OT: long - Replacing CD's? was RE: New type of copy-prot ected audio CDs are coming...
It won't be long until big labels attempt to eliminate the digital
ins and outs of equipment. The problem they face is most people
that currently use a rack system featuring digital interconnects will
NEVER revert to an analog only system. I know that I won't!
Think back to VHS, BetaMax, SVHS and LaserDisc.
VHS has incredible market share because its licensing is open.

In a nutshell.
Normal LP has two halves in the groove - the L and R channel.
A Quad channel LP still has to 'halves' in the groove. Each channel is

Greetings,
I thought this was supposed to be a list for educated people to discuss
serious development of the ogg vorbis project. In light of that, it is
amazing to see the level Mr. Segher Boessenkool drops down to in the
last posts. More or less calling people insane and accusing them of
being on crack and what not. I didn't want to post this on the list,
for there is no reason to

Vorbis in the news
OK, this is a bit out of interest for non italian-speaking
people, but, just for the record, in this respected italian news site
http://www.punto-informatico.it/p.asp?i=34338
there's an article about our favourite codec..

bitrtate peeling and lossless compression
I just read some of the discussion on the list about 'bitrate peeling' and
remembered an interview of Monty that I have read recently. In it he says
that Vorbis uses MCDTs <sp> and that these are theoretically reversable.
And now, I learn that theoretically we can use bitrate peeling to make
smaller files from larger ones, and that leads to my question. Could I

Thanks Tom. Development doldrums in another open source project
I, too, want to thank Tom for such a great software package and all the
support he has always given.
I was just reading a Slashdot interview with the Nagios/NetSaint author
Ethan Galstad. The whole article is interesting and I bet the questions
and answers would be similar for Shorewall:

caches_page questions
I''m attempting to use caches_page to speed up the loading of certain
pages on my site, and have run into a couple questions:
1) The site has ''states'' (as in U.S. states), so I have a State model
and a States controller. Going to http://sitename/states/ routes you to
the States controller, ''index'' action. The States controller looks like so:

UserEngine: stack level too deep
Hi,
I''m trying to get the UserEngine running.
I have installed the LoginEngine, added the essential lines to
environment.rb / application.rb and application_helper.rb.
Worked fine.
Then I did the same with the UserEngine and when trying to set up the
db:
rake engine_migrate ENGINE=user
I get:

Dtracing scsi
A small script to see what SCSI commands are being issued by a system:
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/chrisg?entry=scsi_d_script
Still work in progress as I needs to handle larger CDBs but it is a start, since I don''t have a disk that big it is not a problem for me yet.
Also getting the return scsi packet is a hack but so far I can see no alternative short of knowing about all the

by() subset by factor gives unexpected results
I am having trouble understanding how the 'by' function works. Using
this bit of code:
i <- data.frame(x=c(1,2,3), y=c(0,0,0), B=c("red","blue","blue"))
j <- data.frame(x=c(1,2,3), y=c(1,1,1), B=c('red','blue','green'))
plot(0, 0, type="n", xlim=c(0,4), ylim=c(0,1))

Dialplans & Holiday Dates
I have a working dialplan for our phone system with Mon-Fri, business
hours identification, etc. But what I'm lacking right now is support
for company holiday dates.
What I'd like to do is to create a database of these dates and just
update them as new years rollover.
I suspect others have done this sort of thing with Asterisk before, but
I've not found any resources so far.

undefined method `>' for nil:NilClass
I''m following the Depot tutorial in the Rails book, and have just hit a wall.
As instructed by the tutorial, I added the following code to the Product model:

When I attempt to add a new product, I''m getting an error:

Network config module won't work. -Mac address errors
Hello,
I created a module for modifying the base network settings on a
machine. However no matter what changes I make it keeps giving me the
error "has different MAC address than expected, ignoring" when the
network tries to startup.
I am testing this out on the puppet learning VM.
Does anyone see anything wrong with my code:

by() subset by factor gives unexpected results
The answer was (thanks to Mark Leeds) to do with the use of a factor
instead of a vector.

Monitoring Asterisk uptime
We have added Asterisk to a line of 'mission critical' servers at our
business, and being in the web application development business one of
the core things we do is to monitor web server availability.
I'd like to add Asterisk to the servers that our monitoring systems are
handling, and also that our SIP trunk provider has our Asterisk system
correctly registered at all times.
