Um, besides the fact that Linux's USB support is less than dismal at the moment, how are you going to find a USB controller for that particular CPU? This isn't x86-land where everything just works.

"I'm not saying it isn't useful, I'm not saying it isn't a solid OS. It is. The problem is the perception of it."
So you're not using it out of spite? That seems incredibly, mind-bogglingly fucking retarded. "Oh, it works really well but the skript k1ddi3z use it too so we might get shunned by our peers." In reality, your peers are probably all laughing at you. I know I am.

I see what you mean. It's completely true that the judge in this case made his decision based on how cool it would make him look in the eyes of his peers. He can now hang out with the other judges in their chic black robes at the raquetball club and talk about how evil AOL is and how crappy Microsoft's software is too. The other judges will hail him as eleet. He will be kewl.

Slashdot (AP) - "Boy, did we cut that one close!" exclaimed an exasperated Rob Malda Thursday morning as popular tech-news website Slashdot.org just barely fulfilled its Amiga Vapor Quota for the week. Local mob bosses appear satisfied. "I'm glad for mister Malda," Lenny Botacelli said. "Another day passed, I'd've had my boys break his legs."

It's about 5% alcohol - the same as Budweiser. Belgian beer's the strong stuff, if you can stomach it. I tend to be more of a liquor person myself, but I can appreciate a good beer.

All the guy seems to do nowadays is whine. I guess he's upset that he's no longer the only hardware site out there and that he's no longer the best site out there either. He should set up a separate server for hardware reviews and just rename the current one tom-rants-about-everything.com. Plus, his Intel and 3dfx brownnosing got on my nerves last year.

It really doesn't make much sense to complain about something you've really no God-given right to do in the first place. I'm sure you can still up the bus speed if you're hell-bent on overclocking a 550 MHz CPU, but, at that speed, who the hell needs to overclock?

When the UPS man comes skipping up to your door, not even struggling to carry the box your brand new Transmeta-fied Amiga with the super-duper 3d comes in, and you open it up to find it full of packing material and nothing else you'll know not to trust people that have said, "It's coming now" for the past few years. (I heard news about this 3D card a *long* time ago, back before 3D cards were anything to speak about. This is non-news to me...)

Joe Torre's been manager since the mid 90's, and, as long as he doesn't retire, he's not going anywhere anytime soon. Before that, Showalter was there for a good 3 or 4 years. I can't think of many other teams who have only had two or three managers in *this* decade. Blue Jays? Nope. Gaston's gone. Red Sox? Nope. They've had a half dozen or so. Braves? Okay, maybe, but all Bobby Cox has to do is show up with the pitching he has on that team. Mets? Nope. Expos? Maybe; they *know* they suck and no manager can help *that* (have they canned Alou?) Orioles? Nope. Rangers? Nuh-uh.
It's common knowledge that, when a team is doing poorly, the manager is the first to go. It's no surprise that the Yankees went through quite a few managers in the late 80's. Name me a few teams who keep managers longer than the Yanks have held onto Torre. however.

It still doesn't make EULAs enforceable. Sure, it *says* it does, but an agreement implies that both parties are in concurrance. How can I agree to something (the EULA) that I haven't even seen until I've opened the package, which, at times, constitutes "acceptance" of certain EULAs?
Congress is trying to pass yet another Big Business pipe dream, and, even if they do so, it'll get shot down, either in whole or bit by bit, in court.

This is the same encoder used in Audio Catalyst for Windows - it beats the snot out of everything else out there, hands down.
I'm sure you'd be able to write a shell script or something (or use one of the many frontends for rippers/encoders) to encode entire cds.
