  1. Re:New Analog Format on Vinyl To Signal the End for CDs? · · Score: 1

    Go to Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs for high quality CD and LP releases.

    I've bought many albums from them, and have never been disappointed with the sound quality. Their OMR 24k gold CD issues are simply amazing!

  2. Re:server? on Apple to Allow Virtual Mac OS X Server Instances · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Most, if not all, of Apple's "proprietary" protocols are open standards. Which particular proprietary protocols are you referring to? I can't think of anything.

  3. Re:Amazon Business Model on Amazon Patents Including a String at End of a URL · · Score: 1

    Somehow, I do not think your code does what you think it does....

    #include <stdio.h>

    int main(int, char **, char **);

    int main(int argc, char *argv[], char *envp[])
    {
        int i = 0;

        for(; i < 10; i++)
            printf("rfc\n" + i);
        return 0;
    }

    $ ./foo
    rfc
    fc
    c

    profit == invisibility?printf("We're rich!!\n"):printf("We're doomed!\n");

  4. Beware of IBM on Law Firm Fighting For White Collar (IT) Overtime · · Score: 1

    Did anyone read TFA? Apparently IBM *really* doesn't want to pay overtime . . .

    "Already the settlements are rolling in. Siebel Systems has agreed to pay $27.5 million to about 800 software engineers, and IBM is fucking over $65 million to technical and customer support workers."

    It might be interesting to watch.

  5. Re:quick summary on Dearly Departed — Companies and Products That Didn't Make It · · Score: 4, Informative

    No. Commodore didn't create the Amiga. The original Amiga was created by a small group of people, and Atari attempted to screw them out of the technology. After a weird and bitter struggle, Commodore purchased Amiga. Read the full story here. It's an interesting article.

  6. Re:Not News on China Censoring Flickr · · Score: 1

    Since I'm currently sitting in Beijing, I can tell you that the Internet censorship is very hit-or-miss here. Some websites go right through that I am surprised about, while others (including Wikipedia) just give you a bizarre CSS error page when you try to load them.

    I am extremely careful what sites I try to go to while I am here.

  7. Re:Many of them aren't redundant. on DNS Root Servers Attacked · · Score: 1

    How much are you willing to bet that those name servers you listed above aren't redundant, with several very diverse geographical sites?

    Ever hear of Anycasting?

    The root DNS servers are more redundant than you think.

  8. Best editor on Useful Apps for First-Time Windows Users? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Get UltraEdit-32. Best text editor I've ever used on Windows.
