Actually, you did, when you signed up as an artist. Remember the page where it's like, "Careful! It's important that you understand what you're clicking here" with a bunch of check boxes about how mp3.com can use your music?
I've vitually lost the copyright on my songs through some fancy corporate wheelin' and dealin'.
No you didn't. You still have the copyright. All you did was give mp3.com a license (presuming you checked those boxes) to use those songs.
When you used to sign up as an artist on mp3.com, there's a page with checkboxes, and it says something like, "Careful! It's important that you know what you're agreeing to here!" It is actually fairly obvious what they're doing, and I for one signed up for it because I prefer my music to be heard more than I prefer it to be sold.
Fuck, no kidding. I finally played it since it came out for PC--it had some good parts, and even some really good parts, but it was awfully repetitious and hardly very revolutionary. I nominate, say, "Quake" for that award.
External Firewire/USB2".HiSpeed" seems to be the safest bet, since you can swap those between computers and everything. At work we've used hot swappable drive enclosures that mount internally---they were only a couple hundred bucks, and have a key that you use to lock the drive in place, if you want. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name, but they exist and they work.
Oh, thank you god. If this works, I can finally be rid of my system which can only be described as "Redhat 6.2... with an advanced slackware infestation."
Any tips? Can this handle the glibc upgrade without breaking all of my programs?
Missing the builtin wifi is quite lame, but not having an RJ45 jack on-board is forgivable, seeing that the laptop is too small to even accomodate one. (Though, I must admit, the tininess of the RJ11 jack on my N505VE astounded me the first time I saw it!) Maybe if they moved the power switch and used that swivel point for the jack?
I have an N505VE and it's working great after 3+ years. The battery is dead (though I've never seen a battery last this long) but otherwise it runs like day 1.
I've never dropped it, but I think the build is pretty solid. The powerbooks also seem nice to me, I must admit.
Of course, there are also hard real-time garbage collectors (ie Cheng's), though I don't think you'll find them in general-purpose production compilers. However, you will find good garbage collectors in a number of real production compilers (say, in mlton). It's definitely worth benchmarking.
Considering there are an infinite number of strings that will map to a single MD5
That's probably, but not necessarily, true.
I'd say there is a chance we'll find one sooner or later.
Yeah, it's about 1 in 2^128. There aren't even enough electrons in the universe to write down all the possible MD5 hashes, not to mention the strings that might hash to them.
Yes, please. This seems like a clear-cut case of fair use, as long as the course takes reasonable measures to make sure that the songs don't find their way onto file sharing networks!

They had you check boxes for this kind of thing, and it really wasn't misleading.
I never was notified that I had to opt-out

lulu.com allows artists to sell CDs.
mp3.com's main draw was that they built communities and social networks of artists, which I don't think there is any replacement for--yet.
Well, I only use the machine for a few things, and I don't want those to be package-managed. As long as it doesn't actually remove them, I'm happy.
For you prospective CS Students who might be reading
Ho ho ho now, Computer Science is very different from Information Systems/Information Technology.
Are you sure? I thought Samus was a dude for the first year I owned "Metroid". ;)

Linux is based on Unix. It's basically a clone. What it isn't based on, is the source code to Unix.
the layers dont care about eachother.
Ah, if only that were true...
LEGALIZE p2p
hah
Please, no more 3D updates of classic 2D titles.
Man, that is hilarious. Do they even cart people away in caged vans?
I'd say the folks wearing RIAA jackets might want to watch their backs...

So does this make Tivo a bad guy now?
Yes. Suing over one of these "I had the idea in the shower" patents is an express ticket onto my shitlist.
On the other hand, this method comes at a large storage cost.
Also, 2^64 is still pretty damn intractable.
Further, the estimates I've heard is that there is 10^80 to 10^88 electrons in the universe. 2^128 is roughly 10^38
;)
Oops, you're right. That base really does make a difference, doesn't it?
No dis here: I had a 1040ST. Those were sweet computers.

ok, whatever. Also, the boomslang cost $100 three years ago, so I doubt that it has doubled in price since then.
