I have a large collection of shn and flac files and keep them converted to alac for use on my iPod. The ALACs usually end up smaller than the flacs. The difference is usually on the 5-10 MB per GB range. That said, I would rather have a quicktime element to handle FLAC files than a non-quicktime ALAC encoder. I've heard the Quicktime addons are hard to write though.
For tboth configs of the mac mini in the US apple store, the prices of the airport card and BT card are: BT $50, Airport $79, combo $99. On the UK store for the 1.2ghz the prices are: BT 35.00 UKP, AP 49.00 UKP, and combo 152.88 UKP. However, the prices for the upgrades on the 1.4 ghz are: BT 35.00 UKP, AP 49.00 UKP, and combo 69.99 UKP. I think there is a possible typo on the store or something. the 152 UKP price would seem reasonable for the combo BT/APExtreme and an AP Express bundled in, but not for the combo card itself.
Well, I'd buy that except the US Apple store doesn't charge more than the price of the BT and AP modules separately for buying them together. In the US, Bluetooth is $50 Airport extreme is $79, and the combo card is $99.
No, he was right, mach is the microkernel for OS X and BSD runs on top of it. Darwin is kind of like BSD and Mach, just like MKLinux was Linux and mach. The NeXt/OSX comes in through the cocoa object-oriented application environment.
There are computer based Cruise control systems that are adaptive to slower traffic. There is a Lexus and Mercedes system like that now (I think.) that uses a radar to detect a car in the lane ahead of you and will reduce your speed and keep you back a set number of feet until they change lanes, at which time it will resume your set cruise control speed.
I think it is kind of odd too that Nintendo has kept backwards-compatibility in their portable gaming lineup, but has failed to do so with their consoles. At this point, gameboy has so many hundreds of titles available both new and old that it probably crushes any console as far as available titles (anyone got any hard data on this?).
That is "terroristic threatening". This label is not new in any way, shape, or form. The police weren't calling him a terrorist, they were just saying what he would be charged with terroristic threatening if the manager wished to press charges against him.

Okay, I listen to a lot of independent and new music, but I've never heard of ANY of their top 10 tracks. I'm sorry, but this doesn't beat the iTMS in my book. No recognizable artists on their front page or promoting the site from what I can see. Come on, this isn't the only music store that supports linux. Yet another lame ass front-page story on/.
Doubt it. FLAC & OGG really aren't that popular. I would actually rather see just quicktime support for them. That way, it would be easier to transcode them into more widely used formats for use on the iPod. AAC and ALAC are much easier to play back for lower power devices, are already supported by iPod and iTunes, and ALAC generally takes up less space than FLAC by a good bit.
It's not for expired copyright works, but rather they are talking about an exemption in copyrighting books that allows libraries to make audiobooks for the blind without paying royalties. The blind do get shafted in a lot of ways, but they are at least allowed to have audiobooks made from copyrighted works. I know that around here there is a group that broadcasts newspapers on radio for the blind and reads books over the radio for the blind. These services are volunteer-run, and seem popular with many elderly people. I wouldn't be suprised if there is a service like the one you are imagining in existence.
Local bike cops got segways...

... and hate them. A bunch of local businessmen donated segways to the local police department earlier this year. I was talking to one of the officers who is using them now, and he says it is the worst waste of money he's ever seen. The segways are not as manuverable/fast as a bike, need batteries, and are just wierd around town. Sounds about right to me.
$450-$600 for the value pack? I guess some people have to have the latest and greatest I guess. This is a pretty cool little device though. MP3 playback and JPEG support should allow for minutes or even hours of quality jackage.
Uh, blow me. Ferrari and AMD have had a fairly long and successful history together. They are breaking their relationship with AMD to start one with TCS who will not only do F1 enginering work for them, but also will provide software for their road cars. You say I am being a "racist american shit", but it is really just the truth.
STFU and go back to your lame ass life you anonymous coward piece of shit.
Probably. Everyone else I've talked to says that it has shown up just fine. I think the 10.2.8 client patch came up a little late, but if you still don't see it try repairing permissions and the usual stuff. If worse comes to worst, download the patch with the standalone installer. It will be at: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/
BTW, the Mac OS X Downloads slashbox usually will show you any stand alone update and is really cool regardless.

...installing windows takes care of that pretty well already.
It doesn't have one, it's an iPod Shuffle copycat.
This display will allow you to see a whole midget, life-sizd on your screen. Sweeeeet.
... and only 2,073,600 are either stuck or burnt out.

The same person who let G.W. Bush into Yale.
Anyone care to take bets on how long that will take?
Netcraft confirms it.

Not to be a nitpicker or anything, but this isn't actual irony.

You do know, however that most if not all calls from jails in America are recorded. Calling in a hit from jail is both dumb and wrong.

Really, Ferarri is outsourcing a lot of their computer engineering work to india from now on out. They are ending their AMD deal over it.
