ZapMail, except this time it being legal comes from a digital signature AND a money trail, instead of just a money trail. It didn't work before, so I'm skeptical.
I would think to test it, he'd just create a couple of screen names and let it spread among them, instead of through his friends. Or, if he wanted to use his friends, get them to delete everyone out of the loop from his buddy list.
My guess is so you'll play on MSN Game Zone (i think that's what it's called, my dad's obsessed) instead. (I know they have spades, maybe hearts too. I don't really know the difference between the two)
Lie detectors are not effective. This is just being used to scare people into thinking they can't lie. I really wish more people knew more about psychology....
i have an iPod, so i'm not sure about your device, but from my experience recording music, you'll do a lot better with a line in if you can amp it somehow. at least that's something to try. you should be able to beat the external mic with a line in
for various hardware (routers, hard drives, etc), i keep them in original boxes. i keep all spare wiring in old pillowcases from college.
the neatest arrangement i have is with my ipod. i had RCA plugs installed in the car, with a switch (all flush mounted in the dash, looks factory installed) to change between the cd changer and the ipod. add that to a good subwoofer in the trunk, and you have yourself one beautiful car stereo.
avoid my bookshelves though:) you'll find old game systems stacked up (only the gamecube gets attention these days)
i know this is way off-topic, but i just want to say thanks for posting this article because my cell phone bill is due today and i would have completely forgotten about it. thanks tim!
As a Memphis resident and Nashville hater, I have to say that this doesn't surprise me. The country music industry is based in Nashville, and is the source of much of Nashville's prosperity. There are also television shows filmed in Nashville (there was TNN - The Nashville Network, and there is some country square dancing show that a lot of people watch that's filmed at some club on Nashville's Broadway (their version of our Beale Street or New Orleans' Bourbon Street). So, it's in the Tennessee government's best interest to protect this industry the best that they can. I hate to see it happen, though.
Thank you. It's easy to become disallusioned reading these forums. If there's something that has a possibility for abuse for end users (i.e. RFID), it's the end of the world and we all need to buy tin foil hats. But, if it's something that can potentially about the corporations/big brother (i.e. P2P file sharing), everyone's pointing out the possible good uses (e.g. sharing research papers, etc). When I read these comments, I think of the Buddhist "everything in moderation" idea. P2P is good and bad, just like RFID and satellites tracking cars.
I read the article (can you believe it?) and it got me to thinking about something. The EFF should change their focus to obtaining all of these ridiculous patents before they reach malicious hands. If the EFF had a patent on DRM, they could simply not do anything with it, except keep everyone else from implementing it.
I have recorded quite a bit of music in my bedroom, with very good quality. I recommend buying an Echo Mia card which is dirt cheap. Then get a mic, and perhaps a cheap guitar amp as a preamp, and plug the output of the guitar amp to the Mia instead of to them amp's speaker. The quality will astonish you. And also follow the basic rules like turn off your A/C, fans, anything that makes sound in your home, etc. Here's a sample of what it sounds like with something I've recorded.
When I was a kid, I called Nintendo about the problem with my NES not loading games, showing a blinking white screen, etc. This is what they told me to do (instead of blowing):
1. Put the cartridge in and slowly wiggle it from left to right and back for about 3 seconds.
2. Press the cartridge down, and hold it down as far as it will go, and hold the power button down for 5 seconds.
3. Start playing.
Odd thing is, it worked almost every time . . . and my parents started saving a lot of money on alcohol and Q-tips, so I could get more games!
in memphis, you now have to dial 11 digits if you are out of the county. i lived in a mississippi suburb when i was a kid and we could always dial memphis numbers directly. not anymore.
P2P Networks need a moderation system, perhaps similar to slashdot's. Have metamoderation, where you can listen to an mp3 and judge if it is rated well. You could have a system similar to slashdot's where user's that put up mp3s that have been rated well automatically get bumped up a notch (+2). Don't allow moderations until some metamoderation has been done. I think the community would be willing to take an extra few minutes of effort to help police itself and ensure quality.

wow . . . i didn't know it was a real place.
HAHAHA! That just topped my morning coffee as best thing of this morning. If I ever run into you in Colorado, dinner at Casa Bonita is on me.

If I were RedHat, I would recommend Windows before Mac OS X, for two reasons:
1. Linux has a better chance of outdoing the Windows UI than it does the Mac UI.
2. Windows users are using x86 hardware, so they can more easily convert to Linux. (Yes, I know Mac users can use Linux too, but it's not RedHat)

My biggest concern is that the developers will simply be in a scramble patching up exploits, instead of actually making their technology better.

I don't know, but I imagine the nickel was for international postage. Of course, in saying that, I am assuming you got some sort of paper receipt.

Maybe it has already happened, but I haven't heard of it.
