SExpand @macrumpton: Click the image for the full size to see what I'm talking about. Here's a side-by-side shot of Miro and MPC, both playing the same frame of "Pioneer One" S01E01 720p (h264) mkv file. Notice the difference in quality. XBMC and Boxee are comparable to MPC, I just used that for a quick screen shot (not full screen by default). Even if you don't want to go the media center route, and are content with Miro for downloading, I highly suggest you get a good graphics card (if you need one) and a separate program to decode and play back the files. Miro is not comparable to a true Media Center by any stretch of the imagination.
Things Miro is lacking: • Good support for remotes and internet/eventserver based control for phones. • Proper databasing (sort by name, aired date, release date, actor, genre, MPAA/TV rating, duration...) • Auto-discovery of missing supplemental media (Fanart, screen caps, cover art, subtitles and lyrics etc.) • Boot as an OS for HTPCs • Media flagging.

Their are lots of duplicate costumes. @BigCanada: 1. 2. I envision a system that recognizes that a group has arrived, estimates the number of people (erring on the high side) and dispenses candy. Voice prompting from the system will help the trick-or-treators to know what to do. Multiple trips to the door will result in multiple candies, yes.

@hahn: I don't know about all that. With the right safeguards in place, I think this would be secure enough for my tastes: 1. Ensure it only responds to messages from ones' own phone. (Perhaps with a log of attempts from other users.) 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Believe it or not, I'd feel a bit more secure with this system (with some tweaks) than a traditional lock-and-key system for the same reason I feel better about having extraneous cards in my wallet: If my phone (or overstuffed wallet) is missing, I'm going to know it.

I appreciate what you're saying here, but I tend to disagree with most of it. I think things like text expansion actually offer an alternative to the shorthand writing conventions that have been ushered in with the era of SMS and Twitter. Text expansion is able to yield identical results in fewer keystrokes. This promotes efficiency, not laziness. In fact, I would argue that text expansion actually serves to mitigate some of the adverse effects of laziness. I'm curious as to whether you use predictive text on your phone. Do you think T9 (or other) promotes laziness as well? Naturally, I would expect you to respond that there are certain circumstances and modes of communication among which "laziness" is excusable, if not appropriate, and I'd have to agree.
I can't agree with your comparing the writer to a musician playing an improper chord either. K thx 4 reading thru that ^ =p lol P.S. Lighten up, Mr Angsty One True Writer. I can see your point.

The author didn't want to have to bring up KDE's "activity" support that lets you change background, widgets, multple desktops, running programs, etc. all at once according to an assigned "activity".
"A user likes web comics so they add their favorite web comics via the comics widget. The user now has a full desktop activity dedicated to their favorite web comics. Now the user is happy with the web comics, but the user now has to go to work, so the user creates an activity with the folder view widgets set to the folders of the projects the user is currently working on. After work the user goes home and works on a side project of writing romance novels. -KDE user guide. Automation News, Videos, Reviews and Gossip - Gizmodo. Automation News, Videos, Reviews and Gossip - Gizmodo. For door locks, I went with the medium-tech approach: electronic keypad locks. Schlage, for example, makes a line of electronic keypad locks that can generally fit into existing door lock holes. For me, it was a simple matter of unscrew/remove old lock, screw in/install new lock, and program new lock.
However, possible downsides include (this is for the Schlage electronic deadbolt that I use): * The visible parts of the locks are a bit big/wide. . * It's a keypad: if someone sees you enter your combination, you're screwed. . * Unlocking with a key is slightly funky: insert key while holding handle, turn key 90 degrees without turning handle, push key in, turn handle to lock/unlock.
