C sucks, C++ sucks, PHP sucks, Perl sucks, programmers suck (I'm not a programmer, but trust me they suck) and there may be tools to make them not suck, about which I know nothing so I'll just use this lame-ass fighter pilot analogy instead. Vote Quimby.
Anyone who has ever worked in radio knows that radio production is not the same as a professional recording studio. In addition to that, the article is very vague, it appears like they are encoding files to Ogg Vorbis and burning CDs, nothing groundbreaking there.
This is increadibly irresponsible of/. to leave this crap on the front page. Some guy puts some drawings of the human ear on a page with a few big words and all of a sudden it's freakin' scientific? No references, no data, nothing but trying to create FUD and crud!
Please add an update questioning the validity of this article.
Especially the words of a CEO whose company (Comcast) is starting to roll out their video on demand service. The basket in which they've put most of their eggs, as it were...
My personal favorite is "Wil's Got A Posse!". I just smile, because it makes me realize that he's just a dude like you and me, who's excited that people like him for what he is and what he's doing now, rather than how they knew him as a child actor. I guess I'm part of the posse, I visit the site about once a week to catch up on what's new in Wil's life:)
Umm..sorry to burst your bubble, but I don't think that artwork has really anything to do with Wil liking the fact that he has a posse, see this link. Hell, he's even got a link to obeygiant.com on his site.
Having lived in RI during the early 90's, in the peak of the Andre the Giant stickers (freakin' everywhere), I can tell you Wil's late on that train.
multiply that by 10. In the actual vorbis source, quality levels are represented between 0 and 1, but most front ends present that as 0 to 10. (there's a -1 setting now too)
The language in which the compilers and interpreters for those garbage collecting, so called, secure languages are written is most likely C. Is C the best language, probably not, and which language is best depends on both the task at hand, and the programmers preferences and abilities. The same can be said for any other language. So just remember your roots before you start dissin'...
No they do not, at least on windows. For example on XP, in the Application Data folder, there's a folder for Mozilla and one for Phoenix. Also, on the Phoenix web site they recommend you delete the old config data from 0.1 before using 0.2

I totally agree. Usually if the manual page on the website doesn't answer my question, someone in the comments below has either answered it, or provided a working example, which I guess is probably the same as answering it, or maybe not, or umm..well you get the point.
Yup, that's the exact reason why I bought a 80 GB drive a little while back. Fills up fast when you're editing video. When every 5 minutes or so of captured video from my MiniDV camera is 1 gig of disk space, it adds up quick.
Well, so many people missed the point of why I posted the story. It wasn't to say the Red Hat is the Microsoft of Redmond, it was to show how rediculous the claims of the IBM VP were and also how UnitedLinux may not be a great thing, if it's members are going to be trashing other distros in the press...Oh well, guess I was much too optomistic.
I've never met Linus, but from reading the Linux kernel mailing list over the years, I think he's doing just fine. Everyone is so quick to find some cause to rant about, but he's saying, I'm here to develop the kernel. He's not a lawyer, nor has he ever been known for his activism, but quite honestly, I don't want the head kernel architect to be a political spokesman, that just slows down projects and gets the developers thinking about the wrong things. Does this issue have to be addressed, definetly, but I think he knows he's not the one to do it. It's better suited for Redhat or maybe HP, not developers.
Yeah seriously, I go through blank CDs like they are candy. They're freakin' all over the place, it doesn't mean they all have music on them. In fact, most don't. I'd like to see that chart compared to the decline of other storage mediums like floppys and zip disks. The CD-R is, for the most part, the removable storage medium of choice for most offices and homes. Why does it always seem like the RIAA is looking at things through a pin hole. And that suit and pants comment by Hilary Rosen, is she on crack?

There's an article about the Google toolbar and Folding@Home on k5 too...

There is a spec, stop trolling.

For every one sysadmin you need three lawyers if you want to set up and ISP.

This is only the hood, there's nothing to look at under it!
