  1. Very simple solution on Dealing with Digital Music and Vendor Lock-In? · · Score: 0

    Download a program called TuneBite. Install it. Go to either Napster or Yahoo with unlimited downloads for a small monthly fee. Play all your music through TuneBite (WMA encrypted format supported). Use the high speed recording feature to process thousands of songs. TuneBite automatically recreates each file in MP3 format leaving the DRM behind.

    You now have a library of music that can be played on any MP3 player, any operating system, and is all labeled nicely.

    Cost for doing this: $20 bucks for tunebite, plus 5 bucks a month on yahoo for all the music you want.

    Problem solved

  2. An Easier Way on Online Music Stores Compared · · Score: 0

    I own an iPod. I've never downloaded music from iTunes store. I bought a subscription to Napster and downloaded about 11,000 songs. I then used a program called TuneBite (www.tunebite.com) that re-records all the Napster songs in mp3 format (or ogg, etc) using a high speed 4x dubbing option. After the new songs are created, I delete the original Napster files and begin to download thousands of more songs from Napster.

    I pay 15 bucks a month for unlimited downloads that work on my iPod. TuneBite cost $17 bucks. Napster is 15 bucks a month. By the end of October, I should have close to 17,000 songs which puts the 250g HD to use.

    It surprises me that more people arent doing this as its completely legal and allows you to load up your iPod with tons of new songs.

  10. Re:$27,000? on An Informal Study Of K12 Classroom Software Costs · · Score: 0

    Does anyone ever think of the children using these computers? Id say about 90 percent of the children at a school will most likely not go into the field of computers. That means that these children will have to know how to use standard business software such as the Microsoft Windows platform, not to mention Microsoft Office, and other Windows based software. How will someone be able to get a job when they lack such basic skills as using a Windows based machine.

  13. Re:Uh dood.....? on Return Of the Lost Server · · Score: 1

    Ya know what....that movie was quite funny. Im in college now and i can tell you that a lot of people around here (boston area) found that movie to be really hilarious. So most likely it did not appeal to tons of people, but on the other hand lots of young people liked it alot. A LOT!

  14. Why not sit back and watch on Curl Instead of Java or JavaScript? · · Score: 1

    Ya know what what; maybe this new language will make a difference. Maybe this new technology will enable many thousands of people the ability to create the types of pages and applications that usually require more knowledge to create. and that would be a good thing as i see it. The more people know, the more we will have, and the more you will know. Its just the plain truth. Also who cares if its a plugin. If this language really stands out then most likely it will be implemented inside the next versions of the browsers getting rid of the plugin. The same thing with Flash...that started as a plugin, and still is, but its also implemented inside many new browsers and how many people use it now?...some couple hundred million or so. I wouldnt be so quick to bash a new technology that may have the potential to change certain things.
