    I know where they got the R&D money...:-D

    i mean, a one man OS is impressive, but i can't see anyone actually using it...
    Yea, that's never happened before... ;-)

    Too bad you're going to jail for copyright infringement. I copyrighted the "0" symbol a long time ago and am just now starting to care about protecting myself from your derrivative works.

    By the way, I believe "illegal" is a registered trademark of Microsoft, expect a cease & desist from them.

    Of course, I'm screwed too, the RIAA patented my whole business plan, except they added the words "using the Internet or other electronic communications network" in order to get it approved as if it was some new/useful/patentable idea. Perhaps I can weasel out of it, with a good enough lawyer. ("THIS....is Chewbacca...")

  5. Re:AAC is the "industry standard" on Microsoft Unhappy With HP's iTunes Decision · · Score: 1

    AAC is the industry standard.
    I think it should be noted that the reason for that is because it's basically .mp4; however isn't it true that nobody is allowed to use that unless Fraunhofer gives them permission?

    A more likely scenario is greedy corporations who adhere to the GPL, finding the license to their advantage, attacking greedy companies that don't. Which is a good thing.
    ...or, at least, a better thing...

  10. As a "pro" DJ myself, I have to ask: on Video Scratching Goes Mainstream · · Score: 2, Insightful


    Why?

    Honestly, I don't think there is a great enough market for this sort of thing. I always imagined a live performing artist with gear sending MIDI->DMX (DMX is a digital light control system) to sync the lights in a club/venue to the music, but it seems to me that taking DVDs (even custom ones) and scratching them wouldn't be all that cool, as least not cool enough that someone is gonna buy this. It feels like a gimmick is all.

    Can anyone point me to a video of someone actually doing something like mixing video clips like this? Besides that VDJ software that Coldcut tried to market back in the day...

    PS: George W. Bush, the Presedent of the United States of America, sucks at speaking. He's almost as bad at speaking as he is at pretzel eating.

    The relevence? He pronounces "nuclear" as "nucular" (noo que larr). He's also been known to say "Turrurrst" instead of "Terrorist", and I swear to God I never want to hear the word "proliferation" again.

    They're all worse than Ross Perot for God's sake...

    Anyways, I think that was the joke the AC was gunning for.

    Agreed. My family first got an answering machine when I was about 8 years old. We've had 4 or 5 since then, and I have personally had 4 or 5 myself, osme of which I got for free to play around/use for parts. Every one had a Toll Saver feature. 2 ring pickup if you had mesages, 4 rings if you didn't.

    She also told me that they're crazy about blonde American girls over there, but that could just be her...

    ...then again, who wouldn't be crazy about blonde American girls?

  16. Re:They were being polite on The Changing Face of Offshore Programming · · Score: 1


    I think this is correct for all asian cultures; I have a friend who visited Thailand...when she gave the traditional greeting and bowed her head she was told to say "Hello" like a normal American.

    Honestly, althought that's normal here; and I for one think it's perfectly acceptable to learn & adapt to another culture, even for visitation reasons; I could easily see how other cultures could consider this backwards, especially asian who seem to be the most hospitable and out-of-their-way polite of all.

    There is a difference, and I blame the lack of any sober editors at Slashdot today for this getting through.
    If you where a /. editor in 2004 would you be sober?

    Seriously though, it makes me uneasy that this day in age someone writing about the Internet could actually mistake the Web for the entire Internet...if that's how less informed people think of the 'net then hopefully we're not in for some serious lack of (actual) innovation in the future, know what I mean?

    The difference between big-batch-o-CDs and radio is that the radio can come up with somthing I have not heard yet.

    You'd think for such a starving market, game developers WOULD put the time and energy into simultanious releases. Macs are quickly catching up hardware-wise (IMHO, already surpassing x86), and the software is undeniably awsome.

    Mac users like games too, what are developers waiting for?
