Don't most Internet-Radio stations make no profit? You'd think artists would be thrilled to get the publicity. If they do make a profit off of the songs themselves, then pay them. But I don't think that is the case. Even traditional stations have to use paid advertising. Right?
Royalties for broadcasting over public airwaves, or on the Internet are a really dumb idea. The artist already got paid with the CD sale. The artist gets 'free' advertising.
Go on tour and make your money. Use CDs as promotional material.
After a day flying down the slopes or railing through twisty, rocky singletrack, I think I'd be much more prone to 'risky driving' than after playing some video game that does nothing to put you in the element. After a day of *actually* dealing with speed and dangerous conditions on much less stable 'vehicles' you tend to be a bit more confident on a relatively tame road.
And the WRX really does need to be properly driven every now and then;-)
Maybe if the game commission hadn't kicked all user groups but hunters out of the gamelands (which comprise the majority of forests in the state), they'd have a stronger group dedicated to keeping that kind of stuff from happening.
I'm sorry, but I've never in all of my years browsing websites and newsgroups simply 'stumbled' across online porn.
And as far as seeking it out, at least google and such have 'family filters' which actually seem to work pretty well, along with there being personal proxying products that you can use as well. Not that that is a perfect solution, but there *are* already solutions out there for parents/etc who feel the need to block things they don't want their children or themselves to see.
If they must have something (not that I agree), a.kids would make more sense. Then parents can configure their home proxy to only allow traffic to *that* domain. But, based on crap I see like religious shows on tv having a 'G' rating (WHAT? If anything requires parental guidance...), this would not work either. Maybe require a license to have and keep a.kids TLD or something.
When my dad bought a new computer, he asked me about buying Microsoft office (or pirating a copy). Instead, I set up OOo for him. He's really happy with it. Open Office shines even better when you aren't using it only to view Microsoft Word docs, but rather authoring from it directly.
He thanked me and notified me that he loves OO, and has no need to use Microsoft Office.
For me, the killer app in open office is OODraw. I've used this for creating cards at christmas, and most recently to create a CD Label template. I *tried* to use the crap you can download from Avery, but it was horrible! The OODraw template works exactly as I want it to. Microsoft Office doesn't have anything equivalent (although they do have visio). OOo's only real missing pieces are something like visio (Shouldn't be hard if they start with the OODraw engine?), and some project management software like Microsoft Project.
Give Sylpheed a look if you are looking for a nice MUA (there's even a windoze port, and I use that one as a portable app from my USB keydisk). I use it here with IMAP to my home courier server, and also use it with standard mbox on some systems at work. I'm sure it works just fine as a pop (people still use pop??) client too.
www.eztaxreturn.com is good too. In fact, earn me some money and use my code if you use it to file (you'll get a discount too): http://www.eztaxreturn.com/ezcash, use ER1141 as the coupon code.
Google maps is already a great way to find information about local businesses. Hopefully they won't add too much stuff, making the service less useful with clutter.
How many company infrastructures have you had to merge? How about something relatively simple like connecting business partners over a VPN who happen to have the same RFC1918 configuration as you?
NAT is a hack. A decent hack, but addresses should be unique, and the fact that they are not is holding back a lot of the useful things that could be done on the Internet.
And any home users using NAT are using a hardware firewall appliance already. So the "they won't understand how to firewall IPV6" argument is moot, since they don't today either.
In fact, it's even easier. Instead of "Allow this traffic to/from this device, and OBTW, you need to also define a special NAT rule", you get just the first part.
Don't get me started on the fun currently involved with connecting business partners to a corporate network via IPSec. The best way to do this today is to NAT public address space inside the tunnel, so you are sure to not be overwriting each other's RFC1918. For small companies that don't have their own to spare, we set aside a range of our own. IPV6 solves this particular problem as well. No two networks will have the same address space. I know how to do it with NAT. The problem arises when dealing with the not-as-clueful firewall admin on the remote side, who is working for a smaller company and doesn't really understand how all the IPSec stuff works (and see above about small companies not having 'real' address allocation)
If Google were to do an appliance for this, it'd be much easier to manage for, say, a 50,000 employee company than having to maintain applications on every workstation, for starters. Bonus, you can now use a linux 'smart client' as the workstation, getting you away from licensing costs and even more management costs. Even at my most recent job, most people spend most of their time using: 1) email. 2) web-based databases. Getting rid of the need to use word processors and spreadsheets locally is a good thing in terms of IT resource management, security, and cost.
This isn't going to work as well for your mom and pop shops (which, unfortunately are the way many *large* businesses are also run). But for the enterprise, it's a good way to go.
Definitely. If Google started selling application appliances. Wow. Not only do you get the ease of central management, but if Google does it like they do everything else, it'd be easily scalable. I'd imagine the answer to "We need more processing power / Disk space" would be to add another appliance or so, and make a single config change. This is really exciting stuff, if it evolves to that point.
Well, this article kind of illustrates that exact problem. Rather than spend the money on teacher salaries (incentive for good teachers to work in the field), or even textbooks, many schools are throwing money at computers and such, which IMNSHO add nothing to basic education. Where is the outrage in that?
Test it with 'zdump -v/etc/localtime | grep 2007'. You should see something like this:
/etc/localtime Sun Mar 11 06:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000 /etc/localtime Sun Mar 11 07:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400 /etc/localtime Sun Nov 4 05:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:59:59 2007 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400 /etc/localtime Sun Nov 4 06:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:00:00 2007 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000
Not entirely joking. I use embedded perl for my own dynamic sites, and keep track of the lists, and can't recall any serious known flaws with that implementation.
The vulnerabilities that keep popping up (and the fact that I already know and am comfortable with perl, have CPAN, can develop quickly especially now that I have my own base modules set up, etc) are one reason that I never really looked into PHP.
Color Laser printers are the way to go. If you need to print pictures, it's pretty cost effective to get them done at wal-mart, or any other online photo processing shop instead. But for everything else, you're going to pay a heck of a lot more for ink (which doesn't last very long in storage in the printer either).
I recently bought a Laserjet 2605dn for $400 and am very happy. Built in networking, duplexing, postscript, and a perfectly working ppd file for cups. Oh yeah. No ink smearing or special paper required either. Good stuff. It's pretty quick, too, even when waking up from powersave.
My g/f just spent another $100 for a couple of color cartridges for her inkjet, and is becoming more jealous each time she does that. Even with the 'starter' toners I got with the printer, I still have over 1500 pages to go on my lowest cartridge.

Yeah, really.
This is sensationalist.
Gosh, I was fired from my job while still not allowed to drive for a few more weeks due to surgery. Call the presses!

Good point. I wasn't thinking of the typo-squatting.

We're wired for that. Talking on a phone or playing with the controls on a device are different.
How do you think Microsoft became so prominent in the first place?
Yup!
When my dad bought a new computer, he asked me about buying Microsoft office (or pirating a copy). Instead, I set up OOo for him. He's really happy with it. Open Office shines even better when you aren't using it only to view Microsoft Word docs, but rather authoring from it directly.

NAT is a hack. A decent hack, but addresses should be unique, and the fact that they are not is holding back a lot of the useful things that could be done on the Internet.
What, exactly, does NAT have to do with any of that?
NAT != firewall.

The difference being that google actually does innovate rather than abuse a monoply position to force competition out of business.
Definitely. If Google started selling application appliances. Wow. Not only do you get the ease of central management, but if Google does it like they do everything else, it'd be easily scalable.

Modern distros, I assume, can be updated with a new package.
I have some old redhat boxen, and my desktop is still Mandrake 10.2. So I had to do it manually.
It's this simple:

Use perl instead :)
Not entirely joking. I use embedded perl for my own dynamic sites, and keep track of the lists, and can't recall any serious known flaws with that implementation.
