"When I think of Roman. I think of his nose. He smells the truth. He is very intense. Sometimes because he's French and Polish, the frustration to explain what he wants comes out and he's like No, no! Terrible!' And you think, 'I'm more than terrible.' In some ways it was very tense and in some exhilarating." Actress KIM CATTRALL on working with director ROMAN POLANSKI on new movie THE GHOST WRITER.

GR Writes: As of this writing, we're already three weeks into 2010. The "new" year is already practically ancient, and pretty soon we'll have run out of time to make wild, erratic, entirely factual predictions about things that will happen over the next 11 months. So with January nearly over, we're going for the jugular and answering the question that's on everyone's mind: between the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and PC, which gaming platform will claim victory by the end of this year.
convmv converts filenames (not file content),
directories, and even whole filesystems to a different
encoding. This comes in very handy if, for example,
one switches from an 8-bit locale to an UTF-8 locale or changes charsets on Samba servers. It
has some smart features: it automagically recognises if
a file is already UTF-8 encoded (thus partly converted
filesystems can be fully moved to UTF-8) and it also
takes care of symlinks. Additionally, it is able to convert
from normalization form C (UTF-8 NFC) to NFD and vice-versa. This is important for interoperability with Mac OS X, for example, which uses NFD, while Linux and most other Unixes use NFC. Though it's primary written to convert from/to UTF-8 it can also be used with almost any other charset encoding. Convmv can also be used for case conversion from upper to lower case and vice versa with virtually any charset. Note that this is a command line tool which requires at least Perl version 5.8.0.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
This release fixes some small bugs, improves the
test suite, and introduces a new check routine
which is called at program startup. Perl 5.8.8
introduced a bug that affected convmv which can be
worked around. Perl 5.10 again introduced a bug
which is now reported to be a Perl bug so that the
user does not wonder why things don't work as
expected.

(S04E16) "Objection, your honor. He's reciting the opening to Quantum Leap." -- Adam Monro, prosecuting attorney in Hiro's mind-trial
This week, it was time to deal once and for all with that pesky tumor in Hiro's brain. This isn't Eli Stone, after all. Not to mention how downright loopy he's been lately. So apparently the resolution is for his body to collapse while he faces a strange trial in the diner where he met, failed-to-save, and then did save Charlie. David Anders reprised his role as Adam Monroe to prosecute our time traveling hero, while George Takei presided over the thing as his father and the judge.
The rest of the episode was split between Sylar's quest to figure out why Lydia's ability was directing him to Claire, and Samuel's attempts to woo Vanessa after he'd kidnapped her. I can say, that I thought he was off to a rough start on that one.
FloatsomNJetsom writes "High Definition Content Protection is supposed to make sure you're not playing pirated content, but sometimes your devices screw up the HDCP 'handshake' (over an HDMI cable) and nothing works. This happens with some regularity with the PS3, and Popular Mechanics investigated and found a quick and dirty workaround. From the article: 'We then checked with Leslie Chard, president of HDMI Licensing, which owns the rights to the standard, who told us that HDCP is one component of HDMI that has been plagued with interoperability issues. HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protection) is designed to prevent the interception of data — specifically copyrighted Hollywood movies — between an output component and a display. As Steve Balough, the president of Digital Content Protection, the licensing company for HDCP explains, the two pieces of hardware must exchange a key, a sort of certificate of authenticity unique to each individual device, to verify a secure connection.' The problem isn't limited to the PS3 — many HDTV cable boxes and have the same problem. The fix there? Unplugging the power cable."

That little singing competition American Idol is right around the corner (it premieres Jan. 12), and I can't wait to see how Ellen DeGeneres does as the fourth judge. I'm sure she'll be a great addition to the show. I talked with Ryan Seacrest last week, and he said that Ellen has already asked to borrow some of his suits, so it sounds like anything can happen -- and probably will.
I told Ryan that I loved the idea of Ellen being a judge because she's a huge fan of American Idol, like many of us out here watching at home. He agreed, and said she actually asked him come over to her house so they could watch the show together.
Access Hollywood caught up with Kara DioGuardi at the VMAs, and Kara gave a little different take on it. She said that Ellen is a huge star, and the contestants on America Idol have to learn how to command the stage with everything they've got. Ellen is a master at that, but in a way we can all relate to.
Are you looking forward to Ellen coming onboard as the fourth judge? Here's the clip straight from our sister site, SlashControl.
