which ends up in some directory on the user profile\my documents\my music\iTunes Library\artist\album\song.m4b. I doubt many beyond savvy users would go through the effort to locate it so they could pull it out and throw it on their non-iPod hardware.
You don't have to find its actual location; just drag it from the iTunes interface. iTunes will pull it from the "hidden" location.
What's extremely funny is that all the anti-"Big Government" folks who support Bush are saying, "I don't have a problem with this". So, one of the requirements of being a right-winger (or libertarian since most of you guys are just Repubs that want to smoke pot) is that you can just turn off one of the major tenets of your belief system if it's inconvenient? You'll note that liberals/democrats never give voice to being afraid of "Big Government", so they don't have to turn off any of their beliefs. Hehehe... typical right wing illogic.:)
You're totally mixed up. The dumbed down explanation is:
Democrats: For any problem, the solution is bigger government
Republicans: For any problem, the solution is bigger government -- just not as big as the Democrats would have.
Libertarians -- For any problem, the solution is smaller government
How is this different than any business asking their neighbour to shut off their access point, because it interferes with theirs?
Because:
businesses need to play nicely with their neighbors since they don't own the adjacent property.
In the case of a business vs. neighbor, they can switch to a different channel and the problem is resolved.
There are only 12 channels in the WiFi spectrum and even within these 12 channels, there is some frequency overlap. So, in order to provide campus-wide WiFi for all students, the points have to be planned out and the channels need to be picked carefully. If you throw in dozens of private WiFi's that will be set up in dorm rooms, you can see that the campus-wide access points that were advertised will be screwed up near the dorms.
What I don't understand is that if the university is providing WiFi, why are people setting up their own access points?
Back in my day, we were amazed when we got our 2400 baud modem connected to the university computers. Finally text would appear faster than we could read!
I often in emacs select the whole file and tell it to correct the identation... which is impossible in python?
I use python-mode in emacs and it works well. It has totally removed my reservations on using Python (due to whitespace.) The trick was to use the 'pass' keyword in Python to signify the end of a block. 'pass' is a no-op and the python-mode.el module will unindent a level when it reaches it.
What used to be the main ring years ago is now the antimatter ring.
Sorry. What used to be the main ring is no longer in service. The Antiproton source was operational when the main ring was being used.
In recent years, we've added the main injector and recycler rings, to help store the antiprotons left over from the collider studies (since they're so costly to make.)
I bet they're ComEd's best customer.
Fermi has its own feed from ComEd. In the past, ComEd has been Fermilab's best customer; they pay/credit Fermi in order to tap off some of the capacity. I don't believe this happened this summer, though (since we're in a Collider Run).
Linux can freely integrate code from the BSDs, but because of the GPL the opposite is not true.
You have this backwards. Because the GPL requires all code it associates with to also become GPL'ed, you can't simply take code from BSD.
FreeBSD, on the other hand, has incorporated GPL code in the kernel and userland applications. They were careful, however, to keep the GPL stuff separate from the BSD stuff. If you are going to use FreeBSD in a commercial product, you can easily build a system without the GPL code, thereby honoring the license.
BSD Licensed code can be freely used; you can use it for personal projects or you can sell a product based upon it. Yet the GPL prevents the GNU camp from being able to use the code. This isn't much of an issue, though, since the GNU and Linux camps have a terminal case of NIH syndrome.
How about the techies go along in implementing this (to keep their jobs), but rebel in an other way: make sure the board of directors' names/numbres/info are always included in the list and don't allow them to opt-out?
How about the ability to rename a file or directory without having to piss about with cvs remove, then a cvs add, which not only kills your version history, but is also a royal pain in the ass?
I think the reason you need to use "cvs remove" then "cvs add" is so that the version history is preserved. I don't want anyone changing the historical look of the project.
I agree, however, that there should be a rename command that simply does the remove/add commands.
I see GNU tools on BSD, why isn't he demanding BSD being called GNU/BSD?
Because the GNU tools are add-ons. BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) is a complete operating system. If you prefer the GNU tools over the Berkeley tools, you can use them. However, they aren't necessary.
GNU/Linux needs the GNU tools to be useful.

One of the stories is that during some of the preliminary expeditions in Antartica, one of the teams got in serious trouble. The leader of the group successfully saved the life on one of members of the team, who had come to the brink of exhaustion. Amundsen did not like this act, it was his clearly stated opinion that everyone who signs up to one of his expeditions must be able to support himself and not delay the expedition in any way. If he is unable to follow, he must be prepared to be left to die. When the team leader did not follow this policy, Amundsen punished him by not allowing him to be on the party that went for the pole.
Close, but not quite correct.
In one of the initial expeditions to set up supply depots, the team ran into bad weather on the way back. When they were within a few miles from the base, Amundsen inexplicably drove his dog team harder and left the others behind. Johansen (who was also Nansen's expedition partner across Greenland and to the North Pole), stayed behind to help the stragglers.
When Johansen reached the base, he gave Amundsen a piece of his mind. Amundsen was a control-freak, and since Johansen's outburst was done in front of the others (undermining Amundsen's authority), he punished Johansen by not including him in the party that went to the south pole.
How fitting that the reputation of Scott, who was himself scientifically minded, should be restored by an accomplished scientist.
Scott wasn't "scientifically minded" as much as he was promotionally minded. Leading an Artic Exploration was a quick way to rise in the British Navy (at the time).
Read "The Last Place on Earth" for a different account. Whereas Amundsen took years to prepare his exploration (studying Nansen's journal, studying Eskimo survival, learning to drive sled dogs), Scott did virtually no preparation.

This is a great question! I would have pegged you as a TV junkie, what with the many spelling mistakes and borderline ramble of your post.
