  1. Finally! on Professional, Portable, Live MP3 Encoding · · Score: 1

    I always thought it would be nice to have something to record live shows to mp3 with. Given, it's not excellent quality, but it's better than listening to a show someone recorded with a classroom tape recorder.

  2. WHAT?? on KaZaa Ignores Court Order to Shut Down · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I choose to ignore this /. story.

    If you're smart, you'll choose to ignore this post.

  3. Re:hehe... on CA Court: Message Boards Are Opinions, Not Facts · · Score: 1

    You know, I bet that might hold up. Why don't you try it and let us know how it turns out.

    but seriously, I hadn't thought of that. Thats good.

  4. Don't worry... on Excite Could Go Dark On Friday · · Score: 1

    If you live in a "Major metropolitan area", then I'm sure you'll have something before too long. Why should a big provider resist setting up a network in this "major metropolitan area" which is already setup for high speed? Sure, I guess you won't get your old email address back, but what are you gonna do?

  5. interference question on Generate AM Radio Broadcasts With Your Monitor · · Score: 1
    Would this interfere with the AM broadcast I have coming from my braces? I'd hate to alienate all of my listeners.

  6. Supplemental Link on Concept PC 2001 · · Score: 1
    HERE is a link to a comparable article from Intel, since the main one got slashdotted.

  7. Re:100GB is only for double sided on Mega-DVDs -- 100GB Apiece · · Score: 1

    Also, I think that some double-sided dvds are already in existence.

    You are correct. Many DVD's have the letterboxed film on one side and the Pan-n-Scan on the other. Quite nifty, if you ask me.

  8. Re:Cost them money today on Anti Spam Bills Continue · · Score: 1
    Thanks for the heads up. I just spent a few minutes of my meaningless life reloading that page. I guess I could have used the script, but I think that would've put my life into a negative meaningfulness score, not unlike my karma.

  9. Re:Just use CloneCD on Coming Soon: Burn-Proof CDs · · Score: 1
    Exactly. And even analog wouldn't be that bad. I mean, are you really going to miss super sound quality from Charlie Pride? It's not like his music is super demanding for a high sample rate.

  10. What do you mean flawed code? on "War Rooms" Double Software Productivity · · Score: 3
    If you wonder why it's called a "war room", wait till they start debugging each others code. I've always said that there's no fighter like an overprotective programmer.

  13. 10 reasons to vote partisan (or straight ticket) on The Full Nader Plus a Taste of Bush and Gore · · Score: 1

    1. You don't care.
    2. You're too lazy to find out about the candidates.
    3. You never questioned the things your parents told you.
    4. You never question anything.
    5. You watch too much TV and are influenced easily.
    6. You have no identity.
    7. You have no original thought process.
    8. You're really in to "politics" instead of "government". (there's a difference)
    9. You're blind to the corruption of partisan politics.

    10. You have learned about the candidates and chosen to vote for each one individually and they all happened to be from the same party. (the only logical reason to bubble the straight ticket)

  15. Re:What exactly are you CHOOSING, and why? on The Full Nader Plus a Taste of Bush and Gore · · Score: 1
    You want to chop off your own arm, thats your business. A fetus is not a body part.

    and yes, I'm probably only messing with you since you can't find me.

    no I dont think it should be illegal

  16. How about a man's right to choose? on The Full Nader Plus a Taste of Bush and Gore · · Score: 1
    Disclaimer: The following is not flamebait, it's my opinion, satirical though it may be.

    Why don't I have the right to do whatever I want to someone else's body? I mean, if I want to kill another man on the streets, whose business is that but mine? If I choose to beat you up and take your money, why is that illegal?
    ---------------------------
    The preceding has obviously been sarcastic. If pro-choice people want to sell me on abortion, they are going to have to do a lot better than the "A woman has a right to do what she wants with her body" argument. The fact is, it's not her body, it's her baby's body. Don't say I'm wrong because I know that they use that little knife to chop somebody up, and it's not the mother. If a woman did that to her baby after it's out of her stomach, she would be put in jail.
    In closing, I do NOT think that making abortions legal would solve anything. But making them moral in my mind would take QUITE an argument (one that I obviously haven't heard yet).

  17. Necessary info on Shopping Online While Protecting Your Privacy? · · Score: 1
    What information do you think is fair for Web sites to posess on an individual

    I think that it is logical to say that they shouldn't be able to force you to give up any information that they couldn't get from you if you were at the store in person. So, credit card number, name, expiration date is all they really need. But that opens another can of worms. What information (besides the obvious billing address for confirmation) should they ask for to be sure that you are really you (and someone else isn't using your credit card)?

    All those features, but no pocket protector? What a ripoff! I don't think it's documented what happens to a P3 when it gets flooded with fountain pen ink. No way I buy one of those things until they get some kind of ink resevoir system in those pockets, no sir-ee.

  20. Re:Yes But, how do.... on The Virtual Tip Jar · · Score: 1
    I agree.

    If anyone thinks that the purpose of record companies is to make/distribute records, or Microsoft to make software, or Ford or GM to make cars, then they are sadly mistaken. If their purpose was to do this, then they would sell at cost.

    They are in business to make money. Products and services are just something they exploit en route to the ultimate goal of having a fat wallet.

    Perhaps more interesting is the fact that the server is apparently down at the moment. Coincidence... I think not!

  22. Re:Apple logo on What's Apple's Legal Basis For Blocking Cube Previews? · · Score: 1
    If you buy an Apple system you then have to go and buy another mouse or pay extra for it to come with a multiple button mouse. I know this. I think that Apple should start making multiple button mice standard on all models. I think it's stubborn not to do so.

    It seems to me that they might have the right to do this becuase they have patent rights for those products. You're right, though. It's pretty stupid to attack your own customers and fans (a la Metallica).
