mp3.com has actually tightened up their restrictions on what you put on there site. Instead of making your own preview recordings, a staff member formally trained in computer science determines what portion of the song is interesting, determines the proper audio balance, and makes a realaudio preview of your music. The preview is of the most boring part of your song, encoded in the worst audio engineering humanly possible.
Then of course, the restriction to 10MB per song is a CS major's dream come true because it cuts the download time for listeners, but how much classical music is deliberately written to accomodate file sizes?
The idea of freely hosting music is a great idea, but unless CS degree programs start requiring music training, the implementation isn't going to be musician friendly.
I went to a big name, private school. Graduated with an B.S. in a hard science other than CS. Went straight into unemployment.
That degree won't guarantee you a job, anywhere. Some graduates find employment. Most don't, depending on what major you were, how competitive your grades are, and whether you graduate when the time is ripe in that field. If you're scraping by already, bag the college education and keep working until the next recession.
I origionally doubted the rumors that George's staff modelled Yoda after Gordon B. Hinckley. This Naboo sounds a bit fishy. Is Naboo in Illinois too? Did the same guy who invented Yoda invent Naboo?

If only these kids could spell powerful right, we'd dispell the reputation of bad grammer.
Isn't the failure rate of UNIX utilities affected by whether you have root access or not? Since most Solaris boxes are owned by companies with very few root users and most Linux boxes are owned by individuals with root access of course the failure rate is going to be lower.
Where you live is important. Don't move to Florida. Forget about the Hope College Michigan area. Move to silicon valley and get your parents to cover the rent. Also Utah is employment heaven right now. I can't go a day without reading about some business explosion in Utah. All those Marriott graduates starting their own companies.

We have a lot of comments from people who are making over $100,000 and a lot from people making less than $50,000 with no-one in between. Very interesting.
This all started with RMS feeling bitter about the death of academic funded programming. Then in 1997 he started ranting about being pushed into a closet, forgotten, ignored, left behind by fame of Linux.
RMS started the GNU/Hurd project, in response to Linux. GNU/Hurd was going to be the free-free dream UNIX that didn't allow loading commercial drivers and would make the world bow in hommage to the one and only RMS for saving them from commercial tyrany.
Then in 1998 when Linux started getting on CNN and RMS saw his own GNU/Hurd project failing, he blew a fuse and started the GNU/Linux naming business. www.gnu.org even had a quip about GNU/Hurd being dead last year. If he couldn't revive his popularity from scratch he would now look to someone else's work for his popularity. Now it's gotten to where he's taking credit for initiating Linux first.
Linus thinks some commercial products are good and RMS knows it. RMS's problem with Linux is more the Linus part than anything else.
It's not like this all happened the instant Linus took the GPL. This naming and crediting business has correlated directly with the Linus to RMS popularity ratio. Linus accepts commercialism. Linus is popular as hell. RMS despises commercialism. Who the fsck is RMS? How many issues of Forbes magazine has RMS been on? As a means of gaining popularity, if you can't milk Linux, rename it.
I thought one of the virtues of the GPL was fame, recognition, and the ancillary employment opportunities it opens up. RMS is more and more crediting himself with developing Linux. If I GPL a program, spend $40,000 of my own money developing it, and it causes RMS to feel ignored, it's suddenly RMS's creation. In 1991 if RMS knew where Linux would be in 1999, Linus would still be in Finland teaching undergrads how to load floppies. Transmeta would have looked at his resume and said, "Oh, but that's GNU/Linux. RMS wrote that, not you."
If RMS knew that the equipment in the studio that he was interviewed in used COMMERCIAL audio gear, COMMERCIAL AUDIO GEAR I TELL YOU! in the name of Linus Torvaldus!, mother of all things big and small, he'd shoot the producer. I won't develop a free audio codec until critical listening environments are free!
Just not many are majoring in CS or getting BSc's and ABC's in it. I know a lot of PhD. Biologists who can program a Linux kernel in their sleep and throw up beowolf clusters in their labs but can't get paid for it. Then there are the B.A. graphic designers who develop their own 3D software that crushes 3D Studio Max but can't even get winked at by employers.
Cyrix 686 support was dropped as of 2.2.0pre1. Alan Cox says he fixed all the Cyrix bugs and there's no longer any mention of it in his diary. My kernels still die on boot with Divide error: 0000 when compiled for 586/K5/5x86/6x86. I understand the Cyrix 686 isn't very popular and mine is no longer sold in stores. Is it time to ditch the Cyrix and get an AMD?
Since the server is going to require the Quicktime library it won't be much use on Linux. How can it not require the library if it is to read Quicktime files? Apple is never going to release the Quicktime source because Linux runs on the same hardware as MacOS and Quicktime is the only thing keeping MacOS alive.

Every time he's been interviewed about Star Wars it sounded like he was about to puke, collapse from exhaustion, or spin his head around 360.
For his own mental sanity, it sounded like he needed to quit.

I can't get welcome.exe, calc.exe or anything to boot in wine. Everything dies with Page fault in 32-bit code (0x00000000).
linux/arch/i386/kernel/smp.c line 1055:
if(!cpu_hz) cpu_hz = 150000000;
To work around the Cyrix divide error bug edit /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/kernel/smp.c
in front of line 1055 put
if(!cpu_hz) cpu_hz = 150000000;
Replace 150000000 with whatever your clockspeed is in hz.
To get the sb module loaded specify values for io, irq, dma, and dma16. The io value should be a hex number starting in 0x, like this
insmod sb io=0x220 irq=10 dma=1 dma16=5
I doubt these obscure bugs are going to ever get fixed.
Never ever let a wild cat near that area of the body. You can be sure that guy keeps his legs together when handling animals nowadays.
