pretty easy to create. There is even a script to do it for you.
quill -f -- will try to grab from freshmeat and generate spell (SMGL for package)
Or run with no arguments for a guided spell generation, then of course submit your package!
Dude, get a grip. You're using a source based distro, it's not going to hold your hand through kernel module selection, hotplugging, etc. If you want that, go try one of these easier to use distros, because Gentoo, Source Mage and the like are pretty much "fix if your self" type of deals. And maybe if you weren't such and asshole they'd help you out a little more.
I dunno, maybe I'm crazy, but it seems like an idea worth kicking around.
I think you're crazy. PC's are more expensive than consoles, and they have windows, so just release the game for windows. You don't have to reboot the box, you can Alt-Tab and get on ICQ or IM, or check your email. You can click on content on a website that will launch the game right then (ie., a replay, a new map, a server to play on). People like consoles becuase they are cheap, they can get the games at blockbuster, they ALWAY work, and one of my biggest things is that you can play from the couch. I sit at a computer all day at work, going home and sitting on the computer doesn't sound good to me.
I agree, I used to have fun doing things that would be really uninteresting now...it was more of an adventure than it is now. Just writing a colorful animated hello world type of program with different beeps and tones used to be fun, but now you teach a kid to do that and his friend is going to be dragging and dropping a really cool flash animation that would blow it away. PHP might be a good place to start, because you're still just writing text output (html), but you can do some cool stuff with it.
Or, maybe a more practical application apealing to the lazy...show your kids how to write a console program (Perl, Python, PHP, etc) that will ask for inputs that could help him/her with thier math homework or something. They might use it as a crutch, but by the time they figure out how to program a process they will have a better understanding of it.
Exactly, there isn't a scientific proof saying why it's good. There are games with better graphics,sound,controls, but Halo kicks their ass. I will buy a 360 when Halo 3 comes out and I will probably only own one game....
Yeah, I agree 1 Byte = 8 Bits...I don't know a lot about it, but I remember seeing in a few places that with the TCP overhead it ends up averaging out to 10 bits to send a byte.
HDNET and INHD can be pretty repetitive, but they do also have NHL Hockey, MLB Baseball, NBA Basketball and lots of IMAX movies. HD might be better for me because half the programming I watch is sports;)

Sweet, guess you have to use a source based distro to get cutting edge binary-only apps?
Is that an original quote? Google didn't pull up anything...I'm a sucker for any "freedom" quotation.
That's funny...do they have to prove that they reverse engineered it and never accidently remembered specs from the document?
you would have 8.74 cents worth of metal for each time...
Actually, I'd say it's pretty easy.

Wouldn't this thing get pretty hot in my pocket?

In KDE 3 there is an option to disable icons on the desktop, that's what I have been doing for a while...
anyone who passes middle school chemistry knows 100 C = 212 F...even here in the states

So wait until they get their $100 laptops so they can update wikipedia...until then I agree this is a non issue.
You can find the high tech version here, it's much more interesting.
Good point, this will be usefull to the 4 Dixie Chick's fans who know what lossy audio encoding is....
Am I the only one afriad to click a link "set your scrotum on fire"...
Because lawyers charge a lot more than us...

You're right...lets give up.

Feel free to correct me, as I may be wrong...
No one advertises MBps, it's alway Mbps, as you can use a much higher number...so 4 Mbps would equate to about 400 KBps (start and stop bits)..
Down here in Orlando through TWC (Brighthouse Networks here), from their website:
$29.95 - Less than 1 Megabit per second downloads
$44.95 - Up to 5 Megabits per second downloads
$59.95 - Up to 8 Megabits per second downloads
I have the 5 Megabit plan and am very satisfied. I see download rates of 400-600KB pretty regularly.
