While Jack was quite the luddite in his waning years, he was instrumental in replacing the movie industry's repressive http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_Code">Hays Code [no sex, nudity, excessive violence, etc.] with the less-evil MPAA classification system. He also opposed the "clean DVD" proposal which would've seen sanitised versions of films -- a dangerous idea, if there ever was one.
Not all of us are pure evil, and Jack has to be applauded for moving the industry in the right direction. I only hope his successor is a forward-thinking visionary.
Where can you buy -archival- quality these days? - down under...
Get either Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim discs. The latter is easily found [my favourite is the 16x DVD+R discs made by CMC -- look for the serif font used for OPEN <-> LOCK on the cakebox. Sans-serif indicates Prodisc.], but you can get Taiyo Yuden from:
Camera write speed tests alway have SD working faster than MMC.
I suspect they may be deliberately crippling MMC to seed the SD market. Both SD and MMC share the same form factor and interface; logically, there is no reason why one should perform better than the other.
No SD please, we're British

Perhaps some SD and other memory card-tricks will follow.
But, FYI, if you avoid those 2 things, you will never be hassled. Even (or perhaps especially) if you are wearing a turban and muttering, "Muhammad, Jihad." repeatedly under your breath.
Wall Street suggests in a recent Article that Apple is about to announce a deal with Google, to offer Apple's iTunes Music service through its site.
That's MAJOR news indeed.
If it turns out to be right, it would be a great deal for both sides, as Apple will gain a wider audience for its music service iTunes through the enormous base of Google visitors, and Google too will at last have a music service to offer, like Yahoo did a while ago. No need for Google to start its own Music Service, they'll have the best Music Service by their side, what could be better than that.
This is very exciting cooperation between two of the biggest and most influential companies in the Tech World, and it has never crossed my mind, until now.
The 802.11g spec does not mandate WPA; however, most modern cards and APs support it. While WPA has no known serious weaknesses, choose WPA2-compatible hardware if you're yet to purchase wireless equipment.
The real contender is WPA2, which employs the far stronger AES symmetric algorithm in place of RC4, and adds much-desired features such as fast roaming:
Why can't they just advertise their service by saying "it's the ORGNINAL and EXACT reproduction of the artist's music" or something to that effect instead of just crushing the tab sites?
That's because they MAY NOT be original and exact reproductions.
There are a few Steve Vai and Joe Satriani tab books that state this disclaimer (in the foreword, not on the cover or would you buy it?) but considering the speed at which they play, it's almost forgivable...
...publishing the tabs without permission is the equivalent to hacking into Microsoft's computers, stealing the source code to Win98 and posting it online for the world to see.
You are way off base. Tab writers do not "hack" into the songwriter's secret archive, get exact note-by-note tabs and then post it to the net. They reverse-engineer the song through listening and figuring out what the notes are BY EAR.
By the way, you are aware that even tab publishers [Cherry Lane, et al] do not guarantee note-for-note accuracy?
Digital River must be fanatically sticking to The Microsoft Code of Business Ethics. Here is the message I got when trying to access my local Simtel mirror
The Simtel.Net web pages are no longer supported
on this server. On January 15, 2001, Digital River, Inc.
(the owner of Simtel.Net) terminated its contract with
Petersen Data Management, Inc.
(Keith B. Petersen, et al), due to lack of funding. Mr. Petersen
had previously provided archive management and associated support
services for Simtel since 1983.
Of course, Simtel.net is still up, but it's now a slick, flashy reincarnation that stinks of corporatism. No more of that simple layout we held close to our hearts.

Surely this is not a reincarnation of a failed Sony "innovation"? Do they send a reader with it? Will it run on solar power?

Secure Digital cards support the SDMI copy-protection spec (secure from you, not for you), thus opening "a Pandora's box of new marketing possibilities".
Stick to MMC (MultiMediaCard), which is essentially SD minus the copy-crippling mechanism.

A subtle, yet important clarification: followers of the Sikh faith wear turbans, not Arabs or Muslims.

doesn't .11g have WPA TKIP

WPA2 overview.
If your hardware supports it, use WPA2. If not, settle for nothing less than WPA, as WEP is a joke and trivial to break into.
I Wonder whether its usage can contribute to cancer down the track?
I think ... your wrong.
However, I think you're wrong.
