You buy your music from iTunes. It's locked to that computer. Then you go to your friend's house and want to listen to your music. This is the point where a streaming DRM service would be idea.
Alternately, the iPhone already has a number of streaming services, why not stream directly to your device from the cloud. Services like last.fm and pandora have streaming apps for the iPhone. This would put Apple in that market too.
My friends collection is largely classical (or jazz), with some of the poppiest pop mixed in. I think he really appreciates the formula in pop music even if he does not actually like the music.
And complete knowledge of the contents of the music increases, rather than decreases, their desire to hear it.
Close but not quite. Incomplete knowledge of the contents increases a person's desire to hear it. I have a musician friend who I cannot sit and listen to music with, because as soon as the song plays he skips it. He already has the song committed to memory and does not need to experience it any more.
WSJ is going to get more opinionated over the next couple years as the editorial staff shifts more and more into Murdocs back pocket. My local newspaper has better articles, that actually matter to me, not the Rush Limbaugh of the moment.
the screen reader won't have any problems parsing it.
That is a huge understatement. You make a a webpage work well with a screen reader the same as you make a webpage work well with Firefox or IE: you do browser compatibility testing.
I also find that if I am writing complicated code I like to write all the comments beforehand, and then fill in the specific jargon afterwords.
//Loop over every item.
//Preform some menial data manipulation if this is an existing item
//Do a nested loop if necessary
//Finish looping over items.
//Commit data.
It's like writing an outline before you write the story, which I find really useful in fiction as well. That way you know where you are going in the end.
Slashdot Mirror
Is that in response to those pictures of Mark Zuckerberg that got leaked off the facebook site after the privacy policy changes?
Or e: Other companies with better looking co-workers then my own.
WTB better community.
What makes you think having the "special status" is going to be any better then regular status? This is the patent office we are talking about.
I was unaware they ever switched away from the AAC (Apple Audio Crap) format, which is a built-in DRM.

Will the rubber ducky help me with my mob? Or farm? Or ?

I have to say, I like some of the larger budget action/CGI flicks. That said they do take up way too much real estate at the theaters.

Yea I was about to say Office-Space it. Make sure you get some good gangster music.
Alternately you could drop it off the roof of a building. That's what we did when we were kids anyways.
There are also more responsible options like recycling it, or donating it to a charity organization in the third world.
Which will let their developers be even less efficient with their code.
I mean really?

Grey text on a grey background is fine for the color blind. It is terrible for the elderly and other people who contrast or cataract issues.
I will still be using XP when Windows 8 is released.
I can't believe I just got rickrolled.
Awesome.
I have seen plists for active directory binding settings get corrupted before. That module on OSX is particularly buggy.
Couldn't they use their newly open sourced .net platform?
Interrogator: "Look, we'll give you a PS3 if you tell us your password.
"We'll even throw in the HDMI cable. We'll get it eventually; this way you and I can both go home before lunchtime."
Prisoner: "There are no games for the PS3, couldn't you give me a Wii with 4 controllers?"
Interrogator: "That's why this is torture."
Anyone have a link to the ads? As is common with lawsuits, I want to see why AT&T is suing.
I've been a fan of this open source social network for a bit. http://www.elgg.org/
If we cant submit fixes to code branches, we just end up with forked Microsoft products.
A short description never hurt anyone.
