dynamic compression can be easily done in hardware (ie. "midnight mode" on some dvd players). You can never go the other direction. I would prefer the "studio" version any day.
A digital copy of an analog recording is better than an analog copy of an analog recording, not because digital "adds" information, but because analog loses information.
Indie artists can use HTTP (and Torrent if necessary), theres plenty of willing hosts.

as things stand now I prefer having my email on yahoo/google than on a personal domain just for this reason.
So you don't mind Yahoo pasting spam into your outgoing emails? Those little ads at the bottom of your emails from Yahoo (and msn) users are rather annoying. It's one thing to pay for the service by viewing ads, but it's another to pay for it by spamming non-users.
There is a balance between security and usability. You can't have both perfect at the same time. I don't know if this is necessarily true. I see no evidence that the two are mutually exclusive, particularly when they are related to two separate parts of the program -the GUI and the rendering engine. Remember that scriptable web browser development is only a couple decades old -were still in the pre-model T era.
As much as the kmenu is outdated, it organizes programs by *function* instead of *company* like windows. In addition, by default, it includes the application name, dash, description -so you can just look for "Word processor" if that's what you're looking for.
As I understand it, PC world magazine is targeted, not at the/. crowd, but at the average Joe that likes shiny things. And if the average Joe that likes shiny things doesn't like Vista, even with the amount of marketing funds Microsoft pumps into magazines like PC world, then that really says something.
Additionally, a lot of schools have weak client based web-filters, or proxies. And downloading firefox.exe from portable apps, would bypass the filters quite easily.
I think you misunderstood my comment. I simply dislike the argument that FLOSS is unimportant because it doesn't rake in the cash like Microsoft, and equating choosing FLOSS to a religion. There's nothing naive about making decisions based partly on ethics, and there are plenty of people making lots of money *using* FLOSS, just not necessarily selling it.
But then again, I'm just a Canadian, thus a commie socialist in comparison with many Americans. And I still wouldn't turn my back on anyone who think stock tickers are the be-all-end-all.
Most "personal computing" software can only *really* benefit from two or maybe three threads. One for the GUI, and another for any task that can take more than ~100ms. This is already common practise in some languages (eg. JAVA), and it should become standard. But there's no reason for you're average mail reader needs 8 threads.
I could see a tabbed browser using a thread for each tab, but then, you're really running multiple instances, and using you're program as a "tabbed window manager" -which is more the exception than the rule.
Man I wish I still had some mod points. There must be a hundred "what's the problem? -Wikipedia allows anyone to edit" posts here. THIS ISN'T ABOUT WIKIPEDIA, this is about tax dollars being used to pay soldiers to spread falsehoods to the public.
So greed is a more noble cause than ethics?? (by the way, freedom is an ethical, or potentially moral issue, NOT a religious one). Man, I would never turn by back on you.
-Software developers all over the world are paid to "perform" their act of programming -so companies have software to use.
-Scientist/researchers are paid to "perform" research by funding agencies - usually government. Pharmaceuticals are a messed up oddity in research -hence why drugs are far too expensive.
-Writers in most fields are paid to "perform" writings for periodicals, not to collect royalties for 100+ years. For books, people pay for paper versions because they like the convenience.
Yeah copyright is useful, but draconian copyright that lasts centuries is pointless and hurts creativity. There are other, more common ways to make money.
This seems more like a one-time post blog account. If you want to write up a quick article and post it, but don't blog on a regular basis, this avoids the need to set up a web site or blog just to post you're rant online.
Any condenser/evaporator based refrigeration system (air conditioner, refrigerator, freezer) should not be turned off and on in quick succession. A running compressor has significant back pressure because it is pumping against the pressure gradient. It not designed to *start* with this gradient already in place. After a few minutes the pressure between high and low sides balance, and it can start as usual.
you forgot/tmp and the swap partition. You might want/var as well if there is sensitive data in the logs. Realistically, you probably need to prevent mounting of disks or USB drives as R/W. Than again, theres probably a few other vulnerable spots on a Unix computer.
Unix great, but it's not as simple as you put to secure it from threats that have physical access to the machine.
Wouldn't Emacs be great if it had a an Emacs Girlfriend AND an Emacs Psychologist? On the other hand, she would probably want to go to couples therapy:-(
Hello?
How do you do? What brings you to see me?
I am a hot russian girl
Why do you say you are a hot russian girl?
Are you looking for a girlfriend?
What do you think?
I'm a double D and love to have fun
fun what ? What makes you believe and love to have what?
have students find an incorrect piece of information on wikipedia. Shouldn't be hard, find a poorly sighted article (the one's with the notice at the top), do further background on the toppic, find an inconsistency and correct it.
Students learn just how accurate wikipedia is, and precisely how to vet the information you find (on any source).
Much more to be learned from the experience than banning it outright.
[In Canada] If you know that someone using your wireless is serving criminally illegal content, and you continue to allow it, you are aiding a crime, and you can be charged.
So this is already illegal (In the U.S. as well?)
If you unknowingly allow it to happen, well, I don't see how anyone could be successfully charged in a criminal court. That would be like being charged because you unknowingly allowed someone to be murdered on your property when you weren't there. Good luck prosecutors - although I doubt they would ever try.
Slashdot Mirror
Really? with commercial support for three years? oh wait... never mind.
KDE4rc is already in the repos... were just talking about long term support here.

I agree this is nothing like Wikipedia
The rules are different for monopolies.

IBM, Novell and Sun are big American corporations aren't they? I think it has more to do with inept (read underpaid, or MS** cert.) IT.

Can I have you're phone number??
Maybe your plans have something to do with this.

btw, IANAL.
With the old "lock down," I don't think there was time or system resources to download and burn Ubuntu. At least now that will be an option!
How many people *actually* pay the full $700 for Vista? As much as I dislike everything Vista represents, the parent is offtopic and verging on troll.
