"One look at Apple's FRONT page says it all."
That's http://www.apple.com/
I can't help it if the editors butcher my submissions. I had links to Apple.com, the iTunes Music Store, and the winning song in my submission, but they were cut.
I remember reading or hearing somewhere that new houses in tornado alley (in the US) have the house entrance doors built so that they swing outward. This is for when the tornados hit so that the pressure in the house can blow the doors open instead of the windows to equalize the pressure.
Here's what I do on Wednesdays when I TiVo Lost from 8 to 9:01 on ABC and King of Queens on CBS from 9:01 to 9:30... Record Lost normally. Selecting by title, channel, or time. Then do a manual recording by time to record from 9:05 until 9:30. In the properties of the manual recording, I can then choose to start recording 4 minutes earlier (at 9:01). This way, I record both shows with no conflict on only 2 minutes extra TiVoing.
The popular P2P programs will automatically strip that information from the file during/after the download from it's original, secondary, tertiary, etc, etc, owner? If the format offers a benefit over the original then someone will find a way to use it without the DRM.
From what I understand, the Red team kinda put this thing together quickly. Politics within CMU caused Mr. Whitaker to enter the competition and inspire (drive) his team. Congratulations to them. I know they put in a LOT of hard work.
Frankel was one of the first to create something real from his ideas (Gnutella, Waste, WinAmp), but these were Windows programs. We should also be thanking or acknowledging the people that added to/reverse engineered those programs so people on all platforms could use them (mldonkey, XMMS, and etc.)
That's a humbling and true statement. Allow me to refine my point:
One of the arguments of the war protesters in this country is that we should be worrying about the problems here instead of across the globe. The problems they create with stunts like I mentioned before, they are just adding to the turmoil they want to remedy. Very hypocritical.
I'm not saying the protesters aren't entitled to their opinions. I'm just angry that the "hax0rz" are creating so much more work for th IT folks who have nothing to do with this war. Rallies in public places are fine. Creating gridlock and giving police a hard time is bad. Some of these people have no clue what they're protesting against and are just part of a flock rebeling against anything they deem evil. When I see these college and highschool kids protesting by blocking streets during rush hour or monopolizing the police (taking them away from REAL crimes) I just wish I could make their lives more difficult with more homework or something. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but for cryin' out loud, don't make others miserable trying to drive your point home.
Mod this up. The movie wasn't that great, but the work/life balance of some of the "sell-out" programmers and the "garage start-up" kids I thought were pretty accurate.
If another nation gave us any grief, he'd insult their collective mothers, and send in the troops. The rest of the world would dislike the US even more than now. I guess the State of the Union Address would be a little more riveting than those that came before him in recent memory. "...oh, and there's one more thing..."
THANK YOU! Now I need to wait until November 20th for (hopefully) FreeBSD 5.0 release. That and the nVidia drivers should run well on my dual machine. I guess the petition worked.
Microsoft (and Apple) went head to head against Adobe back in the font wars. PostScript vs TrueType. Guess which font format professional printers still use? Adobe is still years ahead of anyone else in this arena. The "paperless office". PDF is pretty entrenched, so I'd be suprised if this "XDocs" technology takes off.
Sparks flew during the question-and-answer period that followed, which became a defining moment for Warnock and Adobe. Warnock, by then quite upset, pointedly ignored Gates. "Warnock sat with his back to Gates, which was not easy to do when both were facing the audience," Romano says.
In repsonse to a question, Gates again claimed that TrueType's quadratic splines were far superior to PostScript's Bezier curves and that a single font for both screen and printer would set a new standard for desktop publishing for years to come.
When asked to comment, an emotional Warnock called Gates's explanation "the biggest bunch of garbage and mumbo jumbo" he'd ever heard. It was raw and uncensored, but Warnock's heartfelt statement resonated with many. "It was the most dramatic moment in Adobe's history," says Romano. "Everything Warnock built could have fallen apart that day."
"I was proud when John said, 'That's a bunch of mumbo jumbo,'" says Steve MacDonald. "I said, 'Good, John. Your voice is cracking, but good for you.'"

Damn! You beat me to it. Wasn't the asteroid belt at one time a planet? I remember 5 grade science and there was an astronomer who mathematically predicted 10 planets before they were all discovered. Maybe he is still correct.
Apple is a company that only looks out for number one. It only cares about itself. Sometimes it works out negatively, other times it works out for the better (for us). I wouldn't cheer for Apple about this, but just be glad the company is as stubborn as it is. BTW, I'm a 10+ year Mac user and current Mac/PC admin, so I'm not a PC troll or Mac troll.

He's right. Us Pittsburghers have known about these windows for almost a year. Maybe longer. We know our glass and steel;).
I converted the full screen(640 x 272) QuickTime trailer into an 80MB MPEG2 and a 33MB DivX 5 file. The DivX 5 file is a meg smaller than the original QT file, with no loss in quality. I do, however, lack a place to throw either of these puppies. If you can spare some bandwidth, I'd be happy to send you the file(s) to post.

Being a Pittsburgher, I'm not that depressed Team USA lost the Gold. We at least got a medal. Besides, Mario Lemieux, a Pittsburgh Penguin, won his gold. I'm happy for a man that has done so much for the sport of hockey, and the city of Pittsburgh.
So now people will begin using OpenOffice. Why did Sun decide on this? It's stupid, let the OpenSource community do most of the work for you, and THEN charge for it; don't waste your own resources to do it. They will NOT make enough money to keep that project viable. They're trying to pull an Apple. Give them good software for free, only available on your OS, and they will come. Sun maybe had a shot at this before pulling the plug on Intel Solaris development. Not now. Apple is the only company that seems to get away with things like that.
The Rochester Institute of Technology (R.I.T.) has a "try" command that compiles, tests, runs, and submits a students coding assignments electronically. I believe the programs are then run through a big hash function to detect similarities between the submitted code and all other submitted code. I don't know how far back their data comparison goes, however.
I doubt very much that the weak and otherwise inactive freaks that read Slashdot all day could physically hurt anyone. They get their jollies from trolling/. all day and making others feel stupid. Get some lives please.

Come on guys. I happened to catch this on TechTV months ago as a ScreenSavers download of the day. How about some interesting stories?
