They don't make them anymore because they've been replaced by the glorious 6-cylinder engine because it appeals to people who need something divisible by 2 and 3, as well as 6.
But that gave people 3 good reasons to switch to the 6-cylinder, so we moved up to 8-cylinder to get our reasons back to 2.
Your correct in that I was moving files, so, in a sense, I wasn't backing the files up. But, your statement on what makes more sense than the other is irrelevant seeing as that most recent operating systems run a checksum on any file that is moved or copy on it's own. So, the integrity of the files is verified automatically. An example of this would be if you copy or move a file from a hard drive in Windows and receive the "Cyclic Redundancy Check failed" error.
Anyway, the reason I said backing up rather than moving was because, while I was deleting the files from the source, I would leave the files on the external hard drive after copying them back to my Mac after the Leopard installation had completed. So no matter how you slice it, I was backing up the files. Just not in the same manner of speaking as you may back up yours.
Just wanted to also confirm that the bug was in Tiger. I was backing up music files to do a clean format for Leopard and lost everything when the hard drive got disconnected by mistake.
You, sir, are a visionary. What better way to protect our children against the auditory abomination that is today's pop artists? I feel that DRM is a wonderful thing, we simply haven't been using it correctly and to it's full potential.
Now, when I shoot my Intel chip with a rocket launcher or maybe ride it off a cliff and fall off, it'll look much more realistic. Lets see AMD do that.
I realized that the audio on a disc obviously is compressed audio, or else there would be no point in DVD-Audio, Super Audio CD, or masters for that matter. But, when comparing a CD to an AAC version created from a CD, the CD could be considered relatively lossless, though not literally.
Even so, I wasn't aware that music from the iTunes Store was encoded from masters. Now that I think about it, it makes sense and is completely possible, probably even more efficient. That being said, I'd have to agree that a master --> AAC could be higher quality than a master --> CD --> AAC.
A lot of people wouldn't buy songs from iTunes even if the songs were DRM free. The fact that you are purchasing something in a lossy format means that you're not getting all you could if you were to buy the actual CD. I'd rather pay $12.99 for something that is tangible and not lacking in quality than something that's digital and can only be downloaded once.
From a collector's stand point, vinyls never really faded from popularity. I still have all of my old vinyls and purchase new ones today by more current bands.
The President of Sony France probably doesn't have very much to do with the decision making process regarding whether or not a game made by a 3rd party publisher stays exclusive.
Besides, it's France. Why would we listen to them now?
Before you know it, you'll see kids riding up and down the sidewalk on their tricycles talking on their Nintendo DS instead of paying attention to the path. Think of all the possible boo boos! I smell a new tricycle traffic safety law in the works.

This sounds good, but we're talking about a PS2 and Wii game released as a PC title? I can see the sea of posts about terrible graphics already.

cosmocain fo prez.
That last line was just... Wow. I mean, I've seen bad attempts at humor on Slashdot. I've even made a few of those. But that was just terrible.
Who really needs the rest of those numbers between 65,535 and 100,000 anyway. If I can't count something on my 65,534 fingers, I just don't bother.

It's the PS2 version of the game, PAL region.
I think I would prefer Windows Dead.
Did ya see what I did thar?
I for one welcome our new cosmic ray-based overlords! (I just felt like I hadn't seen that lately. :'( Mod me as you wish. But, be gentle.)
I would love to, but I just ran out of Slashdot Points and I don't want to buy another 800 if I'm only going to use 150.
Well, if you're doing it at home you could always leave the PSP charging while streaming.
How the hell am I going to screw with people's TVs and them not know it's me if I don't just look like I'm playing a video game?
WRONG MOVE SONY!
Your ability to spam and destroy everything in your path will be missed. :'(

I apologize for my ignorance.

They're saving that for the press conference that covers "Why Microsoft Dislikes Open Source".
I only read those dimension articles on Wikipedia because of the pretty animated gifs.

Now I can't make fun of Microsoft for having HD-DVDs that don't play on the Xbox 360.
