I'm sorry, but my gut response to that was "fuck you too."
Can someone please explain to me why WMA is flourishing? Does everybody that likes WMA like Microsoft's streaming video format too? I just don't get it. With open or virtually-open codecs like ogg and mp3, why are some of you proud of Microsoft's competing, platform-proprietary codec?
For the same reason cavemen painted on caves. Certain artists/creators have a desire to share their work with the world, to express themselves through their medeium. This idea is not peculiar; this idea is human. It's where the term humanitarian comes from.
The screen names are scrambled for privacy reasons, as you'd know if you looked.
Yeah, and I bet they're using an encryption method that is a) not TOO incredibly strong as to be ludicrous, yet b) hasn't been broken yet.
You have to realize that as sharp as the white hats are that wrote the encryption, the black hats are just as sharp. Why tempt fate? I give this thing better than 50-50 odds that if it stagnates, the encryption will be hacked.
So you mean to say that you are comfortable with the sentence "Myself have watched it." ?!?!?!?
The sentence is "I have watched it." and therefore your sentence should be "I and many others have watched it."
To educated people, your sentence looks like you're saying "Myself have watched it, and others have watched it." and you just look like a farking retard.
Please, people. Dont use "myself" to refer to yourself as the direct object in a sentence. You don't look intelligent. You look like a fucking buffoon. This probably goes for anything else you do to try to look intelligent.
I *NEVER* keep anything in quicktime format. As soon as this download finishes, it's going straight through EO Video to DiVX, and probably to VideoCD:)
We also write custom apps for accessing the database and submitting orders to providers. That's what makes it tough. Am I a programmer, or a net admin? What do you call someone that's both?
At my office, I and 1 other fellow manage everything electronic for our small business. We manage a Lucent Definity phone switch, 2 voice T's and 1 data T, all the database and mail servers, all the databases themselves, including custom stored procedures, run all backups, build/repair all computers, install/repair/troubleshoot/helpdesk all software, install phones and fax machines, run network/phone lines, and generate database reports.
Can somebody please tell me what my official title is/should be?
I haven't been to yahoo in AGES, but I just stopped by. The front screen is so cluttered with "news" and "contests" and advertisements that I actually had to look all over the page to find where the search engine part was. Bam! That's all it takes for me to know that yahoo is always going to be a "walking commercial" and not a professional utility.
"That still doesn't negate the point that there is zero chance 4 students caused the RIAA to lose $97.8 billion in sales..."
That DOESNT F**KING MATTER. Please, people, pay attention. There are several ways to sue somebody for money. Compensatory damages COMPENSATE the "victim" for what they lost. Punitive damages PUNISH the committer of the act.
These are PUNITIVE damages and as such, do NOT have to have ANYTHING to do with what atrocity was committed. They only have to comply with the laws regarding maximum punitive damages, which as I understand it, is $150,000 per infraction, adding up to ~$98 billion.
Let me put it another way. If these kids peed on RIAA's toilet seat and the law said you can sue such a person for $98 billion dollars, RIAA would sue, and would have the right to sue under the law, regardless of what RIAA lost because of the pee. This is no different.
"Arista is the home of Santana, Whitney Houston, Pink, TLC and Kenny G."
So, aside from brilliant fluke of luck Santana, they have no other worthwhile artists? Wow. I didn't know they'd fallen so far. Ennyhoo, I suppose groups with such small followings are the best place to start trials...
"I thought the problem with flying in sandstorms was that the flying sand can quickly grind down the spinning turbines and such parts?"
Exactly. When our choppers flew in Gulf War I:The Prequel, more than one operator got the opportunity to open an engine and see the miracle of how glass is made.

WHAT?!

just follow the trail of cooked-in-flight wildbirds on the ground.

A collage of what? Flowers?

"Forbidden

I'm guessing it's SDE.
Tragic affliction of innocent servers...
*sniff*
"Feel free to correct me if i'm wrong."
Ok, you keep using commas instead of decimal points. And you should always capitalize I.
"You're post brings a tear to my eye [...]"
As does you're grammar to mine.

Keep my SN out of it thanks
">> There's no such word as "anymore."
:-P
Yes there is (OED): [...]"
Crap!
I suppose I must side with the defense that "ain't" is in the dictionary these days, but I think the MLA probably still denounces it.
"Does it make you look anymore of a buffoon than someone correcting another persons grammer?"
No.
Thanks for asking.
PS. There's no such word as "anymore."

"How much would you expect video to compress?"
However much you want it to compress. Ever used divx? Mpeg? I expect video to compress as much as I want it to; how about you?
That's like asking how much you'd expect audio to compress. It's a meaningless question.

Get it? Got it? Good.
"120,000 less copies of that album to be sold. Please!"
That should be 120k fewer copies. Use less with singular units. Less fat, less sugar. Use fewer for multiple units. Fewer copies, fewer calories.
"it doesn't seem two different"
Man, you just jumped WAY ahead of the pack in the running for the grammar retard of the year award.

I was waiting to read something about some famous Albert Someone-or-other on the Sci-Fi network.
