Re: Real reason why Netflix is not on Linux (article)
So he rags on netflix for the entire article. Then at the end surmises that it's probably not even their decision to make.

Re: Sound Issues
If you want to whine about the audio sounding like AM radio, go listen to TWiT and deal with their pristine-sounding tripe about iPads and whatnot. I'll stick around TLLTS, h4cked, and others like them where the quality of the content more than makes up for the lower fidelity in sound. Actually Twi...

Re: Sound Issues
Technically speaking, there is nobody that does a show the same way we do. Comparing us to ANYONE else who is doing either a live show or a "podcast" is comparing apples to oranges. I remind you we stream live, many times with more than 7 people on at a time, all coming from different places in the...

Re: Sound Issues
This argument keeps coming up again and again. Some people seem to be fixated on the audio quality, while others like myself feel that the content is king. Framing this as an either/or debate is wrong. Better audio quality is not some inverse proportion to content where improving audio quality lowe...

It says it's based on ubuntu and uses the debian package manager. Not really misleading unless you are trying.

Re: Turd of the Week submissions
Sorry Linc Mint is still based on Ubuntu. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Mint The first line says, "Linux Mint is an operating system for personal computers, based on (and compatible with) Ubuntu," Also, Check out check out the whats new page and scroll to the end of the page. http://linuxmint....

Re: Turd of the Week submissions
Not really a suggestion for a Turd award but, Link was insisting that Linux Mint was based off of Debian. He is incorrect. It is and has been based from Ubuntu. There is a new release two to four weeks following the Ubuntu releases. Funny, there was someone arguing that point with me during the sho...

Re: Sound Issues
I'm not a podcaster so I have no idea. I listen to quite a few podcasts that have perfectly acceptable audio quality in a wide range of fidelity so I know it can be done. I listen to a lot of podcasts as well and I would like to let you into a little secret: TLLTS is not a podcast, it's a live radi...

Re: Sound Issues
Please point me to the podcasts that use the same technology or similar technology we do with as many hosts/guests coming in from various sources of which we have no control that has any better sound quality than we do. The only way I see of improving anything at this point is to move to skype and ...

Re: Sound Issues
I think that you should change the entry to my original suggestion and just have one line that reads...We are unwilling to spend any money to improve sound quality. It's straightforward, concise and leaves out any unconvincing excuses. And what shall we spend our money on? What windows based soluti...

Re: Sound Issues
1. We are all from different locations in the US and each host has different conditions they have to deal with. We do try to mitigate the issues as much as possible, but sometimes it just can't be fixed. 2. We use a technology called VoIP utilizing the Open Source program called Asterisk. Since Ast...

Re: Sincere Question...What Does Linux Offer A Computer User?
My vpn for work works great under Linux. I'm happy as a pig in mud. If only it was true. For the longest time I’ve been using the CiscoVPN client for Linux to connect to my job’s vpn when working from home. It functions o.k. but there are some annoyances. Every time a new Linux kernel came down the...

Re: Learn linux.
Thanks for the advice guys. I'm going to get a few books and start messing around with slackware. You may as well get used to trying them all. You will eventually encounter a deal breaker in all of them and the never ending hunt for a distro will begin. You may convince yourself that you are just s...

Missed Opportunity Episode 297
In regards to the segment discussing Bryan from the Linux Action Show's linux sucks presentation. I found it unfortunate that Chess would spend so much time making arguments without listening to his points.

Re: Photo Editing and Video Editing apps
You would have to have complete file compatibility for a conversion to be made. One of my brothers works in a small town paper and has even tried gimp, but he does not want to go through the learning curve or file compatilibily issues. He owns both Apple and MSWindows based computers. He is really ...
