- No. We download, we don't buy. It's not worth it.
You don't think it's worth buying the CD of the artist that made the music, because their publisher is getting money? It is this mentality that these companies point at when they need an example of someone who is "stealing" from the "artist" [and the company].
If you like the music, buy the CD. If it is too much money in the store, find it online. But the "just download it because its free" is the wrong mentality.
While I think its a really interesting technique, I certainly hope this is kept under wraps for another few months... Nintendo is releasing the Gameboy player here in the US next week, and if they held it on account of piracy, that would be terrible.
The first MP3 I ever bothered to encode was NIN's "Perfect Drug." I'm gonna say that it was something like a P133 or so that did the encoding, with a DOS utility. It probably took 20 minutes to make. Memories...
If you are solely going to run Linux, I can't see a really valid reason to not go with an x86 based chip, for price and performance's sake. They're going to run the same linux apps.
The only reason I could see going with a Mac is for either a dual-boot situation for OSX, or if you plan to run MoL. To me, the only reason to do any of this is if there's some "killer app" that only runs in OS9 / OSX. Otherwise, don't bother.
You will no longer be able to access anything out of your local subnet. The subnet mask helps your machine determine what can be spoken to directly, and what needs to be routed. A 0.0.0.0 subnet would never route over your gateway, and wouldn't work.
May I ask why you chose Windows 2000 Server instead of Windows 2000 Professional? If it really is a server, you shouldn't -ever- be rebooting, unless its a test server.
I run Debian 3.0 and I own a FAT32 iPod. I had to get the latest IEEE1394 drivers straight from the site (www.linux1394.org), and patch/compile them into my kernel. The 1394 drivers that came with the 2.4.20 kernel would crash every time I tried to load the ohci1394 module.
However, now that it is all set up with the newest 1394 modules, it works wonderfully! I load the ieee1394 and ochi1394 modules on startup, and then when ever I want to talk to the ipod, I modprobe sbp2 and mount it just like a drive. Once its/mnt/ipod, you can run $YOUR_FAVORITE_SYNC_APP to fill it. I have a script that syncs to a dir in my home directory.
It took me a little bit of work, but now that it's set up, I love it.
Please try to take this with the least offense as possible, but if you aren't familiar with the/proc filesystem and the enumerating of devices that it is capable, how can you effectively judge its superiority over Windows?
I'm not saying that Linux is better or worse, instead my point is that before installing an operating system in unknown hardware, understand how to -find out- how to identify said hardware in the preferred OS. I just find it very zealous for someone to complain about "dumb tech support" when you are purposely ruining all chances to find out about the hardware sitting in front of you by pairing yourself with an OS you have little control over.
OK, that sounded way worse than originally intended. But how can you make an effective judgement between Windows (as an OS) and Linux (as an OS) when you obviously haven't learned Linux yet?
Were all three used equal amount of times doing similar tasks?
I'm not trying to debunk your claim, the whole idea of it wouldn't hold a whole lot of water if the linux box was your NAT box or the like, and you used the Windows machines as your workstations fulltime. What did the roles of the three machines play?

I completely agree... my laptop is running at 1024x768, and it seems like most pages like to assume your browser is a "maximized 1024 wide" window. It makes sense to maximize it like that. However, I usually run 1280x960 at work and at home, and it's much nicer to have a stripe of real estate down the right side of the screen for $YOUR_FAVORITE_IM_CLIENT and $YOUR_MUSIC_PLAYER.

WindowsKey+M minimizes all windows. Educate them the next time you see them clicking on the minimize buttons.

"Games like Contra and Bionic Commando (NES games) have yet to be challenged in terms of gameplay and entertainment value."
Oh boy... an Anonymous Coward of my tastes! Bionic Commando, The Super Marios and Zeldas, Super Metroid, and Castlevania 2 are pinnacles of fun. Any game that had the genius to copy them (Castlevania for the PSX copying Super Metroid, etc) ended up being winners.
Who cares if everything has been "done" already!? Do it again! I'm all for another 2D Metroid or 2D Zelda.
My girlfriend's roommate bought the 802.11b/g DSL router/switch combo jobby from the store, and while her one roommate's iBook works great, the other roommate's PC with an orinoco card can't find the network. Maybe a new firmware will fix it, but it really doesn't seem like it was ready.
From the article: "I was getting used to seeing more information on the screen at any given time. "
Grr, when are people going to realize that you don't see MORE when you have widescreen? You can only possibly see more when you have a higher resolution, PERIOD. I'm surprised people don't say things like "Man, I wish I could see more lines of code on this screen".
I guess I'm just annoyed with this infatuation with widescreen. Sure, you take the whole screen up with a widescreen DVD, but if all you ever do on the computer is watch DVDs, save money and buy a DVD player.
It has some valid uses, but never forget that a widescreen doesn't show 'more', it merely shows 'different'. A resolution of 1280x768 is always going to be more than 1024x768, but it is always going to be less than 1280x1024.

I believe they backported the Media Library into 2.9x. Just get that.

Actually, according to this page:

It says "that implies you can assign over 3.7x10**21 addresses per square inch of the earth's surface".

CinePaint is a "producer friendly" type name, and it sounds like it fits pretty well.

It was an interesting fantasy, but check this line:

Umm, no. I can safely say that the reason many nerds are not popular have nothing to do with their personal choice.
