try using Total Recorder with quicktime. Your attempts will easily be foiled. Its like they have some sort of macrovision-like protection on their audio streams (protected or not)
actually, i think winamp does use some part of internet explorer. If you try the winamp browser (alt-t), it brings up a semi-functional browser, which records its history in your normal Internet explorer. ofcourse the functionality of a browser in an mp3 player is questionable, but the point is that it is there
Rerendering alone would make it too expensive to dub it into other languages. its not as easy as converting the lip-syncing movements to another language. Body movements would have to be re-animated since they would have to sync with the speech. Remember that in translating to some languages, a short english sentence could take seconds to speak out.
Agreed. But, if i was a graphic designer I would not mind spending the money of photoshop since its use value is way beyond the price. Photoshop is optimized for an effecient workflow, while GIMP tends to be rather cumbersome and unfriendly. There also used to be a crippled versionof photshop called photoshopLE that was bundled with scanners, which could be considered free(as in beer)
CMYK output and Pantone color matching ensures that a printed image looks exactly the same as the output of a monitor. Photoshop allows for the easy calibration of monitor output to printer output largely because it is the standard in the graohic industry. And the reason it has become a standard is through use, practically every design firm uses photoshop, primarily on the mac. The gimp unfortunately is a pale imitation of photoshop, which suits most home users fine since some of photoshop's tools are unnecessary.
actually, the "rebadging" of BT's Adsl services is called arbitrage, and in telecommunication circles it is definetly not considered competition, especially when BT also owns the lines that independent ISP need. Here in Canada, Bell jacked up the price of their T1 lines threefold a month before announcing their own DSL service.
Isn't it odd that the submitter of the story is also the owner of the website where the page is hosted? It seems to me as if it is a quick attempt to generate some banner ad revenue. Especially since screenshots of this sort have been around since the initial introduction of the T-buffer.
Strange, judging by the comments, this seems like a non-issue. However, if microsoft had to do the same with IE I am sure every slashdotter would be screaming with anger.
"Like many elements of perception (sight, hearing, etc), the more you work the sense, the more acute it becomes."
exactly, that is why audiophiles arent as crazy as some people make them out to be. I recall reading a review on a $65000(!) turntable where the listener could correctly identify which brand of skins where on the drums. Now, would that be possible with regular cd? Would it even be possible with SACD?
I would pay twice as much just to have a wider choice of music than is what currently broadcast on the radio. I work in a restaurant (yes, not exactly the ubergeek workplace of a regular slashdotter) and we have the celeste satellite music service, which provides roughly 30 different channels of music. And its not just any old crap that they can find. I was surprised that they were playing really good quality ambient music on the ambient channel. The quality of the broadcast is excellent (i think its exactly the same as cd)and its a whole lot better than searching for that elusive song on napster.
What would really be convient with Sirius Radio is if you could connect it to a cd-r or mini-disc and make your own mix cd's which would actually be legal. And once again the quality would be relatively unaffected, especially if there is a way of sending the digital stream straight to your hardrive.
IIRC, Intel named the 586 architecture the pentium because they wanted to differentiate their product from the 486 clones from cyrix and AMD. Unfortunately it isnt possible to trademark numbers, so Intel paid alot of money to a marketing firm to come up with "Pentium", which was easily trademarked as it was a completely new word. However, when intel was ready to launch the PII, they found that the names hexium,septium, octium, nonium(sp?),etc had all being copyrighted by a bunch of sly folk, in the hopes that intel would by the name from them. Unfortunately Intel took the easy way and decided to cop out with the pentium II,III and now 4 processors.

true, but then again final fantasy:the movie hasnt come out yet. That may probably become the defining CG/fantasy/games movie.
