Artist get less profit from them, because they are a "New" media
Artist get less profit, because the record lable withholds for breakage. A common occurance during shipping of LP's, but rarely now because CD's are much stronger.
Remeber the old packaging, like what costco still does? That was the most expensive part of the whole process, but they got Bono out to "save the trees" and made a comercial. Now CD Retailers have to purchase the resuable plastic ones, raseing the cost to consumers, while bulk CD prices dropped not one dime.
what drives are you using? I'm really curious about what through but you are getting. I went with SCSI just ultra fast/wide, 80Mbs, but my drive cant even get close to that, not even when burning a CDROM, and watching a DVD.
most people forget that ATA 100 vs 33 makes little difference for 2 reasons.
1) drive throughput is still much less than 100Mbs for continious reading, more lik 40, upto 50 on those really spiffy ata100 7200rpmdrive
2) only one working drive on a chanel at a time. no raid, nothing on ide...
Wow, Your infromative, detailed, point by point description of the pertinante facts was riveting! I will never purchasing something from such a henious company! Someone mod this down, please!
Ironicly, last week some num-nuts shot the Alaskan Oil pipleine with a rifle, causing the largest Alaska oil Pipe line spill in history. Brilliant ehh?
Thats the funny thing about static, is that it comes from 2 nonconducting surfaces rubbing against each other....ie slik and glass......so you actually want to put it on a conducting grounded surface....
I have plenty of other things to do, and I wouldn't bother with this if it weren't important. I have paid work to do, so I lose my hourly rate for work done without pay.
That implys that I would actually pay to read it, which is false
My only critisism is the coment on FPGA's They are getting quite fast, especially on graphics because so much of it is parralelable, rotations/translations/shading. All of it is Linear algebra that can be easily accellerated. I saw a 40Mhz FPGA outperform a 400Mhz PII (couple of years agod) almost 10:1, on a few specific graphic routines. Now if you take technology Like PipeRench(sp) from MIT you get som very state of the Art technology. Not to mention that people like NVIDIA and ATI are already instituting programble devices on their cards
Ok.....Canada is Sooo much smarter..but wait, they have taxes on all blank CD's, ok how about....Australia...no..they censore the internet for everybody.....wait....how about....nevermind. Germany.....their suing people because names are "remarkable similar". You find a Country, and you find stupid laws,
Thats only if parents exert no control at all over their kids, and they become little pop-trash-loving, gap-nordstrums-wearing, its-not-my-fault drains on society
I pay 32.50 bucks a month for cable. Now, if 1) got 15% back on everything I spend, that would be alot of money. if its only on advertised products, there still wouldnt be much difference, but lets just limit it to gas, food, and entertainment, insurrance. 150 bucks a month(hey I drive a pickup). That comes to 22.50 a month more. now that leaves me 55 bucks a month to spend on cable. Now say I pay 5 dollars a channel, that I really want. That means I could get good shit only(no MTV, QVC, CNN but VH1, M2, TLC, HIST, TNT, UPN, Dicovery, and SciFi, and a couple for my fiance). sounds like a great plan to me!
In the state of the art iApple icar...you only have 1 foot peddle. both gas and brake. to go you just push the peddle. to stop, you have to press both the horn and stomp. briliant
Have you never made a purchase online? SSL-Thats crpyography. How about a withdrawl at an ATM-they use crpyography. Hell, when was the last time you watched a movie....DVD-CSS ring any bells. So then, does the fact that Phil is giving away(as in speech) crptography, that it is some how morraly lower than if he directly sold it?
The Post takes accuracy seriously? You have got to be joking. No...they take percived accuracy seriously, if nobody calls the line..then its the truth.
I'm sure know one will read this because it is on yeasterdays page but: your a fucking moron. the kenewick man was found while US corps of engineers were construting something(cant rember what). It gets carbon dated...tadah......it 3000 years old.....and unreleated to any current native groups found in North America. Shit hits the fan, local native groups claim it as their ancestor(couldnt possibly by the age, but under federal regulations, and body over 300 years old is a Native American, and is protected. suddeny this paints the "first nations" in an entierly new light....not the first nation, conqured by us, but a conquring nation, that commited genocide and wiped out an entire race of people. talk about innocence lost
funny, I thought cool stuff and important stuff was slashdots "identity". I, for one,like the variety. I like reading about the cartercopter(very informative webpage I must say) new toys and gadgets and so on. At the same time I find slashdot a great source of info on things like: updates on Dmitri, RIAA, MPAA, DVD-CCA, as tat most other sources are , uh, shall we say biased(read msnbc). Basicly it comes down to this: all the readers of slahsdot, are as much of its "identity", as the editors and the stories define slashdot. I couldnt even guess how many people post here on a hourly/daily/weekly basis, but given the large number and the variety, nowonder it has an "identity crisis".
PS. I really hate the "this place needs to do this thing foo or that thing bar, but not both"
dunno, about what is most of the weight, but I would assume they could ditch atleast some of the glass weight and most of the magnet weight, titanium is fairly light as far as metals go, this leaves transformers and the like,(iron core) but with the really cool BJT's coming out these days, I think we will be seeing much more powerfull/efficent/smaller powersupplys in everything.
1)It is still not leagal for any of these people to drive above the speed limit.
2)jurisdiction does not exsist here....no law enforcement bodies.(btw its their shit, their deal)
3)sampleing over a long period of time, like a minute or two would fix this problem, I can only guess as to how long of an interval they truely sample over
see, there is the rub, before you might even ask somebody if they are driving, they have already consumed enough alchoal to inhibit their decision making ability, as well as cordination. I, for one, congraulate you for your ethics, but I also think that you are by no way responsible for the patron if they drink, and drive. you have no way of knowing if they will drive.
possibly because you dont want to send it to the background?

jesus christ dude.....hes giving the source code away...not pushing it on anyone....dont like it dont run it...welcome to the open source 12 ways to slove a problem mentality. God forbid the man thinks his work is alright, and somebody might want to read it.
Te big reason (the above to posters missed) is that a tape must be recorded after manufacturing of the tape. 2 sperate steps. the second one involving a bank of high quality tape recorders. CD's on the other had are pressed(not burned) with the music on them. the manufacturing of the media and the recording are the same steps. thats the really big reason.
as a side note. in music contracts these days. the mucisians are chrages per album sold, based onthe fact that CD's are a "new media", as well as for breakage in shipping(something from the vinyle days, wich doesnt happen anymore.

a giant magnetic coil, to aim a(not so light) elctron gun, and the glass is pretty heavy, the tube does have to deal with some decent pressure

Hey. It hink they should hire you with all that money they are saving on these "unwasted cycles".
the point is......they arent getting aything from running distributed apps.
see, there is the rub, before you might even ask somebody if they are driving, they have already consumed enough alchoal to inhibit their decision making ability, as well as cordination.
