if I need to check a channel listing and can't get to their web page, I'll call with a complaint. If enough subscriber complain, it will be cheaper just to give access.
and does it do divx? And how come scan converters cost so much, I want my divxplayer back.
Great, except I don't want to make a Mac

the focal point of my entertainment system. I have a divx box (awaiting a new TV out card), it's a small, unobtrusive, 2 pci slot Dell, sitting under my cable box. Unless you look at it closely, it doesn't even look like a computer, and it doesn't take away attention from my 32 inch flat screen TV.
Maybe when Apple comes out with a small form computer (other than that silly cube) that looks like a generic A/V peripheral and costs $300 I will consider this.
I thought it was just an unfortunate coincidence when my boss and HR popped into my cube when my pants were down around my ankle due to that hot chat with an 18/f Solaris admin.
It's getting easier and cheaper to outsource programming jobs to India, Russia and Singapore (among other nations). How much longer can programmers count on a healthy, US based industry?
and designed to create various brain wave patterns (alpha waves, etc) due to the interference caused by different sound wavs in each ear (ie a 2 cycle brain wave would be induced by a soundwave of 440 cycles in one ear, and 442 cycles in the other.
These brain waves will generate hallucinations and strange feelings, and some will cause responses predictable to marijuana intoxication, or LSD "trips" or even Ecstacy.
Predictably, the algorithms for creating drug like hallucinations will be made illegal, and we all know how well that will work.
Eventually, we'll spend all our free time hooked up to a computer hallucinating. Can you imagine that, an entire nation spending all their waking hours on computers?
I think there was one in the Carter years too, that had even/odd days, you could buy gas depending on the last number of your license plate and the day of the month. If you had a vanity plate, you were SOL for being a vain bastard.
Earlier, during WWII there was gas rationing, with families given an A, B or C coupon to tell how many gallons of gas a week they could buy (maybe 5, 10 or 15).
Supposedly, in some bunkers in Arizona there are gas ration coupons printed during the Carter years.
Seriously, if an Ivy League school with a billion dollar endowment and thousands of crackshot lawyer alumni won't stand up to the RIAA, what chance does EFF have?
Or maybe Princeton has too many alumni making big bucks from the RIAA?
you could be raking in the big bucks for designing web pages, web page catalogs, and first person shoot-em-ups, rather than uselessly expanding the boundaries of humanity's knowledge by intensely studying math.
Sheesh, can you get any more open source than Math? It's taught in every school, textbooks are everywhere, it just takes time.

In the bad old days, journalists almost always got some training before they were unleashed on the public. Boring things like finding out a complete story, verifying rumors before publishing, disclosing conflicts of interest, journalist integrity, and a whole host of other things (including spelling and grammar).
Due to the rise of New Media, anyone with a web page can be a journalist, regardless of their qualifications. The Drudge Report is the canonical example. Matt Drudge can post any rumor he hears, without having to verify it.
Now, I'm not sure I want to go back to the old way of journalism, but should New Media editors at least try to follow some basic journalist ethics and principles?
If they should, how should they try to implement them?
Let's see... one thread, two postings by you, and SIXTEEN GODDAMN MISSPELLINGS OF THE WORD KARMA! Why don't you go to dictionary.com and learn how to FUCKING spell? Goddamn, you're a moron. People like you should be fucking put to sleep.
Besides, it's kind of early for school to be out... playing hooky again?
Hmm, so you are saying that dictionary.com is the definitive source of Hindi-English (or is kharma a Sanskrit word?) translations?

I'll going to remember that for the next PostScript class I teach.

for my beer keg, when the UK is throwing away perfectly good CO2?
Oh yeah, it's the UK, they don't know that CO2 is supposed to be in beer.
they would have been great on the parentparent.

Maybe 72, when Opec cut America off.

Brazil?
Ecuador? You could anchor it in the Andes and save a few miles of cable.
ala Amsterdam, though instead of hanging out in coffee bars getting stoned, they'll hang out in cyber-cafe's trading MP3s.
And when you get back to the States, Customs will go over your laptop and CDs with a fine tooth comb.

Does the New Media need journalism training?

Funny, there is *no* Dead song refering to Neal Cassady. There is a song named Cassidy, however it was named after a girl.
Really? How about these lines?
Lost now on the country miles in his Cadillac
or even
Quick beats in an icy heart, catch colt draws a coffin cart
There he goes and now here she starts, hear her cry
