That's not how the smart kids do it; we encode to FLAC and then to whatever target format and quality level we need. Since oggenc2 supports FLAC as input, including the transfer of tags, it's all very comfortable. The safety of bit-perfect backups with the comfort of being able to pick and chose bitrates for the portable player. Golden.
Might be true, LAME isn't exactly a speed monster in high quality mode. On the other hand, oggenc/lancer is so fast it's almost silly. Upgrade to Vorbis, save money on hardware:-)
I know this will sound like a stupid "If you've got nothing to hide...", but really, if there weren't anything hidden out there, and AOL could be made sure to fix any damage the do (grass, trees, etc).. why would you fight this? Wouldn't it simply be AMUSING to watch them flail blindly?
I think that never is this more amply examplified than when the people who manage 'rights holders' "explain" how, if it weren't for copyright, there would exist no art.
Azureus already have LAN Peer Finder and JPC (Joltid Peer Cache). Not sure how this is different from JPC on the practical level:
Joltid PeerCache (JPC) is a device employed by ISPs to reduce the huge external network bandwidth required to support today's P2P networks. It basically acts as a caching web proxy (like Squid), only for P2P file data.
Looks like by going its own way, the official client will once again create segmentation, just like with DHT.
Did you watch the latest episode of 30 Days? The episode is ''Outsourcing'', about a programmer who lost his job to Indian, and goes there to work and live with an Indian family for 30 days, experiencing the other side for himself. Very good episode.
Actually a Piratee MMORPG sounds like a much better idea than another generic fantasy/scifi game. You could have both land and water combat. Experienced players signing up to captain ships, the level-1's signing up for cannonfodder-duty in one of the great nations, and at the top, experienced and wealthy buccaneers, owning several ships, but splitting the time between commanding their small armada with working politics... gotta stay on the good side of as many factions and nations as possible...
FFG: "No cage shall separate us, and no Plane shall divide us." Fall-From-Grace's face becomes like stone. "Keep thinking of me, and we shall meet again."
TNO: I SHALL NOT FORGET ALL YOU SACRIFICED FOR ME.
FFG: She shakes her head. "Just do not forget me."
TNO: TIME LAYS WASTE TO ALL THINGS. BUT I SHALL FIGHT IT AS LONG AS I CAN.
FFG: "Time is not your enemy. Forever is."
Well, for years and years there's been smack talk about the need to "bear arms" in order to protect the people from the government. I suggest less talking, more shooting.
>perl has been the only language I've decided to entirely skip after realizing how bad it really was and the fact it was designed solely to appease geeks that wanted to repell the opposite sex.
I once made that general point here, and got the "5, Insightful" (or whatever) comment that "Perl owned me".
It's an argument over like 16 pixel lines of >1024. It's stupid. Really, it is. I just can't take it seriously that a) it can matter in the real world (improving readability), and b) someone would actually want to turn their GUI into widget-soup by combining button widgets and menus in the same 'line'.
If this is a deal-breaker for you guys, alright, but it't can't be taken seriously as something worthwhile to fix. I especially liked that comment about my request for a server-client response tab being to esoteric. Cause yeah, I can see how all users are freaking out over the in-ability to cram buttons into the menu row to save themselves one row of text out of fifty or so.
(Finally, in that screenshot much of the miniscule difference is due to the theme on the Opera installation. Find one which isn't so "fat" and you'd be down to Firefox height, without the widget-soup!)
> but even then it still usues way too much screen space for things other then the actual webpage.
WTF?! You do know that the sidebar "Panel" toggles on and off with F4, right? Requests ought to focus on stuff that isn't already in the browser and trivially available to users to configure, don't you think?
I'm sorry, but requesting more space for the web page is sort of insane, considering there's always full screen mode (F11). The difference between full screen and my current configuration is neglible. Here's a current full screen screenshot (~44KiB) of my setup. Explain what you want to disable and how that makes a real difference to your browsing experience.
Personally I'd like a special tab which would include all client-server exchanges, toggable to exclude content body/show as hexa, etc.
You become a bit jaded after watching The Power of Nightmares (torrents), which dealt with this. This sounds (cursory look) even more flimsy than the four men arrested for being al-qaida operatives based on a video shot on vacation at disneyworld/land/whatever. And oh, the doodles of the mad-man who rented the house before them.

Yeah definitely save the money on the iPods, the iAudios are much better anyway. I suggest the U3 if you want a good flash-based Vorbis-player.
Yeah, but that's all there is. Hints of arcs to come. It's so fluffy and unsubstantial it might as well not exist.
(I haven't seen the latest ep, I'm hoping this will change _soon_)

Eureka is pretty awful if you ask me. No season or even multi-episode arcs in sight (yes, I'm aware of 'Beverly', doesn't count).

By collating data that either you've given them directly, or is publicly available from elsewhere?
Oddly, if I were to do the same thing with say FBI agents, that wouldn't go over so well, would it?
Based only on the blurb, this database would almost certainly be completely illegal within the EU (Directive 95/46/EG, unless it's obsolete).
There's quite a big difference between "percentage of overall email traffic" and "spam received by people". One can go up while the other goes down.

Running Scared. Sure, I might have a small crush on Vera Farmiga, but it was acutually a very good movie, I thought.

Everyone can't play Guybrush Threepwood :-)

I too was touched by that, but I later found out that supposedly, if you play the game through at the hardest difficulty, Mona lives.
I'm happy believing this.
As someone who just completed Planescape: Torment for the first time about an hour ago, I can say YES.
PS. Best. Game. Evar.

</tongue-in-cheek>
The neo-conservatives need to project an formidable opponent, that's how they got and intend to keep control. It very plainly laid out in the first episode of The Power of Nightmares: The Rise of the Politics of Fear
> I notice Opera doesn't have much in that respect
Except the "Block Content" feature you mean? <sigh> (right click on page, select "Block Content". Select the content you want blocked. Press button marked "Done". Done.
