send the money that you would have spent on the movie or cd to an organization that supports or lobbies in your interest. If you can't find any, create one. Work with others.
Also, write your local representative and tell them what you are doing and why. Let them know, in a nice way, how you feel. Check their voting record. If they've been nice, maybe contribute to their campaign. If you don't have the cash, maybe you can volunteer some time.
The main thing is do something. Less talk, more action.
Software applications communicate to the Digi hardware through the DAE software. I haven't heard of plans to port the DAE to Linux btu I left Digi before MacOSX came out (I wasn't an engineer either).
There is a customer forum on their site and I know their Customer Service people really try hard to answer all the questions. Try posting a polite message.
Just remember, they're business driven. They need to feel like there is a financial reason to do development or that development done by outside people won't hurt their business. Or, you can buy enough shares in Avid and demand changes.
I guess poor people aren't allowed to have their imaginations stimulated.
An eBook only release would raise the cost of access above what many would be willing or are able to spend. Do we really want this as a trend in our society? Knowledge only for those who can afford it.
People forget that no one is forcing us to buy CDs.
The record industry is a for-profit organinzation. They respond to record sales. They will not stand behind a technology that hinders sales (regardless that they say they're doing for the artist). Don't buy the CD. Buy CDs from artists and labels that use what you consider fair technology. Find labels that give their artists fair royalty deals and support the crap out of them!
Put some pressure on the artists, too. Tell them that you respect their work but you're not going to buy their new CD because it uses 'X' technology. Force them to have a say about how their art is distributed. And respect their decision. Protest but don't steal.
Breaking the copy-protection to steal the information is lame. Why should people get to steal a loaf of bread because they don't like the baker. Make your own damn bread and give it away.
Note - Breaking the copy-protection to prove the protection is lame is cool. You be your own jury.
I don't mind the ads if they have content that's of my interest. I'd vote for the system that allows me to set the category of advertising.
I'd also like the ability to adjust the percentage allowed in of advertising outside of my selected interest. You might find something cool that you could have missed.
The problem I have with the karma is that people are clicking on ads just to gain points. This runs out the impression count that the advertiser has paid for faster and corrupts the data on whether the ad was effective. In the end, I don't think the advertisers would go for this.
Yeah, I cringe at most of the things the goverment does. But do we realize how HUGE a society we live in? And for the most part, it works! Anything that doesn't work is our fault for letting it be that way.
The cool thing about the US is that WE THE PEOPLE, can get elected to office and work to make changes (yes, it does require work). And these changes can happen without a single drop of bloodshed. It's not a perfect system that's gone bad. It's an imperfect system that requires lots of upkeep.
Now if everyone would just leave the silicon valley.
I think this is a problem with LinuxToday and not/.
I was reading an article on LinuxToday about
SQL and DELETE and went to click on a related link listed below the story:
O'Reilly Network: AboutSQL: Filtering SELECTed Data with WHERE(Nov 11, 2000) . The link took me to the same article about data storage.
My guess is that the story probably was there before some piece of code went bad. Interesting use of a 404 error.
I'm curious if they had a breakdown of the amount of time spent by engineers ranting on/.

I like the idea of using a touch-screen, computer based ballot at the voting booths. I envision the system storing the vote encrypted to the drive as well as a barcoded printout for backup.
Rather than use the wide open Internet (which opens risk from foriegn attacks), I would suggest a private network much like the banking industry uses.
I feel an electronic ballot system would solve the problems of entering multiple values for a single choice item and a confirmation screen would insure that the correct vote is being sent.
My concern with this type of system would be cost, adoption of technology (do we have enough skilled people throughout the country to keep the system running), and what to do about absentee ballots.
I think it's the fact that the story singles out religion as some sort of source of expertise. It's like going to the marketing department to get an opinion on a piece of technology. Just makes my skin crawl.
The odd day example views the year digits individually. Otherwise the year 1600 would be even and more recent than 888. If 1999 is viewed as [1, 9, 9, 9], a 1 is not prime (according to Merriam-Webster).
The next prime year would be 2222. The next prime date would then be 2-2-2222. A most Odd prime date.

Someone should make sure all the copies of M$ Word the RIAA and MPAA use to create these memos are licensed and accounted for.
I forget, which side represented the consumer? Was it the RIAA or Microsoft?
'NC' is the prefix for US registered aircraft
Here's some information about how the abbreviation works.

I get taxed at almost 30%!
The goverment would find plenty of money with a lower tax rate if they were truely accountable for what they spend.
The IRS should have the ability to crack down on those who waste our taxes just as hard as they persue those who don't pay taxes.
Stop voting for politicians who take their own and corporate interests above the interests of the people they represent.

What about an ad slashbox?
I'm curious, did the NSA have any say in what could be done with the land?

I don't care that Slade has an issue with the GPL. But why not have it with his own original project? Why drag ID, and their source code, into it?
Surely, if Slade has such problems with the license and a major desire to create games, he would write his own program.
Nothing like somebody wanting to fight a battle from someone else's backyard.
