Have anything to do with the fact that this is perhaps the poorest album Moby's released since the hour long commercial soundtrack "Play". I think Moby was looking for an excuse for slacking album sales that sounded better than "This album is rubbish." Aha! The Pearl Jam Effect! I could go on, but I'll just make myself upset.
Perhaps, if you had read the review, you would have noticed that they do not recommend the camera for print use, in fact: "If you want a digital camera whose images you can print and frame on a shelf or wall, even sticking to 3 by 5- or 4 by 6-inch size, the Pocket Digital will disappoint."
And as far as "filling a screen", the review suggests its best uses are for emailing photos and publishing less-than-VGA size images on the web.
Not being able to wait for Sony's version of an ethernet adapter, my younger brother and I went out and bought a Linksys USB Ethernet adapter. Being that the only online game thus far was Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, that's what we were playing. When we first started using it, we noticed people getting obscenely high scores. This was explained away on a few websites (and by players) as them just being *that good* at the game. However, a few online players conceded that they had gotten high scores by using a Game Shark.
The rumor mill has me believing that Activision (or whoever is running the game servers) is keeping an eye out for rampant cheaters, especially those using the Game Shark.
Another good move was that each individual server is set with a skill rating. For example, I absolutely suck at THPS3, so I would look for a lower skill level server. However, this doesn't keep cheating (or just exceptionally talented) players from coming in to these beginner's sessions and kicking everyone's ass.
I guess that was a little whiney. But it sort of takes away from the online experience when you know you suck, put yourself in a position where not being good at the game would be okay, and still have some ass clown rack up millions of points (legitemate or otherwise), while you're just trying to have some fun and perhaps compete a little.
The only reasons to justify watching was having Jack Black as a co-host and a performance by the White Stripes... even that wasn't enough to get me to tune in. I guess this could be considered one more reason not to!:)
Thought I'd be slick and download the net installer. Guess I was two minutes too slow, because now I can't download it at all! (And the installer offered to delete RC3, which I stupidly agreed to.) Guess it'll be Konqueror for now! : )
But I have to say, the "robotender" makes me want to pick up a Mindstorms kit. I wish this is what *my* CS classes had been all about. Kudos to Brown for allowing innovation and experimentation in learning!
You may be unable to eject certain copy-protected audio discs, which resemble Compact Discs (CD) but technically are not.
The point here is that these *aren't* CD's. It may look like a CD, smell like a CD, and quack like a CD, but these -things- don't conform to the Compact Disc standard. If they're still putting a Compact Disc logo on these things, I think consumers have a right to be torqued.
It's true that WHRW recieves most of it's funding from the school. However, consider that we've been streaming our feed on the net for *free* for the past two or three years. We have a budget of about $30,000 a year. That extra $500 - $1000 could be spent in so many, better ways. Incidentally, we (almost) broadcast 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. It's easy to say, "It's only $500!" when you're not the one shelling it out. Granted, it's not my money either, but it's money that could be spent on fixing headphones, cd players, bringing bands to campus, etc. Is $500 a lot of money to spend on royalties? No. Do I want to spend $500 on royalties? No. Will I pull the plug on the feed if CARP's reccomendations go into effect? Yup. Hope you like ClearChannelInfinityCitadel.
Here at WHRW in Binghamton we pay ASCAP and BMI a flat annual fee. There's no way of telling how many people are listening at any given time with a traditional FM broadcast, although we guesstimate at any given moment we have about 1,500 listeners.
As General Manager of a small college radio station, here in Binghamton, NY I know a lot of people outside of our listening area depend on our RealAudio feed to get alternative news, music, and opinions. While it might piss them off that we're participating in the Internet Radio Day of Silence, it might make them angry enough to get involved. We have cut our feed and will be running Public Service Announcements on the air to get the word out. It's unfortunate that if CARP's decision goes through, we'll have to pull our Internet Feed. Small stations like ours (broadcast or just Internet) can't afford the high royalties. We already pay ASCAP and BMI, shouldn't that be enough!?
[shameless plug] Don't let that stop you from tuning in *after* May 1st though!! [/shameless plug]
Actually, the StarOffice 6.0 Beta DID expire about a month ago. Running the application gave me a nice little dialog box saying "This Beta has Expired". I had to download a patch to extend it a couple months. Also, Sun plans on charging for Star Office 6.0, so I could care less when they release it, I won't be buying it.
It would seem that it doesn't handle.wpd. However, it looks like you can open Microsoft Word files going back as far as Office 95. It also handles Star Office's Star Writer format. I'm going to look into both this and the original Open Office, as my Star Office 6.0 Beta is slated to expire in June.
I realize the purpose of interviewing someone is to gain thier perspectives and opinions on things... but in all honesty, why do I give a crap if Bart doesn't like an icon? I didn't start using KDE because I thought it was pretty, I started using it because it worked.
Sure Vegas is for geeks! I guess you haven't visited the 24-th Century yet. It's the charming story of a geek in the desert. I can certainly vouch for the geek factor, I'm his cousin.

WineX 2.0

Because maybe you're like me, someone who does a lot of things with Linux other than just surfing the web, coding, etc. I use my box to run several servers (HTTP, FTP, etc.) and also host several websites. I'm also the gateway for the network at my house. So if I decided I want to play Dark Age of Camelot in Windows Me, everyone who depends on my system being available 24/7 are screwed. Ideally, I would have a little windows box to play games on, but I don't have the money. If a quick download and compilation of some software is all it takes for me to play some games (while my machine stays available for those that need it) then I'm all over that. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten WineX to play any of my 'doze games aside from Solitaire (cough) but I'm hoping the availability of Direct X 8 in WineX 2 will change that.
I just installed the latest 1.3 version of Apache, mod_perl and mod_php (an ugly experience) two nights ago. Maybe if I got a burrito or something for upgrading I'd do it again. Guess it's just bad luck on my part:(

Yeah, but at least then his only crime against humanity was disobeying the speed limit..
Entroducing is a phenomenal album. The fact that it would even get mentioned in an article about Moby is a discredit to the great Shadow : )
Ironically, I found Moby's albums prior to "Play" to be exceedingly better. To each his own.

The Air Force is looking into the incident and Novocin is cooperating.
Air Force: "You should be seeing a squadron of B-2 Spirits flying over your corporate headquarters in about ten minutes."
Novocin: "Um, yeah, so whaddya wanna know?"

There have been some pretty funny shenangans revolving around the Wave Bird over at Penny Arcade (especially today).
That the Slashdot editors just assume that we know what it is, and dare not give an inkling about it in the posting.
