A good study would be *why*. It's likely that your brain has to work harder to decipher a cell phone conversation than a conversation with the person beside you. We aren't wired for it through evolution. Music in the background likely doesn't affect you as you aren't actually participating in that on the same level as a conversation.
In a word. No.
I DID go to school for aerospace engineering. I currently work as a network security analyst. I don't call myself an engineer for the computer and networking work that I do.
Unless you are a EE or Compeng...you are no engineer. Sorry.
Or, simply not derive pleasure from someone's work without due compensation.
That is what live shows are for. CDs should not be the big moneymaker. Charge for them what it costs to make them, maybe a little more. Sell them for $5 a piece at a cd release party show. Etc.
I don't see any local bands freaking out because people enjoy their music and share it. They love it, b/c it gets people to their shows, and lets those people enjoy their art.
If you suck, you have no right for huge profit simply because you might have gotten just one good song on your CD of 15-20. That same song already having been played to death on the radio so that you don't want to listen to it anyway.
The CD should be the promotion of your work. You think the RIAA compensates their indentured servants...er...artists properly with CD sales?
And it would be very cool to be able to re-write its interface and song ordering, since they don't quite fit what I want as they are.
Would moving to rockbox allow this to happen? If so, this is great news!
*shhhh. We don't need the RIAA catching wind of THAT.
On days I am going to the gym, I use streamripper to grab an hour of music and dump it to my sansa. Beats recycling my own tired collection, and its music I really would only listen to once anyway, so why would I buy it?
Add to all of that the fact that you don't need to rely on control and escape sequences, so even with a borked keymap on a foreign system, you can still edit a file to fix things!
You just hit on one of the many reasons for OS/2's demise. If you can run the other OS's software 'good enough' on your own, there is no incentive for developers to write native, or even better, portable code for your platform.
It can't be a sport if you can wear your office clothes to do it:) I guess golf is pretty hardcore, though. You get to wear spiked shoes. No thanks, I'll stick to the bikes and snowboard (real have/have not sports! Don't get me started on what skydiving costs...)
Yeah. Google could easily pick up where i-opener (or whatever it was called) failed. Just sell a broadband internet appliance and charge for a monthly service. They have the pieces in place, thy just need to contract with a hardware vendor.
It's sad that none of this arms race would even be necessary if advertisements stuck to a banner at the top of the page, no animation (you know, like back in 1994-1995). Heck, I may have even clicked on a few interesting ones. There certainly wouldn't have been a great reason to go through all of the trouble of blocking them if they hadn't become so annoying.
Mail to AOL from my mail servers just started bouncing again yesterday. The time is coming closer to tell my list members that if they are using AOL for email, they need to find another way if they want to use my lists.
Indeed. Before it was stolen out of my car, I ran Mandrake 10.2 on an old toshiba libretto. It ran firefox, wireless, xine, xmms, kismet, etc just fine. Hibernation from the bios even worked (just span that section of hard drive with a LVM). The only thing I needed to do was to stop the automatic file ownership changes on login, and tweak a couple of init scripts. Windowmaker as a window manager with a whole bunch of hot-keys defined. The box ran beautifully, and was the perfect size to use in the car as a portable jukebox. When in hotels and such, it functioned as a little firewall for my other laptop. I miss it:(
Uh huh. While potentially possible, I don't think it would be an easy feat to teach yourself computational fluid dynamics or all of the other stuff in the aerospace field. As with all education, the quality of the instructors makes quite a difference. I certainly am glad I had help getting started in linux. I could have figured it all out on my own, eventually. But having someone point me in the right direction was a good thing.
A friend of mine and I are thinking of starting a postini-like business for reliable mail filtering (We've learned a lot about how to do this administering the sendmail infrastructure for a large global company:). A logical set of first companies would be ISPs. They can offset their cost by making it an option users could pay for. They would have control over filtering settings, and for ISPs, users who get forwarded to our anti-spam relays.
So...the execs want to push a product back to 'get it right', but the employees themselves now wish to just throw it into production, quality be damned (not that there ever really is much quality in m$ crap). Microsoft truly is a marketing company and not a technology company.
I don't have children, but have friends who do. Your story sounds exactly like a story a friend told me. He is a cycling coach. The neighbor kid (not his own) came over to talk to him one day and told him that the school bully was forcing him to fight. Small guy, but john knew he was strong because he had been coaching him. He instructed the kid to ball up his fist as soon as the bully approached, and hit him in the jaw as hard as he could. He did this. Laid the bully out. He gets bullied no more. Another case of the school authorities allowing school bullies to have their way and forcing kids to defend themselves.
I always had a problem with that explanation. It depends on gravity to define gravity. The ball attracts other balls because the force that attracts other balls pulls the ball down.
I'm not asking to be a dick, I'm truly ignorant on this. But does postfix have miltering type things? Is there a version of mimedefang milter for it? How about milter-greylist? Those are MUST HAVES in any mail environment that I administer.
For any system that sends alerts via email(ie, it's not acting as a mail relay), you likely want to run a local sendmail in case there is any problem sending to your real MTAs so that those alerts are queued rather than lost. This includes windows servers.

I don't think 'hilarious' is the right word.

Yeah. Me too. That's why I race mountain bikes and only train on the pavement :)
I concur. There is no reason to have more than 1 golf course in any area either. Friggin' waste of land. I'd rather have the trees and nice trails.
Yeah. Google could easily pick up where i-opener (or whatever it was called) failed. Just sell a broadband internet appliance and charge for a monthly service. They have the pieces in place, thy just need to contract with a hardware vendor.

You missed the credit to Bill Watterson (or even to calvin) with your quote.

Seems like it uses a popup, which is blocked by MSIE by default. Makes me feel a little better about not having send yet another alert down the chain.
