First of all I doubt there exists such things as
"sounds that alias to the "correct" sound in the human ear but which do NOT alias to the "correct" sound after being passed through a typical analogue coping device."
Even if it existed, that would mean that as soon as the song enters a Analog-to-Digital conversion, it is distorted, which bars, amongst other things, most modern HI-FI and car sound systems, some DJ mixers, club venues, bref, anywhere where Digital Signal Processing is used, which mean pretty much everywhere in 2010.
Also, I'm really not sure what you mean by "variable response"
The companies could hire the world's best hackers and come up with a file that is absolutely uncrackable....
I'd still be able to run an analog line out of an Apogee audio interface and back in with basically no loss in quality.
When he said "surface area", he meant that the surface of the oil itself is in contact with more water (tiny particles, as opposed to a big giant glob of oil) not with the ocean's surface.
(same principle as stranded wires giving a better connection than solid wires)
When I have one or two good beers in the afternoon, do you really think I do it to get drunk? I won't feel more effects than If I had drank two glasses of Coke (I have a fairly high tolerance to alcohol, even if I drink about 1 to 3 times a month).
Guess what. I actually like the taste of beer. Shocking isn't it?
Now when I buy a 12 pack of Pabst' Blue Ribbon, that's another story.
What I meant is that I don't even feel it's a burden. I like using steam more than free illegally downloaded games for the practicality of it. I never feel my rights are stepped on, and I'm usually the whiny guy on this issue.
Awww come on now. Steam is, IHMO, the only gaming platform that does DRM well. You simply have to register your game to your account and you can play anywhere afterwards (even in offline mode).
The only time you have to connect to the internet is when registering your games (that you likely bought over the net anyway). Non-intrusive and practical; I can download my games on as many computers as I want and play them whenever I want.
Well the American companies who became pretty powerful thanks to an enforced monopoly on Europe were quite happy, I think. You have to remember that the Marshall plan wasn't just fun and games.
Just a quick example: French cinema struggled after the war, since the Marshall plan demanded that at least 70% (I'm pulling this number from my memory, but it's in that range) of movies shown in France (this also applied to most of Europe) be American movies.
Videotron, I presume?
I got fucked over by them, we had to pay 172$ in extra cost (I had just discovered bit torrent and left my computer running for a week, happily leeching and seeding to everybody, content in the fact that my connection was "unlimited".
This is, in fact, the law in most countries (UK and the US, at least).
Photos of nude children just being "nude children", without sexual intent in the picture, are legal. For it to be considered "Child Pornography", there has to be sexual activity or suggestive content.

Actually I think you can do whatever you want with information contained in a patent, as long as you don't profit from it.
No need to do that, it's in TFS. Soon /.ers aren't even going to bother reading the title :)

Did your son try Windows XP Mode? http://www.microsoft.com/france/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx It's a free virtual XP machine for Windows 7. Also, what was the program?
What's worst with hearing only half of the conversation if it's moonspeak to you anyway?
I doubt you go to bed with your desktop computer. Still, this is slashdot...
Portable Approved Media (TM) player.
FINALLY! Godwin was getting late.
Definitely. Leave that to the Mythbusters :P

I can't wait to see the mac users' faces when they are told to enter something in the console :)

Would you be kind enough to provide links to software and/or tutorial and plans? I'm really interested.
Maybe TV shows will just have to get actual content in them?! What a strange idea.
I'm sure the MAFIAA has alot of friends who would benefit from people having to buy new TVs...
And it was a harbl mistake.
Yeah. It's not like Canada is governed by the Conservative party.

Because Bell's outrageous prices are apparently based on a single user's needs while most of their clients are probably households with 3-4 people.
