Within the last year, both record (CDs) stores near our campus have closed.
Yup. If things don't get better for my industry, pretty soon I'll have to close my buggy whip store.
I don't buy magazines or newspapers anymore, but because there's no straw man of "piracy" to point the finger at, nobody's saying it's my fault that the print medium is hurting. The world is changing, and the parts of the world that depend on it not changing are going to suffer.
When will these fuckers get it? a buck a song? Fuck THAT.
One step at a time. In order to get them to go along with DRM-free stuff there had to some "convincer" in the deal. Prices will come down over time. I personally don't think more than about $0.25 is right, but that's just me, and I don't expect them to get to that price.
And since this was the Southern Hemisphere, they did it counter-clockwise.
(I know it's the other way around, but it doesn't sound as good.)
Re:Textmate had me at customizable snippets...

Oh noes! Not a feature that exists in both Emacs and Vim!
Do you read your own links? From the emacs one:
;; A quick stab at providing a simple template facility like the one;; present in TextMate (an OSX editor). The general idea is that a;; snippet of text (called a template) is inserted into a buffer;; (perhaps triggered by an abbrev)
And from the vim one:
snippetsEmu : An attempt to emulate TextMate's snippet expansion
So amazingly, this young whippersnapper has a feature that both these mature editors are taking "a quick stab at" and "attempt to emulate."
I don't see any try in the back, which means it has to curl up from the bottom. But every page comes flat, no curl whatsoever.
You do agree that paper is actually coming out of the printer, don't you? If so, it must be coming from somewhere, even if the demo is rigged.
I don't think calling a research company a "patent whore" is a strong argument, either. Many inventors license their inventions to manufacturers.
I mean trying to stop people DESCRIBING an event...
They're not saying you can't describe it. They're saying you can't use their description of it. In other words, the announcer's words. A very similar "notice" has been used for decades by baseball broadcasters. So similar, in fact, that there might be copyright issues;-)
Is that "common errors" book yours? If so, please consider an entry for "faster than," as in "Version 2.0 is two times faster than version 1." Clearly it should be "as fast," and if the example means anything at all it should be the equivalent of three times as fast.
The SEC needs to go after the spammers, not the stocks.
It's not very likely that the companies are completely innocent. All sorts of crap goes on. Often the entire company exists only to try to fleece unsophisticated investors.
No, there's a 50/50 chance they "solve" the mystery.
I make the line about 0.9999999/0.0000001. One side is a perfectly reasonable explanation, while the other side implies some completely unknown effect.

Why so glum? Now you can look forward to it even longer.
And the roads. Don't forget the roads. And sanitation.

Say, you're not this guy, are you?
Are you basing that statement on past results?
Until you want to sell it. Then you should probably call it a MacBook Pro.

I think you ought to read his post one more time.

But I'm still skeptical.
You can say that again.
I don't know Portuguese, but in Spanish you would say "mas rapido" because, well, there's really no direct equivalent to "as" (in this context).
I'd say it's you overlooking the word "the." They don't say "an," which would be necessary to support your position.

Figure that out and you've got a shot at a Nobel Prize.
What are you, some kind of phrase Nazi? (heh.)

That was never five minutes.
I'm not sure why, but you've got me chuckling here :-)
And oh yeah, so you don't forget, call before midnight tonight.
Well then, I'm guessing you won't be on his Christmas card list this year. ;-)

You mean like wriggling out of handcuffs?
And between you and the faithful optimist, who is more likely to raise a family?
