VLC allows downloading audio/video files from an UPNP/DLNA source. Only reason why I have not ditched the ipad mini yet.

A couple months ago I was looking for some courses that could cover the new tools available on linux to measure performance: in kernel and user space. My main frustration is that there was no sign of any structured course that instruct on all these tools, and as importantly, when to and not to use each of them. Before you tell me again: no, youtube videos and blog posts are not good enough: I need to be able to sing up multiple members of different teams and be sure we all receive a homogeneous knowledge. Can Anyone share any pointers about where I could find this kind of training?

One thing I remember brightly about my childhood was that every time there was an ETA terrorist attack, the teletext was the only known place to get "rolling" updates about the details: With radio and TV you are up to the broadcaster to get more details, and usually only the last update. While with the teletext you could get both the overall information and the last updates all in a single place. Nowadays when something like this happens people turn to Twitter, either from a known source (newspaper) or from eye witnesses.

Ironically, they have put asphalt to the top of the Pikes Peak now...

What about a grey water system? neither your toilet nor your lawn needs human consumption grade water.

Spanish speaker here: when you are a child you are taught "M plus A sounds MA", no further explanation needed. Obviously we have a good bunch of exceptions to the regularity of the language:

  * B and V sounds exactly the same.
  * ll + vowel and Y + vowel sound he same.
  * Y can work as the vowel I.
  * C, K, Q and Z share and overlap pronunciation:
    + CA, CO, CU = KA, KO, KU
    + CE, CI = ZE ZI (these later two are not valid combinations)
    + QUE, QUI = KE KI. (All other Q combinations are not valid).
  * H is always mute!, except for ch + vowel which always sounds like in chocolate.
  * G and J:
    + Strong: JA JE JI JO JU, GE, GI.
    + Soft: GA, GUE, GUI, GO, GU. This makes the sounds GU followed by "E" or "I" need a special writing: GÜE
    + Ñ: no comments.

Blessing and damnation: the stressed syllable is always encoded in the word.

Bonus point: the word "sal+le", imperative of go and indirect subject of the action is the third person, can not be written as it would be said, as the two consecutive L wold become the sound of Y.

The good thing about dedicated video connectors is that with simple checks (pin 5 and 7 in short circuit), you can detect and output via passive connector adapters. That's why a DP to VGA adapter is so cheap: is is the PC that is detecting and generating the VGA signal. (See DP++ for when you are missing pins)

Analog:

- VGA: video card to computer monitor. Multiple resolutions and refresh rates. Additional display information available on connection allowing auto configuration. Point to point.

- SCART: appliance to TV connector. Audio and multiple video signal formats on the same cable. Handover signaling (tells the TV to switch to a specific input).

Digital:

- DVI: analog or digital connector (VGA fallback). Display information. Limited pixel rated. Point to point.

- HDMI: DVI without analog support, but audio signal multiplexed. Content protection. TV oriented: 1.0: Full-HD 60Hz. 3D, 4K, etc required standard updates. Inter-device signaling (CEC: remote control commands routing.)

- DP: PC oriented video signal: bandwidth oriented, multiple display video signals over a single cable: switch or daisy chaining for splitting. USB multiplexed. Audio multiplexed. Does not care about your refresh rate or resolution, only that you pixel rate is within the limits.

why not follow the smbnetfs or fusesmb and create a whole tree for all the shared discs on the network?

My other opinion about SD cars is that their analysis of the road can be used to assess the state of the infrastructures, imagine a SD car refusing to enter your street to pick you up until the pot holes are fixed
