There is good music in the US, but, if anything, the US seems to produce less of that relative to its size than other places.
This really annoys me, I am by no means a britney spears fan, but if lots of people like her and buy her records then who am I to denounce her music ?.
It would be easy to write off Xbox Live, but I don't think that would be very wise. By all accounts the Xbox live service is very slick, feature packed and easy to use. If M$ are smart they will see which way the wind is blowing and find a way to offer game publishers incentives (financial or otherwise).
ok I don't want to turn this into a tech support thread but I am having my first real experience with linux at the moment.
I have installed RH8 and am trying to use it as a router, managed to get it working with my adsl connection (no mean feat considering I'm a linux newbie) and am now trying to get my WinXP boxen to access the net through the linux box over my home ehternet network.
I'm told to do this I need to learn the "iptables" program and learn how to forward ip's.
whats my point ?, my point is that the router also has a dual boot with Win2K, and it's a complete doddle to set it up as a router.
So why doesn't iptables have a simple gui frontend that helps set things up ?.
I had the same reaction as you when I read it, the article seems to be written by someone who doesn't understand the practicalites of what he was suggesting. Saying that, while Longhorn almost certainly will be compatible with other NT based os's, that doesn't necesarily mean that MS are not going to try go in the direction in the future.
It's time to start slowly retiring the shuttles, they have been very useful and their place in space exploration should not be forgotten. It may seem unwise to retire them when we don't have a decent alternative but neccesity is the mother of invention.
I saw an tv program recently about evidence that europeans migrated and died out, this happened before the asian migration that native americans descend from.
Sorry but this is misleading, the CPU's for the PS2 and GC are both specifically designed for games, the xbox is still more powerful but it is a lot closer than those numbers represent.
The xbox is running a x86 intel chip, I'm sure most of us here don't need to be reminded that the current x86 chips we use today are descendants of of chips designed purely to crunch numbers for business applications. Quite a lot of CPU cycles are wasted in current computers, if you were trying to design a CPU for an interactive entertainment system you would not design it like an x86 chip.
Also the fact that the PS2 is 18 months older than the xbox explains why it's spec seems to be unimpressive.
It should be pointed out that the notion that Ogg Vorbis is provides better quality audio is not universally accepted. Audio quality is incredibly difficult to quantify as it is subjective. Even if you ignore all the different variables (CBR vs VBR, quality of audio equipment, etc.) one person may make very different judgements from another (especially with Vorbis and Mp3 being so close).
And most tech reviews I have read seem to indicate that the different compression formats (Vorbis, Mp3 and WMA) all have different strengths when it comes to particular types of music.
Slashdot Mirror
your story reminds me of mulholland drive
I guess this linux thing isn't all it's cracke up to be, back to windows.
Never. Going. To. Happen.

Say it with me people... "Music is subjective".

Anyone fancy a swim ?
guy called pete, had a son, called him repeat
Security ?
well, at least everyone agrees that linux isn't ready for the desktop.

Perhaps we should be giving people with good sounding ideas around $10M to try to make them work.
Isn't that what has been happening ?, as the old engineering saying goes "better, faster, cheaper, you can do two but not all three at the same time".

Last time I checked, that was a slang term for a cripple
it doesn't mean cripple, go rent Pulp Fiction, I think that film pretty much covers what a gimp is.
The most juicy part - photos are here.
/. strikes again.
Nope
anyone who doesn't want a national identity card has something to hide.

Enough with all the "why not ?" and "cause it's never been done before" justifications.
He changed the DVD, the HDD, he added loads of extra hardware.
It's no longer a friggin XBox!

remember you are beautiful in each and every way.

BSD dying ? (ducks for cover).
the reaction I get from women is colder.
i'm aksing why is a linux OS better for developing film editing software ? (and being called a troll for doing so).
