  1. Re:Tag on New EMI Boss Says 'Downloads May Be Good' · · Score: 1

    Honestly, I don't know anyone that still does get their music through file sharing unless they have absolutely no extra money. It stopped being convenient years ago. It's not worth dealing with the fake songs, mislabeled stuff, and crappy rips.

    Unless if you live in a country where the music (or movies for that matter) that you like the most are not available, even if you're willing to pay the abusive import taxes, that can easily double or triple the original price.

    Besides, once you get a full time job you tend to value your time higher and your money lower. It also tends to make people appreciate the work put into making the music.

    While I strongly agree that a full time job will make you value your time, it'll also make you value your money, once you know exactly how hard it is to earn it.

  2. Re:Surplus on Census Bureau To Scrap Handhelds — Cost $3 Billion · · Score: 1

    I live in Brazil, and here we can download an application to prepare our IR and after it's done we just upload it to the website. It's been like this for several years now, and works perfectly fine (except for some overload taking the site down for a few hours when they release the application or on the last few hours before the time for you to fill in your IR expires). The same can be said for voting machines. Voting down here is electronic for some time now. Actually I'm 30 (we're allowed, actually required, to vote since 18) and if I remember correctly just voted on paper once.

  3. Re:Sharing on RIAA "Making Available" Theory Rejected · · Score: 1

    Defendant used a file sharing program. Smoking gun.
    ... not necessarily to share the files owned(?) by the plaintiff.
  4. Re:I declare this year of the mouse! on Suspended Animation In Mice Without Freezing · · Score: 1

    And we can also teach mice how to use tools. I was going to sumbit this as an story, but couldn't find an english written source, just the blog post.

    I believe he already did something at least similar. See the multi-point interactive white boards at his page.

  6. Re:Other Similar Systems: Signal Pre-emption on 14-Year-Old Turns Tram System Into Personal Train Set · · Score: 1

    Yes, but turning all lights red wouldn't cause the traffic ahead of the emergency vehile to jam, possibly preventing it to even get to where the lights are?

  7. Re:Ouch. Is RoundCube stable yet? on SquirrelMail Repository Poisoned · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm using it for some weeks now... small user base though, about 25 people. Runs fine after I did some small fixes on the identity management and auto user creation features, which had minor bugs on the release I got. But overal it's a great piece of software.
