xpdf works as well. I don't think I've ever had a problem using it over acroread (other than the lack of TOC tree). It does have some usability nits (like page numbers being absolute) but I find it preferable to acroread.
Also, you can select text from xpdf (though I don't know about the others, but I don't remember having much luck with acroread (solaris version, slightly fermented)).
doesn't matter if the destination of the rip is mp3 or cdrom, same thing really: you want the best possible quality rip. You must be ripping from good cds with a fairly good cdrom to be getting away with a 15 minute rip. I've had too many rips that needed help to trust anything faster than cdparanoia (dog slow, but it does a damn good job).
Ick, 15 min to rip a CD? Only a pristine CD in a good drive has a chance of sounding good when ripped under those conditions. Ripping a CD tends to take at least as long as it does to listen to it when done properly (eg cdparanoia for unix users). I've heard too many poorly ripped mp3s to ever do anything less.
Actually, one CD I ripped recently took maybe 2 hours. There was a bad scratch that I couldn't repair, and though you can hear the scratch in the mp3, it still hasn't skipped over that section of the song (you hear song and scratch intermingled).
what are the problems with 6.1? I've been using 6.1 for over 6 months (since shortly after it came out) without encountering anything serious (other than the bind vulnerability). Mind you, I've replaced the kernel and modified several other things.
try the bitchx server (I can't remember the full name off hand, but I think it's the fourth in the list). generally 2000-3000 users and 2-3TB of music.
only one problem: I don't know enough Russian:/ (guess that will be more of a motivation to learn). I still have problems sounding out cryllic, let alone understanding the language.
I know. That's why I said possibly congress (but nationality doesn't affect boycotts:). I was living in New Zealand when I first started using gnapster (I just recently moved to Canada).
Still, I wouldn't be suprised if over 75% of them are US citizens. Even 50% would be a force to be reaconned with
Actually, I believe the RIAA is committing political suicide. With that many angry music fans, the RIAA has a lot to fear from boycotts and (when the fans are old enough) possibly even congress. If those 20+ million peope that downloaded napster are a big enough proportion of those that buy music, the music industry has just shot itself in the foot. And even if those people are not a big enough proportion, they might be able to infulence enough of their friends and so the music indunstry is still in trouble.
Actually, at least 75% of my mp3 collection is legal (mp3.com, there's actually some nice stuff there, eg Gossamer) and that gets shared when I fire up gnapster.
That is to say, you can't go to Kmart and get prints made of your wedding photos.
Wouldn't the work for hire clause make it so you own your wedding photos as you hired the photographer to take those photos for you? I have a suspicion here you may have picked a poor analogy, though I could be wrong as we just got a friend to take the photos using our camera:)
It wouldn't suprise me if Bluetooth is no more secure than ethernet or shouting accross the room. Very few physical layers are secure. But that doesn't mean that the protocols being used on top of Bluetooth cannot be secure. You could, for instance, use IPsec over Bluetooth and thus be relatively* secure.
I'm not going to tell you to put oil in your water, but what my wife does is put a bit of oil in the pot, heat it up, dump in the rice, fry that up nicely, then add twice as much water as rice. Cover, allow to boil almost dry. Serve. yum yum:)
And you're right, very few (if any) subjects go unbroached on/. Part of it's charm.
There's another problem: V=Blv (unless the tether's are non conducting, but then, if they are, they can be used as a motor). The voltage difference between the two ends of a 5k wire going at 25000k/h whould be pretty extreme (anybody got a flux capacitor handy?:)
Well, my source is the Challenger book. I'm not certain, but I think it was the force of them hitting the water that caused the capsule to break (and thus flood). But the book did say they were not killed by the explosion. I'll have to dig out my book in a few weeks when my stuff arrives (it's on a boat from NZ to Canada) and double check what the book actually said.
Actually, they didn't die in the exlosion. They drowned. The explosion rendered them unconcious and thus they couldn't escape from the crew cabin while it was filling with water.
Australia might have had the brightest fireworks, but they definitly weren't the classiest. My vote goes to France and what they did with the Eifel Tower. That was just beautiful.
I doubt it. IIUIC, that's what patents are for (the anti-competetiveness). Howerver, that doesn't mean there's some other (related) argument that can be applied to patents.
Could this mean the end of parallel import bans on a permanent basis (corps are lobying for NZ to put them back in). Even though corps say (almost) only priated material comes in via parallel, they only want it so they can keep their exclusive import licensing deals (though I suspect this is more the importers than the exports: exporters would normally want as many importers as possible).

I think if that happenned, you'ld be taken to a war crimes court for using biological warfare :)

This sort of thing just goes to prove the benefit of mp3s.
I smell a digital Boston tea party on it's way.

* with enough resourses, nothing is secure.

All network administrators need UNIX as all network administrators have harems.
Hmmm, combine this with solar sails and you could be in for an interesting ride (and make the sails solar panels while you're at it...)
