DVArchive V2.0 available
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=252110
DVArchive allows you to turn your PC into a "Virtual ReplayTV" that can download shows and serve them back up to your ReplayTVs as well as automated schedules and the like. DVArchive V2.0 is a major update with lots of bug fixes, lots of new features and a drastically rewritten infrastructure/plumbing. DVArchive V2.0 is now available You can read more about DVArchive at it's home page http://dvarchive.sourceforge.net DVArchive V2.0 makes some serious changes in your DVArchive.xml and Local.guide files. Please read the CHANGELOG.txt before running it and if you are upgrading, be sure to backup your Local.guide and DVArchive.xml files first. If this will be your first use of DVArchive, please review the README.txt before running it. -- Gerrys Plea :-) *** PLEASE READ THE CHANGELOG.txt and README.txt *** Most questions folks have asked are answered in the CHANGELOG.txt or the README.txt or TROUBLESHOOTING.txt. Please check them over before you report a problem
- it's good for you (quick resolution) and the community in general
(saves resources for the new issues). Thanks in advance! -- A brief
summary of new features: * Support for Replay 4xxx and 5xxx units * New, efficiant/clean/single window interface - Combined single window DVR Explorer - Context sensitive menus (regular and popup) - Full Drag and Drop support * Ability to store show files using the shows title
(vs numbers) in your local guide * New XML based guides (no more guide
corruption) * Fixes to eliminate lockups * Ability to remotely turn ReplayTV off (to free up time and speed up downloads) * Ability to edit ALL information about a show (including date/time, ratings, etc) * Periodic renegotiation of time offset (so that DVA keeps working even if your computers clock drifts over time - useful when DVA is left running all the time) There is really a lot more - the item about a new User interface is deceptive as this has literally dozens of changes/enhancements contained in it.

SCons 0.11 is now available
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=251609
SCons alpha release 0.11 is now available for download. SCons is a software construction tool (build tool, or substitute for Make) implemented in Python, based on the winning design in the Software Carpentry build tool competition (in turn based on the Cons build tool). IMPORTANT: Release 0.11 contains the following interface changes: - The default suffix for static object files when using gcc has been changed to ".os" to allow shared and static object files to exist side-by-side in the same directory. - When no command-line targets are specified, the default behavior is now to build all derived files in or below the current directory (like Make). This can be disabled by explicitly specifying "Default(None)" in an SConscript file. - Setting the BUILDERS construction variable now clears previous Builder attributes from the construction Environment. - An "env" argument has been added to the strfunction() method of Python function Actions. See the release notes for more information about these changes. This release adds the following features: - A new CacheDir() function and related command-line options --cache-disable, --cache-force and --cache-show support the ability to share derived files between builds. - Support for the IRIX platform and SGI MIPSPro tool chain. - Support for the PharLap ETS tool chain. - Support for compiling with Microsoft VC++ when running Cygwin Python. - New AddPreAction() and AddPostAction() functions. - Python function Actions can now include the contents of construction variables in their signatures. - A new strfunction() method has been added for external command Actions. - The SConscript() function now takes optional "build_dir" and "duplicate" keyword arguments that make it easier to set up a build directory. - The same Win32 object files can now be linked into either shared or static libraries. The following fixes have been added: - Fixed many (not all) situations when interrupts (CTRL-C) wouldn't actually stop a build. - Libraries in the LIBS construction variable can now explicitly include a library prefix and suffix. - The Win32 scons.bat script now has DOS-standard CR-LF line endings. - Fixed how the Environment.Append() method works BUILDERS (and other dictionaries). - Fixed how a file prefix is added when the target isn't specified. - Better error messages whene a BuildDir is read-only. - A platform or tool module can now be directly imported even after it's been included in a construction Environment. - The output of -c -n is now correct when a target is a directory. Performance has been improved as follows: - Added support for caching values when use --implicit-cache. The following changes have been made to the SCons packaging: - Added new --standard-lib, --standalone-lib and --version-lib options to the "setup.py install" command to make it easier to install the SCons build engine (library) into different locations. If no explicit library installation location is specified, the SCons "setup.py" script now looks for an existing SCons build engine in these three locations and prefers where the build engine was installed previously. The documentation has been improved: - Eliminated description of some deprecated keywords. - Updated description of BuildDir() to try to explain more clearly how to set up a build directory.

Microsoft Switcher Ads: Part 2

MacNN reports that Microsoft has sent out emails to those who have recently registered MS products, [3]looking for candidates for their 'Sensible Solutions' campaign, which will 'highlight computer professionals that have recently converted from Apple Computer products to Microsoft based systems.' Do you qualify? You must be 'a US resident with a minimum of 3 years experience as a computer professional. You must have used an Apple Computer product and a Microsoft based system as part of your work'. So when does it just stop being the sincerest form of flattery and just become utter, pathetic laziness?" Links

FTP: Better Than HTTP, Or Obsolete?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/13/2132221
An anonymous reader asks "Looking to serve files for downloading
(typically 1MB-6MB), I'm confused about whether I should provide an FTP
server instead of / as well as HTTP. According to a rapid Google
search, the experts say 1) HTTP is slower and less reliable than FTP
and 2) HTTP is amateur and will make you look a wimp. But a) FTP is
full of security holes. and b) FTP is a crumbling legacy protocol and
will make you look a dinosaur. Surely some contradiction... Should I
make the effort to implement FTP or take desperate steps to avoid it?"
Murchison Meteorite Still Contentious
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/13/1725212
An anonymous reader writes "The well-known 1969 meteorite that fell 60
miles north of Melbourne, Australia, remains [0] remarkably contentious
today. The 100 kilogram [1]carbon rock : a) contains pre-biotic
proteins and 12% water; b) harbors 50 amino acids not found on Earth;
c) favors the tell-tale signature of biochemistry based on a dominant
left-handed chirality, compared to random or racemic mixtures found in
test-tube syntheses. While terrestrial contamination (even interior to
the meteor) may discount this so-called 'Murchison meteor', its light
isotopes of carbon and nitrogen suggest the left-handed amino acids not
found elsewhere on Earth have the same ratios as the right-handed ones.
This would not be the case if, say, bacteria was just making the
left-handed ones after impact. Seems quite a controversy from
down-under."

Dragon's Lair 3D Not Worth The Effort

[0]Anonymous Coward writes "While not the best source for gaming
information, [1]CNNs Technology section has a review of Ubi Softs
[2]Dragon's Lair 3D. Long story short, according to the writer Marc
Saltzman, the game isn't worth it. In fact, the opening paragraph says,
'The only thing worse than a lousy video game is when it taints a

article, the original Dragon's Lair is one of only three video games on
