Actually, stepping down AC voltage is one of the most efficient energy conversion processes man has ever produced (we can get up to ~99.75% efficiency).
I agree, and that is the number one reason I think Jobs' DRM 'open letter' is just a giant bluff. They basically put DRM on the installation of their OS, and no record company is forcing them to.
"The rest of us are either too enervated by the constant demands of noblesse oblige and tax avoidance, or too busy scrambling to pay the rent on time, to give much thought to play."
Way to 'join in with the sympathetic crowd'. I really doubt the author is in the lower class, what with having a nice enough computer (at the time) to play second life on and all.
YouTube faces the same thing. Each somewhat professional looking clip that I ever seen on there that happens not to be owned by someone else, inevitably has lifted music.
Haha, that supposes it hasn't already happened. I suspect they are picking some random genes, saying 'these are the ones you guys should focus on,' while in secret they have already analyzed them and deteremined they are useless. That way, the competition spins it's wheels while they investigate other, more promising, genes.
Should kids get a criminal record for every dumb thing they do? Since criminal records get expunged when you turn 18, these kids won't get one. What is your point?
I must say I agree with this random YouTube comment: "Throw those assholes in jail! Their actions adversely disrupted public operations, and cost the city tons of money and time."
The city officials this comment is talking about certainly should be thrown in jail, they are guilty of all the things this comment brings up.
"an obvious target if you wanted to advertise to people stuck in traffic and (I'll leave this one cause it actually is true, haha) cause major transportation disruption.
"That is, if you hand a compressed block to the MP3 decoder, you could get back an uncompressed block of any size, "
What he said was correct. You just went on to babble about how what he said was correct. I guess it could depend on what he meant by 'block', did he mean frame, or did he mean chunk of x bytes? I think you know and I know that he meant chunk of x bytes.
It represents more than 50% of gross because you're a dumbass. You're repeating a stupid argument that has been made in published irrefutable fact books and is verified thoroughly by professional industry analysts, so I'll respond with his usual answer:
I'm an old man who is out of date and didn't realize that people watch Dee Vee Dees more than people watched VHS tapes.
"While record companies are spending money to actually produce the music, Apple only needs to make enough to cover their costs of running the store. Therefore, Apple doesn't need to worry very much about piracy."
All those commercials with black shadow people gyrating around are free to produce and air?
Oh sure, 'it's not that you're good, it's just that everyone else is worse'. Yeah, everyone else is worse. Do you also think everyone has it in for you?
The problem is small businesses, who bring along a correspondingly small benefit, don't get a correspondingly small kickback. They get nothing. So the whole system of this sort of corporate welfare is biased towards massive corporations.
You are totally off. People link to stories using their headlines. That is where the Google ranking will primarily come from, the anchor text in people's links.

Neurotransmitters tend to be ions which do create electrical signals.
A sex non-bombshell with big tits and a belly shirt? Gamers really have insane standards.

Why don't you bug off and read a book or something? Divest the world from its story? What, it's predictable crappy video game story? No thanks.

So if the first 30 seconds sounded ok, and the next 4:30 were some guy burping Ol' McDonald Had A Farm, what then?

For the same stupid reason you made your lame follow up post. Thinking about it a little more, they aren't that's not the reason at all.
They aren't growing these plants in deserts; if we didn't grow them other plants would grow in their place.
Are you an idiot? What's your max recursion depth anyway? Isn't it obvious? BAN WINTER.

It also mentioned open/unsolved problems. This isn't one of them. (there are windows driver wrappers that can, along with the driver, do it)

It is very common for people in IT/programming to believe they are the top shit. I'm not saying you are or you aren't, but I'm just saying is all.

Will this be using windows or unix line breaks? Or mac?
