I would far rather have to recharge my device every 16 hours and have 40B online instantly available (think shuffle mode...) than have to carry a library of minidisks with me.
I do not see the 16 hour cycle as any sort of inconvenience at all
so to get the equivalent storage of my $300 40gb iRiver I would have to buy 40 minidisks at $7 each = $280.00, I doubt I can get a minidisc player for $20.00
eing an iRiver user, I've ignored iTunes, I don't see what the big deal is... it doesn't get easier tahn drag n drop files from my c:\mp3\whatever_artist to f:\ (my iRiver drive)... What am I missing?
Also on that link you gave, Apple states:
"Songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store are encoded using the AAC Protected format and cannot be converted to MP3 format. You can burn them to audio CDs and play them in consumer audio CD players. "
so... AAC -> Audio Cd -> CD Ripper -> MP3 ??? Am I missing something?...
No, read the specs - the whole point is that you CAN verify the domain name. If the from header says gmail.com but it isn't signed with gmai's key then it DIDNT come from gmail
Or was it hardware? or networking? If anything, it was the crap instalation plan - sounds like they didn't cover their asses with a decent backout procedure.
I work for a very large global insurance company and we cannot put ANYTHING live without proof of a tested backout plan.
The slashdot headline says "1 billion users" and my first thought was "what about all the servers, surely there are a significant number of non-windoze servers out there? (more than 4% of the total surely?) but no, the article does actually state "1 billion windoze pcs" rather than 1 billion users.
Shurley Shome Misteak?
Where do all the claims that unix/linux based Apache webservers rule the internet come from? surely there#s SOME truth to them?
I fear this is more marketing hype and FUD from microsoft. Maybe a bid to get developers and business committed to developing for windoze only.
I've come across at least one webmaster who flat out refuses to support anything other than ie5+ on windoze, claiming that it's too hard and not worth the effort cuz "everyone" uses windoze.
Articles like this don't help that thinking at all:(

Most of the british "indian" dishes such as Tikka Masala were actually invented by the brits in the old Indian colonial days (I heard a story that they were heavily spiced to disuise the flavour of the bad meat - someone once told me they used to use rat sometimes)
You forgot the other essential component... Gravy! Bangers & mash just isn't bangers & mash without the gravy!
(oh and you have to pile up your mash into a pyramid type shape and lean the sausages up against it. When we were kids, this was a regular treat, we had a "moat" of gravy around the "castle" and there were green garden peas in the gravy (which we took to be the bad guys who had drowned in the moat after trying to invade the castle)

ummm just scan it right there on the bookshelf, no purchase/store exit/return hoop jumping required...

2001 * 2 = 4002
Pathetic humur I know, but it might make someone laugh
My iRiver lasts 16 hours on a full charge, recharge time is just a couple of hours, more than ample for my needs.

Well, the llama was bred for just that...
yet the llama initially was bred as a load-bearing animal.
(All legal, since they were all copied from borrowed CDs). Dude.... I hope you have a good lawyer!!!
ummm.... unplug it?
Dude, he was talking about writing with a pen (i.e. labelling) rather than writing the data... the coating is impervious to cd pens
cuz it's printed with inkjet technology rather than the taditional etching techniques

Last time I checked, Space Shuttles didn't go to the moon, which is the context he was talking about...
Congratulations, your ability to confuse units means you now qualify as a NASA Scientist.

This was the implementation team's fault.

Clearly, not everyone has good spelling skills!
You mean like this?
Quick! Someone call MIB... He's an alien!!!
Hey! I heard that!
I'm a programmer but I also build all my own systems and do the same for family and friends (for an exchange of beer tokens of course!)
How unbeleivably dumb is this guy! You just don't touch any components without being earthed, it's Golden Rule #1
Someone should also buy this guy some cable ties. The guts of his system are a mess!
RTFA!
