It doesn't seem to matter how long the songs are. Whether I buy the Toy Dolls 30 second album intro or some 18 minute piece that took 100s of musicians in a full blooded orchestra to produce, I pay the same. Will this result in artists making shorter songs? Or maybe even "multiple parts" to maximize their revenues?
the fact that his state (Oregon) has the highest unemployment figures in the union instead of worrying about stuff like this? How is this gonna help the Oregon economy anyway?
The common examples seem to be persistance, concurrency, and something else. AOP is OK, my problem though is that its applicability to orthogonal issues seems (to me) limited. I am rarely able to find any more uses than the common three examples. I am much more interested in some of the recent work done on Traits Programming.
Apparently, despite yesterdays story it is OK for our good ol' government to stalk you. Too weird that these two stories appeared so close to each other.
Tomorrow's Apple/. will probably be something like:
Lynx developers decide to abandon Lynx port to Jaguar.
In a surprise move, Lynx developers feeling dissed by the fact that Apple didn't use the proven Lynx rendering technology have sent iSteve an email (from pine no less!) stating that if Lynx is not demoed at the next MacWorld, they will cease the release of their nearly complete port to MacOS/X. Said key developers, "what really surprises us is that we figured with names like Lynx and Jaguar, we were certain they were destined for each other. We were sure that chosen OS/X code name was a cue to us to continue our work"
The press release says the Vera font. What I really want is a well populated decent looking scalable unicode font. Will this be just iso-1? or well populated across all of unicode?
Holy insane! That is just way too much. Get a life. I like to read and all too, but seriously. Consider:
At 3/4 x 4 x 7 inches, I figure you've got about 1.5 cubic yards of books.
On shelves, enough to roughly make up the 800 meter run.
If you bought a lot of them at used book stores, I'll give you an average cost of $2.50. That's $10,000! That's three new snowboard sized PowerBooks.
At 6 hours per book (you must be a wicked fast reader by now), and 2048 hours to the standard US work week, that's roughly 12 man years of reading.
Are you sure you really have 4000?!?!?!
It's probably because of something stupid like...

DSL Rising

People measure cable in "miles", but DSL lines in "kilometers".
Seriously, if the techno giant US still uses the english measurement system when the rest of the world uses metric, that we're bucking something like the DSL trend shouldn't surprise anyone.
For me, the must reads of SciFi have always been Asimov, Bradbury, and Clarke. With a strong extra vote for Kurt V (but V doesn't fit in the "ABC" quipe). The cool thing about SciFi is that it allows the author to extropolate a particular theme in isolation from reality, often almost to an extreme.
I remember viewing the eBay purchase of PayPal with some trepidation. Thinking, this just can't be in my (the consumer's) best interest. And while I'm sure there were problems before, the sort of heightened injustice in the light of a move that was supposed to benefit the defacto public online auction place, just fries me.
So, what are my choices (that's what we love to jump up and down about having)? Are there other online aucctions that even have a chance of being as large as eBay? Or other payment methods? I see the whole PayPal-as-part-of-Ebay, so much like the Microsoft having become the defacto desktop and then pushing it's web browser and subsequent internet policies on everyone.
Why are states' works automatically copyrighted, but not the feds? Or vice versa? The difference doesn't make sense, they're both just regional forms of government. A state has also the same branches of government. I don't get why the difference iny copyright law applicability.
I haven't even read the article, probably wont. Isn't every couple of months there's some startup scam promising some massive jump and paradigm shift in bandwidth? Aren't we about due another one?
Lots of interesting talk about whether this is ideal, etc, but what I want to hear, is what is the best way for me and others to increase the liklihood of this bill's passage?
It may not be ideal, but it sounds much better than current situation.
My mom uses a Mac. Get a grip people. I use all three, have all three at home, can hack all three, for many things prefer Linux. But there's really only one OS that keeps my wife, kids, and parents from calling me with problems... a Mac.
Let me see if I can get the logic straight on this: At a time when music consumers are happy to use sampled formats (MP3, OV, etc), the move to even high quality sound and having to rebuy all of the CDs will be a good thing.
Hmmm... I think I'll just burn CD copies of the SACDs.
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah! We could auction it off on Ebay!
What's the difference again?
Adventures have their own money or they lobby politicians to give up some of the governments.

That when a language needs a gazillion books to try and win its acceptance, maybe something's wrong with the language.
Mod Parent UP!
Integraph. That's like a name o' the past. Will $250 Mil do anything to put them back on anyone's radar screen?

How long before I get it running on that super wicked IBM super computer?
I thought that's what all of those emails with embedded html viruses that people click on was.
Oh, Say can you see
By the pawn's early plight
What so proudly we failed
at the trials past scheming.
Whose blue screen and oft starts
through the endless night
Oer the networks we watched,
were so total enslaving.
And the public's ensnare,
the bugs always in there,
gave truth to the might,
that Bill's flag was still there.
Oh say does that Steve Screamin Balmer yet wave
to the land of the free,
but he wants us to pay.
And that default screen saver... the wavey flag with the Windows (TM) icon.... is what?

kinda adds a whole new weight to the old "Diamonds are Forever" thing. This must be yet-another marketing ploy by DeBeers.
