Try a judicious amount of wavelet compression. You can get 100:1 and better while retaining a highly accurate image. JPEG-2000 uses wavelets and is an accepted part of the DICOM standard for diagnostic imaging. You do want a qualified person deciding how much compression to apply once it gets to the lossy threshhold (~10:1 or so).
Emusic also screwed their early adopters by unilaterally revoking the original terms of subscription. You won't catch me going back to their ethically bankrupt asses.
Interesting factoid: It's currently number 86 out of the 100 oldest.com domain names which remain in use today. Funny how the number 86 would prove portentous...from UNIX for x86 processors to being 86ed from the NASDAQ.
I've got Zimbra running in production on Ubuntu Server (edgy) at a sizable school. Not too difficult and I don't have to go anywhere near rpm dependency hell.
This is such a hilarious troll, normally I wouldn't feed but the parent post is so ridiculous that it's gone beyond trolling into some random fantasy land.
although my email is still handled by the same small stateside ISP that I've had for 13ish years. Are significant numbers of providers going to give the feds the finger? Or will they all roll over and expose their soft parts in the name of the War on Terra?
When are the massive demonstrations going to take place? When are thousands of fed-up-to-the-gills decent Americans going to march on the Capitol and demand an end to the gratuitous use of the Bill of Rights as bumwipe? Feckin' bread-n-circuses wussies....
It's a measure of time: 1 yonk = amount of time it would take one class of third graders to read 6.18E-6 Libraries of Congress and write a book report.
I can give you anecdotal evidence. I'm intelligent. Everyone in my direct family is smart. My wife is super smart. All of her direct relatives are smart. Our daughter is not even 4 and so fscking smart that I find myself needing to evolve a bit just to keep up with her sometimes.
A theory of intelligence being at least partially hereditary fits my personal experience and worldview quite nicely.
80% of my work is done on Adobe products and I really would like to change that.
I swore never to purchase Adobe products during the Sklyarov debacle. Not too long after that, they had the temerity to buy my favorite PC audio software company, Syntrillium. I kept using my version of Cool Edit Pro as long as I could, but when I finally upgraded A/D/A hardware I had to abandon it because I won't buy Audition. Hello Cakewalk.
Adobe pushes DRM-laden solutions and proprietary pseudo-standards. They are no better than Microsoft in these regards. Can't say I back either dog in this fight....

Oh, you meant tape?
[cue tape hiss at -60db]
That's better. But how many machines are going to be around and serviced 50 years from now to play back that carefully stored tape? Lots of rubber idler wheels to dry out and crack, capacitors to leak, parts to become unobtainable, etc. Let's hope that someone is storing a whole bunch of MCI JH-24s in a secure undisclosed underground bunker, along with a stockpile of parts and manuals....
If slack time presents itself, I'll trawl around Gizmodo, some aggregator-type sites related to ongoing r&d, and see if there's anything cool on TradeMe.
You will be limited by climate (too hot, too cold, sometimes both in the same day), irrigation (money), soil fertility, salt burden, pests (when your crop is the only green thing for miles around you will be amazed at the number of things that show up for lunch), and distance from markets (transportation, money).
Maize == corn, commonly referred to as feed corn, field corn, dent corn. Zea mays -- it's all the same species and includes popcorn, sweet corn, and flour corn as well.
Why do you think that certain land in California sells for $5/acre?

Or, presuming the logic in your sig, if I hear a noise in my engine I should go to a faith healer.
I'd say you need PawSense.
And EOL doesn't happen in the world of proprietary software.
Right.
Dude, you really need to get gruntled.
OK. Get 5 Supremes to appoint me Occupant of the White House, and it's a done deal.

The following steps are indicated. Order is significant:
1) Impeach Cheney.
2) Impeach the sock puppet.
3) Try Karl Rove for treason.
4) Ferret out every GOP minion, operative, flunkie, and vote-rigger who had a hand in Bush's election(s) and investigate the life out of them.
5) Get a free press and use it.
Good luck, US. You're gonna need it.
There is most certainly an opportunity there for those who would check speling....

Indeed.

Serious? Really? What if I also have a shell account and a smidgen of ftp and http space? Still golden?
w00+!
If I was still in the US, I'd definitely be tunneling all traffic that I cared about. Too bad about the packet overhead.

With all the jokes on this thread, I'm wondering: Is humor relative, or is it a quantum phenomenon?
... it's not all about yew, after all. It's the dirt from whence yew came, and where yew shall ultimately return....
