Yeah, that's the Nagravision that the article mentions at the end. There were programs that could use a TV capture card and decode it in real time on a 486DX2. They worked pretty well (I felt ok using it because we already had Canal+ b

Draw, draw, draw, draw. Don't try to be good; just draw. Look for one thing you can improve on, then practice until you get a little better at it. Then look for the next thing and repeat. You are always going to think that you could

You know, this is funny because QBasic did not use EDIT.COM. Instead, QBasic was the editor and EDIT.COM was a simple program that called "QBASIC /EDIT" :-)

Modern smoke detectors, at least here in the US, have a 10-year sealed non-replaceable battery.

Ah yeah, E4000 tuner, those were hard to come by even 10 years ago, so I didn't support them. Only R820 and R828 and compatibles...

If you don't know, it probably isn't; they brand it quite extensively both outside and in the USB manufacturer strings (it appears as "Blog V4" in the device selection window.) If it is indeed not one of them, I'd b

Is your stick an RTL-SDR Blog V4? Because it looks like the failure happens when accessing a R828D tuner, which should be supported.

Naturalized citizen here: it's not hard at all. You've had the green card for 10 years so the marriage is not even a consideration. For once, you'll be on the "friendly" side of USCIS that wants you to succeed, not

I'm Spanish too, so hopefully I can explain. The problem is that everyone treats the SSN as if it were a secret number known only to you, so they use it as both an identifier and an authenticator. In Spain, however, most people know to

The nautical mile is the length of a minute of arc along a great circle on the surface of Earth. I think the 14.4m figure is wrong; that should be 15.4m, which is the distance covered in 30 seconds by a vessel going at 1 nautical mile per h
