the article is wrong when it says "tyranny of mass market research" caused radio to suck; two things happened A) as always, the soul has been sucked out of a vibrant social institute (Radio) by Profit-Motivated-Corporations. B) Payola facilitated this soul-sucking.
Do you REALLY think that the Federal Govt. would put into place a system that limits their power?
it dosnt limit "their" power -- it just changes the makeup of a the house (or maybe the senate:) to more accurately reflect the citizens. The "power" (mandate) of the Federal Government would not change - only the way we choose who goes to Ottawa... its more democratic... you should read a little about prop.rep. and alternate voting methods... oh, and see politicalcompass.org for some fun.
its not going to sound like your Onkyo reciever will - furhter, its got a HD && fans for lotsa crappy humming noise to f-up your $4000 B&W speakers (or whatever) listening experience.
If there was a way to put a PC in the entertainment center -- and Have it *SOUND* like a good pc of audio kit, we would all do it -- trouble is, a $150 sound card dont cut it.
I know a guy from college who worked at a *LIBRARY*. He was about 22 years old and had well over a thousand CDs.
if your Canadian, you can LEGALLY copy Audio CDs. Your CDR blanks have a tax that goes DIRECTLY to some RIAA-whore group -- in exchange, you can copy any CD you please for yourself...
so, go on down to the library with your burner and have at it.
for those who dont 'get it' (like me) why would you WANT 802.11 on Ham Radios? why not just stick w/ PCs and 802.11b APs (as we have now)?? multimedia on a radio? umm, wouldnt a wireless 802.11b tcp/ip network do that..?
wrt M$ - i like it, it is the same kind of advertising/marketing for the ANTI-ms camp as "where do you want to go today" is for M$ themselves - it makes a point, its quick and effective...
who decided you would be allowed to frame the debate and outlaw nit-picking (as "M$" I concede is...) - really, the communication straight *from* M$ is equally shallow and empty... whats good-for-the-goose...
I wouldnt describe ruthlessness (ms) and amorality (walfart sweatshops, unionbusting) as 'competitive'... people who disagree w/ their actions -- for MORAL reasons -- are suggesting the rest of you patronize someone else... as I do.
for every dollar bill gates has its $1 that a worker (who wrote the software, did the accounting, drove the truck, washed the bathroom etc) doesnt have.
no person can possibly create the billions of dollars Gates has... his 'weatlh' is a result of a distorted and corrupt system.
dont applaud him because he has managed to suck money from so many...
the richer you are, the less moral and honourable you are -- if it was not so, you wouldnt actually *be* rich... meaning, a "good" person would SHARE and not HORDE.
Does anyone else find the statment "details an agreement between the RIAA and various hardware and software companies in which the RIAA has agreed to avoid seeking legislation a little uncomfortable?
the idea, that, two multi-national business organizations (comp. ind. / riaa) have basically made an agreement to A) not "buy" some legislation from their corrupt governmnet and B) further collude in some way to determine the future of the industry.. i thought these people were supposed to be COMPETING???
In reality cities should be redesigned from scratch & people should be made flawless by genetic modification to reach the situation where the human compliance to the complexities of an algorithm as a psychogeographical device is perfect.
This is my favourite bit. This whole seems to be a little too much pseudo-intellectualizing fuelled by drugs and intellectual self-indulgence. College roommates spending WAY to much time exploring their earth-shattering ideas... time to sober up and read a book (in a genre your unfarmiliar with).
Huh? Tell that to Nortel, JDS Uniphase, and Telsat Canada (who built and ran the first commercial domestic telecommunication satellite) - Canada is far and away the leader in telecommunications technology - now and since day one.
and you can stop this "we innovate they just mass produce" dogma -- American-Domestic propaganda, pure B.S. - America isnt the only nation with a Research heritage.
wouldn't he want to avoid increasing the supplies of oil, especially foreign oil
Except when OPEC controls the supply - making your point moot.
Further, Russia's oil industry is entrenched in the Iraqi domestic Oil industry... and the expatriate (soon to be puppet) Iraqi leaders (in London) are already saying they will give preference to US (and britain -- shame on you brits) oil compaines if they are installed.
Lets not even talk about the coup in Venezuala && the Shell/BP/Esso supported 'strike' there at present.
"Globalization" (as defined by Fair Trade Advocates) is about unfettered trade amoungst nations - all of them... for good or ill, without any concern for the states that oppress, have non-secular governments, little justice etc etc -- these are states people of the west would rather help socially -- but Capitalists see them as a labour pool, low environmental law heavens, cheap taxes, cheaper Natural Capital (natural "resources"), etc...
Globalization is an effort by Capitalists to gain control of "virgin territory" - the West is already firmly in the grasp of this new Plutocratic Monarchy... and in order to keep the bubble from bursting, they must grow, Grow, GROW...
Next time you read something about the principles behind the Fair Trade (anti-globalization) movement -- specifically, The Race to the Bottom *THIS* is exactly what they are talking about.
Labour rights (like not having to work 90 hours straight time, not having to put your hand in a drillpress, unions etc) are things that you will have to GIVE-UP if you intened to be employed in the future... remember, there is always someone more desperate than those in the west... and your Employer would happily exploit them instead of treating you with diginity and respect.
wrt: SpamAssassin trademark was owned by Deersoft, so hypothetically, NAI could force us to call the Open Source project something else!"
...except that the previous owners did not vigorously defend the mark against the Free Software project, would NAI now have grounds at all? Selling the mark does not erase the actions Deersoft did/did-not make.
EXCEPT that there is no justice in the USA without $$$$ - so the mere threat of a suit from NAI would cause the F.S. project to freely walk away from the 'battle'.

funny the way that works eh..
DIP switch for the frequency setting, 8 for the manufacturer, and 8 for the code. Do the math. It would take a long time to try each combination
.001 seconds...
Unless you made your Garage Door opener WITHOUT dips -- and cycled through the combos in

I wonder how Quake3 would feel run from MythTV..?
umm, and it sounds like shit.

do you really want something like that blasting out radio near your $2000 CDN reciever?

how f'ing obvious can this be...
Why use windshield pumps? alcohol might disagree w/ the gaskets within and dump some nasty shite in your glass - ick
Why use pumps at all? Just use relays and let gravity do its work - pinch off tubes below the bottles.

Have a look at a similar offering from Onkyo here: Onkyo's Netstream

What you want is this from Onkyo

No.

The universe is 4003 years old. Everyone knows that, details of the universe's creation can be found in the Bible.
I mean really, when are these so-called scientists going to stop with this ploy to undermine The Truth.
Jeeze.
