This thing is huge! I suppose if you're into that sort of thing it's good but I just do all of my synthesis in software using Native Instruments' Reaktor.
Winamp 5 is Winamp 2 with some support for things that Winamp 3 had (like freeform skins) molded over the top. It's like going from C to C++. Winamp 5 supports all Winamp 2 plugins natively too. So don't install freeform skins and other stuff not included in Winamp 2 when you install Winamp 5 and you'll have the next version of Winamp 2 staring back at you.
You can definately steal the "keys" with biometrics like you can steal passwords. You can cut off hands and remove eyes from sockets can't you? I think biometrics just makes it tougher for the "cleaner" criminals to steal your stuff/bypass security.
I don't think these will replace cds. Why not replace CDs with DVD or something more practical? Whatever it is it MUST be lossless because no artist will tolerate the original distribution being in a lossy format. That's crap1
Nice to hear that some stuff has low-latency ALSA drivers for it, I didn't know that.
My point is that while solutions may exist for linux, everything I've seen is still lacking compared with the powerhouse apps like Reaktor and Cubase. It would be nice if the big wigs would just port their stuff to linux, but hey it might happen with open source too. If it does though I still think the movie industry is going to be partly responsible for the development that results in widespread professional adoption of open-source linux based sequencers/synths/samplers/etc...
Two things need to happen before Linux can be used in a digital audio setting:
1. Drivers for at least one professional audio card need to be written for linux. I would expect to see multi-channel recording, midi, and ASIO 2.0 drivers at the very least. 2. Applications like Cubase, WaveLab, Sonar, and Reaktor need to become available for linux.
We've still got quite a long way to go before this becomes a reality, but if hollywood keeps using Linux for movies then eventually they might start demanding it for their scorers. The movie industry is key in making professional Linux audio a reality.
I've known this for a while now. It's clear that since a lot of people are moving to NAT to try and protect themselves from viruses and worms exploiting windows vulnerabilities, as well as people sharing service from a single ISP, that IPv4 is here to stay until v6 is legislated into effect.
MP3 really is a terrible format. Ogg Vorbis at the 5.5 quality setting sets even MPEG-2 AAC on fire and dances on the remains. That's as far as lossy formats go though; I still want lossless.
I won't buy music via online distribution systems until they can distribute them in lossless formats like Shorten, FLAC, WavZip/Pack, or Monkey's Audio.
You can't perform speech processing with a computer until we have a computer that is built like a neural network which understands speech as we do. As a side effect such a computer wouldn't have to perform serialized "searches"; once you asked it a question it would already know the answer.
The future of searching is: Computers will NOT search as they do today. They will be based on the model of the human brain and how it addresses "memory", by activating nodes in a massive neural network.
"Ion drives do not produce the sudden burst of forward momentum you get from a chemical rocket. But over the long-term they are considerably more efficient and many future probes will use them. "
If the sharing of music governed by copyrights held by RIAA members over P2P networks disappeared completely, CD sales would not increase dramatically, thus soundly defeating the RIAA's argument that music piracy is the leading cause of the decline of CD sales.
They know some of the rules of algebra and how to apply them to very specific types of problems. That's not going to help them when they are in college calculus and need to express something as a function of something else for example. Often the solutions to those types of problems are not immediately clear (you can't just plug certain given values into an equation and get the answer). You must show certain relationships between one set and another and then use those relationships to formulate a function.
While I'm talking about sets let me point out that the math curriculum in my high school NEVER consisted of sets at all!

Wasn't it Shawn Fanning who did that?

Goodbye SCO! Ha ha ha. It's amazing they thought they could get away with it.

Let us pray that iTunes and iPods can help to destroy MP3 forever.

Well were you able to recreate the crash after that by doing the same thing? Maybe you should send a bug report instead of simply trashing it.

Macintoshes would be suspect to "massive, cascading failures" if they accounted for 96% of the personal computers in the world. ;)

All that would do is scare people away from using computers, and make it very unpopular to be connected to the internet. Not going to happen.
See though, you correctly refer to it as kleenex and not Kleenex. ;)
UNIX != Linux; someone change that in the article! It burns my eyes to see the quote "UNIX(Lintel)"!
Can you get binaries or source code for this? Does anyone know?
Yes that is incorrect apostrophe usage. I suppose we all make these mistakes from time to time. :)
