Larry Sanger on Wikipedia and World

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday December 23, 2004 @04:11PM from the the-man-himself dept.

Phoe6 writes "MIT Tech Review is running an article on Larry Sanger, an epistemologist and the co-creator of Wikipedia. It is very interesting to know his views on Wikipedia. He says, 'To build a public encyclopedia, you don't need faith in the possibility of knowledge, What you have to have faith in is human beings being able to work together.'"

You can just burn your iTunes purchases to DVD or CD from the iTunes GUI. Check their website for instructions, if you need 'em. I keep my iTunes library separate from my general media, since I don't want copy protected AAC files getting mixed in with my other crap.

I can tell a difference in 192k and 128k. Can't tell anything between 192k and 320k unless there's a lot of ambient sounds, trumpets and other instruments in the mid to high end being played at once. Mind you, in a silent room I hear a lot of high pitched distortion because I played the guitar too loud when I was a kid.
