    If you ask me, it's a crappy service.

    You have the right to tell it a non-anonymous way, but you at least argued, which is okay.
    As I told above, I do not use it because it'd be too easy to spend money on stuff I don't need (Already have 4-500 CDs filling my cupboards, excluding the GNU stuff I promote in my .org gallery)...

    Last time I bought as CD was...
    Aw shit : last Saturday : Miss Kittin (I COM)...
    Otherwise I might buy 8 to 10 CDs a year.
    Now, if people love it and are willing to pay for it, OK, I don't care much more than that.

    Alternatively you can buy the CD...

    Lemme quote myself again : it indeed sounds like you missed a point :
    1. Acquire rarities from the iShop

    See my point ?
    I did not say you should buy ALL at that shop but only stuff you cannot find elsewhere.
    Does considering this option make me a zealot ?

    It asymptotically converge to which originally was the worse : the CD-sound or the AAC sound :
    AAC is converted into the non compressed CDDA sound which, if it's interpreted correctly will roughly sound the same to the human ear.

    You really look like you know what you are telling about, dude :
    1. Acquire rarities from the iShop (or whatever it is called, I appreciate tzhe fact Apple gave me the possibility to just HIDE it from iTunes, unlike MSIE which redirects me to MSN each time he doesn't find a server and thinks I wanted to search a word on MSN)
    2. Burn these on CDDA
    3. You can now re-MP3-ise these the traditional way
    4. Profit from the newly acquired knowledge of how free you are to go or not to go to the iShop, and or how you are free to resample and reburn these if you want
  6. assurance of what ??? on Solaris' Dtrace in Detail · · Score: 3, Funny

    It also highlights Suns vague assurances that this amazing utility may or may not end up in the public domain."

    so, we are assured of a and !a ???

    I just thought of something even better :

    Could be cool to wear a demo or a game of life :)

    Follow the imdb link in the story : it's a movie Lucas made in 1971 which is about an over-protective future society.
    now, thx1138 himself is the hero of this story, now, "be happy" ;)

  11. Re:Trust me... on Does Your Company Pay For Broadband? · · Score: 1

    They keep a log of what actually got sent and READ on pagers, at least here, of course.

  12. Re:If they don't stop making shit movies they won' on Besieged Movie Industry Suffers Record Takings · · Score: 1

    I see the imdb crowd as sheeps.
    I cannot understand what else than a mode effect pulled Matrix 2 and 3 so high, for example...
    So always take their rating with a shovel of salt.

  14. Re:am I the only one saying on Daleks Exterminated From New Dr. Who · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't know but I read that there'd be a remake of soem tv serie : Doctor Who.
    Here's the closest clue of what Dr Who is I have.

    And here's a Java port of the game Daleks which I used to practice on my Atari ST.

    So I guess it's about robots and retro-sci-fi.

  15. ticket&rfid on Delta Air Invests $25 Million in RFID for Luggage · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I heard yesterday that people were now forced to label their cases while travelling using the French Railways, will it be possible that in a near future, they will be given RFIDs when purchasing train tickets ?
    What about the Swiss who have the "Abonnement General" ?
    Will they have to pre-order these ?

    Yes, indeed. Thanks for the details.
    So if the Russian also recycle their missiles, then the Cold War is definitely over.

    IIRC, the first NASA rockets were invented by the German scientist who invented rockets, so, it's just happening again decades later.

  19. Re:pathetic on Night Goggles Capture Spider-Man Movie Bootlegger · · Score: 2, Interesting

    because some cretin put it on the internet for free.
    The movie which was being filmed and its copy are not the same thing :
    The original movie is being projected ona big screen with a huge digital sound.
    The copy has a crappy and shaky 1-Mpixel picture and an almost monaural sound.

    What you'll lose here will only be the public who'll realise how lame the movie could be.
    The others will either end in a theater for the real thing and/or buying the DVD.

    So, crappy camcording should rather be considered as alternative promoting.

    By breaking into my house, then raping my cat and killing everybody or whatever else, you might end with a sentency somehow lower than by camcording a blockbuster.
