iTunes gives you a warning that you will lose your data if you try to sync an iPod with another library.
Granted, it would be nice if you could just add to your iPod, but I suspect that the ability was not added so the music industry wouldn't have anything to complain about.
If i'm looking at these maps right, google is showing pictures of the base at Area 51, while Microsoft isn't. I wonder if they're allowed to show it? Google Microsoft
Or when someone indents 2 spaces for { and then another 2 spaces for the code (I hate that).
Yeah, my boss does 2 spaces for the { and 1 space for the block. I HATE reading that code. I sometimes wish it was 2/2.
I wonder though, how widespread is that indenting practice?
They point out that it's costly to migrate from windows to linux, yet they leave out the fact that once you're using linux upgrades are basically free. Funny how they never compare the cost of upgrading linux vs the cost of upgrading windows.
I'de actually buy an iPod if it supports ogg vorbis files. I'm too lazy to convert my music collection to m4a or mp3. Does anyone know if its possible to some way mod an iPod to play ogg?
i use a keygen i generated, no one else has my key, and its not the standard pirate key either.. they wont see thousands of people using my key, just me.
Until someone gets that key when they buy a copy of windows.
Microsoft spokeswoman Stacy Drake said the company's lawyers hadn't fully reviewed the lawsuit, but she defended the company's prices.
"In fact," she said, "we've built our business on delivering innovative software at low prices, and have been the market leader in reducing prices while increasing the value contained in software."
The problem with having stuff that projects an image is that you need to be able to project different images depending on the angle you're looking at it from. It might look nice when looking at it at a 90 degree angle, but what about at a 45 degree angle? Is there even technology that exists today that can do that?
I know people have concerns over the possibility of genetically altered plants screwing up the eco system and that they could possibly get out of control, but why not just engineer plants that don't produce viable seeds (I remember that some companies are doing this but I don't remember which ones of the top of my head). If you find out that the plants are somehow harmful to the enviroment you just kill them and that's it.
According to the article it states that, using iTunes, one cannot download a song more than once. So what happens if my computer crashes and I didn't have a chance to backup some songs, I'de have to buy the songs again?
Why do most people look to blame someone/something instead of admitting that its your fault. Instead of stepping up and saying we made some bad choices about our movies we choose to make, we're going to blame our customers. We can't be wrong afterall, everyone else is.
This is an ongoing trend in society and it's just plain stupid; Rather than solving the problem they just ignore it.
Maybee if the lowered the price of movies people might consider taking a risk of seeing a movie that they wouldn't otherwise.
My Dad works with voice mail systems, if its loaded with winnt it can take up to 30 minutes to boot. With linux it takes maybee 5. One of the problems with windows is the inability to strip out stuff you don't need.

NEWINGTON, CT, Aug 6, 2003--ARRL President Jim Haynie, W5JBP, says Broadband over Power Line (BPL)--if widely deployed--would represent "spectrum pollution" on a level that is "difficult to imagine." Haynie reacted after seeing videotape and early data from recent ARRL field studies in four states where BPL is undergoing testing.
"BPL is the most crucial issue facing Amateur Radio and the one that has the most devastating potential," Haynie said. In terms of interference potential on HF and low-VHF frequencies, "nothing is on the same scale as BPL."
A form of power line carrier (PLC) technology, BPL would use existing low and medium-voltage power lines to deliver broadband services to homes and businesses. Because it uses frequencies between 2 and 80 MHz, BPL could affect HF and low-VHF amateur allocations wherever it's deployed. BPL proponents--primarily electric power utilities--already are testing BPL systems in several markets, and one reportedly is already offering the service. FCC rules already allow BPL, although industry proponents want the FCC to relax radiation limits. It's feared such a change could exacerbate BPL's interference potential.
At the West Gulf Division Convention (Austin Summerfest 2003) August 1-2 in Austin, Texas, Haynie previewed a short video (see below) that covers highlights of a recent field tour by ARRL Lab Manager Ed Hare, W1RFI. The video, which will complement technical data ARRL is gathering and compiling, turned out to be a real eye-opener for many in the audience.
Walt Dubose, K5YFW--assistant chairman of the ARRL High Speed Multimedia (HSMM) Working Group--said it was about what he'd expected. "But for most attending--maybe 60 percent--it was much worse than they had imagined, and for some it was a real shocker," he reported. Dubose said a few of those viewing the video simply couldn't believe that BPL actually was causing the high noise level.
In late July, Hare traveled some 1350 miles to visit BPL trial communities in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York to take measurements over significant parts of the HF spectrum. He also took initial readings at low-VHF frequencies. Driving a specially equipped vehicle loaded with radio gear and measurement devices, Hare said he didn't need to look long or track down "a few hot spots" to find BPL interference. "The signals were all over," he said.
"The interference found ranged from moderate to extremely strong," Hare said. The video shows the S meter of an HF transceiver holding steady in excess of S9 as the speaker emits a crackling din, which one observer described as sounding like a Geiger counter. Only the very strongest amateur signals broke through on 20 and 15 meters. Hare noted that the field strengths of the various systems all were within FCC Part 15 limits for power line carrier (PLC) devices.
At a couple of points, the video shows noise continuing nearly unabated on 15 and 20 meters as the car moves down long streets lined with overhead wiring. Hare said the signal propagated for at least a couple of miles down one road.
"Signals would have been much stronger using a gain antenna," he observed. Hare's vehicle carried a roof-mounted, horizontally polarized Buddi-Pole antenna--a loaded dipole.
Each BPL system exhibited a unique sound depending upon the modulation scheme it used, and Hare said he was able to distinguish three types during his recent tour. While in most cases, the signal sounded like static or pulse noise, in one city, it resembled sort of interference a computer monitor or similar device might generate, with warbling "birdies" blanketing the bands at closely spaced intervals. "Naturally, overhead wiring was the worst," Hare said. BPL signals continued to be audible in neighborhoods with underground electrical utility wiring, although it was somewhat attenuated.

heh. I always liked:

As far as I know you can not defend personal property with lethal force (Unless you live in texas, they don't have that law).

Since when is $100-$200 for an OS a 'low price'?
Yes, an electric car that can drive itself, but the important question is: Can it fly?
If you want to use gnome on Slackware, grab a copy of the Dropline gnome installer from http://dropline.net/gnome/
...and while you're at it, why not solve the halting problem as well.
You mean something like Swaret? http://www.swaret.org/
What's to stop them from purposely leaving holes open in windows just so that their virus software could be the best to guard against it?

iTunes is suppose to use the proxy settings for internet explorer. But as far as I can tell its broke.
I'm behind a firewall and I keep getting an unknown error 404 whenever I try to connect to anything.

NEVER tell the govt that they owe you money. They like thier money, and will find a way to keep it. Now just watch as all the judges side against SCO.
Yeah, you're right... what the US needs is a good dictator.
Perhaps we could get Sadam, I heard he is looking for a new country.
its better to be forked than knifed...
