But even *that's* different, because the PSX hardware is looking for a boot code that doesnt transfer when the disc is copied (the burner's error correction removes it).
But how will thier copy-pro work for a $50 Walmart CD player?
And on the flipside, lets assume this copy protection does what it is supposed to to, if only initially. Lets also assume cdparanoia (for an example of a beautiful piece of software) releases a patch to defeat the copy protection. Aren't they violating the DCMA, as referenced in the interview with Rep Boucher? What recourse does that leave?
Okay. Traditional jewish (and thereby christian) belief states that God created the world in just 6 days (and spent some time chillin' afterwards). Now, how long is a day in the eyes of God? Could it be that we humans have been alive for mere minutes relative to Him? Seems to me that whoever created the universe was all about subtlety. After all, patience is a virtue in any religion...
And people forget that the bible was written by man. Divinely inspired, but still written by man. There are centuries of oral tradition bound up in that book, with stories much older than modern writing. We all played 'telephone' in grade school. It makes sense that some things, well, may NOT have gone exactly like the book says. But its still not a bad place to look for clues.
So what does all this make me? Can you be a creationist that believes in evolution?
They're bitching because of people doing NAT?! What would this mean if one were to run a firewall, with a single desktop host behind it?
And likewise, how can they tell? NAT can mangle the packets so they all originate from one host. Micro$oft's ICS does the same thing.
I'm not surprised that the telco silenced the petition site. The petitioners were goofy for hosting it on the aforementioned telco company's DSL network.
Cold is fine as long as the components can warm up slowly (good fan cooling despite the ambient already being chilly). That'll keep solder joints from going brittle and will keep the drive platters from minute warpage.
At this point SMP doesnt play nicely with power management. You enable it, and DPMS *will* be automatically disabled by the kernel. Timing issues or something (I'm no kernel hacker).
But I'm fairly certain that the CPU's still do HLT commands. I've run some dualie servers with the case off (watching the LEDs on the RAID controller) and the CPUs ran CONSISTANTLY cooler than the same model box doing NT. And as any overclocker (or some laptop users) will tell you, heat = more watts fed in.
But really the problem with most servers isnt the actual CPU. Its the rows of case fans, redundant power supplies, and 10k rpm SCSI drives that suck the most of it up (ever seen the inside of a Dell 6450?). And you really can't put any one of those devices to sleep without reducing the usability and/or stability of the machine.
IIRC, Google uses an algorithm that, based on a combination of HTML tag size and logged click-throughs would sort the links. Neato-keen.
Well, about a year ago when google was still young and fresh, you could type in your search strings, hit the "I'm Feeling Lucky" and get EXACTLY what you wanted. Blew me away time and time with its strange accuracy.
But, as more of that click-thru data got integrated into the sifting, I got more and more of the crap that the sheep (ie, normal mom and pop AOLer types) wanted to look up. What the hell, man. Don't get me wrong, I still use google, but now I have to scan three pages deep before relevant pages come up.
No. That's NOT the same, since by not eating there you are statistically still useful to them. ie:
McD's Marketing: Only 58% of the populace likes our burgers. Huh. How 'bout that. We should fix that.
If you steal dish, they don't know you exsist in any way, so they assume that you don't like thier service. Nevermind that you're raping them for it every time you flip on the tube... so at the very least what you're doing is dishonest regardless of it being theft. Which I still hold it to be.
Actually, you *are* taking something from them. If you subscribe to thier service, they know what channels you are capable of watching, and can tell the actual HBO people (for instance) that they have 18 million viewers and want to be billed as such (I can only think that as the number of viewers increases the actual cost to the provider decreases due to an increase in effectiveness of advirtising). So its not JUST your monthly billing statement that they are losing out on.
So if they increase thier profits by having more subscribers, you *are* stealing from them, in a very real sense.
I'd have to say its your 32Mb of RAM. E is a memory hog (all those pixmaps).
I like E. E is swankish as far as fine tuning your personal usability settings. But on my laptop, its BlackBox all the way. PII 266 with 64MB of RAM. From the time I hit startx to the time I get my inital aterm started is under 4 seconds. Can't beat that with a stick, man.
Now that they're at 100fsb, they should be a little easier to overclock. The systems nowadays don't overclock as well (as a rule of thumb) as they used to. This means that all of the motherboards with the nice increments between 100 and 112 will be of use. It'll keep the PCI clock more stable. About half the time I've overclocked, it hasn't been the chip that couldn't handle a speed I've been shooting for but the IDE drives, PCI SCSI card, etc etc.
This is true. You can't bash personal taste. And I will admit that a few select NiN tunes are mainstream. But if you've heard his newer work (The Fragile), I think you'd have to retract that "NiN is Pop" statement. POPular, maybe, but Trent isnt about album sales. I'm sure he likes music, but we aint gonna see him on a lunchbox.
I'd buy a Trent doll, tho...
PS: Here's the obvious point where the AC Troll whips out the 'faggot' remarks.
Yep. That's them singing the MitM tune. Likewise, every once in a while, you'll hear snippets of some of thier other tunes in the midst of the show. Personally, I think its a great match. Quirky compliments quirky.
I've heard, though, that there were certain copywright issues with "Instanbul" on Tiny Toons -- hence the reason that rerun hasnt been seen since. I used to watch Tiny Toons regularly JUST to try and catch that episode. Never have. Maybe the days I didn't catch it were the ones it ran.
I know, I must be a bit of a freak. Hell I recently went out of my way and got digital cable JUST to watch the Gummi Bears.
ANYWAY, is there any truth, fellow/.ers, to the copywright issue?
But you *do* have to worry about the writes. I mean, you'd need to suspend everything into the EEPROM when you shutdown. Kinda like laptops do now with the suspend to disk feature?
Unless you just wanted to store your kernel and whatnot in ROM. I've done that with a FLASHCARD in a linux router. Neat, but it still takes time to boot up.
OR consider the kernel. If you wanted to upgrade your OS, you'd have to rewrite those chips. Messy, messy. When the old Macs were made, I don't think they had upgrading the OS in mind...
You know, if a business model sucks, then it won't generate revenue. Napster, at $5, is still an incredible bargain. I mean, we expected that the napster folks would have to generate a revenue stream at some point. So like, we deal.
My question is, will Napster continue to have artists OTHER than BMG signed groups?
Man pages are a little on the archaic side for the newbie. Most of them assume you have a good handle on how your shell works before they become really useful. Often they'll tell you that if you want a certain functionality (forcing 'ps' into BSD behaviour for instance) you'll have to set an environment variable. That's pretty shell-dependant.
I'd say man pages are a good intermediate trainer. But I am willing to bet money that if you give an average newbie (whom we'll assume is fimiliar with DOS Zip) the tar man and tell them to archive/home, they won't have it in a half hour. Sure, a whiz-bang smart one will, but I'd say that's a rarity.
I've got the 4000...none of the problems you're discribing.
But otherwise, I like the Sprint plan I have. If you're doing nationwide travelling, and you'll be in Metro areas, mainly, it might be something to consider. Their plans offer free nationwide long distance, and for $50 (and some change), I got 500 minutes + 500 evening weekend. Only downside is that there are still areas of the nation that don't have Sprint PCS (like the nothern half of WI). That means nasty old analog roaming.
