Sure, you're hooked directly to your stereo, but how good is your sound card? Is there any interference from the RF generated by the peripheral boards sitting an inch away from it? How much distortion is masked by fan noise from your computer?
More money, better neighborhood, better departmental politics, generally happier faculty and students. Columbia is a good place to be an undergrad, but I've met very few happy Columbia grad students in *any* department.
Given a choice between NYU and Columbia, I'd say go for NYU.

Ted Nelson ``created'' that system too, about twenty years earlier. It is called Xanadu.

I don't see how you concluded that this would work. I don't understand what technical challenges you are referring to. I don't understand why you think they are surmountable.
The article is about what people actually use - Windows 3.1, 95, maybe 98. The Economist article is a little more balanced. They conclude that the productivity gains are probably still in the pipeline. Two hours a day per person fixing crashes seems a little overstated to me, but what do I know, I'm not a windows user.
Sure, profit runs this country, and if Redhat customers can make a bigger profit by paying basically $0 for their operating systems and getting support from redhat, redhat can be a success. That's what will drive this IPO.
Before it was called the open source movement it was called``academia''.
Build your own 2.2.10 RPMs!

The best solution is to get the kernel-2.2 source RPM, update it, and build your own set of 2.2.10 RPMs. Then everything is properly installed including pcmcia, and its easy to back out if something goes wrong.
If a news story just pointed out that the software they are basing their IPO on can be created by a single programmer in their spare time it might cool off investor interest. That way we don't look like a lynch mob either.
These boxes are seriously tied up from a political point of view. I asked one of the companies about downloading the files to a computer and they said no way, no how, and that they couldn't say why.

Too bad they only tested at 128 kbps, I encode at 256.

That's, like, ten minutes of work.

this use of the term `stereo components'
Its called an ``acquisition''. IBM is buying Sequent.
Got one for my birthday. Works find, but no brightness or contrast controls or power saver yet.
They always put their own name up there, and that doesn't seem to bother anyone.

As far as I know, the real player protocol us utterly closed and proprietary.
Equally true.
Life is too short to make things that I can afford to buy.

I'm sorry, that was harsh.
