Won't get it past the Teamsters

Shuttle Politics

Unmanned trucks? If you try to put it past the Teamsters, you will get a horse head in your bed (since this is space-related, it might well be the entire Horse Head Nebula).
If we can get it so that the shuttles are built, launched, and landed in West Virginia, and renamed as well (i.e, "Senator's Bird"), we can get the program more than adequately funded as a pork program by Senator Robert Byrd.
The archives are a little larger, and it does not take the longer file names, but for compressing one or two files it is much smaller and much easier to use than old dos PKZip (which needs 3 much larger files to do what lharc.exe does) or any Winzip version.
A Beretta is a long-since-defunct Chevy sedan, not an SUV. I can't think of any other vehicles named after firearms.... Dodge Magnum maybe? Unless that one is named after Tom Selleck instead.
"Just remember that people still pay not much less than $1 per song for songs on a jukebox."
Is this really a valid comparison? I've put on average per year less than a nickel in a jukebox. Can you say that you have done the same? I doubt many here are feeding jukeboxes much more than "non at all", so it is not the best successful business model to hold the Apple system up to.
They certainly do not get it with this one. Compared to buying a CD at a store:
you pay more online with this Apple service
the sound quality is lower with this Apple service
You have to burn it yourself. At the CD store, you get it burned already
With this Apple service, no liner notes, no extras.
You are still paying more and getting less. This costs way too much, especially considering that i should cost less due to all the middlemen and overhead that is cut out compared to getting it at a music store.
"I fear that this new venture is doomed to failure now that people are so accustomed to getting their stuff for free."
No, it is doomed to fail since the "pay more for much less" plan makes no sense economically.
Hope this is not too off-topic. The device is called a fabber not a fab (but no doubt if it were ever common, it would become a noun and verb as just "fab", similar to "Fax".
Slashdot Mirror
This seems like an appropriate time as any to quote the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on the subject of coinage:
"The Triganian Pu is a triangular rubber coin, about 3000 km on each side."
"Microsoft has announced a 'Live Action' version of 'Lord of the Rings' in which teams of two set off..."
Interesting in this script is the departure where the Fellowship ends up in the Mines of Slashdot where legions of trolls just about do them all in.
Looking forward to such scenes as the Cowboy Neal's of Rohan, Shemod the moderating spider, and the Tower of Linux Ungol.
Great! Now there will be another online way to keep the trolls down besides moderation on Slashdot.
"Wait. So you mean that because America votes for American Idol electronically, the contest must be rigged?"
If American Idol were subject to rigging by hackers as some fear happens with electronic voting, Linus Torvalds would win every time.

3. In the Mayor Daley election, even dead OS's like BSD can vote.
2. You can now use Grokster and Kazaa to steal votes.
1. "I'm from Chicago. Give me two public keys".
What does this mean other than no need anymore to trust third parties when you want to get e-mail to Santa.
And all those elves will be able to download elf-pr0n a lot faster.

You've got Job(s) in both.

Use of an Apple to gain more knowledge in both.

I'm still using lharc.exe by good ol Yoshi.

"With cars, it's illegal to do this (Brady law I think)."
Does the Brady Law on cars mean that there is a 3-day waiting period if you want to buy a Chevy Beretta?
It is not a free market, thanks to the DMCA. Without the DMCA, we'd have the freedom to hack and bypass these limits.

Yes. Amarok, the 60-minute track, is the first thing that came to mind when I read this. It would be a bargain at 99 cents for this track/album, no?
If this took off BIG time, it would be an incentive for artists to split things into more and more tracks, right?
I think a per-minute charge would be better than a per-track charge.
