As an aside - there are a lot of MythTV users (and I'm sure others) who *really* appreciate this service. If there's any way to pass on a Thank You then please do so :) David - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

Re: [backstage] Broadcasters to launch joint VoD service
And more importantly, why did you just send a suspicious file in you email? What are you doing sending .dat files anyway? For the record, Google Mail (or Gmail, if you're in the US) automatically threads every message in Backstage correctly; you can also use its excellent filters to sort mails into a particular folder; and you can hit the m button, which mutes any conversation, whenever the conversation descends into DRM (rights) and open source licences. Highly recommended - it's what I use all the time. The thing that reminded me to have a quick read through Backstage was this interesting quote from Linus Torvalds, held within http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/12/linus-torvalds.html ... I dislike the frothing-at-the-mouth ideology (to me, ideology should be something personal, not something you push on other people) and I think it's much more interesting to see how Open Source actually generates a better process for doing complex technology, than push the freedom angle and push an ideology. An excellent quote which I will endeavour to use in 2008 every time the zealots start drowning out the conversation. (Curiously, it's also applicable, with a few word changes, to religion too). //j - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

[backstage] Programme Catalogue offline
Hi folks, The Progamme Catalogue http://open.bbc.co.uk/catalogue/infax has been experiencing some technical difficulties and unavailable for a couple of weeks now. Much as I'm enjoying the testcard, does anyone know when it might be back online? Thanks, - Martin - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

An excellent quote which I will endeavour to use in 2008 every time the zealots start drowning out the conversation. though I suspect you will be met with similar content to almost the first reaction to that article: It's sad to see that Linus Torvalds, one of the leading figures in the Free Software movement, doesn't really care for freedom. Damn him, and his freedom to express an opinion... m - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group. To unsubscribe, please visit http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/archives/2005/01/mailing_list.html.
