Write very very good contracts. From what I understand, the problem that is happening here is that there's just enough ambiguity in the original agreements that this shit can slide (ie some kind of loophole).
I'd imagine this process mostly applies to new books or new editions of existing books. I would think that a public domain work wouldn't have any last-minute changes done to it by the DTP firm or printer. As for formatting...does that really matter for PG?
It'd be nice if this process could be expediated with help from those who might have already done the data-entry legwork (ie the publishers)
DNS, DHCP, and Routing need to be combined into a single protocol and server implimentation
Doesn't it seem like a bad idea to combine elements of different layers of the network model? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of that model in the first place?
Too bad Metroid Prime (last boss) is really tough, otherwise I would have beat it already.
Nintendo might not be the killer console (so to speak), but the fans of the various game franchises (Zelda, Metroid, Mario, etc) will stay true to the system.
Right.. Joe User just spent two grand on his computer. gets it home, opens the box and it says: "Hi, you may now pay us another $300 for windows + office." I see that happening.
I could see this happening too, but I think the consumer backlash would be pretty severe for these types of "hidden costs." The way the market would react to this kind of thing is probably the only thing keeping MS (or OEM manufacturers for that matter) from doing this already.
In a streaming situation, you'll probably want to have a few options, namely a "high-bandwidth" and a "low-bandwidth." Now, if I'm broadcasting to a server, doesn't it make more sense for the server to be able to broadcast both without recompressing? I'm sure the overhead of peeling is significantly lower than a full reencode (especially on-the-fly), and that's where the win of peeling comes into play.
In the preview situation, I'd imagine the lower-quality preview would be more like half. So instead of 1meg of a 10meg file, it'd probably be closer to 5, so you'd only have to download the other half, instead of the whole 10meg. This would be an even bigger win in the case where you're unpeeling from already high bitrates (ie "pretty good" to "really fucking good")
What happens if the entire building burns down (as was the case with Twente)? Even if the room is "fireproof" or fire protected, it wont stop several stories worth of brick and mortar from coming crashing down and destroying everything underneath it.
Distributed off-site backup is the right solution for critical data, (and again, Twente' data was saved off-site so they only lost their hardware, but no data).
True, there has to be someone to play devil's advocate to make any kind of research like this worthwhile. However, I'm sure there are plenty of other proponents for closed source that would be a much better choices than MS.
We've all seen how the hive mind thinks (ie FUD), which is why I made the sarcastic remark in the first place. I'd expect that whoever is sent to this conference as a "diplomat" will only be there to push the MS agenda, rather than objectively participate in a meaningful discussion.
Slashdot Mirror
Exactly.
I use Evolution + KDE together, it has no bearing on the Ximian desktop whatsoever.
Simple.

Yeah....except what happens when the version I have is 300 pages, and yours is 500?
This would probably work better on a per-chapter basis, not per-page.
She KNOWS it's a multi-pass!
I think you meant to say:
/etc/hosts
host slashdot.org | awk '{print $4" " $1}' >>

I miss my TG-16. Even though it was essentially a more colorful NES, it still had some great games.
Anyone else just get a whiff of nostolgia at the mention of TurboGrafx?
I'll be really upset if they totally botch this (likely to happen) the way they did Resident Evil (ugh...truly awful).
I'd be curious to see who they cast for the role of Samus though.
I bought a GC last week soley for Metroid Prime.

Sarcasm is obviously lost on you.

I wonder if they're gonna get Tina Turner to reprise her role?
That would be excellent
The decible scale is logarithmic, not linear

Try using a program like sound forge or cool edit to run some noise/pop filters (normally used for cleaning vinyl recordings).
Alternatively, you could just redownload/rerip the bad mp3s (as ogg)
How many people who use windows know anything about ipconfig though :)
pump eth0
That wasn't so hard, was it?
Easier than going through several dialog boxes of a "wizard"
Well if your ultimate "fix-it" solution for windows is to just ghost the machine, then I suppose that could be considered "easy."
However, it's rather silly to rely on a complete restore from backup every time something goes wrong (plenty of people do this though).
FYI:
This is the list of all the known inconsistencies in FotR. Some of them are actually quite simple and some are rather amusing.
I think he's talking more about the inconsistencies in the filmmaking, not in the translation from the book. Some of the mistakes are just sloppy.
That being said, I never noticed any of them when I saw it in theaters, and I'm not anal enough to sit down and nitpick over all of them on dvd.

This is especially useful because we're at war with Japan right now..........

No....it's most likely an IRC-ism:
