A Fearless Author Daring to Compare Jack Bauer and Harry Potter

A fearless author Adam Hoff tries to compare Jack Bauer of 24 and Harry Potter. This is an outrageous insult to Jack Bauer, unbelivable.Mr. Hoff states in this blog “However, one of the good things to come out of my daily ponderings of 24 is that I’ve stumbled on a striking similarity between Jack Bauer, CTU Agent extraordinaire, and Harry Potter, boy wizard. This may seem like an odd pairing, but just check out the evidence.”

Here are the striking similarities between a world class hero and that stupid boy. How dare one can mention the two in the same article

Basic Requirements for CMS Projects

Excerpt from http://www.wareprise.com/open-source-php-content-management/

• People with average knowledge of word processing can create the content directly.
• Little or no HTML knowledge needed.
• Content is managed through a cycle of capture, storage, retrieval publication, presentation, versioning, and archiving.
• Users are assigned roles and permissions that prevent them from editing content which they have no rights.
• Publishing of content can be time-controlled, hidden for later use or require user login with password.

Profanity in Open Source

I recently received an email from one of registered users of the ocszone.com

The email follows;

This email is obviously from someone who does not know what GPL means. Indeed, let me rephrase; from someone who does not know how to read.

ocszone.com clearly states - in multiple places- that the software we develop and distribute is free of charge unless stated otherwise. Most of those notices are in different colors and bold, so that they will be eye-catchy. And we do NOT demand any private and financial information.

Transfer Video to Tivo

I am not a big TV fan, but Chad’s recent article on OpenSourcePenguin.net might be valuable to some.

Written by Chad Auld
Apr 11, 2008 at 09:02 PM

Every so often I have the need and/or the desire to move some local videos on to my Tivo. These could be home movies, videos I have downloaded off the web via bittorrent, etc. I’ve messed with a variety of solutions over the years, but for my own records and perhaps for your benefit I thought I’d just document it here.

The tools I am using the most these days for this task are Galleon and VLC.

Galleon is a free open source media server for the Tivo DVR which allows you to enjoy many kinds of content and interactive applications right on your TV. The server runs on your home computer and organizes your media collection so that they can be viewed on your home network. Galleon also brings Internet content and applications to your TV.

VLC media player is a highly portable multimedia player for various audio and video formats (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, mp3, ogg, …) as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols.

……

The rest is here.
