You could at least make it link, if you're trying to con people into going there. It's so much more obvious when it says "humor" and ".swf" right there on the page.
LAME is not necessarily illegal, but use of it or any other MP3 encoder requires a license. If you don't pay several thousand $ for one, you're violating several of the patents on MP3.
The difference between LAME and other encoders is that the makers of most other encoders buy a MP3 license, so you don't have to worry about it. LAME, being a free program, can't afford to buy licenses and therefore is illegal if used the way it is usually used (by home users who've paid nothing).
Companies can use LAME for anything they want as long as they have a MP3 license.
So, for the price of a P4, you could get a dual-processor Athlon? I'd love to the see the benchmarks pitting a P4 against the price-equivilent dual Athlon (and yeah, I know you'd have to use Athlon MP's, but it'd still whoop the P4's ass).
General hint - add 5 to a US grade to get the minimum age at which you start the grade. I.E., a tenth grader would be 15 (possibly 16, if they'd had a birthday during the school year).
Have decent karma (I first got modpoints with 10 karma, but I think it's possible with any positive karma)
Read in an "average" pattern - Slashcode tracks when you log in, and it's more likely to give modpoints to non-obsessive readers. I find that if I check/. about 4-5 times one day, and then don't touch it at all for a day or two, I often have mod points when I come back.
Metamod occasionally - it's not neccessary, but it helps
Be patient
Also, I'm not sure if newer accounts can ever get modpoints. I know metamod is restricted to the oldest ~90% of accounts (currently users with < 512000 UID's), but moderation I'm not sure about. Anyone know?

April Fools Wrap Up
·
· Score: 1
I liked last year's NPR April Fool's story - the one about the company that had developed a way to project ads onto the moon using giant lasers. It Fooled my father for the rest of the week, until they announced it had been a fake.
Posting an April Fool's on March 31? God that's lame! Couldn't they have at least waited a few hours? Yeah, I know it's April 1 in some parts of the world, but when this was posted it was March 31 in the US and most of Europe, and/. is a US site anyway.
Slashdot Mirror
Everything Eazel did was publically released under the GPL, with source available.
Sweet! So I could post "FP!" with a goatse link and a +1 bonus and it'd stay there for 3 hours? Count me in!
Why the hell would you want K-Meleon for Linux when we've already got Galeon?
Troll alert.
Sony Broadcast and Professional and Chrysler would be two examples.

gEdit->AbiWord->OpenOffice
(with apologies to the -1 post this was ripped off from).
That's only cause it was copied straight from k5.
Note that AbiWord does have a KWord export filter.
Especially not a Joint Photographic Expert!

I only get about 30 fps in tuxracer, and I've never noticed any jumpiness.
Perhaps because ogg's legal and lame's not?

Yep. Log out and check for yourself. The "post reply" links are still there, but clicking them leads to a "AC posting disabled" page.
"really small amount" as in 0, right? How the hell are there gonna be *any* AC posts if AC posting is turned off?

Taco removed AC posting not just as an AF, but possibly for several other reasons:
Every time you GoogleWhack, God kills a pigeon.
I really hope this is an April Fool's. Because if it isn't, this will be the last comment I post here and the last time I read here.
Only a room of monkeys? How lame. Google's researching search technology based on infinite monkeys.
