Thanks for the early info. It sounds like a good show.

Sounds like a good show. This is got to be the best tech show out there; on tv or the web.

6PM EDT or 7PM EDT?

Confused.

:(

the live stream is obviously at 7pm edt!

pacific coast is 3 hours earlier than Eastern

Can't wait, these guys do an awesome job.

okay, its 2255 GMT, im not seeing the link.

:(

UK is 12:00 due to BST

I'm glad they're going to mention the wi-fi hole. I saw it over at slashdot and it freaked me out. As always, great show guys. You keep watching out for us.

Show time is at 16:00 PDT. Use the link below to see the current PDT.

Hope this helps.

Why do americans think they own the world and have different time zones to everyone else?

Greenwich Mean Time has been the World Time since 1884!!

San Francisco would be GMT -8 hours (so 16:00 "PDT") would be 00:00 GMT! not 23:00.

I love the show... but come on guys!

GMT time is a theory, so you can't be ignorant enough to point something like it's some sort of fact considering no one knows when time first begain on this earth, because gee I don't know people weren't around 4 billion years ago when the earth was formed maybe.....

I think that there has to be more about the open source world like open suse, red hat, or anything that deals with linux or unix in general. Have a great show guys, can't wait to watch it!

Ryan

California is GMT - 7:00 becasue of Day Light Savings Time

A stupid American

Stop badmouthing eachother and arguing over stupid things like timezones! Lets just enjoy the show. I can;t wait until the GeForce 8 cards come out and we start talking about them. They'll most likely have GDDR4 memory clocked at some insanely high speed like 900Mhz. Or Higher.

Synchronize your watches - or GMT sundial for Ryan -
only 5 minutes left. Yeah!!!

Any one else having a problem with the streaming link ? im getting media player error that path to file may be incorrect. -this sux

It definitely is, I love it.

Best tech show around.

Here we go lagging now :P

daddyoli - Try using firefox...I use IE7...for some reason it wasn't connecting, so I opened up firefox and it worked...so try opening the steam up on fire fox.

Man that bunny is cute,but yea the ears are very distracting.

is everyone have lag too?

HAHAHAHAHA I AM THE KILLER BUNNY!

I can't begin to tell you just how liberal the views of the "anything goes" American Library Association (ALA) has. It has had a long history of it. Thanks Pat! But I must say at least you admitted your bias, sort of.

Tried using both firefox and IE6 and no luck get error message from Windows media player.

Yeah same here. someone said oon Tuesday that Firefox had a bug, but I donno, all I know is I can't get the stream after the upgrade to Firefox/1.5.0.6..anybody have an a Idea??

I'm getting the same problems with connecting to the stream..

"unable to establish a connection to the server"

hit the magic button called "details" and get the following..

"The computer that you are trying to access this file from is too busy to handle your request at this time. This can happen if the computer is not powerful enough to handle a large number of connections at a given time.
Try to play the file at another time when there isn't as much demand on the computer to provide files."

hmmm.. :)

anyways, I tried using Opera, Firefox, and even the zombie called IE.. nothing..

Wish they had the bunny setup for messages, or told us ahead of time, the website wants you to create an account and is sloooooow.

I wonder if there are limited connections set and that is why some cannot connect.

First time watching this live and having no issues so far.

Moderate Dell E510
5MB TWCable Connection

and it just stopped

(Vader Voice)

NOOOOOOOOOOooo!!

Uh-oh...I'm having blown Tricaster flashbacks. I keep getting the same 30 second bit over and over.

I can't connect to the stream! The last thing I heard was Patrick saying that they couldn't speak about the Merom benchmarks because of NDA or something like that.

My feed just cut out.

same problem...stopped

Imagine the Bunny saying "Exterminate" and the ears aiming at Robert and Patrick. Then they get blasted.

Stream is working fine at 489k

3 Mbps/256k up connection.

Does anyone know what thje bunny's name is or something? I cant seem to find a way to send a message...

Anyone else's stream die? I'm on verizon fios, doubt it is on my end.

Ok is anyone getting the feed stopping or is it just me?

I'm getting the same 30 minute clip when I re-open the stream as well. This sucks

Why do Britons think they own the world and have different time zones to everyone else?

Coordinated Universal Time has been the World Time since 1972!!

San Francisco would be UTC-7 (so 16:00 "PDT") and would be 23:00 UTC, not 00:00.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is a high-precision atomic time standard which replaced Greenwich Mean Time on 1 January, 1972 as the basis for legal civil time all over the Earth. UTC has uniform seconds defined by International Atomic Time (TAI), with leap seconds announced at irregular intervals to compensate for the earth's slowing rotation, and other discrepancies. The leap seconds allow UTC to closely track Universal Time (UT), which is a time standard based on the earth's angular rotation, rather than a uniform passage of seconds.

someone send them a message via the bunny telling them we are having trouble!!!

Right....every Thursday!!!

All good here

i just lost teh feed, omg, bbq, wtf

it would be appreciated if someone from the show would confirm to us when this stuff happens and if it will come back or if that is it for the night.

"Loyal listener"

I tried to re-install wmp 10 and I got a stream, but it seems kind of rigid, Maybe it will work now? The firefox plugin page lists wmp 10 for a plugin, but be aware if you download this, it is wmp11 Beta.

feed just died with an "internal server error" message. It was intermittent for the last 20 minutes.

technolovebunny

Everytime I am able to catch the live stream there is a problem. Sorry guys, I think its me!

I hope they were not doing the show from Beirut :p

I heard, more or less, the same thing.

mine stopped at 24:50 into the show

That thing is going to get bombarded.

Stream is back... It was down from 19:24 to 19:34, both Eastern.

everything was fine then all of a sudden.frozen.. and now i cant re-connect.
its that alien bunny I tell you..
first they take out communications !!
lol

FEED IS DEAD!RUN RUN RUN RUN!TECHTV FOREVER!

I don't have a feed.

It's still down for me...

Its going to kill us all!

Eh, I sent an email to dl.tv@ziffdavis.com, is that where everyone sends their questions?

anyone know the "To" portion to send a message via the bunny?

Guild Wars does not show up on the MMORPG charts because it is not subscription based. I believe the charts mentioned in show 82 are based on the number of active subscriptions and Guild Wars doesn't use subscriptions.

According to the show notes the name is
TECHNOLOVEBUNNY

Nice show gang. Really enjoyed it

Patrick said they were coming right back. YAY!!!

Another great show guys, thanks for the free PDF printing tips. This is the first time I've watched it live, I'm in the UK and it worked without a hitch.

The feed was fine for me...

My live feed paused about 15 seconds from the end of the show, sped up, then went fine for the last few seconds. Wasn't too bad.

1) I'm sueing you guys for ripping off my ears.
2) DLTV RULES!

I hope they get the video out quick so I can watch the last half of the show that I could not watch because feed froze.

We will just have to catch the last half of the show on friday when the downlaods are up. I would have missed the last half anyhow considering it was storming big time over here in where I live in florida. Didn't want to take a risk of my pc getting struck by lightling

We love you and love the show Patrick, but Pournelle spanked your and Pirillo' baby butts on TWIT.

Pournelle spanking PN, I think not!!!

Pournelle seems to have reached the age where you beleieve computing is as good as you need, and seemed to completely miss the point that if you're playing games you want realistic physics and greater world complexity.

He also missed the whole server side of the argument. If I can buy cheaper, faster, more efficient machines I can offer better, faster services to more customers over the net.

Thankyou for playing Mr. Pournelle, enjoy your retirement, now hand over the mantle of up to date commentart to John C. Dvorak.org/blog

I missed the live show, what PDF tools did they recommend?

Al,
How many Operating systems and Diff OS have you EVER tried??

Iv done 4, and THERE ARE BETTER, or WAS. Until MS took and besieged the world, and over marketed all the others.
For its TIME the Amiga was one of the BEST.
Then the B-Os Hardware was great.
dont think that Just because you are being fed Pablem, they there ISNT any real food out there.

Well, my stream last night was near perfect, and I'm in the UK and was also streaming via WiFi.

Thanks for the free PDF tips. Just downloaded CutePDF. I've been using PrimoPDF before but it fails for some documents. Hope you list the other alternatives in the show notes.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT THE DL.TV FORUMNS ARE A SHOW OF ITSELF AND I LOVE READING WHAT IS SAID HERE. I HAVE MANY LAUGHS. THANK YOU ALL FOR THOSE WHO COMPLAIN. I FEEL SO GOOD THAT IM NOT THE MOST LAME PERSON JUST DOING HIS DAILY LIFE OF WORK AND SCHOOL WORK AND SCHOOL. ITS MAKES ME FEEL SO WONDERFUL TO FEEL THAT THEIR ARE OTHERS, YOU GUYS, WHO ARE MORE LAME THEN ME.FOR THOSE WHO ARE LIKE ME, WHO CARES WHAT PEOPLE SAY IN HERE, JUST LET THEM DO THEIR THANG ENJOY THE LAUGHS LOL, REMEMBER WHAT THEIR DOING MAKES YOU LOOK BETTER THEN THEM + + + + +

Patrick, Robert. Great show, I watch it everytime its posted.

I smelled smoke - yep I have an idea (prolly mentioned in way earlier episodes by someone else..but here goes)

Would creating a uniform way for viewers to rate content topics and video quality/delivery be useful or just overkill? I mention this after seeing BobSam's posts, where he puts comments after each of your posted topics. That could be easily put on a webform. Hmm, of course, it would become a problem if the same people were rating/voting under different names, then the data would be skewed. That would probably prompt a need for logging in and such. Just a thought for more feedback to you guys :)

Some people are more about filling out forms than chatting in here or sending emails, in my opinion (ok, I'll use the webspeak: IMO)

On a Thankyou Note:
I can't wait to hear about the Meroms! :D
If the money tide doesn't go out, I'll be able to get one. Ehm, this would be used for Home and Travel use, of course! N'er would I hook it up at work to the non-corp net connections ;) (-the internet we provide to customer engineers so they can hook up their laptops outside of our intranet)

Sounds like another finely crafted info infused parlay! I'll look forward to it in the morrow (well now today). Thanks Guys!

(aka Larry)

can u plz post the videos in a format compatible with the podcasting software in nokia smartphones?

Thanks Guys, for the NoteBookReview.com Merom link! I'll keep a look out, especially for Lenovo flavors! I like their keyboards and sleek looks! :) Though I did like my Dell Inspiron 8100's keyboard, it was the 7.1 Lbs that made me wish for a lighter one. (no, it didn't blow up - it got stolen ..while at work, right around the time of a layoff... :( )

PDF's
I think I'd found cutePDF afore, but, at the time, was looking for a way to annotate an existing protected pdf that I did not create. I wanted to make suggestions for correcting errors and note some aesthetics issues.
If you guys know of a way to do that (without having to crack the pdf's password), that would be awesome!

Office Automation:
What all are you're feelings about TabletPCs?

Where I work we do a lot of filling out routers (a step-by-step procedure form) for the assembly of military comm antenna systems and use routers to track the assembly. Its pretty tedious to say the least.

I think that TabletPCs could help automate the input process and eliminate tons of paper. Using digital ink also allows for correcting errors and not having to print a new copy of a page. Of course when dealing with the government agencies, efficiency takes a back seat to ehm "traditional" methods (pen paper handstamps). Then there is of course the cost of implementation, wireless connectivity issues and security.

I think its great that the Medical industry (hospitals etc..) have embraced this technology. It just makes sense, so long as there is redundant backup power and data backup systems in place.

Great show, once again!

Someone should let Patrick know he can just do Ctrl+T for a new tab, or double click the tab bar. No need to go to file.

I didn't know that! Saves a few clicks! Thanks!

Hi Guys!
I was surfing a bit on Google on another tab in FireFox 1.5.0.6., I left my desk... to go do some work ;) and when I came back there was this Firefox Pop-Up dialog there.
It asked what do with a file named:
AD_presentation.ppt
I didn't think to do a screenshot of it :(
The address listed on it was:
http:\\www.nhsp.com
This DLTV page was loaded on the other tab.
I clicked cancel on the dialog, I didn't want it hanging around.
As far as I could see on Google, theres a nhsp.com.cn and nhsp.com.ar.

Did a search on the filename and it comes up with a cyrillic url:
http:\\company.expres.ua\pdf\ad_presentation.ppt

I reversed the slashes so no one would click on it.

It may be a legitimate file, but I'd rather not find out. I don't believed I clicked on any ads anywhere, none that mentioned a presentation of any kind anyway. >:(

Any ideas? Thanks Guys!

Intentsly

This link leads no where

Hmm, questionable pop-up.. but from where?

intensly, it was probably a virus that exploit a new discovered flaw in ms powerpoint

if you got a link that actually works ill h elp you

Did you Google search the filename? It came up for me as the one listed above, though that one ...could be legit. Being the popup of questionable origin, I don't think they'd want a valid link pointing to it. If it comes again, I'll get a screenshot. With all the zero-day attacks, I wasn't about to touch an unknown .ppt file. Thanks!

When I upgraded my video driver from 81.98 to 91.31 the video started to studder badly. No combination of settings seemed to resolve it on my Sharp 37" LCD.

I "downgraded" the driver and life was again good.

You guys should paste dvoraks face on that bunny and keep him on as a sidekick

Get a Panasonic DVD S97 or S77 not the Oppo you HTHiFi zombies.
Better buys, better quality, HDMI w/ DCDI w/ minimized macroblocking issues.

Love the show guys. Thanks for all your hard work!

My roommate had a problem associated with the screen shaking. He fixed this by not jerking off in forn of the PC. Just a thought.

Pat and Robert keep talking about Vizio TVs. But everytime I've played with them at Sam's Club they always look way more yellow looking then all the others. Is it really worthy the price break?

Donladed, used and not deleted - remain on computer. Good info - thanks.

I think that college kid needs to find a different site to post his raunch.

I think that Brian Shephard should ehm explain what the heck he's talking about and keep his holyfarce to himself.

Apart from all that... I've not had anymore popups asking me to download anything weird.

Intentsly

I noticed that both my antivirus (Symantec) software and my spyware (Spybot) have flagged CutePDF as having spyware included. Both flagged USave which was installed with CutePDF.

Intentsly,
In the nicest way possible, no one cares what you think if it does not pertain to the show.

I had SpySweeper and Spybot and McAfee tag it.
It seemed cool, but I hope you guys adress this.

I thought that CutePDF did a good job of giving one the option of not installing USave, which I did not.
Why did you?
Can you not read?

To: Guest
I agree Guest, its not about me nor is it a place to throw raunchy comments and not a place for an ad for some sports krap. I made the comments about people who were not adding value to this forum/show, by doing the aforementioned.

In a different light, it is kind of nice to chat amongst posters and express opinions. You know, a collaboration of ideas and questions.

Intentsly

I did not install USave. It has still been tagged and I was hoping they might address this real quick on the show or somewhere on the site.

Another reason Guild Wars might not be counted is because it's argueable as to whether it's an MMORPG. Players don't all play within the same world most of the time (only in cities are they together, and even then it's got several channels for each).

Also after playing the game for about a year I can tell you the game has gotten to be utter crap.

Apple Rolls Out New Desktops and Servers
Say goodbye to PowerPC chips. Although there were rumors of...

THe bunny is aweet he has to be on the show in the background all the time, at least in silent mode. I am so going to buy one.

I thought you might want to know that a product you recommended tries to install the "trojan.dropper.win32.agent.asf". Specifically, Acro software offers the "CuteFTP Companion" along with CuteFTP. However, the adware WhenUSave is required for the companion to work. When I tried to install WhenUSave, my copy of F-Secure (with latest virus definitions) alerted me to the presense of the trojan within WhenUSave's setup.exe file.

Acro's response? F-Secure, one of the most respected security products on the market, is a "cheap security application".

It only took me ten minutes to find out that Acro is malware, based on the trojan and their extremely unprofessional attitude. Maybe you guys want to actually investigate a company before recommending it?

Next time I'll take any advice from your show with a huge grain of salt.

(I've fwded the entire correspondance to DLTV as proo.)

err... "proof"

damn that sticky f key! :P

I downloaded and installed you CutePDF.
It set off Defender (which nothing does),
McAfee AntiSpyware and Spyware Doctor.
It set them all off. Was that a test or what.
The one I sent you didn't move a thing.
Thanks testing my Spyware Software.

Really enjoyed the introduction of the Nabaztag bunny device on your show. With much of the support and API resources written in French, I was motivated to launch an English website for Nabaztag owners to swap info and stories. You can find it at http://www.nabaztalk.com
