The article links the the Wikipedia list of recipes but not to the Wikibooks cookbook.. There is not much there at the moment but as soon as people start dropping by and adding a recipe or two it should grow.
his has to be bullshit. There's no way that EV1 is going to pay 7 figures for a license from these pricks. They operate on a razor thin margin at $99 bucks per month per server.
It may be seven figures spread over the life of the contract (however long that may be).
Lots of salaries for sports stars are advertised this way as well.
The means to do this are now in our hands, as artists. What's needed, is more artists, banding together collectively, and then doing it. There are no longer any technologically significant barriers to this problem.
I don't think artists banding together that will help the customer at the end of the day (after all artists banding together might become just as bad as industry groups are now).
I suspect the future will probably be more geared towards collaborative filtering (by the masses, not by people who are driven by their own self interest).
Check out iRate radio for an example. For everyone who is to lazy to go to the site:
iRATE radio is a collaborative filtering system for music. You rate the tracks it downloads and the server uses your ratings and other people's to guess what you'll like. The tracks are downloaded from websites which allow free and legal downloads of their music.
Don't be abusive, but explain the problem clearly.
Ok, exactly what points do people think should be covered? There are obvious points about the amount of Australian literature that wont enter the public domain for another 40 years and the ways in which patents in the US are misused but what are some important examples, etc?
A complete letter isn't what we need (lots of identical letters tend to be ignored) but important points to cover would be useful.
Heres some trivia: the first people to make the iDon't, iWas, etc jokes were Apple. Turn an original iBook over and "iWas assembled in Taiwan" is written near the battery cover.
They'll move the building to an entirely different location, that they will call by a "hi-tech" acronym, and change the design without letting anyone see the blueprints. The new delivery bay will be the wrong size for current trucks. They will set about making all vehicle plants change to the new size trucks and will tell everyone the new trucks are better as they can't interact with old "insecure" buildings.
People will continue to break into the building by using the huge number of gaps left in the walls where Microsoft assumed no one would look. Microsoft will claim these gaps were left for ventilation and that it is exactly the sort of thing the market wants built in by default.
Once people work out what the new building's delivery bay looks like Microsoft will alter its width by 10cm and force everyone to buy vehicle upgrades (scratch resistant paint, wing mirrors closer to the vehicle body, etc).
Eventually they be forced to move the building again...
I don't know why you would link directly to sourceforge project page for Freevo when they have a much nicer homepage, including screenshots, at http://freevo.sourceforge.net/
From memory all of Microsoft's CD pressing work is controlled by UNIX machines.
I seem to remember this being on their website years ago as part of their explanation on how no Microsoft products could be infected by virus (before leaving the factory).
There was also a great Japanese site that showed the thing taken apart until the wires were dangling, but I always have the dangest time Googling in Japanese.
Everytime something like this comes up I'm reminded of iRate radio (I know its slightly off topic but it still comes to mind). From the iRate homepage:
iRATE radio is a collaborative filtering client/server mp3 player/downloader. The iRATE server has a large database of music. You rate the tracks and it uses your ratings and other people's to guess what you'll like. The tracks are downloaded from websites which allow free and legal downloads of their music.
So there you have it. Now you can cut the RIAA out of the loop entirely.
No, this was never true. Hold down the mouse button while the computer boots and the cd will be ejected before the computer tries to mount it (works on any mac with a CD drive).
On a side note these new fangled crippled discs mount just fine on my mac and I end up with two desktop icons, the data partition (useless to me since its all windows fluff) and the audio tracks. iTunes rips the audio just fine.
If this is only a question of the RIAA and the need for their music promotion schemes (that is, ignoring the use of radio for broadcasting news, etc) then, no, we don't need radio.
Projects such as iRate radio will, eventually, ensure that the RIAA has much less power over people listening habits.

Does anyone know of a good PC oscilloscope with Mac support?
(since we're already talking about PC oscilloscopes)

This joke is so not funny anymore.
It never was funny and all these people who think it is, or was, clever need to realize that Apple beat them to the joke.
Turn over an original iBook and you'll see "iWas Assembled in Taiwan" written near the battery cover.
I'm getting tired of this joke...

No, standards organizations like to make money from the information they provide. Many (most?) are for profit enterprises.
You can often get hold of free, electronic, copies of standards via university libraries.
Hmmm, some of these are odd 130.104.252.20 doesn't even seem to be in the USA. Did I miss something?
Where does MS fall on that scale?

Which reminds me of another joke:

I agree, I like iRate but the GUI really does suck (but they are only up to version 0.2). This will probably be a project to keep an eye on though.
Here's something interesting; Finland's president and prime minister are both female.
So... Everyone in Finland is female?

Yes, but as you well know anything that can go wrong woll.
All the deaf people I know have mobiles. I don't know about the US but since everyone in Australia uses GSM we can all send and receive SMSs.

It really was just curiosity, I'm buying a new mac in a couple of days so I'll get a AUD$35 upgrade to panther anyway.
