Do you really need all your songs with you? I've got 6gigs worth of music & audiobooks and that comes out to 10 days of audio. There's no way you have enough time in a single day to listen to the iPod that much to get several days worth of music out of it. It's more of a "portable music device" like a CD player. You couldn't bring all your CDs with you easily, so you brought the one you wanted. My iPod has what I'm currently listening to audiobook+podcast wise, as well as playlists for the car and the gym, which are the only other places I use it, and I still have a few gigs left on my iPod mini. Crazy how that works. =/
Of course, they do have a 20gig and a 60gig iPod for those people who absolutely must have it, with photo now too. Just a little bigger.
Tell them you tried to do it online but couldn't, so you're calling to do it offline because that's the only option they've left you.
Firefox usage is around 5% or 10%, assuming 5% that's 1 out of 20. They're telling 1 out of 20 people they basically must call in, so you should assume they have the operators standing by to handle that kind of volume.
I've mostly got Audiobooks and a few podcasts, some music, but most of it I can do without. The iPod is for the car and the gym(vocals and classical, and high energy playlists, respectively). I see no need to carry it all with me, of course 6gigs is quite reasonable, and a full iPod would work for you. Some people have a few hundred gigs and want to be able to take it with them everywhere. That's just ridiculous(since you've got more than 24hrs of music, and probably won't be listening to it all that much). Besides, a little bit of pickyness and you're 100gigs easily hits 20gigs. =P
Ah, the tubes are better than the color. My iPod mini is green with a plastic-whitish sleeve. Very protected(not a scratch, not very dirty either since I use my Apple Polish once a month at least), but now you can have the protection AND the colors. Awesome. =)
Grr, gotta save up the money now, and trim my portable playlist to 4gigs(barely at 4.2 though, and I can do without a few audiobooks)
I don't believe your lack of ability to verify your field entries makes MySQL a toy database. Data integrity checking should be done on the App, that way if it is invalid, a database call isn't even necessary. If the DB rejects it, what are you going to do with it? You've gotta send it back to where it came from and try to get a valid value.
Any idea when the Mac Mini will hit x86? Everyone else has tried to release a Mac Mini clone at x86 and failed, I want to see if Apple can do it successfully.
We'll have GPL, BSD, and Creative Commons. That's the best we're going to get. And as long as those movements are alive, there will always be something free.
I think Microsoft should just hire DVD Jon and whoever else and have him write the algorithms and encryption. I know it's counterproductive, and I know he would probably oppose it, but throw enough money under there and most morals head out the door. DRM is coming, and if this guy is going to keep cracking them, you're gonna need someone better than him to write it, or get him so he'll be on their side.
Ah well, until then, what's the next one for him to hack? Can't be too far off now.
Next we'll have Portable GPS, load it up into your Key(drive) and plug it in! Tired of the wife finding out where you've been going at night? Tired of your boss checking the company car's last stop? Now, with Portable GPS you store all you favorite locations on your Key and just go! No more questions about why were you at the transsexual strip club last night in the company car! Just imagine!
Best of luck, we're all with you. Hope his blog doesn't die under the pressure. I don't know how LiveJournal puts up with a Slashdotting, but let's give it a post-hurricane traffic and a Slashdotting at the same time!
Investigators need to change, they can't expect people to bend over backwards to make it easier.
Adaptation is a key necessity for investigators. If they can't adapt to the future and to other changes, then we need to find better people. Simple as that.
Does it bother anyone else that our tax dollars will be used to fight the war in Iraq when half the country didn't support it in the first place?
Would everyone else have looked at the actual evidence for the war in Iraq if they were told that the only people who will pay for the war out of their taxes are the ones who support it?
So no, it doesn't bother me. At least this time my tax money goes to help people who didn't know better at least I'll be able to see some actual improvement other than "Saddam's gone, everything else is a little worse than status quo."
I think one of the points of US aid is it is very low per capita, and we can do better, especially with the current big government mentality. *Cough*TSA big example*Cough*
If we started being fiscally conservative we would have more money to send, and if it didn't need to go anywhere, we could use it to improve things here(Nothing is ever perfect).
That's what I was trying to say. Don't call coffee a health drink and start drinking more of it. If you want to be more healthy eat some veggies.
And there are a few methods of getting a natural decaf or at least a lower or no chemical decaf. But considering how many chemicals are in regular coffee anyways, decaf isn't really increasing that amount by much(excluding organic). But you'll avoid the pro-inflammatory effects with decaf.
And if you REALLY want a health benefit, switch to decaf. Sorry, I know everyone wants to pretend what they do is fine or healthy and wants to find that reason why, but some things are just bad for you(Fast food for example, although we all eat it anyways). Just because coffee has anti-oxidants doesn't mean that it will prevent cancer. Caffeine is pro-inflammatory, so most likely those anti-oxidants will be reducing damage of the caffeine.
Don't wanna give up caffeine? No problem. Still want to reduce your risk of cancer, have some real food. Steam some kale, have an apple, some berries(Not Apple-Berry Poptarts, not the same thing). Just add a few veggies or fruits to your daily food intake and you'll be a lot better for it. Cut something out, or reduce, and you'll be even better. Don't have to give up coffee/caffeine, but it isn't some miracle health food, and don't think of it as such.
I'm gonna grab the PDF and wait for the LE edition whenever it comes out. I've been hearing late Sept so two weeks is even better, but the PDF will do for now.
Hey, shut up. It's the only exclusive club I can get into these days(and I still had to buy my invite!). Now I can laugh at all those 100meg hotmail users. Losers.
Sounds like the old Fedex debacle where they would have Fax machines at each store, and could deliver a paper nationwide same-day.
Of course, what happened was everyone got a Fax machine, and cut Fedex out of the picture. High tech LCD screens with a movie of the person's life, well, next step is someone make DVDs of the person's life and you're good to go, and make copies for the people at the funeral. Who else really wants to know about the deceased? Casual visitors? No. Family and Friends? Yep.
While DVD burners aren't widespread as they could be now, they will be.
He raped my digital character and impregnated her!
B00bULicious is now a pregnant 9th level Ogre Priestess! She's been kicked out of the Priestess guild and can't find a job! I want emotional damages and child support! With no job she has to beg on the street for money!
I personally don't give a damn. Advertisers are out there to make money, it's not even a privacy issue. If you're a pornographer and you need camera Y and lens X to do it, what part of that statement do you think they care about?
Cookies don't do any harm, and there are other ways of keeping track of you. The internet isn't some dark alley way and a cookie is some freaky leash on you. The internet is a public place, if someone sees you go to store X and then to store Y big deal.
Everyone here is just paranoid and stupid.
"I want to profit off the information of where I visit."
Uh, ok. I'll buy those lists from you for a penny. Send me the following: The list of all the sites you visited, for how long, which ads were on those pages and in what position, or did you have ad blocker on, was javascript enabled on that site, which links did you click to go where, duration of visit at each site.
Oh, you mean the advertisers do work to make all that stuff happen, and it's nothing you own or can even produce, just something you generate?
Cookies are stupid, I've always laughed at people who delete them, and reading the comments on here, I don't think I'll stop, but hey, each to their own. I'm still convincing friends that deleting cookies doesn't make your computer go faster.
You're far too literal. In marketing, 5% really is nothing, whereas 1 in 20 means something.
Ever wonder why people are more willing to buy a product at $99.99 rather than $100.00(or why things are always 39.99 or 19.99 rather than adding a penny?) $99.99 is cheaper than $100, only by a cent, but to the regular consumer, it looks much cheaper, even though it's only 1c.

They'll have to release a new version of Linux

That's ok, Hire him to break it in the private sector not the public sector.

We're switching to Hackmaster until the SR4 PDF comes out, I've already ordered my LE copy of SR4 but it isn't even in the mail yet.
SR4 PDF should be available by Friday if not sometime next week at BattleCorps. I can't wait, argh!

Firefox Usage is about 5% and growing.
Not much not much.
But, at a store, you do not randomly kick out 1 out of every 20 people who walk in.
5% means nothing, 1 out of 20 means much more. And growing just means it's something to pay even more attention to.
