umm, AAC encoding is not DRMed. in act, the DRM is not even part of the format. it is a layer on top of the format and if Apple decided that they wanted to go with Ogg back in the day, they could have made Ogg DRMed by wrapping it in fairplay encryption.
who the fuck is weird? your the idiot that decided to use Ogg rather than MP3 or even FLAC (then you could at least encoded strait to MP3 with out a transcoding quality loss)
yeah, and I would smack my kid for buying such a stupid game machine when for less I could have built him a QUIET game machine that hooked up to a nice HD TV (HD TV sold separately:-)
umm, you really think that if it took 3-4 months to get to the asteroid belt, one of the richest areas in our solar system, a company would not try to exploit that?
you idiot. the original post mentioned fusion not being able to provide a safe energy source because of the Threat of proliferation. the fact is that a Fusion plant doe snot produce anything that is weponizable like a fission plant does. sure, the PROCESS of two particles fusing together into one particle releases energy and can be controlled o create a weapon, but a fusion energy plant is no more dangerous to world peace than a hydrogen fuel cell.
face the facts, you were wrong and now you are trying to cover it up.
fusion can not be used for weapons tech, unless you think that a noble gas can some how be used to make a bomb.
also, if people would just start using Thorium to make nuclear fission power, proliferation would not be a problem because thorium and its by products from fission cannot be used for weapons.
so put a lock on the content. when some one is reading it then no one else can. you can have a wait list and when your turn comes up it can email you an ebook formated version and after 30 days, you can't read it any more.
here is a trick. get a radio with the loose cable antenna (you know the stuff that is like a string) and then tie the end around the metal connector on your cable line (it can be connected to a TV) that turns the entire cable shielding on all connected lines into a huge antenna for your radio. works great for me.
are batteries an energy source? well, in the natural sense, not. but neither is anything that we have to destroy to get energy from (petroleum, wood, etc) so making a extremely high energy density container like anti-matter usable in controlled discrete amounts would mean that one could power remote locations like mars, or an interplanetary space mission on very little mass in the way of fuel.
yeah, if you lose 10% energy making a container like anti-matter, the benefits outweigh the losses. you have a super duper small amount of mass that contains a super duper duper duper duperduper high energy potential along with it.
umm CDs were successful because of CD players and the fact that they could hold a lot of data and were non volatile making them great for software distribution.....
DVDs got popular because of Movies and the fact that optical storage was already popular and DVDs had huge optical storage capacities. the computer just came a lot for the ride, it did not popularize the medium.
exactly. it is the OS Mime type system that chooses the application to run the file through because that is all the byte code is, a file, not a program. this was a bad decision and will be overturned on appeal.
the clustered results are awesome!!! it is like google and northern-lights combined!!!
nothing really big about the encyclopedia search, it just mirrors wikipedia which already has a good search engine for its articles....unless clusty adds something like natural language search or a close to search I see no benefit for using clusty over wikipedia.

Ogg is the odd man out pal, not WMA or AAC.
ah ah ha h ah ha hah ah ahhahha;izhfaklsgashjw
you are a fucking moron.
who has the number 1 player in the world? who has the number one on line music store? who has sold more online music files than anyone...
oh, it is apple, with their iPod, which supports AAC.
uhh, hey cracker head, the 17 inch combo drive iMac is 1299.
yeah, and I would smack my kid for buying such a stupid game machine when for less I could have built him a QUIET game machine that hooked up to a nice HD TV (HD TV sold separately :-)
the same number of people who are interested in science as public policy, especially where the two meet.

actually, Windows Media 9 format is open in as much as MPEG formats are open. the DVD folks required MS to do so.

you idiot!!!! the fusion bomb is not made from by products of the combining of hydrogen. god you are retarded.

try wrapping a copper wire around it and connecting that to the cable line

umm...actually, Office 2k4 is built off the office 2k3 codebase
hmm, your a bright one aren't you. you claim OS X is slow because of how it operates on an emulation environment. your a genius I swear!!!
oh...wait, no your not.
umm actually, they used Glide for GL Quake.
it is about energy density, not efficiency.

where were you back in 2001? were hear of Fritz Hollings and the infamous SSSCA or some other ungodly garbage of an acronym.

that guy is a horrible speaker. and he is disgusting with all that sweat.
