Analog is worth it if you've got the money and somebody who can set up the tape correctly and use the equipment.
Why is this?
Consider the following: you have a loud sound, for example a bass drum. When the computer interprets this, it goes higher than what the computer can record, so it clips the top and bottom of the sound wave.
Analog magnetic tape will absorb these sounds, creating smoother and better sounding waves.
I remember reading somthing on/. about OLEDs (organic light emitting diodes) and how sony or sharp or sombody is developing them. You could make this a lot smaller, put a lot of OLEDs on a clear surface, have it spin around a lot, and sell it for a lot cheaper.
Unfortunatly it seems they have a patent. Another good technoligy prevented from being further developed.... sigh.
I got a spam... well, i guess its time to rewrite the entire internet from scratch so that everybody will have to by a $2000 certificate from VeriSign and force everybody to use it, just so there's no more spam.
The teachers had told my parents that I "had been changing faculty files." I told them it was simply my password, and that technically that was a file owned by the faculty. I told them I did not "hack" in to anything. (This file was among many files in system use, for example applications. The share was offered by system admins to all accounts.)
My parents were on my side (as well as a few teachers and other faculty (that worked on IT, kinda)).
The whole thing should have been allowed under the AUP. I am not a cracker, a script kiddie, or anything like that, nor do I intend to be.
At the school I go to, in 7th grade (on a Novell network), we were assigned joe passwords (password=username). I hated this, but there was no way to change the password. It was all done through Novell's application explorer. The Upper School students (I'm in 9th grade now) got to use a change password icon, while we were stuck with our joe passwords. But I found a SETPASS.EXE in one of the shared folders and changed mine. I got in a lot of trouble and was *banned* from using the computers for a few months.
The point is here: both sysadmin and users need to know about good security. How can I as a user protect my account if the sysadmin is assigning unchangable joe passwords?
Those were some pretty modest things he said comparing Linux to Novell.
In all seriousness, I feel that Novell should do its linux thing, and if the stuff they do is crap, the Darwin theory will come in to effect, and people just won't use it.
In all honesty, I would be suprised if Novells stuff turned out better than what we already have, and I think the fact that Novell wants to lead Linux is much like the blind leading the people with 20/20 vision.
His remarks about the linux OS were just trying to make Novell look strong.
Microsoft is just starting to learn about open source, and they are getting closer and closer to the GPL. The more they open up their code, the more benefits they are getting. Faster developent is what it looks like they're aiming for. I would say that in the future, Microsoft itself might write code under the GPL/other OS licence, as they learn the benifits most of us know already.

Linux? Free as in beer? Maybe.
Free as in freedom? ALWAYS YES.

it seems some newbie-moderator has modded a perfectly legit post down. its here I just want my voice to be heard
Stick this thing inside it.

CNET and Information Week aren't going to get slashdotted, don't worry.
Ballmer says theres no place to go for bug fixes.
No. 1. RHN and Ximian provide easy updating tools that deal with this.
No. 2. Use common sense. If there's a security flaw in programx, go to http://www.programx.org (or whatever there web site is.)
I know, he thinks hes important like he invented linux or somthing...
I got a spam...

Sounds like a stupid plan to me.
You sound pretty mad about this...relax, its a slashdot comment.
You could use this to put windows in your case, as well as etch designs into the window.
Why is it looking for robots.txt in a subdirectory?

If i had mod points right now, I would mod you up insightful....

How is this flamebait?
All operating systems were immature once.
Mod parent up: Underrated.
Novell Forge, Novell's Source Forge like thing. Some propoganda from Novells site.

opened and shared are not the same thing, contrary to what microsoft wants you to believe

Yes, they do have a contract with the contract holder. They give away the right to use the trademark in e-mails for personal or ISP use.
I don't know what problem these people have, other than that people get angry easily when you get them good.

I know its terrible when they discontinue the GPLed code.
Unless its on the first of April.
