If they are able to make do (foodwise), bees can survive at fairly low temperatures. I'm going to ask a friend of mine that works with them exactly how low and then get back to this forum.
This is what I know about Bees from a friend of mine who works on them in a laboratory. Bees are pretty resilient to temperature change. I one time asked him how he did his research and he told me that the "freeze" the Bees down to a certain point so that they can pick them up with tweezers and tag them and do whatever else Bee researchers do. The bees slow down enough eventually that they can be handled quite readily, but they don't actually die. Perhaps this adds more weight to the "winter" theory?
I installed fedora C3 test 3 just a few days prior to this. I knew the release was soon but I was anxious. I'm not entirely sure the updater is working, because I figured there would be some sort of update when the real release hit. This is not the case. Should i download the whole thing again?
Anyway, interesting that as of a few days ago there was no bundled firefox. I've been using as my number primary browser for so long I forget that its not a standard yet!
I like audio tapes. The good thing about audio tapes is they have two sides. This gives you twice the capacity of any other format. Please give one counterexample.
Ok
1. A 200 GB hard drive. 2. A double sided/dual layered DVD.
well, I guess the results make sense on this one, seeing as how apple is the foremost user of the AAC format. If the itunes music store was going to fly, the quality of their encoding had to be up there.
does AAC get much use outside of the apple world? I'm curious. As an apple user I have a degree of tunnel vision... Is AAC seen as an alternative to WMA for windows users or even MP3?
My take on this is that they disabled the second processor, not to in any way cripple the system, but rather because the test was an analysis of the new processor alone. I don't think the point was to prove which is the faster pc. I think it was more about who is making the best CPU, Intel or IBM.
Macs are built from the ground up with many benefits as a dual processing maching. The whole operating system is based on it.. PC's as of yet have not placed nearly the empasis on it. Therefore it is unfair when testing a chip to set it up with a system that uses much more than the chip to its advantage (such as the dual buses etc).
I think the test is an interesting one that with no doubt settles no debate over processor superiority. It is, however, interesting because none of the benchmarks to date have focused on the performance of IBM's new processor, but rather have focused on the overall performance of Apple's new machine.
Overall, I think that the more angles we can possible see on this new equipment the better!
I use my Powerbook a ton at school. It is an extremely versitile machine. With its wifi card I get internet all over campus, not to mention near apartments all around campus that aren't locked dow. I don't do the PDA or any fancy note taking, though I do have my laptop with me almost all the time. Sometimes I use it for notes and writing down my assignments...but I find a good old fashioned notebook is the best way for me to stay organized sometime.
Definately look into your school's wifi network though!
I dont really understand how they can impact Linux buy "saving SCO." SCO is expensive unix, not entirely aimed at the same market. I suppose it does offer competition in the server market...hmmm
To be honest, this article didnt say very much about why "panther may tear up longhorn." It did however point out that panther is due out this summer, and longhorn not till 2005, making the comparison somewhat of a bad one. Who is really comapring the two anyway? Seems like we ought to wait until the 2003 mac OS to compare.
Aside from that I have one more question. Does anyone know if there will be a 64-bit version of longhorn, or if it will be exclusively 64-bit?
Woh...hold the phone. Let's not call the iTunes music service a success just yet. While I am a huge fan already and it has definately won me over, let's not forget that us over zealous mac fans are just a very small portion of the market. When I tell my non mac friends about the store I have difficulty convincing them of its advantages...
And let's not forget about Apple's recent troubles porting their iTunes software to windows. This battle is far from over in terms of winning the rest of the market over. Some of the record labels are viewing the Mac situation as a small market test, as I believe Jobs sold it to them. They are unsure it should be moved to the windows platform so soon.
So as for purchasing TiVo... I am all for it, in the long run. My point is simply that we should be more careful with terms like "conquer." The iTunes music store is far from conquering anything... and with their recent removal of radiohead from the database...i think they are one step further at that.
1. Professionals do not just use a $495 copy of protools. They use the $15k version or even higher cost protools workstations.
2. There is much more to a studio than the ProTools rig. There are mics, sound foam, cables, eqs, preamps, and all sorts of external equipment that is still used. There is much more to consider aside from the rig.
3. Also, note that savings are being passed along to the consumer. Look at the Apple iTunes Music Store! $9.99 an album is quite a savings over anything you will find at Amazon, Best Try, or Circuit Sh*tty.
When i do this it says they may be wrrote protected or not the right life format. I realised also that these tage are completely unmodifiable, not just the artwork.
I did find one solution... If i find the song file and re open it in itunes everything is fine. But this is a huge pain for my whole mp3 collection with things divided into folders as they are.
I, for one, definately fall victim to the impulse buy. I can't help it when I find these tunes that I really want and the are as low as $5.94 for a whole album (McCoy Tyner, Inception).
Furthermore, I think iTunes for Windows is a great idea. It is by far the best mp3 player I've used and it is a great marketing ploy to get a little bit of mac ease of use into the windows environment and leave them starving for more. Quicktime is not impressive enough.
I, personally, am addicted. I have already bought 30 songs and I'm showing no signs of slowing down in the near future. I keep finding more stuff I want, and at the price I cant help myself.
I am especially impressed with their jazz selection. I am very impressed, I don't think i'll ever use a p2p for music again.
For a good buy, pick up the McCoy Tyner album, Inception, for just $5.94. It's $15 at amazon...
Thank you Apple, for taking in account all musical tastes for launch!
finally a great mp3 player for windows....music match is decent, but the playlists are confusing, Windows media player is bloated, winamp is dated... Windows users have seen nothing like itunes before! This is far more interesting than Quicktime for Windows. Finally windows users will get a little taste of what its like to have a mac. (Assuming the port is good).
This is all very similar to the biodiesel posts a while back. One interesting point, is that this fuel is entirely possible to acquire this fuel independently but, as claimed on Biodiesel.org, running your car on pure vegetable oil is illegal due to regulation from the EPA.

It appears that not even moving to iceland will get me away from this administration.

this article was pretty f-ing stupid
maybe the transistors aren't the only things at intel that are undergoing shrinkage

There are a couple...

Those sneeky dudes....thats one hell of an updaye...ipod sells itself as is...
I have several points to make:
1. Professionals do not just use a $495 copy of protools. They use the $15k version or even higher cost protools workstations.
2. There is much more to a studio than the ProTools rig. There are mics, sound foam, cables, eqs, preamps, and all sorts of external equipment that is still used. There is much more to consider aside from the rig.

So quite your whining and keep buying the music.

Why is most of the existing artwork (or lack there of) "Not Modifiable" in iTunes 4?
I'd like to add artwork to my mp3s, but it doesnt seem possible for most of them. Has anyone noticed this? Does anyone no why?

Looks like their site couldnt take the heat. It's already /.ed. I guess this goes to prove that there are oodles of linux gamers out there...
I've heard these things smell like french fries from behind. Imagine waiting in traffic... I'd be so hungry.
