I don't know, but I just wrote an email to mine asking about it. If everyone starts bugging them, it might get something done. It would help to hint that you might move to a competitor if they get IPv6 support first. (Assuming you have more than one available.)
Also, write to "the other guy", and tell them that you might switch if they offer IPv6. Balking about things here on Slashdot don't do much; writing to companies and backing it up with you wallet does.
I did try that, but I couldn't figure out how to get a menu or chapters working. I am now using QDVDAuthor and am fairly pleased. It was crashing horrible before, but today's updated package seems to work much better.
Please pay special attention to #2 of the parent's post. I tried using KDENLIVE to make a simple home video DVD, and everything was fairly intuitive until I tried to export it. I'm not a video formats export and all the cryptic options made me waste a lot of CPU cycles and DVDs.
If it had even a slight bit of "wizardry" it would make my life much easier.
Well, my big question about this whole "open network" thing is this:
Will this force the carrier to just give me a pipe, or can I still be nicked-and-dimed? It seems like it would be really easy, even if the carrier didn't want it, to stuff a data stream into a voice connection or something of the sort to give me a real internet connection.
And if carrier certified x-phone, couldn't someone just make a linux device that accepts the chip and pretends to be x-phone but lets me do what I want?
I may be way off base here, but "open networks" would appear to require them to just sell a connection instead of a big mash of options. Can anyone who knows how phone protocols work enlighten me?
Every bill should have to be read in it's entirety before a full session before they can vote on it. That would put a quick stop to 6-inch thick bills.
I personally don't like online distribution because unlike static optical disks, the DRM format owner can wreck it at any time they want, and I don't want to go to the trouble to convert everything to a real format.
BTW "I'm a fiscal conservative, it's a pity we don't have a political party anymore" Have you looked at Ron Paul?
Well done, America, well done. Who advised you on this, the RIAA/MPAA/copy protection industry? Apparently the same folks who advised them on gun laws.
I am personally against the current form of net neutrality. I think that government intervetion is almost always bad. The ONLY regulations that should be passed:
1. All backbone providers must allow other providers to connect to them on a naked pipe. 2. All providers must use standard protocols*. 3. Providers may only throttle data/bandwidth based on protocol, not orgin/destination.
*I'd leave defining "standard" up to ICAAN, with these additional rules: 1. The protocol must be open - anyone can see how it works and get specs for it. 2. Usage or modification of the protocol must not be restricted by patents or copyright.
I believe anything more is harmful to the free market.
Take a box, fill it with metal peices, rubber chunks, etc and shake it for a LONG time. Wow! It made a blender! Then try again and make another blender with different features. Now dig around to make sure you didn't miss any other blenders.
If it seems confusing, get someone to make a super-complicated simulation particle physics simulation which shows just how the difference pieces interacted to grind gear shapes, cut and melt the rubber into tubes and stuff metal into them, etc. Then make some nice charts to show all the layers and the times at which different parts formed.
Hogwash. I think the bottom line is flawed and that we need to start over with something logical.
I think you are being way too hard on the judge. She (probably nontechnical) thought the email was a personal email. Just because it comes from an automated script doesn't make something automatically spam, so please don't cite that as the sole basis of your bashing.
I sent the judge a polite email and simply suggested that she should have used a technical consultant who could have verified that the email as spam. This isn't that terrible of a mistake; it's just another example of the problems of nontechnical judges judging technical issues.
I'm pretty sure there are some flaws in your thinking. I was in a coal mine recently (Iron Mt.), and the tour center there used air from the cave to keep the place cool in the summer. They said that the temperature is very very stable.
But I guess it does have air moving at a respectable clip from the air hole at one end of the mine.
(It was amazing that men with hand tools dug a hole big enough to put the entire Empire State building in with only the antenna sticking out! And in the dark too.)
I think you mean http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsela I was playing with some of those just the other day (got tons of them from various sources). They are some of the coolest toys ever made. It is a shame, though, that the new owner has introduced funky colors. And that it costs a fortune to buy a large enough collection to really have fun.

And yes, it does have the format stuff automated.

I'd have to back you up there: when I first installed Ubuntu I went with KDE because it seemed less foreign than GNOME. (And I'm quite happy.)

If only Ron Paul would get elected and put a stop to such nonsense.
Ron Paul seems to have a good record concerning "free rides at the expense of those who are taxed".
Hehe, that made my day!

Have you looked at Ron Paul?
There is quite a bit of evidence that Clinton was offered bin Laden on a platter several times and turn it down.
Unfortunately, I'm a geek without time or money for popular entertainment.
Gimme a break; that's either an old military security systems monitoring room or a movie set. Probably a movie set.

Ad hominem?
I know this is offtopic, but I was shocked to see that this page is already in google's index.
I'm not really angry, just exasperated. And I never use the Xerox as a verb, although I do say Kleenex and Google.
You're making this too hard:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&SubCategory=124&N=2000150124
Right there at the top is a 5/5 rated Lacie 320GB Ethernet Disk for $153.
If you want something a little more secure and flexible get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822102007
And add some of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148261
If you use two of those drives in a RAID 1 array, you have 250GB of redundant storage for a total around $370.
Photoshopped is not a verb. I'm sick of hearing it. What if they used PaintShop Pro? Would it then be Paintshopped?

Naturally the MS didn't say that, but Eich did. It seems kinda self-evident.
