Geek sitcom "The IT Crowd"

If you are searching for some IT related tv show, I suggest that you look at the IT crowd. In two seasons with 12 episodes in total, you have a lot of fun.
Relegated to a dingy basement, Moss, Jen and Roy are their company’s last line of technological defence; they are the IT crowd.
More about tv show you can get at official site.

Both seasons you can find at bittorent site.

ALSA unpleasant noise

Sorry folks, but I would be glad if someone of you had this problem, maybe you can help me to get rid of audio nightmares on my ubuntu.
System sound, live streamings, mpeg3 outputs is followed by backing noise. I tried to recompile alsa, updates, modifying alsa mixers, and don't know what else, but still I have same problem. I see that problem is because of my integrated sound card, but drivers for motherboard didn't helped me.
I can live with it while I'm watching movie, and listening music silent, but headphones are out of game. Previously, I had same problem with Suse, but solved with alsa driver update and mixer setup. Neither one forum post with this problem didn't helped me, so I would keep on going....

NetBeans 7.0 in online edition, rewritten in javascript !

Could it be true?! I could never guess this kind of connection javascript with NetBeans IDE. As others developers, I cant wait to see it online, but to be honest, I'm wondering how they, and would they improve javascript to make something very useful as NetBeans is, because, as we know, javascript is nice, but not so much powerful 'programming language'.
More about announcement you can read at famous netbeans evangelist Roman Strobl at his blog.
