I am a professor, and I allow taping--But I condition it on
1) Sharing the tapes with absent students, and 2) Turning it off temporarily at my request. There are certaint things that must be said at times that could be taken way out of context.
On the other hand, if we had those private "services" that send students to class to take notes and then sell them, I would indeed expect royalties from the "service."
OTOH, not only to I hand out copies of my lecture slides (overhead, not power point), reduced 50% with the left column blank, I also put them on the web for students.
"Excuse me, sir. Might I have your permission to tip over your table? And would you be offended if I chased you out of the Temple? If so, I won't, so don't worry. If that's all right with you, that is."
For example, if Christ had children which was entirely a Jewish custom if you will, it would mean that every pope including Peter was an impostor.
Not even close. Aside from the the fact that the Roman Catholic Church has *always* acknowledge the validity of married clergy, Peter had a mother in law, clearly referred to in the Gospels.
Ahh, but it's fun to listen to them to try to use the Bible in an anti-Catholic rant, given that they're using Luther's hack of what the (Roman) Catholic Church selected out of the various writings . . .:)
A bit more seriously, a hyperthreading mechanism that allowed the virtual processors to use units from *either* core would be interesting--or just drop the distinction between cores, double the number of execution units, and have four virtual processors . ..
Wouldn't fixing Windows' (and to a lesser extent Linux') time-slicing be a much less expensive solution to all of this?
This problem isn't inherent; it's an OS artifact. FreeBSD has been able to run without X getting choppy at sustained loads of 20 on a single processor at least since the time of the K6. I had it at something like 80 (admittedly with dual Xeons with huge caches) a couple of weeks ago, and the interface was still perfectly smooth (though mozilla turned to a slug).
Linux seems to be much better these days (though I rarely use it and can't fully verify it), but back when the K6 was still state of the art, at a load of 5 it got noticably chunky in response (though I belive time slice adjustments could alleviate that).
What I'm looking for is the ability to have firefox open in a new window instead of a tab on middle-click. Until then, it's useless to me (though I'll install it for others).
and have other peoplehad the problem with editing keys (^K, ^U, etc) no longer working on Mozilla 1.7? I thought it was something funny about the one machine, until I updated this one and got the same behavior.

That's what I love about Slashdot - if you have anything good to say about Microsoft, you get modded down to troll.
Kind of goes with the way that posts complaining about being modded as a troll for liking microsoft get modded to +5 . ..
The one reason that Mac prospers is that they actually do have a port of Microsoft Office and most of Adobe products available. Just a thought.
The one reason office prospers is that it had the mac version to keep it alive until they were able to included it on many shipping machines when hard drives got big enough and cd's were standard . . . since the windows versions of excel and word werer distant thirds in their markets until they got shipped cheap that way . ..

I let amazon place cookies because I needed them for the books I was selling.
Now when I go to some other sites, amazon is retrieving its cookies from those sites. I've *supposedly* "opted out" of this now, but I'd like the "cookies only from the same site" extended to "no coookies from any site other than the main page". It seems that having amazon serve content and collect a cookie on their ad within the page got around this . ..

That's missing the point entirely.
It's the *presentation* of the information which is the professor's intellectual property.
Happily telling the world all the facts he told you isa legal.
Selling recordings of the lecture is not.

Gee, just after I pointed out how much of the problem is the OS, I see this :)

I have dual Xeons with huge caches, and three of the 4 drives are 15krpm, with the other a 10krpm (all are UW, etc.)
A few months ago, I stuck in a garden variety cheap ide drive to install for my home machine. I was stunned at the loss of responsiveness . .
