Only 33267 cents per metre!

Apparently it's not a joke, despite the ad copy:
"...will bring out all the nuances in digital audio reproduction..."
"...signal directional markings are provided for optimum signal transfer..."
That's right, US$499 for 1.5 metres. I suspect the explanation is in the
first sentence:
"...designed for the audio enthusiast."
They'll buy anything. This is what's known as "cable porn".

There are problems on the main site so for the moment we are making it
available on the alternate site
http://members.shaw.ca/digitalcivilization. The current issue was
delayed for the 30'th anniversary issue to be published. The magazine is
a free PDF so enjoy...
Like last time I was editor, I apologise to any current advertisers as
I do not have access to the ads or graphics normally in the magazine.
The next issue will be put together during the first weekend in August
and should …
[View More]appear (somewhere) shortly thereafter. Anybody wishing to
contribute articles can contact me at this address.
Later

I love SUSE but I can't stand the way it implements cron.
Instead of using the usual /etc/crontab file to schedule cron.daily,
weekly etc, it creates files in /var/spool/cron/lastrun and uses the
file dates to schedule it's next run.
And it's completely arbitrary as to when things run. If you create
something in cron.weekly, it will execute it immediately and then
continue to execute it at that same time every week.
That doesn't sound so bad until you realize it uses the change
timestamp, …
[View More]not the modify or access timestamp.
And I'll give you one guess which timestamp you can't manually override
with touch? You guessed it, it's the change timestamp.
So if you want to change your scripts so that they run next Sunday at
4am, you have to change your system clock back to last Sunday and
"touch" the files.
I'm really hoping someone has a better solution than this...

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting on Tuesday, June 10. The meeting topic for this month is
as follows:
Django
This month, Bill Reid will discuss and demo Django, a high-level
Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean,
pragmatic design. It has many of the same advantages as Ruby on Rails.
The group holds its general meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of
every month from September to June. (There are no …
[View More]meetings in July and
August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a
MUUG member to attend.
**********************************************************************
Please note our meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave.
(between Edmonton and Kennedy). When you arrive, you will have to
sign in at the reception desk, and then wait for someone to take you
(in groups) to the meeting room. Please try to arrive by about 7:15pm,
so the meeting can start promptly at 7:30pm. Don't be late, or you may
not get in. (But don't come too early either, since security may not
be there to let you in before 7:15 or so.) Non-members may be required
to show photo ID at the security desk.
Limited parking is available for free on the street, either on Ellice
Ave. or on some of the intersecting streets. Indoor parking is also
available nearby, at Portage Place, for $3.00 for the evening. Bicycle
parking is available in a bike rack under video surveillance located
behind the building on Webb Place.
