Too bad there isn't a geeky activist group to organize such a thing. If this were organized to be across several cities, small groups of five or six people in each city would be very effective.
The EFF etc leap to the mind.
local papers and tv stations will probably cover it if you tell them ahead of time... there's not much news on a holiday weekend anyway.
Good idea. And you can convince the next journo-wannabe that this is the hot story and launch a career while you are at it.
Good tips: but red taping might be carrying this too far.
The CDs are ripped into MP3s to play at Mr. Perlman's place? I thought MP3s are lossy and are scoffed at by audiophiles; the de riguer (in my mind) is SACDs or better instead of 192/256K sampled MP3s.
And he ripped 1000 CDs to 15000 songs: that works to 15 songs per CD. So he likes all songs on all the CDs he owns. I want that CD list !!!;-)
Most of India is still on dial up; the broadband connectivity numbers are very low. Electricity is iffy. The barrier to technology is high (only good schools have access to decent hardware).
But I think there is critical mass to set the snowball rolling.

Jupiter at Mercury's orbit?
Isnt that like a binary star system with a cold one and a hot one?
Is this possible? How transient is this phenomena -- does it go away in years or centuries?
Your reply is off the mark. The poster was talking about big releases and not about some little known dummies guide.
And with all due respect, had there been a conspiracy taking place in Amazon, I have the feeling that you were not high enough to be in on it.
What the PHBs want is proof-of-concept. And no, any amount of links to SETI@home/folding@home/DNET project will not sink in.
So this is a good thing for the level of knowledge in distributed computing in general.

It is from Redmond, it is Linux, it is so easy that a 2 year old can install.

Seriously though: can we detect if some civilisation wrecker size thingy is on its way.
These are sneaky bastards: more devious than NEOs come out at us in the direction of the Sun.
And we cannot even drill a nuke into these suckers.
Hmmmm.... that lifeboat thingy (posted yday) grows more pertinent by the minute.

Just hours ago there was another post from the same mag: that article profiled dubious audiophiles and a hot chick.
This one had a hot chick too: but she was pleasuring jaded execs in the "Hot" zone.

This is going to be exciting.

There is a lot of effort going on in localising Linux to various languages.
