I think they're about $20-$30. One of the byproducts of using the rf modulator is that it removes macrovision, I think, so you could plug it into the VCR and record DVDs on channel 3. > > Steve > > ____________________ > BYU Unix Users Group > http://uug.byu.edu/ > ___________________________________________________________________ > List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list -- Michael Torrie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --__--__-- Message: 4 Date: Sat, 29 Mar 2003 20:39:28 -0700 From: Walter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [uug] Can I source .emacs from within emacs?

I've come to the conclusion that the Unix Users Group (or what ever it might become) have really only two needs: 1) A place for our e-mail/web server 2) A way to get rooms reserved for meetings/installfests I really am not concerned with who sponsors us as long as a department=20 can fulfill these requirements.

Cry me a river. Bias is one thing that has gone in M$'s favor for years now. You can't tell me that companies like Dell and Gateway are not bias toward Micro$oft. I guess bias is okay as long as it is in your favor. And innovation? Whatever. Everything I have read lately about what the next windows will have on it I look at it and say... I've been using that option for years. Apparently, the next windows will have multiple desktops (NO WAY!) and a few other things that Linux ALREADY has. Innovation? More like catching up.

Jack Valenti, the president of the MPAA, responded to this concern by pointing out that digital is forever. Therefore, there is no need to make a backup of your digital movies: http://www.hpronline.org/news/347207.html?mkey=3D628413 Besides, copying means that you are a pirate. Copying means that you are a bad person. Copying means that you will go to jail. If, by some odd chance, something bad happens to your original media, you can just go to Walmart and buy another copy. You see? It's simple! So there is really no need to make a backup.
