However the bulk of my passwords are meanlingless to everyone but are combinations of numbers and words that make sense if viewed from my life.
Don't be too sure. "dk3@sX/.4sF" may have some sort of deep meaning/mnemonic for you, but I don't need any of that, the only meaning I need is "password".
Thats not exactly true. Bandwidth is a commodity that does not scale up linearly. And the cost of running itms on a day that has the links saturated is the same as the cost on a day where the links are all idle.
Anyway you still failed to refute the the inifnite supply argument, Let's assume that that in a 24 hour period itms can transfer a million songs. Now what's the difference if it's a million instances of a single song (high demand) and a million unique songs? (low demand) There's none! In a scarcity world, you'd ratchet up the price of the high demand song because you only have so many, and supply and demand have to reach equilibrium, but you have as many as required! Supply and demand are always in equilibrium in this case from a scarcity and pure cost point of view.
The problem with using a builtin passwdmgr is that it ties you to a specific installation of the browser. Say I want to log in to/. from both home and work. I'd still need to know what my password was in order to put it in to the work machine. Sure you could use something like that usb firefox thing, but that's equally a pain. Nah. unencrypted plaintext file available over the web. That's the "best" way.
Just use password gorilla everywhere since it's available on mac, linux, and win32. That's why I have. But in all honesty, I don't really use it. It's frankly too much of a pain to fire up another program,log in, search, copy and paste the login and password, and the close the program. So what do I do use? Unencrypted plain text files named after domains, all stored in a handy directory named dont_look_here .
OpenID is tied to the Distributed Social Network project, which is as far as I can tell is trying to create some sort of platform (in the "cloud" sense) agnostic social network. Or to think of it another way, to make all the social sites play together nice.
Admirable goal. I'd like something like that, but let's be honest. It's doomed to failure because no one wants to play nice. Why? The entire valuation of the social sites is in their user base. They want people to come to them, and stay. There's no interest in making it easy for people to take data hosted on one site and displayed on a competitors.
While I like the idea of not being tired to some other group holding all my data, but still being able to share it, I just don't see other people playing along. Also, the only way you can share something, without relinquishing control of it is to set up your own severs, but very few wants to do that. (While I am perfectly capable of doing that, I choose not to, since life is much more interesting than patching servers and what not.) This means that you have to have someone host your data for you, and then you're back to where you started with someone else controlling your data.
In the real world, everything has different prices depending on demand. The "Everything should be 99c" thing may simplify things, but it's hardly fair, either to the labels or to us.
Ahh, but here's your mistake. You're applying Supply and Demand rules to a commodity that has effectively infinite supply. Prices go up with demand as a result of scarcity. The market is essentially an auction in that respect. In the download world, the cost isn't the commodity being sold, but rather the storefront itself. iTMS costs the same to run whether it's selling a million songs, or only a single song.
You're analysis made sense right up until you said that Apple was at risk of being driven out of the music download business. That's complete hogwash. There's iTMS has 70% of the WORLDWIDE marketshare of digital downloads. That means that there's effectively no second, third, or even fourth place. Also, there's little evidence that on a whole users are clamoring for DRM free files. Sure, they'd rather have it than not all things being equal, but that doesn't mean they're going out of their way for DRM free.
Also, you completely lost me when you said that Apple wasn't pursuing "reasonable pro-consumer policies" by offering DRM free files. I would have thought enabling competition and true "play anywhere" files would be the ultimate in pro-consumer policies, but apparently I'm mistaken. Apparently DRM laden files is where it's at. Who knew?
That's not true at all... or do the Romans still control everything and I just don't know it?
The Roman Catholic church. The European Common Market was created by the Treaty of Rome Audrey Hepburn stared in "Roman Holiday". ESPN gave Jim Rome his own show, "Rome is Burning". Roman Polanski is a famous director and fugitive.
Yeah, but after more than 10 years of being less than 1.0, is that really an achievement, or more just admitting that there has been a stable releases for years now?
Good catch! I didn't even pay any attention to where it linked to! I was more concerned that the source page didn't actually list the joule estimate. USGS lists "24 megatons thermal energy (7 by blast, rest through release of heat)" which is 1.00416e+17, which is actually less than than the ICR estimate.
That said, I'll take the USGS estimate over some random dude's uninformed opinion. Especially since you grossly overestimated estimate the volume involved. Only.67 cubic miles was actually moved via the landslide, with.046 cubic miles of lateral blast,.26 cubic miles of ash, and.029 cubic miles of lava.
The three last eruptions were 6000, 700, and 2500 times Mt St Helens 1980 (MSHE), which released 1.67 exajoules (1.673 x 10^18 Joules). According to the esteemed Christopher Thomas 1 Burning Library of Congress (BLoC) is equivalent to 4 petajoules (4 x 10^15 Joules). Converting MSHE to BLoC gives 1 MSHE = 418.25 BLoC. So the last three eruptions were 2509500 BLoC, 292775 BLoC, and 1045625 BLoC, respectively. Since we don't know how big the next eruption will be, let's just assume the mean of the last 3, and that's 1282633.3 BLoCs, or 39% of the total solar energy that strikes the surface of the Earth.
For the day that users could fast forward past the FBI warning is now gone. And so as remember this day, let us recall those guiding words: Be Kind. Rewind.
My point was that "wooden chair" is simply a label. The machine has no idea that it's two words, nor meaning of the words. It could have been called "battleship" and the machine would be humming along identically.
It's not doing material analysis like some here want to believe.
I was thinking you're running some sort of multiclass classification system. Originally I was thinking you were doing something like k-means, but then I realized that with the noisy environment, you're probably doing something like multiclass PCA or LDA or something. I'd like to know which ML approach you're using.
I doubt that it it's actually identifying the composition and shape. Its most likely a big case statement. Sonar comes back with some profile and the case statement contains stuff like:
"person" "wooden chair" "wall"
If you stick something roughly the same size and shape of the chair like a metal chair, or even a box, it will also think that's a wooden chair. So yeah, it's sort of faked, just not in the way you're thinking.
Here's what happened. FDR stimulated the economy from from 1930 to 1937 just fine, growing back to the 1929 levels. Then in 1937 he was pressured to return to "orthodox" policies and prematurely balance the budget by cutting spending (i.e. stop the New Deal).
Our infrastructure has been underfunded for decades. Our electrical grid suffers from regular blackouts during the summer, and can't support alternative energy developments. Our broadband penetration and speeds are falling further and further behind the rest of the world. Our roads are constantly damaged, and we literally have bridges collapsing. Even our water and sewer infrastructure is aging and falling into disrepair. We haven't made any serious investment in infrastructure since the Interstate Highway System, over 50 years ago.
And here's the thing you need to know about public works. It's an investment. Without a maintained and modern infrastructure, your economy comes to a halt. And maintaining and providing infrastructure has always been one of the primary roles of government. That's because infrastructure simply doesn't happen by itself, especially in today's age of myopic focus on quarterly profits. (Actually that's not true. Private companies have never had in interest in providing infrastructure. Case in point: rural electrification.)
I would say actually these problems that have been growing for 20 or 30 years, as opposed to ignoring them as has been the case, is "forward thinking".
Oh and FDR fixed the econom, won a war, and pretty much created the modern United States. We can only hope that Obama can achieve even part of the success of FDR.
Do you really need $2 billion stealth bomber to bomb people without radar? Or a $138 million stealth fighter (F-22) who's main design was air superiority against Soviet fighters and bombers, but now ill be relegated to dropping bombs and bouncing rocks?
Hell, there's weapon systems that even military doesn't even want! The Seawolf was built for jobs! The AH-66 Comanche lasted 22 years before being canceled. It's mission role was changed at least twice, and we got nothing.
It's called the Military Industrial Complex, and who warned us about that? Lefty-commie-peacenik Eisenhower. And Heaven forbid if the government actually spend it's money wisely.
Themes are an excuse to create completely no-standard UI, round windows, that a branded with tiny low contrast controls and giant pictures of either latest movie, latest hot girl, or better yet, the latest hot girl in the latest movie.
Newsflash! The "library" is simply a directory. The only thing you should care about is that it's easy for you to get your files out of the managed directory. (i.e. They're not named something dumb like [md5hash].mp3)
Second, there's got to be something better for you to do than to concern yourself with the trying to name everything consistently and organize your music files. Machines are good at performing repetitive tedious and boring tasks. Let the machine do it, and take up a hobby with your free time, like masturbating.

Do I have to spell it out for you?
"Release" is a meaningless concept in open source. What's "released" when you can get the software at any point you want?
Yeah, but after more than 10 years of being less than 1.0, is that really an achievement, or more just admitting that there has been a stable releases for years now?

It's a day. The link cites Wikipedia.
It's a day, which would be ~24 hours
I got the number from Wikipedia, which apparently converted it from this article.
The three last eruptions were 6000, 700, and 2500 times Mt St Helens 1980 (MSHE), which released 1.67 exajoules (1.673 x 10^18 Joules).
