Hmmm... Now I wanna listen to them to see what I think.
The question is, do I want to enough to either fire up my presently offline server or wander across the room and dig through a pile of disks? I suspect laziness will prevail on both counts.
A lot of artists, like Stuart Davis have been selling high quality MP3s à la carte for song time. Most of Stuart's are ripped using LAME --alt-preset extreme, now --preset extreme, for even higher quality than TMBG's CBR rips. And, Stuart even offers free songs.
What I would truly love would be iPod support for Ogg Speex. I download quite a few audio lectures/interviews, and if the iPod supported Speex, I'd buy one ASAP and go on a campaign to get a few organizations I deal with to put their stuff out in Speex, not just mp3 and wma. For that matter, I'd love to be able to encode my audio books in Speex and have then on the go.
I have yet to see really detailed coverage maps for cellular provided by the providers themselves; in cities especially a one-block difference can mean 3 bars of reception or none.
You likely never will. Before getting fed up with the IT industry, especially the corporate IT industry, I was a technical manager at AT&T Wireless. My team worked on a GIS project to show coverage data, among other things. We wanted to use the actual coverage information which would have shown gaps in the coverage and everything, but the legal department wouldn't allow it. Instead of actual RF propagation data, we wound up using hand drawn approximations, then forbidding the user from zooming in to a level of detail that they could hold us accountable for the accuracy of the maps on a local level. Because Engineering already had the data in a compatible format, it would have actually been easier to use the true data... Oh well...:-)
Most of our IT intern positions I've seen are for coders, but I'm sure we have Unix positions, too. We're historically an HP/UX shop, but Solaris is quickly overtaking it.
Yep, I've got a Plam Vx with a CDPD modem. I didn't buy it through OmniSky, so I don't have the app for PQA support... The 'light' version of/. comes through okay with Avantgo or EudoraWeb, though. Anyone know if there's a free/open app for PQA support on non-Palm VIIs?

Don't get me wrong, I love TMBG...
But what makes this newsworthy?

iPod support for Vorbis would be cool.

No Linux. Officially, that is...
