Totally inexcusable intrusion on the list bandwidth. If it had been anyone else, i would have made a strong demand for booting you out. so what if it a digression. it was pretty informative. I, for one, have begun to shut down the DTH receiver along with the TV after the Mirror piece. Had to tinker with plugs and wires as well.... shiv kumar

Exaile
by Debarshi Ray 31 Dec '06

31 Dec '06

http://www.exaile.org/trac I just happened to come across Exaile. It is a GTK+ based media player very similar in functionality to Amarok. I could not find any RPMs for it though there is a package for Edgy Eft. Installation from the tarball is nothing but 'make install', but one can easily run into dependency hell since there is no configure script to tell you what you need. Make sure you have: a. python-gstreamer b. notification-daemon c. notify-python d. python-sqlite2 e. python-mutagen You might need some more, but these are what I noticed. It is still not as polished as Amarok, but is surely nice if you can manage to install it. Cheers, Debarshi -- After the game the king and the pawn go into the same box. -- Italian proverb

[OT] foreign VOIP Services legal?
by Abhishek Daga 31 Dec '06

31 Dec '06

Hi JTD/KG and others, So whats the clarification on using Foreign VoiP services? legal? illegal? I believe one of you had made a clarification about this some time ago that as long as it does not terminate into a pstn line, it is legal. But what if it is a foreign service such as lingo, vonage or even via yahoo? thanks abhishek __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Calling for a Bof to see if it is feasible to hold a security conf in Bombay.
by gaurav chaturvedi 30 Dec '06

30 Dec '06

Hey Guys, Delhi has freedel,Bangalore has foss.in. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to hold a conf here in Bombay, and as far as the topic of this conf goes its open to debate. I say we hold a security conf. Why? because India doesn't have such a conf (AFAIK) and its a topic of interest to me. It doesn't have to be anything big,just a few guys doing some cool stuff. Please comment.

Hi, I have just created the template page for CDs4grabs for ILUG-BOM: http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/CDs4grabs I feel the CDs available and CDs wanted can be removed as the above will cater to it. This is similar to the CDs4grabs project at chennailug.org: http://chennailug.org/wiki/?title=CDs_for_Grab Any thoughts/suggestions welcome, SK -- Shakthi Kannan http://www.shakthimaan.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

[OT] reverse-engineering pacenet password is unethical?

Not the actual procedure on how to go about connecting to Pacenet with the decrypted password. It could be considered illegal if you post information that undermines the security or violates the policy of the company. Hence, I suggest only the decryption process be described on wiki.
