I use a particular script written in PHP and uses session variables. Sessions are saved to/tmp. From what I gather, this is a PHP server setting. Godaddy clears/tmp approximately every 10 minutes. This makes it very difficult to remain logged into Brim throughout the work day. I use Brim for online bookmarks, and having to loggin several times a day is a pain.
I have written Godaddy about this problem and asked them to either allow me to save sessions to a user defined place or change the time/tmp is cleared to once every 30-60 minutes. They said no.
I am looking for someone selling an Xbox 360 box like sellers did with the original. In the frenzy of buying, buyers didn't realize that they were buying the packaging material only.
I believe in the literal translation of the Bible. I believe that the Bible is God's words (penned by men who were moved by the Holy Spirit) and thus must be followed because it is what God wants for us.
If we say that it is open to interpretation because it only has some nice stories, then what parts do we follow and what parts are just there as example? This leaves a wide door open for man's imperfect interjection of man's own beliefs.
For me, I have faith in the Bible because (by faith) I have chosen to believe it is God's literal word. As such, I will follow its teachings the best I can. However, if I believed that the Bible had man's interpretation in it, then I would view it as any other book. For me it's all or nothing.
BTW, this doesn't forbid me from learning and understanding the theory of evolution. I commend your school for teaching both in their respective classes. As many people here on/. has said - keep science in science class and religion in a theology class. Teach students boths sides then let them decide what to believe in.
Basically, most electronic products shipped to Europe and operating under 1000V (military and medical products except for now) must not contain 6 restricted substances. One of the biggest is lead. There is a large push in many electronic industries to convert their electronic products to RoHS compliant products. It's a lot of work.
Sony and Nintendo have to do this too if they want to sell their units to Europe. From a general industry trend, Japan tends to be ahead of the game compared to US companies in terms of RoHS preparedness.
Eventually most of the entire world will have this type of legislation.
I think that he's talking about hardware vs. software. But I agree, crappy review. I think that he already has a bias towards PPC. Note how he comes to the rescue with workarounds for several of the PPC's disadvantages but doesn't do it for Palms.
So how easy is it to input data/type via a virtual keyboard? I would think that it's slower than using a touchscreen interface with a virtual keyboard (PPC).
I can understand that one's personal music taste changes, but your post makes it seem like Beethoven's 9th is something of a bygone era (musically speaking). Someone else mentioned that Beethoven's music evolved as he became more mature (again, compared to his 9th). I don't think that one can classify his 9th as immature, annoying, etc.
His 9th symphony was composed at the end of his life. I can understand perhaps calling his early symphonies "immature" but his later ones were works of an original, genius mind.
The 9th symphony was the first symphony to add singers in a symphony. I have heard some people refer to it as a work that helped start the Romantic period. Finally, Mahler spent his entire life trying to immitate the "greatness" of Beethoven's 9th. Whether he succeeded or not is a matter of interpretation.
Will this device suffice? It turns any USB flash drive into an MP3 player for your car. It should have *slightly* better quality than your cassette adapter.
I would think that any two computing devices wanting to communicate do so in the manner described in the patent. In checking out slashdot, your browser is in the "I want to connect" state. Then slashdot's servers go into a "you can connect to me" state or times out. This is how the patent reads but they describe a wireless system. IANAL, but I think it sounds rather trivial.
Patent 6,865,371. It's extremly generic. It basically describes a state machine for a wireless network. Put a wireless link for RS232 and you voilate this patent.
I'm a PC gamer mainly. There are some XBox games that I like but I bought the XBox only because of the ability to act as a media device using XBox Media Center (which needs a modded XBox). Without XBMC I would not have bought an XBox. I bet that there are many people that share the same views as I do.
OK, take my damn geek card. Talking about a video game where you get to do these things instead of trying to it ourselves is where I get off the geek train.
"Legal" music in this context means music that the content provider is intentionally using P2P as a distribution medium.
Second, the wording of the article isn't great. I think there is supposed to be a disconnect between the A and B point. In defense of the article author, they mention that there isn't a lot of detail mentioned. It seems that, first, it finds illegal music, flags this as illegal, and stops sharing it. Then it starts sharing out music that the music distributors want distributed over P2P.
I've heard that babies create neural interconnections at a faster rate than at anytime in their lives. I've seen on TV how a damaged brain repairs itself at a faster rate for babies than for older people (actually, they intentionally damaged animal brains and watched the rate of re-connection - fascinating stuff).
Since the brain is a neural network that forms interconnections based on patterns, this may explain why they are able to pick up patterns faster.
Don't have a lot of time on my hands, but I found this article. It references this passage:
Genesis 1:29-30 And God said, "See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food"; and it was so.
All creatures were vegetarians in the garden of Eden.
Then see section Ten (Roman numerals) from this article.
Couple final items: 1) Genesis mentions that animals produced "after their kind" several times. Therefore, the Bible specifically says Evolution cannot occur.
2) If you ever get a chance to hear Ken Ham on his "Answers in Genesis" series - don't miss it.
Evolution and creation cannot co-exist. Here is why: Evolution implies death - the weaker/inferior species die out and the better ones remain. Acording to scripture, death was not present on Earth until Adam sinned - which is after creation.
I know the parent is meant for sarcasm, however is it still stealing if I download shows from the Internet for archival purposes when I have:
- am a TW digital cable subscriber - only downloading shows I actaully receive. - Tivo my shows - Have a VCR to archive. - Have a analog TV to firewire device bridge that I can use to cap my analog feeds.
Since the US Supreme court has upheld that time shifting is OK, I can legally archive programs that I pay for and receive in my home. However, I find it more convenient to simply download shows instead of doing the work myself. Am I still a pirate?
This questions seems more a rhetorical question whose answer varies depending on who you ask. Anyone have any legal backing?
I remember once hearing a story of some guy paying his alimony by making a check out of his shirt (i.e., "and the shirt on my back"). The bank cashed it. Can't find it on Google so it may not be true though.

Anyone find such an auction for the 360?

Summary of RoHS legislation from Farnell.
Basically, most electronic products shipped to Europe and operating under 1000V (military and medical products except for now) must not contain 6 restricted substances. One of the biggest is lead. There is a large push in many electronic industries to convert their electronic products to RoHS compliant products. It's a lot of work.

Have you tried newzbin or audiofind?
I use Booby for online bookmarks. It requires PHP and one MySQL database. I have access to my bookmarks regardless of what computer I'm on.
Can I get an invite too? Thx.

Well, sometimes, they can be rather crazy.

You assume there are 4 million fans. If you count only fans then each they would have to donate closer to something like $40 million.
Although your 10X initial cost is little high... Don't forget about the cost of electricity. A PC will consume alot more than a Tivo box.
