I think it's pretty obvious, the whole reason why RMS is throwing a pissy fit is because UnitedLinux represents a significant loss of control for Stallman. It puts even more distance between GNU and Linux, something he has been trying desparately to glue together in the past couple years. The whole bucket of "lets call Linux GNU/Linux from now on" crap is evidence of this. He thinks the train is leaving the station, so he's going to do everything within his power to get onboard it or slow it down -- That includesd running out infront of the train and laying down on the tracks.
Theres more than one way to "get on a train", unfortunately.
Well, if the diagram is correct (i.e. the data is cheesecloth encoded, and the protection lies in the fact that the encoding layer is semi-reflective, the only thing you'de need to do to build an evil, satan-worshipping CIRCUMVENTION DEVICE would be to mark or "paint" the CD on the reverse side so that it can be sensed in a reader, and read the disc in two passes. Something like a a clean mylar sheet shaped like a flat donut, used for each side. Once youve got the data, simply a matter of doing the math, and whammo, youve got both the "new" high-resolution side and the "old" normal audio side. Looks like we'll have a "frying pan" for our burners soon.:)
Thats not it at all -- Its an inherent property of all analog synthesizers with ring oscillators, that they have this curious random noise when idle. Its not interference.
..StarOffice WAS free... but now its no longer free, so now it's free instead.
I'm telling you, Sun's "Insanity First!" initiative is REAL! When you people start believing me? I was right about Katz being a mad-libs Perl script, wasnt I?:)
Kids these days...yeesh. We used to call this sort of stuff the "voice of God"...And used it as a crude diagnostic tool to determine if hardware was alive or not. You can get the same effect by holding an AM radio near a computer, and tuning the radio to a clear portion of the dial.
Infact, I diagnosed a bad power supply in an SGI Indigo 2 a few years back using this method.
What I would really like to see is a formal explanation of the faint warblegoogly noise produced by idle analog synthesizers with ring modulation.
I keep trying to tell you people, but everyone just laughs... Sun has been encouraging their employees to put "insanity first" when it comes to their business decisions. What more proof do you people need?
I just think Lucas is trying to insert "poo" analogies in his films. Pretty soon, Vader will be re-dubbed to refer to his army of "stormpoopers". Han Solo will be encased in poop instead of carbonite, AT-ATs will step in poop, and and the climax of the saga will be when Vader gets unmasked, only to say "Poop, I am your faaaa-tha."
Of course they see sales numbers.. But those numbers have absolutely nothing to do with how many albums their label ships. Tell your brother who works for "one of the biggest rock bands in the country" that his record label decides in advance wether or not their album will go gold, platinum, or quadruple-platinum, usually before the album is even recorded. The record company doesnt care if the CDs end up in the bargain rack. If they want to have an act "go quadruple platinum", its because they ship the album in that quantity, not because it actually sells in that quantity. Again, wake up. Its been an established practice in the recording industry for decades. Hell, i've got a damn Devo video from '79 that even makes a joking reference to that practice...
"Parcheesi, a new group! Ship platinum!"
Its like this. The recording industry only has to be smart enough to fool their core demographic---teenagers. That means, they develop scams that can out-think an 18 year old with $20 to his name. It aint that hard, in other words.:)
You're damn right this is a fucking flame. I'm tired of it.
A) If you believe this album was "leaked" or somehow released accidentally, I have a bridge in Brooklyn i'd like to sell you. Record companies do this intentionally to boost record sales on artists they suspect will tank. For that matter, if you even believe the "Billboard" charts are anything other than a marketing tool for record labels, again, I've got a great bridge i'd like to sell you. Entries in the Billboard charts are bought and sold like superbowl commercials. Record Label A pays $X,XXX,XXX to rent the #2 position for a week, to promote their artist, while Record Label B pays $X,XXX,XXX for #4, #11, #24 and so on, and so on.. Its carved up like a pie with the best slice given to the highest bidder. Wake up.
B) If you have so much time in your hands that you can sit around and listen to sonic diarrhea like Eminem, you even more of a goddamn moron than I thought, Rob. Theres so much good music out there, both today and yesterday, and all you can think to do is listen to a big steaming crock of crap. Niiiice.
C) This is neither news for nerds, nor stuff that matters. I just opened a site for the Linux community, to give them a place to share desktop themes without all the foo-foo bullshit of Freshmeat/Themes.org. I tried submitting the opening announcement here no less than 3 times, and had it rejected every time. Meanwhile, you want to tell your Oprah book club about controversy that isn't really a controversy. You running a infomercial site now, Rob?

The Columbine Culture Of Geek Media, by Jon Katz.
The media culture of geeks, or, rather the columbine culture of media is the new geek. Columbine, in addition to the media, created a geek culture where new geeks could columbine the culture. The culture, in return, created a geek media, and performed a coup d'etat. Then Columbine, a geek culture, had a new media. Geekdom. Geek. Culture, New, Geek. The columbine culture of geek media provides a new culture for Columbine, different than the geek media culture provided by new geeks. Columbine, columbine. Columbine. Thank you.
Ever get the feeling that Jon Katz is a mad-libs perl script?
Of course, the answer to who we send is obvious -- We should send an ethnically-diverse "Power Rangers" like team to Mars, because that way, we can sell action figures and color-changing cups at Burger King. We should send an African bush man that speaks in grunts and clicks, along with an Eskimo, an Aboriginie, and perhaps a midg^H^H^H^Hsmall person, because sending qualified engineers and scientists from the actual country footing the bill for all of this crap would be RACIST. So what if most of the engineers and scientists happen to be white. So's 80% of the country. How did they get to be such a big majority? Simple.. They're RACIST!!
For the humor impaired: The parent article dicusses the question of "who we should send".... In other words, "lets discriminate", which is a subtle form of racism in and of itself. It infers that the people who are going to be picked will NOT be picked for their qualifications, but rather, picked for their ethnicity or skin color, which is friggin retarded. I say, send the best people for the job. If they happen to be blacks, cool. If they happen to be hispanic, cool. If they happen to be white, cool. If they happen to be friggin purple, cool. The whole issue of picking an "ethnically diverse" crew is a crock of shit, because "ethnically diverse" may not mean the same thing as "best people for the mission". Neil Armstrong wasn't chosen to be the first guy to walk on the moon because he was white. He was chosen because he busted his ass in training for several years, training that anyone could have undergone, and many did.
The solution is fairly simple. Throttle down the traffic during the peaks in the porn curve at 10:30 PM, 1:30 AM, and 4:00 AM. Throttle the bandwidth back up during normal business hours. Result, fewer bits in the pipe, lower latency, both sides get what they want.
Of course, we could always unionize, and begin charging Comcast and the @Home mafia for the fact they pass along advertisements into our browsers without prior approval or consent. Doing so might offset such a "metered usage" tax imposed on us.
Then again, you can always just uncap your cable modem, and get the milk thru the fence.:)
In a related story, NASA has announced that it will abandon its space exploration effort in favor of running a ski lodge catering to exclusive, high-income customers, like "P. Diddy". An unnamed source close to NASA has said that "We need to turn a profit, you know? Those rockets don't run on hydrogen, they run on good ol' American greenbacks! Like the ones P. Diddy has! He loves to ski, did you know that? He's big into everything NASA is into."

Ok, its cool and all.. yeah, being able to project something volumetrically, but is it really _useful_ ? I fail to see how paying $20,000 for a bleeding edge "display sphere" makes more sense than rendering something in stereo, and crossing your eyes, which most visualization packages are capable of doing nowadays anyway.
Where I used to work, we had a number of visualization packages that allowed researchers to view molecules/proteins/DNA sequences in stereo. It was routine, and required no specialized hardware.. You just render two views of the same object, side by side on the screen, with one view taken slightly from the left or to the right of the other. You can manipulate them in realtime, in stereo. Doesnt require glasses.. Just have to cross your eyes. Hell, go visit my site, i've got a couple stereoscopic wallpapers up, and theres nothing stopping me from producing stereoscopic 3D animation in Blender.
Ah, when Stellarium gets the ability to track satellites, THEN i'll be more than happy to go wireless with my net connection.:)

Why bother.. Its pointless to even try. AA "support" for Mozilla already exists, on an "experimental" branch of the CVS tree. You're looking at a group of developers who think that anti-aliasing the friggin fonts should be relegated to an "experimental" branch!
Now, stop and realize what that means. A feature that every mainstream browser has had, out of the box, since the mid 1990s...and the Mozilla doesnt want to bother to include it. Its like nobody can go the last fucking mile anymore and make something that actually looks good. Personally, I could care less if Mozilla goes 1.0 or not. Without AA font support, people are going to forget about it. Then what will all the work be worth? You guessed it--nothing.
Why is it so hard for Mozilla, a project that has been going since 1998, to have AA font support, when other browser projects (like Konqueror, for example) took only a month or two to add it? You guessed it -- Retarded leadership. Theyre building a browser for programmers, not for end users. And, until they realize that, and fucking DO SOMETHING about it, people will continue to ignore their work. Then, in the end, itll all be pointless. Theyve built a 5-story catapult for a war that already ended.

Sounds like a prime opportunity to test out those miniature tactical nukes our government is whispering about. Whoever it doesn't kill, it sterilizes -- Something that would allow us to forget the past as well as preventing this sort of thing from happening in the future.
The only interesting thing about all this, is how the Linux community has decayed over the past 3 years into an embarassing public squabble with all the hallmarks of a third-grade sandbox dispute.
Let this sort of thing be an example to future projects. When you allow commercial intrusion into a system based on individual generosity, such as the whole Linux movement was, the system becomes unbalanced. Egos and jealousies take over, the system becomes poisoned, and people get hurt.
