Seems they have some serious resources problems with the infamous Slashdot effect:)
Without going into the legal details and financial aspects, what are the technical leverages that Liquid Audio claims to offer vs. free competitors such as Ogg Vorbis.
Slackware has had a rescue root disk for as long as I can remember (somewhere ~1995 possibly). It provided most rescue tools that you needed on a single floppy.
I still occasionnally download a boot+rescue root disk to repair a screwed-up system that fails to boot, even when said machine isn't running Slack.
What your comment made me think of, are all those CD-ROM outlets in singapore where you choose whatever is on display on a table outside, such as really cool software compilations. A tthe counter, the guy will either bring the media from behind the counter, or insert a couple of blanks into a tower and ask you to wait 3 minutes while they are made for you.
I guess the waiting will now be in the area of 2 minutes, and best of all, the price won't probably change either !
(before anyone asks: no I'm not buying anything from there and I don't live in singapore either, but yes I could see with my eyes what I describe when I went there; it's right in the open, and no-one there seems to care).
DVD:s are a lot cheaper in the US than in Europe. They also tend to have better picture quality.
I agree with the cheap part, however I believe that DVD's from various regions are encoded differently (either in PAL or in NTSC) depending which standard is in your region.
Getting a Region 1 DVD to play on a PAL system gives you a NTSC-to-PAL signal degradation, so you actually get reduced quality: NTSC's poor image resolution to start with, combined with PAL's lower frame rate.
Likewise, people playing a R2 DVD on a NTSC system get a degraded PAL to NTSC picture with missing frames.
Bottom line: try to get a DVD in your local region when possible, or at least make sure you get a NTSC/NTSC or PAL/PAL combination for optimal picture quality.
..."Shut up and get up," he said. "Nobody is going to take you to jail if you put your phone on vibrate. Get your ass out of the seat and go to the lobby (to take the call). How complicated is that?"
The above quote from the aricle summarizes perfectly my view, and I'm sure, most other readers' !
I'm in favor of the bill if it can enforce what should be basic common sense, yet seems to be lacking to a (increasingly large) number of people.
If you want to live in the past, why do you want everyone to suffer with you?
You're missing the point here. NS4 is just the *standard* installed browser on every PC and workstation through the company, and we don't really have the choice here (we're mostly a Unix shop).
True they could deploy Moz or NS6, however the sysadmins haven't done so, probably for reasons other than 'Does this website renders well'...
I'm using NS4 myself on a daily basis, since it's the standard browser installed through the company (30,000+ employees), and it's doing just fine.
Occasionnally we come accross a site which doesn't render properly (such as when the </table> tag is missing), but as someone said before, you just move right along and go surf somewhere else.
Have we broken the 2GB [or whatever] file size limitation yet ? I wonder how can one realistically want to store huge files on a modern Linux filesystem. I'm not up-to-date with the latest advances in this area, does anyone have more info ?
I towed a 300kg boat on its trailor for over 1000km a couple months ago with my Renault Espace (yup, french car) and it did 6.5 l/100km, that's about 36.5 miles per gallon, driving 100km/h on the highway.
We hardly felt that we were towing... Not too bad a mileage. I haven't got anything heavier to tow so I don't know how it would perform otherwise. But for lightweight trailors it's a damn fine car.
A 4 x 4 suv fitted with proper tires would probably not have had any problems in heavy snow. But the ones you describe don't seem to be this kind...
I'd love to drive a hum-vee but never actually have. I know there are some places out there which can rent them to you for a day or an afternoon, however that's well over my budget for fun.
While other broadband providers are limiting their download speeds or cracking down on so-called bandwidth hogs, we've been working to give our customers even faster speeds at a terrific value.
Way to go, RCN! And take this, ATT, Comcast;)
The inaccuracy was free of charge. It's only free for customers paying the Gold and Platinum ResiLink packages. For all other bundles, there is a price increase between $10 to $25 for the 3Mbits service.
Ironically, what you suggest is called the Universal Transverse Mercator grid, it's already build into all decent GPS models and yes it's based on Metrics.
No one seems to care.... All I am seeing since this morning, are the usual moronic news. I don't even know what I'm waiting for while reloading the front page since this morning;-(
And in the meantime, great submissions (imho) like this one are deleted.

I bet they're just jealous :>

For great justice !
Fair comment regarding greed. It isn't for nothing that greed is a capital sin.....

Joke apart, I routinely need files over 4 GB in size when doing video editing of DV files; 2 or 4 GB for maximum file size is a disaster for me :(
Thx for the updated info on ReiserFS; that's interesting to know where we're going :)

Perhaps you should read this once more, and think again who's the fucking moron.

Go figure.
You could still go down to your local drug store and buy there :)
Will it involve every weapon systems know to man, ala Blade II?
