You'd probably still want to find it when you searched for 'good c++ tutorial' wouldn't you? I personally have no problem with Google, or their PageRank system. I occasionally hear some malcontents squaking about how it's unfair, how googlebombs shouldn't be possible, and how the 'one true search engine' will be open source. I don't buy it.

The series 1 is, yes. Series 2 machines are ARM chips, 4x the speed, and twice the memory (isn't that right Bob?) The Series 2 machines are not very hackable since the ROM verifies that the ramdisk is signed by TiVo before it runs anything and the ramdisk replaces any modified boot files with fresh copies. If you defeat the ROM (that is, dump it, modify it, make a new ROM chip, amd replace the existing ROM on the TiVo which is a SMT chip), you can then modify your ramdisk not to blow away your changes. Once your changes are not blown away, you can tweak your TiVo to your heart's content, until a new software upgrade replaces the ramdisk with one that blows away your changes and hopefully doesn't turn your TiVo into a brick when a ROM verification fails, leaving you without a TiVo till you pop the cover, put the drive in your PC, boot a custom Linux dist, and tweak everything until it works again.. Needless to say, despite how slow they are, we rather like series 1 TiVo. You can open it up and add a network card (series 2 boxes have USB ports for this purpose) and stream data right off your TiVo (pay extra to do this on a series 2 box), even copy shows from one TiVo to another (not possible with series 2) or extract video across the network, strip out the commercials using video

On really small (fine pitch) leads you often dont even touch the leads (just the lands).

The more flux you use, the more you will have to clean up afterwards, but for soldering quality, there is no such thing as too much flux. I used to use it like maple syrup (we had machines to do the cleanup). even w/out the machine, alcohol will clean up rosin flux, an even if you have to use 1/2 a bottle of alcohol to clean it up, who cares?? alcohol costs like $1 a bottle (note: do the cleanup outside so you dont have to breath rubbing alcohol all night.) I suspect you could do as good as the photo (might want a big magnifying glass in your case...)

I'm fairly comfortable in saying that the spam is probably being pulled from archives or something on the net. I've seen as significant rise in spam as my name appears more on the web. Is there any way to reduce us all to users as opposed to full email addresses? Just searching for something like assuredcomp or @yahoo.com or notanatheist will find you dozens of results. My spam levels have more than quadrupled in the last 6 months. Not entirely to blame on euglug but also on idiots forwarding crap to me too. In the short Would everyone agree on not having their full email disclosed unless used in a .sig or explicitly posted withing a message? Just my few cents.. Mr O. --- Linux Rocks !

Re: [eug-lug] I am getting SP***M - I apologize,...
Hal,
If the spam you received had gone through the list, we all would have gotten
it. I dont think that Ive seen that specific one, so I cant even say its
anyway associated with the list.
Ironicly, the email address I usually use on this list gets less spam than
any other email address I use! I dont really see the list, or its archives as
beeing an issue for spam.
My EFN account gets a ton of spam however. Ive had that account since 1995,
and the rocksolidnetworks address since 1999, so it just may be a matter of
one address being used more than the other, and around for a longer period of
time. I also only use the linux email address for mailing lists (both here in
the DC area, and back home in eugene. The linux address is also not included
in mailto: links on my webpage, but other address's that do get a lot of spam
are..
At anyrate, your always welcome to express concerns... sorry we couldnt nail
the source of your spam, but I havnt seen any effective way to do anything
about it... filtering is about your only option.
Jamie
