i assume that most readers of slashdot recognize the value in the concept of having an internet business, and that many of the dot-coms were ahead of their time -- beyond the visible spectrum for most americans.
it is therefore nice to see a pure internet business pulling ahead. i am tired of ignorant, 60-year-old pundits claiming that the internet experiment failed. it is inevitable, and this is yet another small step in that direction.

Non-MP3 Codecs?

i use a non-lossy format known as the Audio Interchange File Format, or AIFF, to store my audio files. They can be burned to CDs very easily -- you can't fit as many on one CD as MP3, but the CDs will play in every CD player I've come across, and the sound is CD-quality.
the appeal of the movie was not to nerds, ala star wars, but to people who had read the book, which applies to a vast number of americans.
that said, i found the movie disappointing, not having read the book(s). the lack of resolution, while perhaps expected by those who had read it, left me a bit bewildered. if movies are going to be made in such a way, the next movie should come out sooner than a year later. it seems to be deliberately done to try for an unprecendented triple best picture oscar sweep.
i appreciate that the link directly from the summary is only to the pdf. apparently, timothy had to decide between the closed-source microsoft word format and the closed-source pdf to link to, and choose in favor of the company with fewer egregious evil acts.
i am truly at a loss as to why one would install gnome over os x. i understand the issue of an os being open-source, etc., but you can pick up a $99 pentium box to run gnome, if you're that interested in having it.
(and what's with this 20 seconds before post rule? does everyone on slashdot think really slowly?)
Hitler wasn't voted into the chancellorship, he was appointed by Kaiser Wilhelm. He first got a post through election, but was thrown out shortly thereafter. After Wilhelm appointed him, he seized more and more power, until early 1945.
the point is not being able to work around it -- the point is that microsoft is trying to own the internet. this is the first step of what everyone has seen coming. is it a coincidence that xp shipped today? i doubt it.
now is the time that we are getting the solid ammo to point out to everyone we know that microsoft is trying to control the web. we've been telling friends and family for years, but they pooh-poohed us. now they are starting to do it, and we can show people proof. so show them.
...is in a company or a group that is small enough (and / or not entirely technically focused) for you to be the uber-expert. when the tech support is asking _you_ about issues, you can pretty much walk around pants-less.
it would be a much better use of hemos' and slashdot user's time and resources if the top article on the home page were always the same -- titled "WE HATE PATENTS" -- and then everyone could just make the same old comments once.
now when mom walks by her 14-year old boy's room, all she has to say is, "why is the cursor going up and down so fast?" and >boom no more internet porn.

i appreciate that one of the options for installing the patch, as suggested on the patch web site, is to 'run this program from its current location'.
seems like the sort of thing you wouldn't want people to get used to doing.
you dad used to say 'a laser is just a laser'? where, picnics?
thank god slashcode at least is safe.
i am not trying to create flamebait, but linux, with its current UIs, will not be successful in the desktop market.
it is clunky, inelegant and unsophisticated. secretaries will like it even less than windows.

if gore were president, he could have an alternative personally created, tested and up by this evening.
now we have to worry about the post office's plan to charge us for email.
what's that? you haven't heard about it? i'll send you the email... (COD)
Welcome to America!

maybe, after years of calling crashes and bugs "features", microsoft is now calling them "games".

i can't believe that your employer managed to convince you that salaries are so ephemeral.
as a mac fan, i'm very glad the icon next to the title is mr. gates, not the apple.
last thing apple needs on slashdot is bad pr.

OK, now that we have this update, there are two courses of action, beloved Slashdot posters:
- Complain that Apple isn't open-sourcing the OS, so they suck anyway.
- Suggest that Apple sucks because you can't run OS X on non-Apple machines.
Have at it!
