For example, a good system playing load music will still allow people to tlak in a normal voice and be heard.
I guarantee you that when driving down the 210 freeway in my del Sol with the top off and the latest Testament album cranked up (which I did recently, what with the abnormally warm weather we've been having), you're going to need to talk over the music or turn the music down. CD or iPod, expen$ive system or my decent one; it doesn't matter. Covering up road noise? Ha! I just want it loud, baby! Woo hoo!
You didn't need to be that old. I started 1980 punching cards for Fortran programming like all the engineering students. I don't think they changed this until 82.
At UCSB, the EEs were doing this. The CSs got to use CRTs and Pascal (C, eventually).
There are plenty of people around the world who would describe the U.S. government, and the current administration in particular, as evil. Let me guess: they're all unreasonable, right?
Lilo and Stitch wasn't really a Disney product anymore than a Pixar movie is. It was created by Disney's now shutdown FL studio and was a skunkworks project until it scored *big* with test audiences and the suits took notice.
Don't be silly. Everybody knew Lilo was in production. Florida isn't in Burbank but to say the show operated as some sort of "skunkworks" project or that it wasn't really a Disney product is just nonsense.
I'm 42 and so old that I have boring cars. They're so not 'with it' that they don't work so well with USB drives. How lame is that? So I also use my over-hyped iPod to play my cool MP3 files.
Actually, at work I do run the iPod's line out into an amp and then into the headphones. I think that's cool but I'm a geek:-).
I have over 22,000 songs in my home jukebox (iTunes), legally purchased (well, except for a dozen or so;-), some in the form of vinyl that I've enjoyed for 30 years. I've never run into the DRM wall with my iTMS purchases. Who cares about WMA? Anybody? I don't wear earbuds because those nice Sennheisers sound so much better. And I usually never see those advertisements because Apple doesn't do a whole lot of advertising during "Good Eats".
Hype? The oh-so-easy-to-use iPod let's me listen to my whole collection at work. That's not hype, that meets my needs.
An animated movie isn't an island. You can learn how things were done in previous shows by actually looking at how they did it. Digging into the storyboard, layouts, sets, etc. can be very helpful. During the movie if artists needed to see what Wallace's bedroom looked like previously, they didn't have to look at the DVD and try and construct a 3D model in their minds--they could actually go and look at the sets used in the previous shows. Blueprints, too, I would imagine. Then there is the world of licensing. In the CG world all that stuff is kept around in digital files. In the analog world, you have warehouses.
And unless we are talking about established bands with many albums (and renegotiated contracts) under their belts, the artists never see any of the money from so-called 'legal' downloads either.
iTunes == legal downloads. I'm sorry if you confused yourself. It probably happens often so I expect you're be used to it by now.
It's no big deal if we lose a few to them, and a smart person would either stay away from their habitats, or learn how to avoid them and also how to fight them if necessary.
I'll let you lead the "How to Fight a Mountain Lion" class's sparring session;-).
That's quite an evangelical crowd you have in the White House, growing the government and the budget like never before. Yeah, the small government crowd ties in real nice with the evangelicals.
From the site, "Stick with single-button simplicity or click with multibutton efficiency." *suggests* that they've known all along that the single button is less efficient.
Just because you have a degree in Computer Science doesn't make you an Engineer. I know plenty of "Software Engineers" who don't know what an ABET accredited engineering program is.
Just because one knows what an ABET accredited engineering program is, doesn't make one a software engineer.
[The] code doesn't need documentation because "they've already documented the hell out of the project". And guess what, that code may be thrown away in 5 years or so anyway because there's a better way of doing things.
They better document the code because the paper documentation they wrote will be long way before the code is.
Elegance?? Are we talking about the same language?
You know the difference between a dance performed by a brilliant dancer and the same one performed by a no-talent hack? Elegant code is just like that dance.

...from a professional standpoint, unless you have to maintain some legacy system that uses Perl, or an interest in historical programming languages, there is very little point in learning Perl.
From a professional standpoint, there are plenty of open positions at the very large company I work for that call for Perl in new development projects. Methinks your bias is showing.

That's cool and I don't doubt you but how do you know that gets "optimized away at compile time"?

If an album/single is only available in a lossy format, is it really lossy anymore?

They just posted that live updates aren't allowed for this event so they won't be able to cover it until afterwards. Interesting.

What crap. There are tons of indie bands on iTunes. If an indie band is not seeing $$ from their iTunes downloads it's because nobody is buying them.
Didn't anybody ask if he meant the CEO of Enron? :-)
