Funny that I see 800+ MB/s on many motherboards. On PCI-Express it's nearly double the bandwidth. The PCI-X bus is limiting the InfiniBand interconnect.
Don't forget the M-Audio equipment. I've been using a Delta 1010LT for abotu a year with Cakewalk software and it's been great. Also... M-Audio has linux drivers for the Delta cards!
There was a thread on prosoundweb.com about this same thing.
To top that off almost all the radio stations in my area (Kansas City) add crap tons of compression on top of the already loud mixes. It's so bad you cna hear the compressor "breathe" on some songs.
Most indie bands record with a more natural sound. I think music sound good when it sounds like you are standing right in front of a band and the instruments sound as iff they would were the band set up where your stereo is.
It's the same way with the movies. All the news articles talk about how the high budget sci-fi and action movies (Matrix, LOTR, Hulk) are the most pirated movies where 2 pages before that some "most pirated movie" also set some sort of sales record. Confusing? Sure is to me. It's really hard to prove that people watching a crappy copy of the movie had any effect on it.
mp3.com has gone down hill I REALLY miss the hi-fi streams as I can't stand the lo-fi. I used to just click on the punk stream and enjoy good NEW music while I worked.
I have recently started using Emusic again and have found it to be well worth the money (I realise that it's the same company). I've downloaded quite a few albums; some I used to have but lost, some are new, some are trying out new bands. It's really good and I hope they continue to expand the catalog and keep the price down.
I think things like iTunes is just WAY too expensive. $.99/track? Some of the CDs I listen to have 20 - 25 tracks. That would essentially be a $25 CD. Not when I can buy it the next time the band is on tour for $10!
For years mail order has been tax free across state lines. I understood that it was partly because of which tax rate to use and which state gets it, the buyer's or the seller's.
The AEM unit is ~1500 for the "plug n play" and projected ~1200 for the "race" version. The race version has the same ECU with just a different harness (generic/make your own) and no base fuel/timing map.
Auto tuning is as much of a science as anything else. I know lots of people that figure out suspension changes (spring rates, sway bar thickness, etc) with their own spreadsheets. Fuel/timing programming is pretty straight forward. There are some basic rules that follow when making more power out of an internal combustion engine. The "try and see" is more for unknown new parts, modifications to stock parts, etc. This is mostly for pepole that don't otherwise have the "proper" equipment of a flow bench, dyno, wideband O2 sensor, fine control over fuel/timing maps and so on.
BTW http://www.sema.org/ Look up the Magnusson-Moss act. Also... anything after the cat is fair game, fed laws don't cover anything past that.
The record companies do deserve a cut. Not what they take now, definitely but they put up money, resources and time. They have to recoup the moeny spent for the artist to record, produce, manufacture and advertise. They have to pay the A&R people and the tour managers and producers. Then they also have to turn a profit to keep going.
I completely agree that major labels suck. They take massive cuts, only push certain bands and sneak in lots of bad terms in contracts. However you should get paid for what you do.
Umm... $0.25 is pretty small. That would be $3.75 for a 15 song CD. I would hope that they would give 10 - 20 second "samples" but $0.25 per song is not bad at all!
And I was just about to join a gang because the job market for web development isn't very promising at the moment.
Why don't they train them for more stable jobs? Like something in healthcare or public service. The technology market is flooded anyway. So these people will recieve this training and have all the "promises" and then they won't be able to find a job much better than food service.
Wouldn't the black market and the drug trade seem to have better pay offs?

Actually there are many cards and OSes that let you change the Mac address.
Tulip cards.
Intel EtherExpress Pro 100
Almost all cards for a Sun
This is a short list of the top of my head.
Also, flashing the firmware on a NIC usually changes it's MAC
I have installed, used and deployed Linux on Intel, SPARC, and alpha with massive amounts of success.
Linux runs very well on the Alpha and SPARC (and by SPARC the includes the UltraSPARC). Ask NOAA. They do weather pattern studies with a huge cluster of Alphas running Linux.
I'm sorry to go off on this rant but damn people. Does anyone here read anything other than slashdot? There are well documented benchmarks comparing Linux to Solaris on the SPARC architecture. There are many HUGE installs of Linux powered Alpha clusters. These are generally very well pubicised through the tech industry and the Linux "community".
I think that a lot of people are missing the point and have never beedn in the situation that he is describing
For most of my life I lived in a rural town. To call ANYWHERE outside of that town was long distance. There are still alot of towns like this. In this situation for internet access you pay both your provider and HUGE long distance bills.
I would have had access much sooner had there been something like he is describing.
A lot of the people that post here are like me and spoiled by broadband. Well... That's not available everywhere.
I really hope that I am avoiding the usual MS bashing but aren't they suspiciously getting into everything?
Operatings systems, peripherals, TV networks, ISPs, Gaming consoles....
I think that this is all kind of scary. It's bad enough that they have the desktop OS market in their pocket but now they are trying to get everything in thir control.
I can't believe that the majority of people haven't yet become distrustful of MS. The average person doesn't trust the government, or the company that they work for or even friends and neighbors, but they blindly follow wherever microsoft leads them.
You're not looking at the apps that people are using.
I agree that a full office suite won't work in this context (should but won't). But what about email? Task Management? Directories (A web based interface to your LDAP stuff).
Look at the PalmOS devices. They are "productive." Hotmail is a successfull application even.
DSL at my House is up to 1.5Mbps/128Kbps. That is my bandwidth No one else on the line. Cable does have higher capacity overall but that bandwidth is shared with you, your tv, your neighbors computer and tv and so on. This means that sometimes cable users report ungodly speeds (5-10Mbps) but that's rare and dependant on their neighbors tv viewing habits.
Most cable companies prohibit servers of any type (Comcast @home won't install the equipment if they see a "server" OS). SouthWestern Bell DSL does not have this. They say that you can host websites on any of their DSL packages, but that the $80 one with 5 static ip's makes it easier.
I did however have the cable company call me telling me that cable was 39 times faster than my existing DSL.... My math adds that too.. 58.5 Mbps. I laughed and hung up.
None of my bands have ever been a part of the RIAA andhopefully never will. I wrote it. I recorded it.. I produced it. Not the RIAA. If any of these major "artists" would actually stand up for their rights we wouldn't be in this mess.
There is a reason for the ethics of indie lables and why they have always been and will always be around. Alot of these new "alternative" bands tout their indie and/or punk ethics but I have yet to see one follow through. The cash keeps coming in so it doesn't really affect them.
Actually on my laptop Windows ME boots faster than it comes out of hibernation.
On my old laptop I could use 'apm --suspend' and leave it like that for days, so far this new Toshiba 2805-S201 isn't coming back from a suspend in Linux (let me know if you see anything about it).
Because if you are a commercial entity you want support. Even though you may have great admins and such you still want real support. And getting that from the people that produce the distribution makes a lot of sense.
And Dischord is not your usual record label either.
Whether or not it IS fair use... it should be. As a musician myself, it's really about people hearing your music. It's nice to get something back but hte act is what should be rewarding in and of itself.
I have spent countless thousands of dollars over the years on instruments, equipment, rent, studio time, and most recently hardware and software. Playing regionally we might get gas money and expenses the night of the show covered. If we press a small (500 - 1500) run of CDs we hope to break even.

Ok... so i looked at a document that I created in Word 2000 and saw nothing that even resembled XML.
I would put MHz as more like engine size. HP is an objective number arrived through a standardised test.
Ford Zetec 2.0L - 130HP
Honda 2.0L from S2000 - 240HP
Even though the engines are the same size... the HP test (dyno) show what they actually do with that size.

Most of my bands music is available on mp3.com (here) and our website.
This is only not FAIR when the artists and their labels no longer care about music.
Is it fair use when I buy mp3s from eMusic and burn those to CD? I bought an mp3 not a CD.
