Did anyone else notice who one of the major investors is?
The No. 18 employee at Microsoft and the company's first consumer products division president, he has tapped a number of friends and leaders in other industries for cash, including Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates (who became a major Eclipse investor) and retired Ford Motor Co. CEO Harold "Red" Poling, who serves as Eclipse's board chairman.
Interesting mix of an airline who run Linux as their O/S of choice, yet the planes themselves are manufactured (in part) by BG.
Maybe someone has finally worked out how to have the two peacefully co-exist?!?:-)
From the Middle East and South Asia, unknown browsers were exploring the digital systems used to manage Bay Area utilities and government offices.
Why do I get the feeling that someone is using this as an opportunity to enforce only a limited set of browsers to access gov't (or any IIS based) web sites? Just a conspiracy^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hthought.
terrorists are at the threshold of using the Internet as a direct instrument of bloodshed.
It's amazing how stupid the media assumes their viewers/readers are. How can the Internet be possibly (read: realisticaly) used as an instrument of bloodshed?
I've been using Audacity for the last couple of weeks and found it very simple, very stable, and very very powerfull!
I was looking for something to enable me to rip from audio cassette (dialog/speech only) to wav and then mp3/ogg. Audacity was the only (or best) product I found that allowed me to visually see the tracks so I could splice and dice the two sides of the tape together, remove the pops, and so on.
The only two limitations were that it's mp3 support is limited to predefined bitrates (why not an external command line?), and recording large (ok, huge) wavs caused it to skip sometimes. But then sox saved me.
It always amazes me that some people continue to misquote, and misrepresent the bible.
Matthew 19:24 is a great quote, however it can't realy be understood without the context of:23 through:26.
In a nut-shell, 23 says 'it is hard' (not impossible), 24 refers to a camel without it's luggage entering the eye-of-the-needle gate of the city walls, and most importantly 26 says that 'with men this is impossible' but then says 'with God all things are possible'.
Bill Gates won't be condemmed for his vast fortune, neither would a begger be saved for being broke. Far from condemning money, the Lord encourages us to build a solid financial base. Hey, Christ himself collected business people around him.
There are many passages in the bible encouraging the proper managing of finances.
The average user, according to Optus, uses around 65Mb per day (or almost 2Gb/Month). The 3Gb plan could therefore be construed as offering 50% more than the current average usage.
For comparison, the plan I am currently on is $AU74.95/Month (incl GST) for up to ten times the average monthly usage, or 19.5Gb.
So, time to start hunting for alternatives. Oh, and ways to monitor my usage.
I'd be mad about that. That means MS had to pay more people to come down.
'MS had to pay more people'? No, MS would have chosen to, in contrast to Sony.
What if people were hovering around the Sony stations simply to play games, and they didn't want to go anywhere else because they couldn't play games? That means that Sony has an unfair advantage to attracting people.
What's unfair about it? It's not as though the xbox wouldn't play a game or two. In effect, both Sony & MS would have had equal opportunity to display/demonstrate games, provide personal assistance, or just let people play.
Why else did the DoJ fold so easily (mostly) in their case against Microsoft?
I wonder, could it be that it was Microsoft who folded and are now bundling M.L. in the next security update? Heck, maybe in the update that will fix the latest I.E. exploit.
Amusingly, when going to last year's winning entry I was presented with a banner (to advertising.com) suggesting that if it was flashing then I'd been selected to make money from home. Of course, it was flashing bright red.
Sure, however in American football you essentially have two teams per side - one for offence and one for defence.
Rugby, on the other hand, doesn't. In rugby you don't have such a mismatch of brute force, so you don't generally have huge slabs of meat pounding into pork-chop runners (sorry for the analogy).
Baby pajamas could be fashioned with a cellphone, so anxious parents could call home from the theater to listen to their infant's breathing, check his heart rate or even sing a lullaby.
Oh great, I can see it now; "Little Johnny's stopped breathing, we better get home and check him". heh, and all from a wrong phone number. oops.
Sounds exactly like Quixtar in the U.S or A2K in Oz. ie; (1) well known brand - goodwill is a company's most valuable asset, and (2) existing warehouses. Of course there is (3) completely debt-free.
You can't call 25,000,000+ hits per day a failure.
Timothy, are you taking late night classes in English (and spelling) from the illustrious CmdrTaco?
'Indeedy do'? I think you meant 'Indeedy so'
'midly compelling'?
And my favorite, from the previous story, has got to be; 'It will also probably strike at the heart of arguments about how regulated (and by whom) ISPs ought to by.'
It was due to a C&D letter from those wacky scientoligists. I mean, calling it a 'Kerbango internet radio'. As if they'd let 3COM get away with such a blatant IP violation!
"...one that will process 1,000 trillion operations per second. To listen to an audio playback of today's press conference announcing the project, Celera has set up a phone-in recording..."
But of course the entire one hour interview lasts only one one thousandth of a second.

And what kind of copyprotection method will they propose?

Unbelievable...

In summary, as a wav editor it is brilliant!

Oh for crying out loud people. They're television caracters. There's more to life than Star Wars, The Internet, and X-Files.
But to make the analogy a little more accurate;
Is the lunch shop penalised by Coke or Pepsi for not bundling a can with that hamburger you just purchased?
I don't think so.
I'd be mad about that. That means MS had to pay more people to come down.
'MS had to pay more people'? No, MS would have chosen to, in contrast to Sony.

I'm running Linux, yet I own a copy of Windows 95. So, according to the EULA I can legally install and use WMP under Linux.
Having said that, I wonder how long it will take MSFT to ammend their EULA to specify that it must be installed under Windows 9x/NT/2k/XP/whatever.
*sigh*
Satellite Safety Tip #14: If you see a bright streak in the sky coming at you, duck.
I know I was amused.

File manager and integrated web browser might be less than perfect, but operating system with integrated web browser....now that's just plain evil.

Here's the previous one, dated only a couple of days ago. hhmm...
Rugby, on the other hand, doesn't. In rugby you don't have such a mismatch of brute force, so you don't generally have huge slabs of meat pounding into pork-chop runners (sorry for the analogy).
Somehow I wonder if calling it NT is a good thing. I mean, is this one going to go up in flames or succumb to a fatal BSOD?
Oh great, I can see it now; "Little Johnny's stopped breathing, we better get home and check him". heh, and all from a wrong phone number. oops.

They've found Superman's hideout! And I thought it was up near the North Pole.

Ahhh, but how long does it take to compile 2.4.0 on it? :-)
