I have to side with Microsoft on this one. I don't think the government should have the power to say you must include X in your product. It's like the government mandating that Ford must use Bosch break systems in their vehicles even though Ford can make their own cheaper (purely hypothetical situation). How would everyone like it if the court forced Debian to include Sun's Java as part of the standard install instead of the user having the option to install gcj for instance?
At the company I work for, one of the main components of our main software package will run into a little bit of a problem and throw the following into the event log (Windows): "Screw you guys, I'm going home." Always a fun time when a customer calls for support, you tell them to read any errors in the event log and have them read that to you. Most of them tend to like it, in a frightened sort of way.
Wait one cotton picking second there. I really find that being able to do everything with a right click in the GIMP is way better than Photoshop's menus. I find the GIMP's UI to be much nicer than Photoshops.
Now, it's time to turn the TV off. *Takes out shotgun and starts shooting at the power button.* At least I don't crawl on breaking glass;)
The funny thing is that everything I ever try to do in Photoshop feels counter-intuitive. Why? Because I learned on the GIMP. It takes me forever to figure out things in Photoshop, whereas in the GIMP, I can get by pretty quickly.
Yes, but the translation of a work _can_ be copyrighted, and in this case is. That's why they had to get permission from Tolkien's estate to use it. It _is_ under copyright.
Combine your two examples and we have a new field: beer cloning. This actually is a fun thing to do, because it's really hard to perfectly emulate a beer you might purchase. One of the biggest contributing factors to a beer's taste is its yeast. The problem is, most commercial breweries use different yeast for carbonation than for fermenting. If you get a nice microbrew, however, you can clone the yeast in the bottle and keep colonies of it in your fridge.
Solid. It looks like, at least for now, that really nothing worth listening to is on that list. Ah well, I'll buy my cd or two a month and download my fifty or so a month from Etree's Free Network.
Ah, I see. The problem is, the fact that you are a scalper makes you not have the right to have an opinion. On anything. Ever. Oh and by the way, if any of those Phish tickets you're selling are from Phish's ticket service, you can be sued by Phish. By purchasing those tickets, you entered into a contract with Phish stipulating you would not resell those tickets for more than face value. Read about it here
Step 6 - Stop using buzzwords. PPPoE is such a horrible, horrible invention and a waste. On top of that, there's absolutely no reason for it. At all. Why would you ever use it?
Tim would have made it more powerful and not cared about extra heat. After all, extra heat would eventually contribute to the goal of destroying as many "Job Postings" as possible. Oh and by the way, I just watched the TVography or something on Home Improvement. Oh what a great show.
It _did_ mention javascript, specifically in the context of windows popping up on clicking a link. It said that users should be able to control their own destiny and if they want a new window, they'll use their brower's function to open a link in a new window.
This is a list of all the songs they've played minus their last album which as about twelve original songs on it. Sure, a lot of the songs on that list are covers, but that doesn't mean they play them every night. Visit the Helping Phriendly Book for a list of all their setlists. In summation, realize that most of the songs they play aren't covers and they have a huge catalog of stuff they wrote. Also, when they sell copies of live shows that have covers on them, they have to pay royalties to ASCAP and/or BMI. That is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard of, but it's a whole other arguement.
Yeah, you're right. Slowly FLAC is being adopted. Etree is full of Linux guys so we recognize it as a good thing. FLAC also supports more sampling rates and resolutions, something that is becoming important as shows are starting to show up at as high as 96 kHz / 24 bit. Shorten is great for now, and the source is even released. But what happens if the owner of the code says, "OK, enough, stop using it." Legally, everyone would have to, as the license gives the author that provision.
That's interesting. I generally love good audience recordings. And I wish more people would respect that taper's wishes for their tapes not to be encoded to mp3. The reason for this is a just one. We tapers have reputations. People expect certain quality tapes from certain tapers. Because of this, we don't want our names defamed because someone encoded something to 64Kbps MP3s with a bad encoder and then burned it as an audio cd and traded it with someone. That person then looks at the info file and says wow "John Smith is a suck taper." The good thing is that most people who are meticulous enough to care about who taped a show are also meticulous enough to only trade for shows with full lineage available.
My audience copy of 11/01/85 blows away the Dick's Picks! Sorry, I couldn't resist, but it's true. That is, however, one of my favorite Dead shows. Gimme' Some Lovin' is hilarious!
It's just you and your friends. It's unbelievable how much of the current distribution of lossless audio can be credited to etree. Yes, other people do it, and some people even did it before etree. However, etree still is the most prominent and probably the most forward moving. For example, at the Gathering of the Vibes festival this past July, we made an effort to have 802.11b FTP access from the tapers' section of the festival. Translation: audio was being recorded directly to laptops, processed, and then put up for downloading while the show was going. Etree also has pushed forward a lot of the tools used by those who trade SHNs. Most importantly, etree provides critical organization that otherwise might be missing from the scene.
You may think they suck, but many of us enjoy them. The reason you think they suck is because you're not playing them back on a good system. You have to understand that studio recordings are compressed all to hell to be "hotter" (louder). Live audience recordings are generally not compressed, and due to that, they have incredible dynamic range. On a system with good dynamic range, they sound amazing. You have to understand something, Tapers are worse zealots than linux advocates. They take their hobby very seriously and a rig worth close to $10,000 is not an unheard of thing. I personally prefer a good audience to a soundboard tape ANY DAY.
That argument I can legitimately understand. The marketing is completely false as compromised security is worse than no security at all. It's going to take someone to sue an 802.11 hardware maker for false advertising before they change their ways. Sad, but true.
Yea? It's a layer 2 protocol. Layer 2 protocols aren't very secure by nature. Is Ethernet secure? No. Unless you do other things, someone can plug into your switch or hub and have full access to your network. The problem is trying to implement any security on layer 2. Don't bother. There are many things to pave a road out of: concrete, asphalt, pavers, etc. Do you try to stop auto theft and DWI by selecting different road material? No. That's silly. The same thing is true with 802.11. It's just a road, similar to Ethernet. Secure it with a higher layer protocol.
Oh my goodness, it is ridiculously easy. Do a search on Google Groups and you'll find all the information. If you decide you don't want it later, you have to hard reset it and start all over though. Bascially, you get into the admin page and turn ON Connect & Protect. Bingo, you have NAT.
I accidently deleted my first reply to this so I'll make this one brief. It seems there are just as many, if not more, hits on google that deal with Linux than Windows (about 54 vs 59 million for linux vs microsoft. accounting for windows pages not dealing with computers, I'd say they're about even). There are certainly more linux "answers" out there than windows, its just that most of the linux answers that you need are probably basic enough that most of the people running linux don't ask them. Windows is incredibly difficult to find information for. Once you get into hardcore networking and stuff like DCOM and intricate implimentations thereof, you're out of luck in the windows world.

Just for my own understanding, does that mean the original cell split once, and then one of the resulting cells split again?
Solid. It looks like, at least for now, that really nothing worth listening to is on that list. Ah well, I'll buy my cd or two a month and download my fifty or so a month from Etree's Free Network.

So you're saying that both Phish and the Grateful Dead mainly played covers? Hardly an accurate assessment.
This is a list of all the songs they've played minus their last album which as about twelve original songs on it. Sure, a lot of the songs on that list are covers, but that doesn't mean they play them every night. Visit the Helping Phriendly Book for a list of all their setlists.
