Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Your tag here.

This seems to be similar issue and the following in that link seems to have resolved it:

You can try installing the libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 package from the current stable branch ("apt-get install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2"), but you still may need to create a symlink ("ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.3"). You may also want to see if there is a newer version of whatever binary you are running, perhaps something linked against a more modern version of the library.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks Eddie! This is just a pile of hassle, but I guess otherwise it wouldn't be a learning experience. Off to fix default font 'fixed.'

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Google will sell vidio online (competing with iTunes): [link]

Like Apple's offering, Google's features just a couple partners (CBS and the NBA, in this case), further fragmenting the market.

Tivo unveiled their new Series3 unit at CES yesterday. The Series3 is a digital cable ready box, capable of recording two programs simultaneously. It supports cable and antenna input, and it can handle digital or analog cable, digital ATSC, or analog NTSC broadcasts. CableCARD is used for digital cable, and it can utilize a single multi-stream card, or two single-stream cards. The system also sports 2 USB ports, 10/100baseT Ethernet, and an E-SATA port for external storage expansion. Video output is HDMI, component, S-Video, and composite, and audio is optical digital or RCA stereo.

Well, I guess what my next Tivo purchase will be. Here's my choice:

what to do with my tax refund:

a) new couch

b) new bed

c) Tivo

I'd been telling myself that I didn't need an HD TV set until Tivo came out with their HD version. Now...

Of course, DVDs are still stuck in SD, at least until the studios pick a format. Maybe I'll wait until everything can be played in HD.
