It is not enough for you to pay.75. Distributor of your MP3 software have $15K minumum annual royalties requirement. That means unless your MP3 payer software have 20,000 users who pay $.75 each year, they will not get license.
This is will probably kill less popular MP3 players.
I used Opera on Linux and it was OK. But when I've installed it on MacOS X I was suprised how crappy it is. Apparently they do not put much effort in MacOS X version.

GCC 3.2 Released
·
· Score: 2
GCC is the de facto compiler for GNU/Linux and *BSD systems. Furthermore, the Linux kernel currently hasn't been ported off GCC. Without GCC, free *NIX systems would have nowhere near the importance they have now.
And now for Macintosh as well! MacOSX uses gcc
as standard compiler.
It is ironic for NY Times to run this article. Not long ago they rendered thie own r www site unuseful with huge popup ads.
I wrote to them pointing out that since I am paying customer (I subscribe for dead-tress version), I should not be subjected to that pop-up shit and they basically responded that NY Times paper and www.nytimes.com are different entities and they need to eard money.
The entire headquarters is run out of a large open space similar in size to a high-school gymnasium.
What a sad picture. I hope future of workplace does not head in this direction. I hate cubicles! I like nice offices, possibly for 2-3 persons no more, with non uniform furniture. I like touch of personality in the office. I like wooden desks and shelfs. I like table lapms and filing cabinets. I like to be able to turn on music while I am working. I am programmer, not factory assembly line worker for god sake.
Here how I would do: I would allocate each emploee certain amout per year to furnish his office. He can chose whatever he wants from furniture and accessories within this budget.
C'mon, who buy palm nowadays? They are overpriced and lack features. I give them the credit for starting the PDA industry but most people get now Sony or Handspring.
You see, the broadband companies want to advertize unlimited access and at the sime time to limit the use.
So only fair way for them do solve this is to sell access with some limit cheaper and charge extra for real unlimited.
Why they do not do this? Because for people limited access is not so attractive. Even if you are casual user (thing your grandma) you will be afraid to exceed the limit and either get penilized with high charges for additional bytes or to be cut off.
If they would do what articles reffers to (trottle heavy users) I guess only way for consumers to prove them wrong is to go to the court and make them answer why "unlimited" access they advertized is not so unlimited anymore.
The vulnerability would make it possible for a criminal to find the secret information stored in the card, steal the user's cellphone identity and make free phone calls.
To do this he needs first to get physical access
to the card, which is inside the phone (usually under battery). Having access to the phone, usually allow him to make calls anyway without complex card reading procedure.
Wow! This is 100 times more MHz than in 486 machine running OpenBSD acting as my home firewall and wireless router (with 1 wireless and 2 ethernet interfaces).
Harry Potter is bad example. Target audience is kids.
You should have seen what they do with paper books before suggesting their partents to buy them $300 E-Book reader to read it.
Prolog is NOT functional language. Prolog is logical programming language. LIST is functional programming language.
Why on the earth people keep confusing PROLOG and LISP?! They are so different.
Now on the subject: Prolog is not generic programming language which could be fit into generic-purpose VM. It requires quite specific algorightms implemented in VM (Unification, Resolution) which are of little interest to other languages. Yes, they could be put into VM, but this is like putting regex library there.
Lisp is different. There was talks about putting it to Java VM, so I guess it will be possible to put it into the.NET.

Well it sucks not in performance. It renders pages
on MacOS awfully and crashes. OK, it is beta,
but not usable at all.
As to speed, IE 5 on MacOS X is pretty fast.

I recognize Apple user. Unix users dislike it for technical reasons.

Having same problem I've attempted to use
ALTQ with openBSD. It did not work since
they do not work well on slow speeds (below
8Kb/sec).
go away! stop tempting me. i will not go
to work for evil empire. i will not sell
my GPL-ed freedom for office with window!

It would be interesting to look into
such numbers. But where I can get them?

yep. 25Mhz.
But why upgrade? It works fine. I do not use it interactively and performance is good enough for
routing/firewalling.

I've purchased in local store $30 USB reader which
reads Memory Stick, Compach Flash, SDM, Smart Media.
Is not produced by SONY.
Also Memory stick is proprietaty. They are produced
by other companies, like Lexar.

WIKI is very informal and easy way to do

One of Wiki implementations: http://www.twiki.org/
I have 800x600 laptop and it is pain in the arse to
read this 2 column PDF file on it. I have to scroll
up and down all the time.
The guy is smart, but his choice of format is more suitable for old, soon to be obsolette printable media not for the Internet.
I think snnn.ps.min.mn.us.company.com will look way better.
It may be unbreakabale but looks like it is
slashdottable.
What they need to do is tiny PDA modem. USB visor
or compach flash form factor. I would love to use this service with my PDA.
