Can I use Karma with Linux or my Mac? Yes. RMMLite supports Linux and OSX. It is developed by resident Java god, Mike Schrag, and is constantly being updated. You may connect to it via your ethernet hook-up on your Karma docking station. Currently, you can transfer files but cannot do firmware upgrades via ethernet. RMMLite resides on a webserver on your Karma, included with each new firmware update. More current updates may be found at this site.
No shit.. From about Thornton/Eerie to Loveland, those SUV drivers are fucking crazy. If I have to go that way, I get out as early as possible.
I once watched a minivan cut off an RTD bus, which in turn flaked out a semi-truck driver, causing him to run into the barricade, sending a few large chunks of the barricade into the northbound traffic. Goddamn, it's like Mad Max out there.
It's even worse south of Denver, which is hard to imagine. I'm glad I have no business down there... Ugh.
If you're going to be installing a relative's computer, I'd just suggest that to put all of the nice tools and programs(Kerio, SpyBot Search & Destroy, Mozilla, MP3 and movie players, patches, etc. etc.) onto a CD or USB drive, and avoid downloading this stuff alltogether.
Grandma probably dosen't have DSL or cable, afterall.
Even the newer CRT based HDTVs aren't that bad. They have their own set of issues, as you say, but they aren't terrible.
The one I bought last year for $1300 is really quiet decent, and has served me well. I have no problems watching it from odd angles (watching from the floor, and the corners of the couch, and from the end of the room. It's not bad at all.
I'll get a watermark from a copyrighted product tatooed onto my forehead (or perhaps have my freckels re-arranged). Then I'll go around and steal stuff and rob people, because the security cameras won't record the image of my face; I'll be a walking pirated DVD.
Really, we aught to be using special file systems for flash drives anyway. FAT dosen't make sense. It was designed in an era where seek times were slow, so it sought to minimize seeking...
There are free file systems out there that are better optomized for memory based storage. This is especilly something important to consider for flash memory, because it can wear out eventually. A smart file system that distributed data across the entire memory space (so wear would occur more evenly) would be much better. Seek times are not a worry.
The problem is: everything out there (cameras, MP3 players, operating systems, etc) already use FAT almost exclusively.
It would take an incredible push from both manufactures and operating system developers to change this, and end it's going to be the customer with legacy cameras and so-fouth that would be screwed... And that's the reason it's probably never going to happen.
Patron: one that supports or protects. You can suppport a business--with your money. To be a patron is to patronize. It is used correctly in this context.
Yes... Customers (oh, no Wal-Mart is a consumer oriented corporation) give their business to Wal-Mart. They do so unwittingly. I'd go into this further, if I expected I'd ever get a reply to this. Log in, and we'll talk.
Wal-Mart uses primarily a part-time workforce. They do this, so they don't have to give you medical or other benefits. I know some Wal-Mart employees, and ex-Wal-Mart employees. Every single one of them complained about the store manager cutting their hours. Sometimes, these people would work a redicliously small number of hours, not of their own choice, but because the chain would rather have 2 or 3 people it can recycle, and not one that they have to pay benefits to.
Of course, to some of them, it's fine. But for the older people who need the money, and would really like the benefits of being full time, it's really pushing it...
--And then you gotta play the biggotry card. You're right. I don't like white trash... And I'm white. These are people that for some unknown reason chose to live in squalor, and be otherwise ignorant. They chose it. It's not because they're poor. It's not because they're disadvantaged. I know people who've come into this country with NOTHING. Yeah, it's difficult. But they keep their houses clean, they do their gardening. They rake their leaves, and they chose to better themselves. They chose to learn English, they chose to work 2 or 3 jobs. They chose to put their children into school (sometimes private). They are active in the community. They care.
"White trash" is the mind set of those who chose not to better themselves or their neighbour. They'd rather sit around in their trailer, drinking cheap beer and beating their wives and kids. They collect broken vehicles, which sit around and further decay. They throw their trash out of their truck on the highway, and illegally dump the heads of their deer (that they illegally shot). They don't otherwise care, but they think Jeff Foxworthy's jokes are derragorty.
Yesterday, I was at a rally against a Wal-Mart wanting to fill in a lake for their parking lot, and the city of Arvada using emminent domain to take it.
Why there even needs to be a Wal-Mart there is unclear. The city says its about taxes, and they're giving Wal-Mart 7.5 Million in tax concessions (5 years of business at $30 Million in retail with their tax rates) It makes no fucking sense to give the world's largest and richest retailer 2 Acers of land, and a boatload of money for them to come in and take business from the local retailers. What's worse: There's 5 Wal-Marts within 6 miles of this location.
Wal-Mart Sucks. They're a dishonest, evil, money grubbing company. They treat their labor like shit so they can supposedly lower their prices, and swamp the local economy. Funny thing is, their prices are higher on average than just about anywhere else. They conspire with cities, and exploit stupid people.
Patron local grocers and retailers. It's far more sustainable than Wal-Mart's operation. They're not saving you money anyway, and you won't have to deal with the white trash. Bonus.
I happened upon this nifty tool a few weeks ago: antennaweb.org
If you live in the US, enter your address and zip code, and it'll fetch a list of stations and channels that you should be able to receive, with their compass orientation, status, and even a street level map with the compass orientations as well. VERY nifty.
I'm sure it would help those who need to use directional antanneas to get everything setup easy(ier).
It is difficult to prove that the code being run is the same code you have source for.
It is, huh?
I happen to disagree with you.
If the source is distributed openly, anyone is free to compile it. Compile it with the same compiler versions, with the same make files, same parameters, same everything, and you're going to get an identical binary.
If everyone MD5 Checksums the source, their binaries, and the machines checksum their binaries on runtime, everything is going to match up. No matter what--and if things don't look kosher, it's a giant red flag that someone needs to pay attention to.
Everyone should be allowed (and encouraged) to compile it and disect it to their heart's content, and otherwise find weaknesses and even break it before it's ever used to declare a winner.
If the method will fail because someone has very good understanding of the process, then it will fail for the same reason if it's a closed system; all it takes is for one of the damn things to go AWOL.
The grandparent poster is correct......You can't create an ISO image (defined as a Mode 1 data track) of audio (Audio Mode track).
What you could do is create a "RAW" image, pulling the actual data bits, including subcode, with no error correction. That's a 2448 byte block. If you get that, I -think- you should be able to burn it back to a disc in the same mode and get a usable disc. That having been said, I'm not aware of any software that allows you to even rip in that mode, much less burn in it.
Yes. That's exactly what I was inferring when I said "What he means by "ISO" is a binary dump of the entire disk, not literally an ISO 9660 filesystem."
There are a number of such software utilities that allow you to do this, such as Alcohol 120%, CloneCD, Nero, CDRWin, Disk Copy in OSX, and even dd.
Errors in the TOC and subchannel data are one of the many ways to go about copy protection (Playstation, and some 'AudioCDs', for example). Pretty much all of this has been defeated by intelligently reading everything, and not discarding the errors. This is pretty well understood by the 'pirates', and such RAW images containing the subchannel data are still called, by them, "isos", though perhaps incorrectly.
Iv'e been able to read and write RAW audio disks for years with fairly common software, though I rarely have a use for it.
You'll have to remember that Apple does not bill on a per-song basis. You get a statement at some regular interval (monthly?) with all of your purchases totaled. So, CCC transactions wouldn't be such a big deal if your customers consistantly buy more than a few songs a month.
What exactly makes you think it has to "contain" that information?
DNA and all of its quirks is the programming language of life--as we know it. This is at least accepted by most people, and there is adequate evidence to back this up.
As with any programming, it's possible to write a program that dosen't "contain" all of the information in it's domain (e.g. a lookup table). It would be infeasible, and quite impossible to create a program that knew every prime number in existance, for example. It is, however, possible to create a program that uses known rules and algorithms to derive that information. Given a very, very, very long time, a simple computer running a simple program that uses simple rules could derive a great many of those prime numbers; certianly many more than the device could hold in it's memory, at any rate.
Likewise, the same thing goes for things like fractals. You can't store all of that information--that would require infinite storage. However, with many iterations, you get a clear picture. With more and more iterations, you approach perfection--which is, of course, intangible--because there is no such thing except in our imaginations.
I don't doubt for a minute that DNA isn't some sort of very large program, and that when given the right parameters, will produce a very similar thing, but not identical--because it's impossible to get every exact detail right (biological iterations). Witness twin siblings. The actual program that causes these things to happen is probably more simple than we would care to realize, but it takes an inordinate amount of arguments.
Bush is the single most fascist person in charge of a government in the world at this moment, you should know. He was second in running before Sadam was ousted. Not to point out a pebble in one's eye, when you have a log in your own:
Fascism:
1. often Fascism
1. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
2. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government.
2. Oppressive, dictatorial control.
Fascist: an adherent of fascism or other right-wing authoritarian views
This is the president who is a member of a group of secular fundamentalist hypocrite idiots who wish for nothing more than to take our freedoms, and to suppresses those who do not share their views. Exhibit A: Anti-Terrorism Acts that are overly broad and apply to non-terrorists.
Bush, and his cabinet ignored CIA intelligence that indicated Iraq was not in possession of nuclear or other material, was not seeking any, and was not in the process of disseminating what they didn't have to terrorists. Exhibit B: Here, Here, Here, and everywhere else, damnit. If only you would pull your head out of your ass, you could see it; however, I wouldn't expect that from a Bush apologist.
Nobody agreed that he was in material breech. NOBODY. We still haven't found one indicator of anything related to WMDs of any kind, and I sincerely doubt we ever will. The funny thing is the even the Great United States violates tons and tons of UN resolutions, and is in the top ten violators--right behind Morocco (#3), Turkey (#2), and Israel (#1)--yet we haven't attacked any of these other countries, or stopped violating UN resolutions, ourselves.
I'm not Saddams biggest fan (no fan of him at all, in fact), but you'll have to admit this all looks like the US is a real asshole of a big-brother giving the rest of the world noogies, dutch rubs, titty-twisters, purple-nurples, etc. and only getting rewarded for their actions--if you stick your head up and pay attention to what's going on. I'm glad that Saddam is gone, and that his sons are dead. They were a menace to the people of Iraq, however, all indicators say they were not a direct threat to the people of the United States.
Now, the republicans want to pass laws that make the 10 commandments, and pledge saying mandatory in schools. They hold that the US was created with christian morals, and religion in mind, when in fact, it was not, and when anyone tries to show them the truth, they do the equivalent of putting their fingers in their ears and yell "I CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALALALA!!!" If this sort of behavior is not belligerent nationalism, I don't know what is. And, as Bushie says, if you're not against it, you're for it. If he allows these sorts of laws pass, chalk another one up. He's almost completed every criteria to be a fascist by definition. All he needs to do is convince Congress to eliminate the term limits, and give him all the power, and he will qualify across the board.
Furthermore, I state that you, yourself are a fascist, and therefore your ideas are full of shit. "frogs and krauts", indeed. belligerent nationalism and racism. Check.
It's no wonder the rest of the world won't take Americans seriously, with people like you running about--flapping their gums.
Hey Genius! You do know that this sort of behaviour (wanting to see your dick) in a five year old is a sign of child abuse?
Frankly... No, I didn't. Thanks for the enlightenment, however.
So you pissed on the face of a five year old child who almost certainly had been sexualy abused, and you brag about it now that you are a teen/adult?
I'm not bragging about it, and I never have in the past. I'm not excessively proud about what happened, really I'm not proud at the event at all. There are more details that I didn't share, that perhaps would indemnify my character from such villainization:
Wanting to see someone else's gentials was a rabid facination amongst my kindergarden classmates, as I recall. I highly doubt that most if not all of the male population of my class were sexually abused.
I was at the moment perhaps excessively modest then, and I continue to be now. Letting a classmate see my genitals was out of the question.
Larry (I think it was Larry), was an especially hyper active (and happy) kid. It was like he got sugar and caffiene in the morning before he was sent off to school. Perhaps you'll tell me this is an indicator of some sort of childhood trauma, and maybe it is. I wouldn't know.
Really, pissing on his face was more of a mishap. Poking his head from under the stall-wall startled me greatly. What does one do when startled? He turns to see the source of his suprise. It so happened to be that I was in the middle of taking a leak. But, you know what? It felt good.
The grandparent's post triggered my nurons in such a way to remember that event, and how good it felt. So, I thought I'd share. What I forgot to convey was that I would not be at all displeased if someone pissed on the face of one certian Utah-dwelling morman CEO.
Hrm. I encountered that problem in kindergarden. Some annoying damn kid (you know, the one that always smelled funny and had snot pouring out of his nose constantly) named Larry (I think). Wouldn't leave me alone; he wanted to see my dick.
One day, he followed me into the restroom, and I went into the stall. He poked his head from underneath the divider, and I pissed on his face. Needless to say, he never bothered me again.
Yeah, that was a good memory. I need to piss on more faces.
"Do not call me again, or I swear on my mother's grave that I'll hunt you down and rip your guts out. Then I'll carry 'em home leaving a trail of blood and fecal material, and feed 'em to a pack of hungry wolves, and call you at dinnertime to let you know how it went."

In short - when you're a little older, you'll realize that "defensive driving" is a good way to get somebody killed in some fairly common situations.

You know what they say: The best defense is good offense.
And, boy, does that attitude ever prove helpful whilst dealing with the white Minivans and Volvo Station-wagons toting the kids to soccer practice.

Really, pissing on his face was more of a mishap. Poking his head from under the stall-wall startled me greatly. What does one do when startled? He turns to see the source of his suprise. It so happened to be that I was in the middle of taking a leak. But, you know what? It felt good.
The grandparent's post triggered my nurons in such a way to remember that event, and how good it felt. So, I thought I'd share. What I forgot to convey was that I would not be at all displeased if someone pissed on the face of one certian Utah-dwelling morman CEO.
Hrm. I encountered that problem in kindergarden. Some annoying damn kid (you know, the one that always smelled funny and had snot pouring out of his nose constantly) named Larry (I think). Wouldn't leave me alone; he wanted to see my dick.
One day, he followed me into the restroom, and I went into the stall. He poked his head from underneath the divider, and I pissed on his face. Needless to say, he never bothered me again.
Yeah, that was a good memory. I need to piss on more faces.
How's this:
"Do not call me again, or I swear on my mother's grave that I'll hunt you down and rip your guts out. Then
I'll carry 'em home leaving a trail of blood and fecal material, and feed 'em to a pack of hungry wolves,
and call you at dinnertime to let you know how it went."
Eh, go figure, it didn't work. I wonder why.
...
Oh, that's right. They don't give a shit.
Well, perhaps most cops are not... But the ones as my local range were impressed. They were rather green, admittedly.
Of course, it might have been my custom 13" barrel, too...
