			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This can be a pain due to a bug in the ffpmeg_frame.c file &#8230; here are the commands to get up and going</p>
<pre>yum -y install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffmpeg-php/files/ffmpeg-php/0.6.0/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2/download
tar jxvf ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2

echo 'extension=ffmpeg.so' > /etc/php.d/ffmpeg.ini &#038;&#038; /etc/init.d/httpd restart
php -v &#038;&#038; php -m | grep ffmpeg
</pre>
<p>In this process you:<br />
use yum to install ffmpeg and the ffmpeg development files<br />
download php-ffmepg from sourceforge and extract it<br />
apply the bug fix to the ffmpeg_frace.c file<br />
change directories to the php-ffmpeg directory and phpize the module<br />
configure, make and install the shared object (extension)<br />
add the extension to the loaded php extensions<br />
restart apache and verify no errors are shown on php startup and that ffmepg is loaded</p>
<p>If all is well, you should see your version of PHP with the copyrights on 3 lines and the last line showing ffmpeg</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>P is Power, also known as Volts, also known as Electromotive Force (EMF).<br />
I is Resistance, measured in Ohms<br />
E is Amps, also known as Current<br />
W is Watts, the multiplication of Power and Amperes.<br />
kW is kilo-Watts, also known as 1000 Watts<br />
kWh is kilo-Watt Hours, which is how many Watts are used in 60 minutes.</p>
<p>P = W / E<br />
I = P / E<br />
E = W / P<br />
W = P * E</p>
<p>Alternatively:</p>
<p>Volts = Watts / Amps<br />
Ohms = Power / Amps<br />
Amps = Watts / Volts<br />
Watts = Power * Amps</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have an account with BidVertiser, your password is stored in plain text and emailed back to you when you request it. This also means customer service can look up your account and get your password.</p>
<p>I informed them of this and their response was:</p>
<p>Done by: Customer Service, Publishers &amp; Referral Status: Closed Action Date: Monday, 07/04/2011 03:30 PM<br />
Respond:<br />
Dear Travis,</p>
<p>The option to include login information in our contact emails is available through your control panel, through Account Management &#8211; Edit Profile. I have disabled the option for you.</p>
<p>Best Regards,<br />
BidVertiser Support Team</p>
<p>To which I replied:</p>
<p>Done by: customer Status: Follow Up Action Date: Monday, 07/04/2011 02:03 PM<br />
Customer Comment:<br />
You&#8217;ve missed the point. Passwords are not to be stored in plain text and emailed out to your users over insecure connections. Passwords should be reset, not sent. If someone were to get into your database without your knowledge, they would also be able to compromise each account without any sort of password attack, since you guys would just show the passwords to them.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll see if they even care.</p>
<p>### edit ###</p>
<p>Response:</p>
<p>Dear Travis,</p>
<p>Noted.</p>
<p>Best Regards,<br />
BidVertiser Support Team</p>
<p>###</p>
<p>I guess they do not care.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Got an HTC Inspire 4G?  Tired of all the bloatware and running apps.  Tired of have to kill those apps over and over?  Root your phone (root is the superuser account in Linux, which Android runs on)!  This voids all warranties, but it is worth it.  Use HackIt to permanently root your HTC, then download the HTC Revolution ROM and flash your phone with it.  Then install Terminal Emulator to access your phones root shell.  You&#8217;ll also want Gemini App Manager (Free), hit Menu to go into Expert Mode and you can uninstall ANYTHING, even your keyboard (which you should NOT do).</p>
