why does everyone here seem to have a problem with Emeril?
I can't speak for everyone else, but MY personal problem is his (lack of) sanitary habits..
I only once watched more than a snippet of his show, and never once did I see him wash his hands - after handling one dish, he rubbed his face and then proceeded to go right on working on another ingredient.
It was enough to make me never want to eat anything he cooked.
Every time since, when I catch him on FoodTV (which is tough to miss, since he's on pretty much ALL THE DAMN TIME), he's always bent over, six inches away from what he's making... now, maybe I'm overreacting.. maybe his spittle and breath are 'secret ingredients', but it's quite disturbing to watch.
I live outside Edmonton, Alberta, Canada... and have a bit of difficulty find a GOOD store to find some of the cool gadgets you use on your show
In Edmonton, try the Bosch Kitchen Center on 51 Ave.. they've got a good supply of quality kitchen utensils.. I don't know if they carry the measuring cups you mentioned, but they are the only place I could find that carries probe thermometers as a regular stock item!
No, it isn't - you're just twisting it to try to prove your point.
We're not talking about people we're talking about specialized people.
No, we're not. Original analogy stated tanks vs. cavalry - both play a similar role, only the technology has changed... but the fact remains that there are still people in control of them.
Just like "are actors going to be replaced by technology"... NO - (at the very least) someone STILL needs to provide a voice... until the director can enter his script into a computer, and have a movie produced, you'll still need some sort of actor..
Again (see my post below) by the time this happens, we'll have warp drives and transporters, so it's kind of a moot point.
Modern armies have been moving away from having large numbers of soldiers... ilots in the airforce is another example. Unmanned aircraft are starting to become important to the military
(emphasis mine).. you've made my point...
Sure, eventually military hardware will make all soldiers obsolete - at this time, the "army" will consist of a couple of generals, and a computer to control everything..
Of course, by then we'll also have transporters and warp drives...
Why does this sound a bit like a cavalry officer of the 1930s? "Sure tanks can do great things, but their range is limited, and they just can't go into certain terrain. There'll ALWAYS be a need for horses in a modern army."
Bad analogy - we're not talking about props, but people
Now, if you take your analogy, and say "There'll ALWAYS be a need for soldiers in a modern army", your argument falls down.
Yes, horses have gone away, but the soldiers who rode them didn't. They just use tanks now, instead.
This is the same argument he's making: hollywood will always need people.
If the proposed legislation is as described, namely requiring the use of OSS, then it actually reduces choice.
No, it doesn't.
Requireing open source over proprietary code no more "reduces choice" than a tender for new garbage vehicles requiring trucks and not cars "reduces choice".
I don't see Austin complaining that tenders for garbage trucks discriminates against them, because it excludes Minis.
Similarly, if part of the tender declared that the new trucks must be repairable by the city's maintenance department (instead of the trucks coming with a contract that says "you are not allowed to open the hood), that would be perfectly acceptable as well...
If MS (or any other company) doesn't want to bid on such a project, then that's their tough luck... but saying that such a policy is discriminatory or "reduces choice" is just rediculous.
Well, according to a 1995 study, 33% of pet owners leave answering machine messages for their pet when they're away... so maybe she's from the Ozarks or something, and figured she'd do the same thing with email?:o)
Actually, I don't see anything about content protection in this.
Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean that it's not there..
One of the problems with this whole "digital tuner" thing is that "content protection" is built into the standard.. there is a flag (part of the broadcast) which (if set) will tell your VCR/PVR/whateVeR that it's not allowed to record this particular program... it was originally allowed by the FCC because the broadcasters claimed that they'd only use it for pay-per-view events and the like, but it slowly spread to include first-run movies, and (now) pretty much everything... so you can say goodbye to time-shifting anything broadcast by your local network.
And thanks to the DMCA, you'll be prevented from modding your VCR/PVR/whateVeR to ignore it.
This is why adding the digits is also known as casting out nines.
I thought that "casting out nines" was a reference to the fact that you can (quickly) find the recursive sum of any series of digits by eliminating every multiple occurrence of the number 9?
Just think... all this time spent by mathematicians, and it turns out that urologists are the ones who find the primes!

Any law against spamming can always be used against free speach
BULLSHI!
Spamming is not speech - regardless of how many spammers tell you otherwise... free speech is the right to say anything you want.. it is not the right to force people to listen to what you say, and it certainly isn't the right to force people to pay to listen to you.
Spamming has nothing to do with the first amendment.
RAID 1 is mirrored not striped. RAID 0 is striped.
To be fair, he didn't say striped, he said stripped.. so I imagine that he ran strip(1) over the file before he sent it.. if it was an executable, it would have made the file smaller, and thus transfer faster:o)
Note also the non-dotted ip format. I've seen that in action by spammers before, but I've never bothered to figure out how the ip is packed into an integer (never mind why browsers bother to interpret it).
Although someone posted instructions on how to convert it (it's just a decimal representation of a 32-bit number), there's an online calculator here for the lazy.
(please note - I'm speaking in generalities here - comments to the tune of "such-and-such-a-license doesn't do that" will be ignored.)
All of the licenses you mention grant abilities to the user - abilities that wouldn't be available to them under traditional copyright law. "Clik-wraps" seek to remove rights that would be otherwise available to the user.. by allowing them, you're starting down the old slippery-slope..
Our industry is maturing
This is the exact reason why you must not allow "click-wraps"
Click-wraps are an attempt to prevent this maturation... they typically attempt to absolve the author from liability and warranty, and/or to grant them absurd (and usually distasteful) powers.. (think the Win2K SP3 - blatant invasion of privacy, all to fix bugs to software you have already paid for)... A truly "mature" art will be very well understood, and be subject to peer-review (which is one of the benefits of open source); allowing a license to prevent this (which is common in click-wraps) is a serious step backwards in the evolution of software design.

What exactly did Microsoft STEAL?
How about Stacker?
Microsoft has offered services to 'peacefully coexist' for Netware, and Appletalk. ... Don't be fooled! Keep your unix machines!
My thoughts exactly.
This guy is a diplomat - and you know what they say about diplomacy, right? It's the art of saying "nice doggy" until you can find a big enough stick.
Take what he says with a grain of salt, and make sure you keep your eye on whoever is pulling his strings.

What about the choice of the customer?
He uses scientific approches to cooking
Bingo - this man is the main reason I get the Food network..
Not only does he explain the science of food, but he does it in an entertaining manner (he was a video director before he was a chef..)
I loved his "Scrap Iron Chef" episode... a parody of Junkyard Wars and Iron Chef..
"Aww crap, I forgot to carry the 1!"
Wouldn't that be "I forgot to carry the 1... 8 times!"
In addition to the other explanations offered in this thread, I'd like to offer my own...
"We used the same calculators that NASA used to convert imperial to metric."

I get maybe one spam a week now that isn't caught by the assassin and about 35-40 a day get routed into my Trash automagically.
This is the problem with spamassasin (and it's ilk).. it doesn't do anything to stop spam, all it does is pretend it doesn't exist.
From an ISP's perspective, the biggest problem with spam is that it's wasted bandwidth - which translates to wasted money...
With spamassasin, you get the worst of both worlds.. you don't see the spam, but the spammer is still stealing your resources.
Kind of like "bolting the barn door after the horses have eaten your children."
Even better, is this one..
"This is free enterprise at its finest."
Yeah... I'll bet that's what John Gotti thought about his "business" too..

when was the last time you made a free copy of your bottle of water or cup of coffee?
This morning, in the staff room. My employer pays for it, so it's free to me.
Which was kind of her point.
Why won't:
/dev/rmt0
find . -print |cpio -ocBv
or some variation work for you?
Because they use the filesystem interface, and the atime will get updated, and I'm guessing this bugs him..
FWIW, I think Linus is right; if you want to do a complete image, umount the drive and use dd.
