Comment Re:Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (Score 1) 1104

Oh yeah, I should probably also point out that the Clinton Administration considers the signing of Gramm-Leach-Bliley one of the great achievements of Clinton's Presidency.

From a list of Clinton's achievements in the National Archives

Modernized Financial Services Laws. In 1993, the laws that governed Americaâ(TM)s financial service sector were antiquated and anti-competitive. The Clinton-Gore Administration fought to modernize those laws to increase competition in traditional banking, insurance, and securities industries to give consumers and small businesses more choices and lower costs. In 1994, the Clinton-Gore Administration broke another decades-old logjam by allowing banks to branch across state lines in the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994. President Clinton fought for and won financial modernization legislation, signing the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act in November 1999.

Submission + - Streaming Video from Mac to Linux?

Neuroprophet writes: My old dual PIII Ubuntu system finally dropped dead over the weekend. This was the machine I used with an ATI captrue card to transcode and stream video to my Powerbook G4 and eeepc. I'm now planning on using my Powerbook to be the video capture machine in place of my old PIII. I've looked into capture solutions like Elgato's hybrid and 250 plus, but the software doesn't support real time streaming to Linux. I've also read that real-time solutions like Cytv can be hit or miss. I haven't heard about much success with Hauppauge or Pinnacle devices either. Anybody currently streaming real time television from a Mac to a Linux box? Are there any particular tuners and software you would recommend? I'm looking for a solution using only my two current machines and a new capture device if possible.

Journal Journal: Michael Vick to Play Again? 3

Mitch Albom said this morning that Vick will play again unless he is in jail for the rest of his potential career. He may have a point: the NBA wouldn't even let the Warriors fire Latrell Sprewell for choking his coach. Mike Tyson fought again after biting Evander Holyfield's ear off.
