by AlReinhart

FYI: The attached meeting announcement may be of interest to those interested in TV/video and such things as news production, HDTV, film and advanced web-streaming, etc. "A unique opportunity to see some of the most sophisticated editing, effects, animation, compositing and streaming systems on the market."

Broadcast Radio Engineer (or facsimilie thereof!)

by Mims Research

Hello all, Not sure if I've made my request on this list or not. Sorry if it's a repeat. Is there someone here who can help a non-profit organization work on a non-commercial full power radio license project? I am on the BOD of a non-profit that is considering an application for such and we could use a bit of help. Replies off list are fine. TIA, Marie email: mimsresearch(a)gmail.com

Charcoal grilling with liquid oxygen.

by joel d

At pizza we were talking about other web videos of people doing entertaining and dangerous things. The Mythbusters' disappearing cement truck is hard to top. Here was my favorite example, this guy uses 3 to 5 gallons of liquid oxygen to start your charcoal grill. He does it in shirt sleeves with a 5 gal bucket. Don't try this at home. http://www.doeblitz.net/ghg/ Joel

Possible sendmail attack?

by Dick Goodman

I have four servers on 3 different DSL lines running RedHat 7.3 with sendmail 8.11.6 I was on vacation at the time, but mid-day (13:00) on January 9th all of them started behaving wierdly. Instead of the occassional email, perhaps 95% of all incoming emails now show in the log as follows: Jan 9 09:41:17 bach sendmail[25179]: NOQUEUE: mail5.schaeffer.com [24.106.95.27] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA Jan 11 00:02:12 bach sendmail[14018]: NOQUEUE: h11009.upc-h.chello.nl [62.194.11.9] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA Jan 11 00:10:44 bach sendmail[14127]: NOQUEUE: bay0-omc2-s35.bay0.hotmail.com [65.54.246.171] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA Jan 11 00:13:23 bach sendmail[14148]: NOQUEUE: root@localhost did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA Jan 11 00:13:50 bach sendmail[14151]: NOQUEUE: 84.95.106.53.cable.012.net.il [84.95.106.53] did notissue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA The first one is legitimate mail, the others appear to be spam Much of the 50K pieces/month of spam I get are being trapped at the server in this manner before even getting to my spam filters (a good thing), but while some legitimate email is getting through, some is being rejected with this kind of message. Does anyone (a) have any idea what's happening here (b) have any idea how to fix it. Need more info? Just ask. Dick

Thanks for the suggestion. For anyone who wants to attempt the same, image magic has an example of doing exactly what I described: http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/~anthony/graphics/imagick6/compare/ Quoting Mike Leo <mleo963(a)yahoo.com>: > when anyone asks for help with pictures, i always mention image magic > > http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php > > if the two parts are different enough, i'm sure imagemagick can > seperate them for you. > > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: "dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com" <dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com> > To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org > Sent: Wednesday, January 10, 2007 10:33:38 PM > Subject: [Wlug] GIMP Question > > Any GIMP experts here?

when anyone asks for help with pictures, i always mention image magic http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php if the two parts are different enough, i'm sure imagemagick can seperate them for you. ----- Original Message ---- From: "dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com" <dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com> To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Sent: Wednesday, January 10, 2007 10:33:38 PM Subject: [Wlug] GIMP Question Any GIMP experts here?

GIMP Question

by dulsi＠identicalsoftware.com

Any GIMP experts here? Is there a way to extract the differences between two images? I have an image of just a background and an image of item on said background. I'd like to get the image of just the item. It wouldn't be hard to write a program to do it but I figured gimp might already have it. Dennis Payne dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com

Re: [Wlug] Topic for next Thursday

by John Stoffel

Adam> What about a MythTV discussion? I want to create a Linux media Adam> management/playback system and would like to hear others' Adam> experiences. I'd be interested in this, even though I've got a TiVo working very nicely at home right now. But when it dies, I'm going to want to keep the remote going, but move to MythTV. Too bad I can't make this meeting...
