If your video needs music, it should have music. The web is fairly bursting with people who want others to hear their music. No need for third parties; just make a deal. See below...

The judge's name that appears on the original complaint is Donald C. Ashmanskas from the federal district court in Portland. I couldn't tell if he's still in charge though. I just had to look it up because we've got a real loser here in Eugene by the name of Hogan who's capable of all sorts of mischief.
I would love a touch screen in my laptop to perform live using Ableton Live.
Can you get Live to run under Linux in the first place ?
I don't care too much about touchscreens, but the answer to that question only will determine when I will no longer need Windows. Wine didn't cut it and Ableton has "no plans" to port to Linux according to their flacks.
We learned another important detail about Conficker. Not only does it destroy software, but it feeds on fiber!
You know, that's the first thing I thought. The working group site was broken earlier and one report said it was blamed on a problem with fiber. Three cuts seems to indicate coordination. And it's the day Conflicker chooses to update it's older versions. (Adjusting tinfoil)

...What's the alternative? Police officers deciding to selectively enforce laws on a case by case basis (which unfortunately does happen). I would much prefer the executive branch was consistent in enforcement instead of cherry picking cases than them attempting to make decisions of guilt and innocence before there being a fair and open trial. Obviously there has to be some exceptions to this rule (otherwise everyone would get arrested and have a day in court every time a crime is commited) but by and large I support the FBI actually doing its job when fraud is reported.
I remember when registering for the draft was re-instituted in the Carter administration. Some stupid kid make a big stink and was made an example of. Today, the government is even more broke so 'show trials' will be even more common. That's how they select who to enforce on.
Wasn't it really at heart a search engine? In a Gopher world there would be no Google. And it sounds like what it does 'go-fer' instead of a marketing name.
(and, yes, I am aware of MS Virtual Earth, NASAs WorldWind, and the others.. they cannot compete with Google Earth anymore... Kinda like MS and Netscape with free browsers...
Perhaps World Wind can compete now that Google is evil.
I What needs to be done is the design of a GUI protocol that is mostly declarative. Being mostly declarative makes it easier to use by different languages and paradigms. In my opinion, the "everything must be OOP" thinking is largely what has got us stuck with language-specific kits. OOP is not well-suited to declarative APIs/protocols in my opinion. Encapsulation generally leads to behavior-centric API/protocol designs. (Some disagree, it makes for an interesting and heated debate.)
Mod parent up. Avoiding OOP is the major reason I've begun using MASM.
now that Latin America economy is growing (Peru -my country- is expected to grow 6% this year) this will surely open a new market not only for them but for whoever does a similar thing.
I'm surprised that this isn't the case in the US, frankly. What's the point in retailers if they're not responsible for the products they retail?
They are. In an ideal world, everyone would sue the person they bought it from, and they would sue up the line until it got to the person that stamped "Vista Capable" on it, which would be Microsoft. So yes, from a consumer's point of view, the person that screwed them was the person that sold it to them, but then, the retailer either applied the sticker because Microsoft said to, or they bought it with the sticker already on it, so from the retailer's point of view, they were screwed as well, ultimately by Microsoft.
So suing Microsoft cuts out the middle man.
I got my HP in November of 2006. I had already heard scary stories about Vista, so I wanted to buy a fast box before XP was no longer available. It's got the Vista Capable sticker but only 1 gig of ram and Nvidia graphics. The kid at BigBox gave me a coupon that I could have used to get Vista when it was released. He also was quite clear that Vista was crap and I would, at the least, need to double the ram then too. So that retailer was not at fault in my mind.
Now I had (and have) no intention of using Vista. It would be wrong of me to join the class-action. Right?
Some humans are BLIND blind. Others have various vision or vision processing impairments that would make meatware-visual-coprocessor-test CAPTCHAs reject them.
IMHO most CAPTCHAs are already and obviously violating of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
If a vision impaired person wants to sign up and explains in an email why he or she cannot solve image based CAPTCHAs, any sysop would surely grant access. If not, that might be an ADA violation.
Now if he got thousands of such requests every day...
I was just wondering who Kate McKinley really is. Most of all, I am skeptical as to whether she is even qualified to be called a "security researcher" at all.
Why? Because Wikipedia returns no hits for "Kate McKinley" and a Google search returns results that are sketchy or even anemic when it comes to browser security at best.
Alaska law, unlike Illinois, says there would have to be a special election to fill the vacant seat, so Caribou Barbi couldn't have appointed herself. But I believe she would have run and won.

Jonathan's Space Home Page is another useful site without any fluff. Kind of ugly, but sure enough there's a table.

What happened to the good ol days of Apple speculative rumors, when the rumors were at least plausible?
