Wow, no seriously. I thought by the time they start holding "hearings" and such, it's too late to do anything. I guess our goverment isn't completely broken.
Tower record parties on Newbury Street in Boston are nonexistent anymore. Just 3-4 years ago they were incredible with radio staion vans parked everywhere and hundreds of people croweded around.
Yes, but the units have been produced and shipped at this point, so there is no chance to fix any problems now. Unless they do some massive recall/crosship type deal... (doubtfull). Face it... you'll be receiving your regular X-Box service packs, just like any other Microsoft Product.
Does anyone think this is useful? Yes, M$ has the right to sell whatever fucked up version of protected audio there is, and publishers have the right to *ATTEMPT* to market this crap. We have the right to refuse to buy it, and show them it won't sell. But what purpose does this crack have? Yes, I guess it shows that besides not being popular, it's also no secure... but won't people just use this to go rip protected.WMA files now?
Hmm, I guess actually this ties in pretty closely with some points announced in microsoft's argument against "full-disclosure". Some would argue unless this stuff is widely deployed (the crack that is), then the music publishers won't ever beleieve it's been "broken", since theoretically breaking something doesnt pose much of a financial risk.
But you still have the equivelent of the "script-kiddy" mentality at work here. How many people do you think are downloading this right now, so they can go get the latest Christina Aguilera album online, then crack it and "release" it to their l33t w4rez group? *sigh*
Will "Beale Screamer" become the next Sklyarov? You'll notice he was smart, and released it anonymously, and not live in front of a crowd known to contain feds;-)
"...an administrator doesn?t need to know how a vulnerability works in order to understand how to protect against it, any more than a person needs to know how to cause a headache in order to take an aspirin"
This is STUPID.
Headache's have known remedies, fresh exploits DO NOT.
Find a new ISP. Vote with your wallet. If they are screwing around and limiting the usefullness of their server for you, then find a new ISP which is more accomadating.
Yes, but my apartment complex wouldn't take too nicely to me running cat-5 through the parking lot to the pool =) I'm definately looking forward to this.
The Quadro-based workstation renders a single frame in four-tenths of a second, allowing for an interactive, real-time CG scene. For comparison, a single frame from the original movie took over 90 minutes to render.
Yes, but I doubt the image quality is anywhere near as good. C'mon...
I'm not sure what to call my service. It was originally Mediaone Roadrunner. It was then changed to AT&T @Home but I still go to pages branded AT&T Roadrunner for support... *shrug*
Aside from the naming confusion, I couldn't be happier. I've had a connection for well over a year now. I get 300k upload and always a full 1.54Mbit downlink (thats 180KB or 1500Kbit/sec). So, T1 basically. It's always that fast unless the site I'm visiting can't keep up.
Very little downtime. I think the longest outtage (and only once) was for about 20 minutes or so. Typical pings to anything on the east coast is 40-50ms.
It's DHCP, and I've had the same IP address leased for the last 14 months or so. So it's basically static IP.
I run a Linux NAT/Firewall with 5-6 machines behind it, run a host of servers. I do run my own mail server, so I can't vouch for the quality of the AT&T's, since I don't use it. But they're Usenet server is OUTSTANDING... every group, at 1.5Mbit throughput... about 3 hops away. Life is great. I hope the quality remains if they get purchased.
I'd highly recommend AudioCatalyst 2.1 from Xing (Actually now owned by RealNetworks)...$30 or so. Works great, rips, encodes and names (via CDDB) at 8x in one pass on my box.
Oh, but wait, it's not open source, free and it doesnt run under linux so dont even consider it... Sheesh.
Ok, this is obvious, but I need to vent my frustrations. Is it just me or can anyone else even BELEIVE this lawsuit even exists?!?! *checks watch* is it somehow April 1st again?
Just bought a Wacom Graphire pen tablet yesterday (4x5in active area). It comes with a program called
Sensiva (windows) that does just this, it works with windows in general and has plugins to customize with new gestures for different apps.
Server side script rarely consumes a lot of processor cycles. I beleive the database server and other libraries that you call out to make a much larger impact in speed.
It's all a matter of optimizing the slowest part for the largest gain. Optimizing the script will result in much less improvement than say, switching to a faster database server.
Also next in line would be the web server that is hosting the application. Some scripting languages are possible more efficient than others but that only matters if you're doing a lot of processor intensive things within the script (mathematical calculations, etc) which is rarely the case.

No, I think that's just cause music sucks now.

.4FPS is NOT the same as "Four-tenths of a second per frame" which is it?

Now we just need to work on the Power over IP implementaion. ACIP encapsulation?
Hmm... I can see it now.
