to follow up.... in order to use music with a production (non-profit, profit, even person in home) involving visual media of any kind (slide show, movie, even just colors and splotches moving around) you are supposed to get no less than TWO licenses. A duplication license in order to store that music on a physical device, a mechanical license in order to mechanically sync the music to visuals, and possibly a royalty agreement on a per disc basis.
that equals one HUGE pain in the butt for a producer.
i am a videographer so this issue is something I have fought with for a while.
Some of the best info about music copyright can be found here (DVInfo.net a site for video producers) because video productions require music (unless they are bad ones) and music on film / DVD / internet requires complicated licensing.
Unless you go with royalty free productions straight from the producer / talent and bypass the label (if allowed by the artists contract).
agreed. i was often left to read the manual for myself in order to figure out how to work a problem. but I REALLY knew that calculator by the end of highschool.
My Calculus classes (I through III) never allowed calculators on any tests. All paper and your brain. The only tests that did were engineer physics I & II and chemistry. Not discrete math, or CS (no need with CS).
there usually isn't any security (or very little at all)
i worked as a tester for the embedded OS group at a printer maker and you can do almost anything if you know what ports to connect to, etc. pretty fun stuff. they have a funnly functional shell, piping, redirects, and everything.
hehehe the lazy hunter. was his quad running? if not, then he might had tried to say he had staked out a spot... but quads have fumes and deer can smell gas / oil fumes.
I don't have any idea what is conditions of release are so I was makign allowances for it. If a reporter goes crime-hunting to fabricate a story I agree that this would be a problem. Though in this case there was no fabrication of a story.
Given human nature I suppose a natural result would eventually be that a reporter somewhere makes crap up in order to "get a scoop" so you probably are right.
Oh, so a reporter should NOT act on any illegal activities if found? What kind of responsible citizen does that make a reporter that holds their job abve the welfare of their city / state / country? I would rather a reporter work with LEOs when suspected criminal activity is found, than just brush it aside under the guise of journalistic integrity.
Besides, we don't know what the terms of his release are. May be as a result of his jail time he HAS to report all illegal activity.
Nothing says it wasa "good" perl script. I am guilty of writing a monstrous and horrible to read perl script when I was first learning (as part of paid research for my employere). That sucker was about 1040 lines.
Like I said, it was horrible to read but worked and did the job. Heh, now taht I have had some sort of education regarding program / system design I wouldn't even dream of writing that app the same way again.
If only residents were growing their households and purchasing new construction for new households, then growth would be about 4% ish. But the influx of new residents has artifically driven up prices due to scarcity of the product. The incomming residents are from states whos mean income is about 2x that of the average Idahoan. There are investment companies in CA that buy a dozen homes at a time (I have met with and talked to them in my search for a home) jsut so they can rent them out and sell them a few years later earning $50-100K in profit from the sale, and a few thousand a year in profit from the rental.
I didn't say the state was ignorant of nor innocent of their part in this problem. The selling by Idahoans is voluntary, mostly. Some areas, by proximity to downtown only, have had their appraised property values increase by 100% in the last 7 years just because the only place to build homes is farther and farther away. Many of these areas overlook downtown Boise and are owned by 2nd generation Idahoans, mostly retired and on fixed income. The property tax alone on these sites is as much as an entire house payment so several high profile individuals have been forced to sell out and move because they cannot afford the taxes. But again, this is because the local economy has been nased solely on property taxes.
But hey.... Don't take my post on/. as well informed and researched.... I just don't want people moving into my state from CA. Strangely, few people move here from Montana or Alabama / Mississippi or some other low income state.
Not that I hate people in general, just all the fricking people moving to Idaho. Our valley has some of the highest growth rates in the nation because of all those dam californians moving in a driving up real estate prices. Property values rose 60% in my neighborhood (15yr old neighborhood) just because of all the demand from CA investors.
DAMMIT. GO AWAY.
And leave those jobs to all the HP people trying to leave that sinking ship.
No prob. I try to "preach the gospel of Magnatune.com" where ever possible because I need them to get bigger and offer more music so I have a larger selection of music for my commercial video productions. So it is a somewhat selfish motivation.:-)
Go to Magnatune.com. You DL the full lossless version (WAV) and you can do what you want. Heck.... the 128kbps MP3 is free for personal use to download and all their music may be streamed for free.
Single songs cannot be purchased at their full quality, so that item on your list will not be satisfied.... But when you can choose anywhere from $5 to $15 for the album, that is a pretty good range.

Oh and you ca program it to beep out a Bach Fugue using "BEEP [frequency] [durration in ms]
What isn't to like about that!

just kidding of course.

you must not be a redneck hunter then. They all hunt from couches in the back of pickups, dontcha-know.

Mostly because it can play on almost anything. Heck, I played it at LAN parties probably 5 years after it came out.
