I fail to understand how (original sound source) -> vinyl -> CD, the second conversion done with your own equipment, could possibly sound better than (original sound source) -> CD, done with professional audio equipment.
Anyone can generate a credit card number very easily in 2 or 3 minutes, starting with random numbers and putting it through the LUHN scheme used to verify numbers. So you can easily come up with a working credit card number - but it's the matching name that's important. Hell, you could shluck any old (LUHN-passing) CC number into a site, with a random name from the telephone book and it would verify nine times out of ten...
He's talking about those crappy standalone cd recorders that you don't hook up to a PC. You need to buy special "music" CD-Rs, that basically have a few bits set on them, allowing the standalone recorder to use them.
I don't know if the technology is different now, but not-too-long-ago I know some computer companies required a screen to have two or three dead pixels in an area about the size of a quarter before they would replace it. It's not easy to make a fully functioning LCD screen.
In D2, item drops are completely random - if I find a stone of jordan, your chances of finding an SOJ are exactly the same. And anyway, item hunters aren't going to hang out anywhere but Act 4/5 Hell difficulty, where there are no newbies.
True, but my gripe with that sort of system would be the ridiculous amount of scrolling you'd have to do. Books are nice because you only need to turn the page every 45 seconds or so; scrolling would be a PITA.
Because they weren't doing it maliciously. And anyway, it's something different. When you have 1000's of people driving around trying to h4x0r 802.11b networks, it won't be the same thing anymore.
I saw the movie a few months ago at the first screening in New England and it was pretty good! The digital animation is very clean and striking. It's only about 45 minutes long, and I recommend watching it if you get the chance.
My Neighbors the Yamadas is also all-digital, but the way Ghibli (woohoo:) did the artwork, it looks extremely good; it looks like handpainted watercolors. (A great movie, btw.) Pure digital animation has real potential.

If designers incorporate this into their chip, they'll be cheaper/cooler/whatever! It isn't like you can mount one of these things on your chip yourself, you know.
This is being pushed by *Lieberman* - he's a Democrat, bucko.
It's like the damn abortion arguement: Republicans are both for and against death.. That is, They're against abortion, but have no problem throwing a murderer into the poison chamber.
Uh, yes. There's a difference. Murderers KILL people. ugh. (I am 'pro-choice' though, because I think the gov. should get their noses out of other people's business. This goes for Dems and Republicans.)
NAMBLA is *not* constitutionally protected free speech, it is aiding and abetting crimes. Why oh why doesn't the DoJ sue their asses off or shut them down? Their website tells
1. Where to find children to seduce.
2. How to get them to a state where you can rape them.
3. How to get away with it if caught.
Little story here: My friend and I (both minors) were brought to the movies by my mom, to see the Art of War (ya ya not a great movie, but good enough). My mom buys the tickets, goes to the admission gate and gives them to us. The (old) guy refuses to let us through because we're minors even though my parent had bought the tickets! The only way we'd have been able to see the movie is if my mother went along with us, and well, she had other things to do. Seeing as movie theatres are pretty much a monopoly where I live (boston area) there was no way to see the movie (and the place lost 20 bucks anyway). There's something very wrong here...
What if the kid was smart and either a) went through a proxy b) went through a search engine that keeps a frame at the top (ask.com, about.com etc.) c) used FTP, IRC etc. I mean... what are you gonna do about that?

After clicking the link and seeing the absolute BS that site he gave was, it only took me 0.2 seconds to reach for the Ctrl-W keys.

It sounds pretty expensive - will the extra efficiency be worth all the money spent on liquid nitrogen? Anybody have any stats about this?
Didn't think so.

The job of a lawyer is to win his cases. The job of the professor would be to be fair and honest.

This is NOT free speech, it is a CRIME.
Why?

Does anyone know when it's supposed to be out?
