It's clear that if ACDSee can't show 11MP JPEGs fast enough for the editor on modern hardware then it's the wrong tool for the job. Sports Illustrated wrote a custom app to transfer images from the cameras (I've written one myself and it looks and functions in a very similar manner) then they need to write one that will pre-cache more than one image ahead. It could also do tricks like show the next three images as small thumbnails on the bottom of the screen, letting the editor quickly skip the shots of the photographers foot. No matter, a 3GHz machine is way more than enough hardware to show large JPEGs at 3 frames a second.
Why would it matter? The bottleneck isn't the time it take the computer to display the image, it's the time it takes the human brain to register and think about what they're seeing.
Regardless, if for some reason the split second delay is a problem the next image can be pre-loaded while the human is looking at the current image. Faster and more specialized hardware is not the answer.
If you live in Canada this is a non-issue for you as you can download freely from almost any source. This is due to the levy paid on blank media and the sanity of the Canadian Copyright Board.
However, unless the legislation is changed or the courts interpret matters differently, it appears that making a private copy for your own use of a musical work downloaded in any manner from the internet is not an infringement of copyright. In their decision, the Copyright Board states:
The regime does not address the source of the material copied. There is no requirement in Part VIII that the source copy be a non-infringing copy. Hence, it is not relevant whether the source of the track is a pre-owned recording, a borrowed CD, or a track downloaded from the Internet.
The more complex answer to the question posed above is you cannot post a song on the internet in any manner, but you can make a private copy of any songs you find on the net.
Is it safe? Mostly. Without a proper audit and knowing what you want to be safe from, it's impossible to say yes. If you mean safe from vile content, fortunately it's quite easy to avoid sites or content you would really prefer not to see. Unlike the Internet, content is almost always labelled for what it is.
Is is ran efficiently? Pretty much. It would be nice if the heard was larger. Discussions tend to be ocassionally heated but generally intelligent.
A Pentium II 350 with 256MB of RAM should be sufficient if you reduce the number of threads and/or connections. It wouldn't hurt to restart FreeNet every few days to keep things healthy, at least at this point.
There has been a significant amount of work done on reducing memory and CPU usage during the last couple of months. In addition to a lot of tuning and profiling, a great improvement was made by switching to asychronous IO (multiplexing).
If for some reason you have a particularily slow computer the resource usage can be reduced by turning down the number of threads and/or connections it uses.
So he was using a 1650 hp, 450 mph fighter to do low level fly-overs of cattle. Not the brightest thing to do, but still...... he should have used a Stearman.
A former company did a rather large booth a COMDEX a few years ago. They planned it a bit late so the more attractive of the Booth Marketting Persons were already obligated to other companies. One of the women was as much fun as a brick in the desert.
The other woman had a great personality and eventually she stopped giving out post cards demonstrating a technical application to victi... potential customers. It was amazing how much more attentive the demonstratee was with her. I don't know if it's because she was a woman, evidence of the friendliness of the application or what, but it stuck.

I must have a weather tree. When it's leaves are green it's going to be warm, yellow leaves mean it's getting cooler and no leaves means it's damn cold.
I would suspect the percentage of "abusers" to be an order of magnitutde higher, probably closer to 5%. But what will bite them is the 20% that get letters saying they're abusing their service because they decided to download every MP3 they could find. Once a customer gets that letter they're going to be tension between them and the ISP.
This assumes consumers are sufficiently educated about what they are buying. I am sure you understand they do not know anything about how much it costs the ISP to offer a dedicated 56K connection. Even if a consumer were to think about the economics of your business it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that if you can offer a 386kb connection for $35 a month then you can offer a seventh of that service for $15 a month.
It doesn't matter the ISP tries to change the definition of the word "unlimited". It is clear there is a large discrepency between what the ISP is attempting to sell and what is being delivered to the consumer. That is at best criminally false advertising and at worst outright fraud. This whole problem can be avoided by simply clarifying what is "unlimited" or avoiding the term in the first place.
And thing of this: If you don't meat the customers expectations it's going to come back and bite you in the ass every time.
It's no suprise that Levi Strauss closed its last US manufacturing plant after getting in bed with WalMart to make cheap jeans so consumers could save a couple of bucks while putting their neighbours out of work.
This is so much oversimplified crap. No matter how much money we save on an item it's just going to get spent on something else.
Lower prices are great help to low income families.
And who says that the person who gained a job because of the extra Wal-Mart business doesn't deserve it just as much as your neighbor?
I get it now, participating in the X-Prize is Carmacks way of staying out of hell for creating Doom! If there is a hell, I can imagine creating a game about slaughtering countless hellspawn would really piss them off.

Buy paper, a pen and tape. Tape the paper to outside of the containers. Use the pen to write the contents on the paper. Make a note (using a pen and paper) when removing or replacing an item. Use the rest of tape to a picture of a pretty woman to your wall as inspiration to get outside more often.
Or (and this is to everybody) throw away or donate the crap you don't use! Your last machine didn't even come with a floppy drive so why do you have a dozen floppy drive cables? Can't bear to part with 1MB sticks of RAM that cost you $80 each? Really need 327 case screws? Back away from the crap. Let it go. Please, just let it go.

CICILY, NEW WORK - A press release from the Recording Industry Artists of America indicates they have merged with the Mafia in a move to focus entirely on their core business, strong arm tactics and racketteering.
Well known inside man Simson Garfinkel wasn't availble for at the time of the interview. It is believe he is on vacation fishing with the swimmers in the East River. However, his musical partner Paul Art was available and made the comment "... with everybody downloading our music our careers were starting to suck even more, we needed protection. I mean, we couldn't have grandmothers downloading our music off KaZoom Light Extreme so contacting The Mob was the obvious choice. Plus now we have the inside track on our new musical winning a Fat Tony.".
In a related story it was revealted today the Mafia has connections to news site Slashdot and network provider Akamai. By threatening to submitting to story to Slashdot containing the phrases "Linus, hot grits, Natalie Portman, and homemade p0rn" with a link to the company website victims had little choice but to subscribe to Akamai services. It is rumoured the RIAA is attempting to partner with the mob to use this technique to boost diminishing traffic to the N' Sync web site.
No, I didn't contradict anything. If anybody can snoop on your unsecured traffic you are by definition insecure. It's frightening to think that if someone wanted to hack you all they need to do is rent an office and sit in a comfy room for a day with a laptop. No physical security to bother with, just sitting playing Quake while the machine captures an virtually endless stream of packets.
Listen people, merely reducing the risk does not mean your wireless is secure.

The inverse is also true. What if YOU had something you needed to say but couldn't?

Not quite.
