There's no such thing as lossless recording; nothing will ever sound exactly like it did live. But that's not the point; ALAC, FLAC, and so on are lossless in the sense that they take CD-quality audio (the best input available in many cases) and compress it losslessly.
Apple was/is a relatively minor customer. The business from next-gen consoles (all of which use POWER chips) is/will be at least an order of magnitude larger than Apple.
Technically, Firefox for Linux does use GTK for some backend drawing stuff; that's why Firefox packages depend on GTK. The Windows/OSX versions use GDI+ and Quartz respectively.
A potential solution might be to ask questions that a computer simply cannot answer "Will this code halt?"
The halting problem is only unsolvable in general; that is, no computer can decide it for every conceivable piece of code. But it's quite possible, often trivial, in the vast majority of cases. Computers would probably do at least as well as people on that captcha.
If you read the linked TechNewsWorld article, you would realize that it is the exact same as the one on CRM. It's not uncommon or particularly shady for a/. summary to quote the article it links to.
With digital content (like games), there is a free lunch. It doesn't cost Nintendo $50/unit to give out free games; probably more like $5. Once they've made the game, they can give the content away for free if they so desire; the only costs are manufacturing.
People die all the time while laying in beds. No one publishes an article every time it happens, wondering "why beds claim lives". Yet every time someone dies while playing a game, it's big news. Never mind that they've chosen to go for days without eating, drinking, or sleeping; apparently it was the game that killed them.
IANAL, but I don't think OSC would have any legal grounds to sue. The Ender's Game sport isn't patented, trademarked, or copyrighted. Besides, why would OSC want to sue them? He'd probably be delighted to see someone using his ideas.
Sending spam, bouncing viruses to forged From:, worm infection scanning, misconfigured software, DNS problems redirecting traffic to other places or causing bogus queries, Originating DoS attacks, Illegal content hosted by one of your users, that's just a few examples.
And none of those are in any way related to whatever domain name may or may not be associated with the offending machine. My home computer is perfectly capable of spamming, DoSing, hosting illegal content, etc. If you want a registry mapping IP addresses to contact information, then I can see your argument. But a computer does not become any more dangerous when you buy a DNS entry for it.
You can buy a full PC for less money than it takes to purchase Aperture. The point is that a $500 Mac program should do more than a free PC program; it would look very bad for the Mac platform if it didn't.
the ambulance has to arrive. That doubles the time waiting.
Depends on what you're waiting for. If someone needs emergency attention, an ambulance crew can probably get it to them in less time than it would take for you to get to the emergency room.
When your kid falls out of a tree and fractures his left arm safety is driving double the speed limit to ensure the livelyhood of your child.
Bad example. Broken bones aren't particularly time-critical; the only thing speeding will do to a broken arm is jar it and make things worse. You're far better off driving safely to the hospital.
IIRC, Galeon is dying. The developers have basically said that they don't plan to do much further work on it. Instead, they're planning on rolling some of its features into Epiphany.
Google's obviously not turning a profit now because there're no ads. Google doesn't want to officially "release" Google News until they've figured out how to make it profitable without legal problems. That's the problem.

WTF? Why would anyone compare a laptop against watercooled quad G5s? Any Intel chip they went with would be loads faster than the current G4s.

I didn't RTFA, but the summary implies Koolance gave them the parts for free.
Buy your son a DS, tell him it has much better games than the 360 does (or likely ever will), and put the $250 you saved into his college fund.

Someone mod parent up. It's the only sensible comment in this entire discussion.

No, it wouldn't be close. That PC blows the PS2 so far out the water that there's really no comparison.

You have no room to malign the quality of hybrids when you're proposing a vehicle whose exhaust sets its own interior on fire.
You can't run 3.73 mph? Are you serious? I can walk faster than that, and I don't consider myself to be in particuarly good shape.
That's one meaning of "begs the question". Another, equally valid, meaning is as a shortening of "begs us to ask the question".

Yeah, like Bochs is capable of running mplayer at any decent speed.

You don't do that when these domains are likely to cost thousands of dollars each (at the very least).
I would gain a lot of respect for ICANN if they auctioned them off and gave the money to charity. But will they? Almost certainly not.
