Re: Google Chrome Browser

In downloading and inspecting the s...

Re: Google Chrome Browser
The EULA for Chrome is interesting. I was a little surprised to see that it's not free software. http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10030522-2.html 1. Google reserves the right to automatically update and install Chrome. This is becoming standard fare with much software these days, but worth notin...

Re: Gates: Open Source Doesn't Allow You To Improve Software
So how can I improve Microsoft's software, other than working for the evil giant?

Re: Timer for cat /dev/video0 command ?
In such a small script, you don't even need to store the pid in an external variable. Only when a program is run in the backgroud is its pid stored in $!. Not that it hurts to do so anyway :mrgreen:. The comments speak of checking for the cat command so you don't kill some other process. Would the c...

Re: Timer for cat /dev/video0 command ?
you could do something like:
just replace 100 with the amount of seconds you want to run. you can also do
and FYI, bash replaces $! with the process id of the cat command.
Code: Select all
cat /dev/video0 > filename.mpg &
sleep 100
kill $!Code: Select all
#for 10 minutes
sleep 10m
#for 1 hour
sleep 1h
#or even 1 day

Re: Mythbusters on MSVista
Sorry, but Ubuntu comes with more shit that I don't need than Windows(aside from being Windows, which I don't need
). That being said, the software in Ubuntu still is much more stable.

Re: Southern racists adopt "Canadian" as a euphemism for "black"
Is it sad that I laughed when I read the topic? I'm not racist or nationalist(I know thats not the right word
) but being a huge fan of South Park and a moderate fan of Dave Chappelle I just couldn't help it.

In case you haven't already thought about it, you should be able to find some G4 powerbooks on ebay at reasonable prices.
