Artists aren't seeing penny one from allofmp3. not even the 2 cents of wich you speak. Its basically piracy, but because Russia is... well Russia the laws only cover physical copying.
Some interesting screenshots (on a big screen) You have to click the next button to see all of them
Much more robust than iphoto. Seems to allow more adjustments, and organization and albums, and raw conversion. It seems more photographer oriented than photoshop
Its pretty clear that intel is sliding in the x86 race. The reason has to do with development cycles and all the work and money Intel spent on that risky itanium venture. Itanium diverted R&D funds from x86 and when Itanium failed in the market place, intel wasn't working hard enough on x86 and fell behind.
The next generation of chips may be different. Competetion is good.
I'm pretty chip agnostic, although a while back I had an cyrix 486 chip in a notebook and didn't even know it wasn't an intel.
Bob Lutz, while not the CEO of GM is pretty high up and is pretty much there last hope as a company. He started keeping a blog and reads responses (similar to email). During an interview he likes it because it puts him in touch with people he'd never hear from. Gets him out of his management world view bubble so he says. He sees from product announcement 1) some people hate GMs products alway 2) somepeople alway like the products 3) some people give generally great insight into things. Lots of auto journalist read his thing looking for hints and clues about future products.
Of course he didn't comment on this thread at all, but I find it interesting.
Oddly musicians have to pay for there recording sessions (a fixed cost usually fronted by the studios). If the musicians wrote there own music they get the publishing royalties as well.
Its not a great deal for musicians, but the publicity spending (payola?) is why most musicians fall over themselves to get a recording contract.
Who cares if the screen scratches, get a case or one of the plastic polishes.
The greater concern with devices of this type is the drop on pavement, gym floor test. The ipod acording to the ars-digita review is super durable and very hard to break, a much more important metric than how scratchable it is.
I hadn't installed linux in 2 years. bought a copy of mandrake (now some othername) had it installed and full "LAMP" configuration within 3 hours, including many custom network configurations. Its been a stable server for me ever since. We installed on a machine at work within a day (and these are hpux/solaris admins who hadn't used linux before)
Generally Unix/linux is slightly harder to admin than Windows, but not that significantly. Your admins need to be pretty good though and thats the key. The one linux failing in making admin easy is the different tools each vendor ships (YAST for Suse, Red hat has another tool, Mandrake yet another). If it was more common across linuxes administrating would be easer. Difficulty is one of the prices of choice, as there is less documentation for each choice.
I know SAP implimentations take years of planning from experience (I had a database of my creation compared with SAP, SAP had everything and the kitchen sink, but mine was faster to install, easier to use and cheaper by about over 1000x and was used till SAP was finaly implimented 2 years later)
paul and storm (singing group) have a funny blog. "Because What We Think Is Important Enough To Publish". Its mainly to support there musical efforts with food and tv reviews..
See people, its easy to save money, just buy the parts plus a sodering iron and get to work. At the estimated 4 dollars to assemble, I estimate it will take a novice about an hour.
Seriously though, ipods don't seem significantly more expensive than the competetion and companies are exiting the market (RIO), so I'd expect margins aren't as high as this estimate. Apple usually gets around 20-30% margins based on SEC filings.
I run a shell in emacs (esc-x shell). It works great for searching through reams of command line job output and is slightly easier the piping to a file then searching through it (less, more etc...)
Its better than xterm -sl XYZ (set scroll lines to XYZ)
By as someone who's done some surveying it (which uses angles and distance), its easy to see why people use angles and distance. They are fairly easy to measure, so usefull for plans etc..
Replacing angles and distance with abstract quadrance and spread is exchanging one difficult thing (tan,cos,sin) for another (quad, spread)
Apple defeate patent on color matching. Granted this was in 2000, but they have good laywers. Of course I think the lawsuit was for 1 billion dollars, so it actually had a negative effect on the shareprice of apple. Software patents are getting out of hand. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2000/01/25/apple_defe ats_colorsync_patent_violation/
Companies and most consumers do not enjoy the multitude of desktop choices the linux provides. It was predicted years ago in the KDE/GNOME world that one would emerge clearly superior to the other and the other would disapear. This hasn't happened.
Clearly linux on the desktop for the general population would be better served putting all the effort into one consistant desktop. It would not please all the tweakers who like to configure every little thing. Sure KDE/GNOMR are similar, but not the same.
There are some that would argue that linux isn't for the masses and should require some knowledge/research . I would note that the more copies of linux that are out there, the more each one is worth, as it becomes more likely software you want will be ported to the platform
Although most of time getting stuff for free is the goal. In this case, its fans wanting to see the new show in the first case. In this case the pirates or a good percentage of them would probably pay to buy the video/dvd etc.. I could be wrong but some of that BBC stuff isn't even available in the states, forcing die-hard fans into pirating.
Piracy for movies and songs that have been around in the market for a while, is all about getting it for free. These folks probably wouldn't pay no matter what.
There is talk about releasing dvds at the same time as movies in theaters. Seeing as a DVD costs about as much as 2 tickets, I think it might help with group 1, but not with the "i'm never going to pay" group.
The parent alludes to it, but basically private weather companies (many in PA) are trying to shut off government competetion. Because weather.gov is so good and ad free, people prefer to use it. The privates have reacted by making there sites cleaner, but its still not as good. To stop government form releasing weather data the companies are pushing a bill in the senate sponsored by rep santorum (google news search for accuweather and santorum one story: this is one of many stories about this.
Basically because our tax dollars pay for the weather service we should be able to get this information. Interesting to note the in the UK the BBC is running into similar problems (its government sponsored as well)
I find very little use for objects when I write Php. (except the very nice "smarty template" engine)
I don't know why, because I program with objects all day at work, but for web design, they don't stick around between page loads (unless I'm missing something, Ajax et all). I use sessions all the time though. I find procedural stuff much snappier than recreating the class each time.

Just pirate it if your not going to support the artist. That way your supporting criminals as well

Bandwidth that could be used for good bit torrent usage, like downloading linux ISOs and video casts. I'm assuming HBO is mucking about with those.
Funny how that works..

You need to know nothing. I never watched "firefly" and I got it. It takes a little bit to come together but it does.

But all parodies aside, blogs should be about something, not just narsicistic ramblings.
http://auotoblog.com/ is quite good, especially during car shows.
He won! Yeah! A vague press release. This is the internet, least google could do is host the winning projects and post them online..

Its better than xterm -sl XYZ (set scroll lines to XYZ)
ahh Sin= Op/Hyp
Cos = Adj/Hyp
Tan = Op/adjacent.
By as someone who's done some surveying it (which uses angles and distance), its easy to see why people use angles and distance. They are fairly easy to measure, so usefull for plans etc..
Replacing angles and distance with abstract quadrance and spread is exchanging one difficult thing (tan,cos,sin) for another (quad, spread)
Quandrance = distance ^2
Spread hard to see.
Like Bungie and connectix, who get bought out and product lines are trashed.
Nearly all do, IBM, MS, HP, APPLE, Creative, Intel AMD..
Most of the time its defensive, company 1 sues company 2. Company 2 counter sues. Negotiaion and a cross patent agreement is hammered out.
The laywers win! (they always do)

A usb headset/handset and a xbox application+ high speed internet and ta-da, instant internet phone..
I probably shouldn't give them any of my good ideas... Quick to the patent office!

this is like stopping a flood. And the OS isn't even out officially yet.
This is correct - squinting = reducing apeture, this is why most people see better in bright light (outdoors) than in doors.
