  1. oh, good, when you are installing... format the second hard drive and mount it as /home, all your data will now go on to the second hard drive.

    no need to format it - coz format would mean for me "delete" - just edit the fstab and I would suggest to mount it in a separate folder than home, as far as it goes, if you partition your first hard disk by default, "/home" will be on the first harddisk and include in /root partition - so mounting "/home" to another disk - that's shaky!

    :arrow:

  2. ... So from the horses mouth: Payed your fee? Downloaded away!

    Wow, thats amazing, did you tape the conversation as that would have been excellent if you had.

    Now if the BBC would start releasing their content via bittorrent we'd be sorted.

    Although still the problem with people getting it without paying the license.

    is it a UK thing, this thing with the license! coz I live in Switzerland! not sure what you guys mean by license!

  3. Just go this from the BBC Copyright policy

    Recordings
    
    If you want a recording, our copyright agreements only cover broadcasts. The rights for further distribution of programme recordings have to be negotiated as separate agreements. Therefore we can only provide a recording if it has been made commercially available.

    What do they mean as "separate agreements"? like I need to call BBC and say "Can i download it from the Torrent?" :lol: actually I just send them an email... wonder if I will get an answer :roll:

  4. The problem is in the T&C of the licensing agreement, if you tape things of the TV (which we will parrallel with downloading them off the net) your arn't supposed to keep them for long, a couple of months at the most.

    Obviously people do keep them for longer and the BBC would be a prime candidate for releasing their content freely on the internet, the problem is stopping it get into the hands of people that will distribute it to people who don't pay the license fee (i.e. people in other countries.)

    This would probably be in the form of some horrible DRM which nobody would want and would require that you connect to the net to watch the content and check you are in the UK (even then there are ways round it).

    so you mean that watching the shows of BBC and deleting them afterwards would therefore be legal? :?

    is that the same with mp3 which you can keep like for 24 hours?

    thx

  5. Well if its copyrighted and not released under Creative commons or some other license that allows you to freely distribute it then your not allowed to download it.

    I don't know BCC but if you mean BBC then your not allowed to download that, apart from if it is released on the website, but even then you need to read the T&C carefully.

    yah i meant BBC! ok got it - thanks

  6. I’m not saying they are good but in my opinion they are better then Ubuntu. It’s like comparing Windows 95 and 98 both are shit but I preferred 98.

    you're still not saying why Ubuntu is sh** - I mainly and only use Debian but will recommend Ubuntu to beginners coz it's still Debian based.

    Talking about the install, I have to disagree, Debian is much more harder to configure when Ubuntu installed on a laptop for instance has all the cpu temp. and intel centrino chipset supported ... no need to dig into dependencies and resolve stuff

    anyhow.....

    see ya, gotta go have dinner :lol: "fish and potatoes"

  7. SUSE is a better polished desktop OS and Fedora is a better server/desktop beginner distro.

    SUSE is heavy, takes too much ressources and uses its own config file, so in /etc/X11/ for example, you get two Xfree86 config files, one that Yast uses and the other one.... that's pretty stupid!

    Fedora does not respect the universal designation of the system folders such as /etc/ /bin/ and so on... they put files and stuff a bit everywhere according to their own "standart"-.... goes the same with Red Hat

    :arrow:

  8. You're all just putting words into my mouth. In no way do I think I'm a hacker, god the only programming language that I even know is Turing (lol) I learnt it in a tech class.

    You're judging me and you don't even know me. You don't know what I'm like, or what I can even do. I don't need to prove shit to any of you.

    well yes you do actually! PROVE YOUR SELF...

    well we put words in peoples mouths all the time...

    its sort of our kind of welcoming to the community.

    prove :P

    :lol:

  9. Why not go get a real one?

    No no.. I will never want to get a fake degree - cheating and falsification are not what I believe in...

    but i can't believe things like that exists! imagine a fake doctor...

    oh well.... i guess i remind myself everyday that I live in a sick world...

  10. Oulala guys - any help or advice would highly be welcome

    I switch from my old hosting to Dreamhost - well first impression the hosting service is good - not sure about their support service, sent a ticket for a problem, but did not get the answer back yet!

    ok... so yesterday I switch hosting service, update my dns record with GoDaddy

    type the url.. everything works... i can access the new server - so apparently no DNS problem

    any idea? anyone here using Dreamhost -

    thanks

  11. did not try it to see if it works... but if it does.. then that's scary...

    a solution would be to disable dos prompt for all users beside the Admin :roll:

    Actualy, that wouldn't solve the problem. When cmd is launched via task sceduler it is launched as system. System is the non-user interactive root (where as the administrator acount is the user interactive root). Even if command prompt is blocked and stops a user having to manualy type in the at command, the user can just as easily write it into a batch script. Failing that, write a program that gets the current time, adds a minuet to it, then executes the at command for the user.

    ok i see...

    well anyway... you gotta be Admin to execute it, or am I mistaken?

  12. great program, excellent job, until...oops. i upgraded to flash 9. and realized too late this was a no-no. went back thru the thread, uninstalled palyer 9, reinstalled player 8, reinstalled pandora's jar, etc. but am still getting no player showing when site opens. tried various cuts and pastes on computer...at my ability's end. any suggesstions? any chance program will be written for player 9?
