Digital Terrestrial Radio Finally Getting Deployed
Topic: Technology 11:31 am EDT, Jul 29, 2005

Satellite digital radio has captured the attention of consumers and investors with its billions spent and millions of paying subscribers. But a quiet digital revolution has hit the AM and FM dials as well: more than 450 stations in the United States now broadcast one or two digital channels alongside analog ones. At least 2,000 of the more than 12,000 stations in the country are committed to adding the format.

Yay.

It sounds like what's going to happen is the existing copies
are going to be re-rated "adults only" and pulled from shelves in
most places and Rockstar is going to cut a new release sans the "hot coffee" minigame which ESRB said would get the old "M" rating back.

I can't feel much sympathy for Rockstar ... if it was dead code
that you had to patch to get into, that would be one thing, but apparently its also accessible on the PS2 version via a cheat code. For once, I can't really blame the folks that got outraged over this when it was rated without consideration of this submarine content.

GPLFlash - Flash decoder, player and plugin
Topic: Technology 12:04 pm EDT, Apr 14, 2005

] This is the homepage of the revived GPLFLash, and is
] based on Olivier Debons original work, which hasen't had
] a release since June 2000. This project hope to bring
] GPLFlash back as a free, portable and useable alternative
] to the flash-decoder released by Macromedia
] The project contains a decoding library, a player and
] (perhaps most importantly) a mozilla/netscape plugin.

I just built and installed v0.4.13 on my work machine with
Epiphany and uninstalled Macromedia's plugin. I'm really sick
of flash allowing ads to lock out the controls, etc, etc.

U: Definitely not without issues. Sound only supports
open(/dev/dsp) (not esd, etc). Plugin crashes the browser, etc.

monotone: distributed version control
Topic: Technology 10:53 am EDT, Apr  8, 2005

] monotone is a free, distributed version control system.
] it provides fully disconnected operation, manages
] complete tree versions, keeps its state in a local
] transactional database, supports overlapping branches and
] extensible metadata, exchanges work over plain network
] protocols, performs history-sensitive merging, and
] delegates trust functions to client-side RSA
] certificates.

v0.17 is out. In the aftermath of the BitKeeper stink that's going down with Linux, Linus is saying that Monotone is looking like the
most plausible alternative, at least for him, right now. Apparently it has some performance problems for Linux-size source trees.

My chief beef with it is that they roll their own crypto rather than using something off-the-shelf like OpenPGP or X.509 which IMHO is a Cardinal Sin.

The DragonFly BSD Project

] DragonFly is a fork in the path, so to speak, giving the

] direction from the one taken in the FreeBSD-5 series.

Another BSD fork...
