• Capturing video off your Comcast/Motorola DCT64xx DVR over the FireWire port and into your XP box? Robert promised a link on the show, and here it is! • Vonage ain't dead yet, Craig. They still have over 2 million customers, and it should take years for the Verizon suit to finish winding its way thru the courts. • Cell phones are our first alternative to POTS/landlines. If you're that nervous about Vonage, we cover Skype, CallVantage and other VoIP replacements for POTS lines. Check for 911 support before you go with any VoIP provider if it's your only line! • PCMag's Davis Janowski has a good writeup worth checking out if you're considering dropping your telephone service and going with VoIP: Voipin' With Your Eyes Wide Open • DLTV's Folding@Home team rocks: We've broken 600 on the Folding@Home rankings! • Did Robert say "FLAC?" Yup, he did. It's the Free Lossless Audio Codec, and it's considered pretty spiffy by folks that love pure audio goodness. • Winamp Alternatives Part One, aka Audio Players That Aren't iTunes, or Windows Media Player: Greg, John, Dyna and JKL say Foobar2000 looks simple, but has a powerful set of backend features, supports tons of audio formats and it's very customizable (thanks Infecto for the very shiny link!). musikCube is clean, simple, open source, and very not resource intensive... thanks Erik and Jean-Richard for the heads up. One more, say Ruhaan, Patrick and Jag, Songbird! Built on the same code base as Firefox, it supports local audio playback though it doesn't really shines until you point it at web sources, such as music blogs. • PS: folks are still writing in to say that Winamp is better. Period. • Oldversion.com: Håkan reminds us that many older versions of programs have been phased out/updated for security reasons... so be careful what you download and run! • 500GB hard drive recco? No problem, Billy, but FireWire only enclosures aren't very common. You'll probably have to go with a USB/FireWir
