Yeah, they had a big room on wheels with a camera attached to the walls, a really big floor, and a bunch of guys outside pushing the walls around while they filmed inside.
Really? What about data that happens to use a buffer overrun in the interpretting software and then feeds machine code?
The point is that there is no native distinction - any file that one calls an executable could be interpretted as data, and vice versa - it's just a matter of what the system is told to do, admittedly, most data formats would not be recognized as executables by most computers, but that doesn't mean that there isn't some system that will recognize it.
I'm a little sad to see that a software developer doesn't realize one of the most basic operating principles of the stored-program computer.
You realize that all programs are just data, too, right? That's the idea of a stored-program computer - there's no distinction (new NX instructions notwithstanding) between data and instructions in a computer program. It's all a matter of what the computer chooses to interpret the data to mean.
On a certain architecture, say x86, a certain sequence of bytes is interpreted as code, and when the computer encounters it, it starts executing winamp, because instruction 1 is whatever. On a different architecture, say, an iPod, a certain sequence of data is read as a series of instructions, and the iPod behaves appropriately, creating output and waiting for input. It is certainly possible to make apure hardware mp3 player that is the equivalent of a machine that understands mp3 as its native machine language.
You gave no definitions, no distinctions, except to give examples that demonstrate that you didn't understand the argument of the parent poster - the point is, anything that does mathematical operations is a computer, and the definition of what's an executable and what's data rarely these days means things (for example, look at the fact that winamp had a bug a long while back where a malformed ID3 tag could cause arbitrary code to execute - such a file would be running code, even though you defined it as "data".
If I have a text document as a text file. Is the text file a software?
If I give you an example where the answer is "yes", will you admit that the distinction isn't as simple as you think it is?
Or Spamgourmet you can build in a maximum number of messages, create trusted senders/domains for particular disposable addresses, and reset counters on the website.
I freely admit to having no Cisco cert, and so defer to you, but why does it matter? If you are simply placing a hub in the way of a single connection, hooking in a "listen only" device can't be too bad, can it? I mean, no scope for (additional) collisions you're not adding traffic on there, is there?
As long as the hub and the monitoring system can handle the throughput, I don't understand why this would create any additional backlog.
So who, exactly is he harming? He's telecommuting - and he's not claiming to investigate these things. It's not like those journalists who fake stories that happen in places they've never been. He's just reading a weather report off a computer, which every radio news anchor does, anyway - it's not as if he's claiming to be out there with a thermometer. And to say things like "when do we get a break" does not constitute lying - it's not as if he said "I'm here in Boston, reporting on blah-blah-blah".
I have many issues with ClearChannel, but frankly, this isn't one of them.
I'd say film is dead except for somebody like the poster - he clearly wants to study the craft - and while journalists and wedding photographers (and the like) who sell the content of their images more than anything else may be moving to digital, there are still holdouts in terms of artists who feel that film photography is a craft that they don't want to give up entirely.
The parent makes excellent points - only thing is that if you get a manual-everything camera, even with a lot of practice, quickly getting a picture is nigh impossible. I might get a low-end camera which has the option of manual everything, but even with my Canon A-1 (as old as I am!), I'm often frustrated by the need to just *focus* before I take a shot. (Maybe if I used it more, that'd come a lot more naturally to me.) Also, if you're developing your own, of course you can always try to compensate for bad settings at development time.
Not in my experience - mine ran out quick as anything, but the bigger problem was that they weren't rechargeable - you had to buy new (fairly expensive) watch batteries when it died.
Xirlink - the REX - I have one (though it seems broken - apparently it wasn't up to the rigours of living in my pocket)
The internet - a brave new distribution source.

I agree, who needs the RIAA, indeed?
My friend's band, Flashbulb Diary has been spreading solely through internet (and word of mouth, of course), and they have a decent following. They're mostly making money from playing shows, as they made their entire CD downloadable.
"OpenFT is a peer-to-peer network designed and implemented by/for the giFT project. Originally, giFT began as a client purely for the FastTrack network but the original development was halted after numerous "security updates" made by FastTrack which changed compatibility in such a way that made it difficult to regain access. As a result, OpenFT was designed to provide an open network loosely based on the concepts understood from the reverse engineering of the FastTrack network.
The beauty of OpenFT comes in the modern approach to peer-to-peer distributed querying while maintaining an open and collaborate atmosphere. Currently OpenFT supports a wide range of features (and is very open to future extension) including: ZLib compression, well distributed ultrapeer/supernode-like search capabilities, optimized share index querying, and multi-source downloading (thanks in large part to giFT, of course). See the TODO (and eventually ROADMAP) files in the source distribution for more information on where we plan to go from here."
The same way buying in bulk from any store can reduce cost to you - when they're sure you'll buy a larger amount, they're willing to charge you less...

A citation, reference or some kind of verifiable evidence of that would be nice...
Or the music vid to virtual insanity... but there he actually moved, and the room (and camera) moved with him.

What about a text file whose first line is:

In GNOME, at least, i think there's a separate clipboard that's for Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, so if you use those two, you can use normal windows-styl C&P
I'll assume it was the other way around - I mean after all:

well, if he goes and gets them replaced, as he says the will, they aren't out of circulation.
Hmm - are these going to be aired as ads or anything? If so, they should probably fix the fact that they meant "lets", not "let's" in the first one...

giftd doesn't work on the fasttrack network - it used to, but doesn't anymore.

That, and of course it's not lossless.
Yeah - but you've sunk your rental budget into the netflix flat rate, so you'd rather not spend more money...
