I don't work at a record store, but I have worekd in retail. usually the suggested retail value it double the cost the the retailer. that means that CD's that a seggested for 16.00 to 18.00 cost the retailer 8.00 to 9.00.
the cost of cd stamping, printing, assembling, and distribution I have heard is around 2.00 a CD in reasonable volume. most CD's at stores I go to cost around 13 to 16 dollors.
that means the store is making between 5 (13 minus 8) and 7 (16 minus 9) dollors a CD. and the record company makes between 6 and 7 dollors a CD.
Of course there my be a middle man between the two not owned by the record company that drops the companyies cut some. But if not the profit is about equal and slightly favoring the companies.
I worked at officemax. We got a 10% comminssion on all plans. The ones for computer stuff was a total rip off (20-30 percent of cost), but the furnature plans were a great deal. 10-15% and they would replace almost anything for 2 years. the hydrolic thingy that alsways breaks in cheap chairs and the cushuning were the things that would almost be garenteed to be replaced within that time.
Evcerybody can win on a service contract, because a large company can repair something for almost nothing, where as a consumer you need to pay a good chunk of cash.
Also, after my panasonic DVD player crapped out ofter 2 years of light to medium use (2-5 movies a week) I replaced it with a 85 dollor memmorex and a 10 dollor service plan. The Memmorex is garenteed to last as long as the panasonic now.
or mor accuratly (still sloppy though).66% taking into account the compound interest.
of course considering the sun keeps us from being essentially 0 degrees K that is signifigant.

Strike on Iraq

· Score: 1
Not to entirly troll or anything, but I think you are wrong. The UN refused to back up it's own resolution, and Iraq has never fully conformed to the peace treaty at the end of the Gulf War.
Due to his failure to comply the War is justified from a rules point of view (even if the UN is failing to back those rules).
I personally am against the war, but cannot only justify my opinion on the loss of innocent life.
Their were rules laid out that Suddam had to follow at the end of the first Gulf War and he has not followed them, now Bush is finishing up what was put on hold for a decade to give the man a chance to comply.
Your use of vertical market apps confuses me (I am not too bright), but my point was people want to right click desktop, click on settings slide bar. That is how it is done in widows.
This package that the article is about works the same way according to the screen shots. Currently in Linux you need to adjust those things somewhere else. I don't know if you looked at the screen shots, but this project is clearly targeted at windows like to the point of not being notacible to the average person. The average person wants to change their wallpaper/resolution. The average person wants to do it with a right click. A project like this has huge potential in the business desktop IMO.
I am willing to bet that that simple of a setup will confuse people who are used to windows style wizards. Much like an rpm is easier to install then a setup.exe.
Also can you really print to a new printer without the pdd file?
What people want is to install drivers the same ad download crap little cheesey programs and install them.
People want their brand new POS Lexmark to work by plugging it in and dropping the CD in. These are the same people that like the fact that their printer blurts "Printing Started" whenever they print something. The fact that Linux software installs usually only involve double clicking a file and entering a password will be a disadvantage, people want to click on a wizard over and overr again. The fact that most driver installs in Linux involve compiling a kernel module will be even worse. The fact that most inexpensive hardware is unsupported at all on Linux (by the manufaturer) is the serious problem though. Nobody wants to search forums for their NIC driver, and nobady wants to pick which printing system to use for their brand new $49 printer. Look and feel aside the personal desktop market for Linux is a long way off. This Win2k look alike has huge potential in the business office though. Where you don't want people to install their random crap hard/software. But you also don't want people to call for support because they can't change the resolution of their monitor to 800x600 (because they cannot see the fonts).
if the admnistrator password is weak then the system can be comprimised this way with no shares being set (unless things have changed since NT4.0 that I don't know about.
The people doing the killing can come and torture/kill the famillies of natives. But if you are a foreign aid worker you are much much safer. If you are a foreign human rights worker you are much much safer. Also, if you know there is a breech that is helpful too, noone can steel your equipment and replace it after copying everything. If you personally know the info, there is no reason to think that encrypting it is much safer, you are still a liability.
Linux has far surpassed where OS/2 was, and is growing in use. Linux's total openness is a part of it's success (another part being it's freeness).
Linux has a large share of web servers. A large share of new super computer instellations. A large share new renderfarm instellations. A large share of scientific workstation instalations. A growing share in educational desktop installations. And a growing share in governmental type settings.
Linux is seriously taking off in a big way. It is HUGE and has far surpassed OS/2.
I really hope these private organizations cannot get a warrent for any amount of evidence. Maybe they can convince the police too, but that is entirly different.
The problem is that (at least as stated in the original blurb) that the reader get to draw their conclusions, and that "writing that is too explicit is not valued". The problem is that a anything that is going to do millions of things a second (computers do that I think) needs to be told explicitly what to do. You could perhaps say that you have a standard interpritation, so it is like the same person reading the story every time perhaps.
But any abiguity is very bad if 1000000's of desisions are made a second.
Why on Earth would you give up the screen real estate and yet not allow the sight you like to make any money.
You should support the sights you like. I can understand blovking pop-ups, but slashdot has a legit and reasonable way to pay for their sight, why block their adds?
Maybe high quality audio+vidio for say... making a movie will be larger then that.
I guess a lot of the editing would probably be done scen by scene, and then you could on the fly merge and compress them so that at no point you use more then 2gb, but it seems that if you make a 2 hour dvd it would be nice to keep the 4gb image file on your hardrive if you planned to reburn it.
Not a scattering of scenes that it would recreate the image on the fly.
It is kind of a dumb question when we have computers being marketed as home dvd makers why would be need that big of a file.

I thought we had them to moderate posts like your as redundent or offtopic.
and posts like this one (mine) as trolls.
oh well, to each his own.
usually on slashdot using technology and not legalese is the high road to preventing things you don't want.

I arrived at it by hang over, yes I know I am way off. Thanks for the correction.
.5% increase in the suns heat is an immense amount of extra engergy.
even so
actually .5% (.05%/decade)
.66% taking into account the compound interest.

I would imagine you are not running servers on the 512/64 cable. 64 would be really really lame for a server.
hmmmm, so maybe to replace your cable connection you would use the non commercial plan. Try re-reading the non commercial plan again.
what about c$? or admin$?
not all shares are manually set.
if the admnistrator password is weak then the system can be comprimised this way with no shares being set (unless things have changed since NT4.0 that I don't know about.

Reel advice for Linux users with bad ram.
Run memt86 and use the output for the badram patch for the kernel.
that will actually work and cut e vary minimal amount of ram out.
Ummm, it has.

Sounds to me like the problem was in hardware. Probably a shit motherboard or something. Blaming something like that on MS seems strange to me.
damn I'm a fool.
I was reading Builder Server as Build Server
Oh Well, I guess they arn't going to make it totally free.
When I downloaded and tried to run the client I was greated with a diolog box with two options.
graphics type:auto, opengl, gforce opengl, d3d
and server:official, create your own.
I didn't try the create your own though.
I always do it "there are 2 kinds of people in this world, those who can count, and those who can't"
while gesturing with 3 fingers held up.

Doesn't matter, they can retro activly sign your name to a document 10 years from now as being signed today, that would still be binding.
Seems to me that making it the equivalent to a physical signature is way open to perfect forgory in the future.
damn that post was all messed up
100% is about correct that was supposed to read.
I actually was trying to say in reality it is less though
9.00 to 15.00 being more accurate.
that is closed to 60%
