  1. Re:How this could work. on RIAA Wants Right To Hack · · Score: 1

    Try telling that to the IT students we teach at my university. Of course if the academic staff refuse to think for themselves how on earth can they expect the students to?

    How is it that someone can teach C++ programming but is incapable of using a graphical ftp client?

    Because then the sane people have trouble reaching you too.

    In IM situations where I don't want to talk to people who are pestering me I just make myself invisible (Easy in ICQ). If they still persist in sending me crap they go on ignore for a while.

  17. Re:I thought it was Charlie Pride... on CD Copy "Protection" in California · · Score: 2
    And the interesting thing about that article is: ---

    That situation was underscored last year in a failed attempt by BMG Germany to push secure CDs using technology from Israeli security company Midbar. After shipping 130,000 copy-protected CDs, BMG was forced to abandon the project in January as complaints piled up from customers, who said the discs wouldn't work on their players. ---

    Doesn't this new tech come from an Israeli security company?

    I'm sure M$ can stop my copy of CDEX from using lame to create my mp3s. Give me a break. All this will mean is that M$ won't be giving you any tools to record mp3s and will be plugging the hell out of WMA.

  23. Nothing new on The ASCII Cam · · Score: 1

    You've been able to do that with SGs for ages. We have a SG cam hooked up to an Indy box that we can record and convert into *animated* ascii that will play back in a terminal.

    The Scan player however has truly awful DVD output. Add that to Scan's notoriously bad customer service and you have a big waste of time. If you can do without the VCD support try a Techtronics chipped LG3350E. Stunner of a player
