Based on what is written in this review I have my doubts if they are conforming to existing standards.
I can assure you that the device does conform to the AVC Tuner standards. I should know, I wrote the initial drivers for testing the hardware on Mac OS X (for EyeTV 300 though)...
Having to reenter a large formula just to change a constant is a pain with RPN.
That's why you should use variables on the HP48 for that kind of thing...
In school in electrical engineering, I had a huge set of formulas and constants stored in a directory on my HP48GX, all I had to do was to change a constant, then push the right formular onto the stack, press ->NUM once, and had my numeric result (even complex numbers) there, which would have taken at least two sheets of paper by hand.
If Apple are indeed using this filesystem for the iPod
Nope, they're using HFS Plus for the Mac version and FAT32 for the Windows version. (There's full read/write-support for both in Linux 2.6, does that mean they're GPL, too?;) )
If iTunes relies so heavily on OS X specific libraries then how do you explain the Windows version.
It was easy to port iTunes, because the original version uses the Carbon API, which was mostly ported to Windows a while ago (under the name "QuickTime").
Note that Apple has a Windows-port of Cocoa, too (called "Yellow Box", it's used by WebObjects).
I used to use SoundJam before iTunes was available, that app was just an mp3 engine with a playlist (and plugin support for visuals, etc). Comparable to mpg123, I'd say. That's not really what iTunes is about, iTunes is a music management app, which happens to be able to play them, too.
Growing quicker and bigger comes with a price. I'm sure those fish require more energy for living -- which isn't a real problem in those pens, but they won't live for long in the wild. Being bigger also means that you can be spotted quicker.
Of course, they might accidentally produce something that's dangerous to wild life, but the equation isn't *that* simple.
My first-gen iPod even survived three of those gravity/asphalt faults (one included a car driving over it -- no contact with the tires though), without any traces on the device.
Well, in this case, the iPod would have to scan the whole drive, up to 40GB, on each boot (yes, they actually boot), read all id3 tags, collect the data, guess which playlists you'd like to have (b/c those can't be stored in the tag) and invent some other information that isn't stored in the tags (like sound check data). Good idea, right?
SQLite is an open source (even public domain!) personal SQL-capable database. It lacks some features (like types other than strings and some SQL commands), but it's very useful for embedded databases.
In my country, the price you estimated isn't far off (it's about EUR1/liter), and people still go by car, the automotive industry is alive and well, the roads are ok. There's a great public transportation system (it takes 10 mins from my home to the center of the city, about 20-30 mins when you go by car). The farmers are actually financially supported by the EU, especially the poorer regions.
So, where's the problem?
The state exists to take care about its citizens, not the industry. If nobody provides those things (which is the case in most parts of the USA), the state has to do it. That's the main idea behind socialism.
There are some things private industry can't provide.
[socialist principles] are still useful in certain niches, especially those where public policy dictates that it is more useful to optimize for some other factor than maximum efficiency.
Factors like...uh...a working public transportation system, mandatory social security, healthly citizens, environment protection, outstanding public schools, cheap or free university for everybody, etc etc etc
Once your download completes, any further uploads you permit before closing the dialog is pure charity
Not really. The more you upload, the faster it'll be for others, the more people will use it again next time, the faster will be your download next time.
5 minutes to go to the sun and back? That's more than twice the light speed, wow.

Uhm... when physics wouldn't encourage our kind of life, there wouldn't be anybody of that kind here to think about that stuff, so your argument proofs right about nothing.

If the program runs locally on your computer, it doesn't matter if you're using GET, POST or HTTPS.
no, XML is a subset of SGML.

VPC runs partly as root, for the virtual switch feature. It actually asks for the administrator password on first launch.
"Contact Us" doesn't work in Camino either. Great work!

You can get an unlimited world license (see Royalty Rates).

But those aren't really important, right?
FireWireDepot has a few of them.
