I believe (I don't have the facts myself, just inferring from the previous comment.) the idea he's trying to get across is that over the "thousands of years of climatological data due to techniques like ice core sampling" there is a noticeable spike within those "300-odd years' worth of industry".
But once again, I don't have the facts. (much too lazy:)
Plug in artists or songs that you like and it'll try to make up a "Radio Station". Which will then not only play the stuff you specified, but will also try to play music which you might also like based on what you've added so far.
Your able to tweak it with each song saying "More like this." or "Never play this again."
If this works like it says and there was a way to get this on to a iPod (say via a Podcast?) it might not be the next BIG thing, but it might be the next SMALL step.
First of all, let me applaude you on your dedication.:-)
But this fails on two parts for me, first: it's in a compressed form, I want something I can just pop in the drive and view no matter what. And second: aren't you doubleing your necessary disk space? If I understand correctly you make a copy of everything in.rar files before burning; my photos are closing in on 40 Gig's all by themselves not to mention my other stuff.
Thanks for replying tho, it's still a very good way to make mision critial backups.
Has anyone heard of a untility which will burn folders to multiple CD/DVDs without having to split the folders and files by hand?
Nero, EZ CD Creator, etc... can do it, but they want to use their own special format and that's exactly what I don't want. If one of the discs fails, I don't want to run the risk of losing the set, nor do I want to have to have use another program to see what's on each disc.
For example for a photo directory listed like this:
I suffered through the first few seasons scraping what little tibbits I could enjoy and being happy with that.... and now, when the show is actually getting interesting they cancel it.
I've come to know of it as the French of Paris are rude and snotty to everyone.
2 first hand accounts, and 1 second hand.
I know a French-Canadian girl who just *hates* the people of Paris. She just can't believe how people will talk to her when they hear her accent.
I know a woman at work who is *from* France, but not Paris, and will tell you that Paris earns it's reputation when it comes to the "rude Frenchman".
Also at work I've heard a few stories of French-Canadians going to see the "homeland" and are just left dissappointed with the reception they recieve.....
Two years ago I spent 2 weeks in Paris and although I don't speak French (You should have seen me trying to get McDonald's to go... "Umm....'dans le sac'????") I never really had any trouble... tho I did find the younger people to be more willing (or maybe they just knew more English) to help me.
I might be wrong about this, but I think that the copyright might be in relation to the text (appearing to) having been scanned from a book printed in 1996.
For Google to offer it for free would mean that they'd have to scan it from a printed source which is also out of copyright??
Well, I think that's the case....
Anyone who says they fully understand copyright is either a fool or a liar... or worse.;-)
I'd like to do (somewhat) automated backup's as well... tho more on a homesize scale...
I'm trying to back up my pictures and my mp3's on a regular basis, but at 15 Gig's for one and 56 Gig's for the other even putting them on DVD can be a pain.
Every app I've used (at least on XP) can automatically "split" the files over multiple discs but they all use their own format for it making recovering the file difficult if not impossible with out the original program.
Is there anything that will split on the file structure so I can just read the files like they were burned normally?
Right now I keep adding and removing files from the "to burn" list and try and get as close to each disc limit and then do the same for the next disc... makes me put off my backups for longer then I should....
On my nForce 2 motherboard, the sound applet has a "Night Mode" which um... "compresses" the sound so you don't have to turn it up as loud to hear the soft notes...
It's a pretty niffty feature to have, but I've never seen it anywhere else that I can think of...
Well, ignore the games for a moment: Anything I might "need" Windows for runs fine through Wine and/or VMWare.
If you need to run programs through emulators I'm not entirely sure Linux is ready for the desktop...
Tho personally I haven't touched Linux since around RedHat 5.2... But I do keep rooting (sounds like a bad pun, where's the tshirt at thinkgeek?) for it.:)
The shuffle really needed at least a one line screen. Part of the beauty of iTunes and iPod (as I understand it, don't have one myself) is that the iPod can rate songs which then carry over to iTunes.
Seems like they could have put that in a vertical line down the front of the body... not entirely sure how you'd set the rating, but that's not my department.:-)
Um... Isn't the reason that Latin is exact and clear the fact that it's a "dead" language?
I could be wrong (most likely actually..) but I thought the whole reason you have things like "scientific" names in Latin is that since it's dead it's unchanging and static. So that what's defined in Latin can't be misinterperted.
I'm not sure if Latin would still have that ability if it wasn't dead.
As for the elegance of Latin verbs, I'll have to leave that alone as I'm still trying to get this "English" thing down. More into "Newfunese" myself.:-) http://www.buddywasisname.com/l_newfunese.htm
I'm not positive, but I believe "guitar" is French. Which would kinda explain the pronunciation. Starting off with "g'ee-tar" originally and then going to "g'ah-tar".

Um... I don't think that was his/her point.

I just typed in "Boards of Canada" and I'm sold!
:-)
:)
Just getting a list of other artists that I've never heard of who there's a big chance I'm gonna like is.... well, fantastic!
Sir, I owe you.
I've been checking out http://www.pandora.com/ over the last few days.

At any rate, it's something to check out.
Thanks! This has come the closest to what I want so far.
:-)
:-)
Tho' I don't think I'm using it correctly yet. It seems to make a file listing for a single disc and then stop.
Arg.
All I want is to drag a folder into a burning program and have it burn to multiple discs in just a plain cd filesystem.
Is that really so much to ask?
First of all, let me applaude you on your dedication. :-)

Thanks, but.... alas, it does its backups in a special format which you have to use a special program to view them. I want to avoid that entirely.

P:\2004\01\15
P:\2004\03\12
P:\2004\05\25
P:\2004\05\26
P:\2004\06\08
P:\2004\09\19
P:\2004\12\12
P:\2005\01\12
P:\2005\02\11
P:\2005\03\23
P:\2005\05\18
Say that takes up around 10 Gigs if we're going to be using DVD's as an example.
I'd just like to be able to select the root or directory and then on the first disc we have:
X:\2004\01\14
X:\2004\01\15
X:\2004\03\12
X:\2004\05\25
X:\2004\05\26
Second disc:
X:\2004\06\08
X:\2004\09\19
X:\2004\12\12
X:\2005\01\12
And so on, and so on...
I missed that on my first read through....
:-)
I wonder if you'll be able to 'upload' your own sounds to it...
Could be interesting.
How about under the glass top you see on some desks?
;-)
Might make me keep my workspace clear.
That's funny, I keep thinking it's a mistyped "none".
But my spelling and grammer is sub-par even for Slashdot standards.
I am hoping ROTS is a apology.

Not that I'm bitter.

True, but it's also a *hell* of a lot more then we can shoot through a particle accelerator as I understand it... :-)

Get many speakers with various accents and maybe it might be able to build up a useful tool for voice recognition...
But I really don't know much about these things...

That's the computer for parents and grandparents. I'm a windows weenie and I can see that.
