While there is probably nothing useful that I could do with this file, there is also no way for me to be able to get it, even if I had something to do with it - One of the wonderful things about going college in the day and age where it is bad to share information is that bitTorrent is not allowed.... mirror of pi anyone?
Having said that, it seems interesting to be asking, literally, for a mirror of the real world - as numbers go, this is pretty real.
For FTPing (and SFTP, as well as SCP), I would reccomend Fugu (http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu/). Free and free, it offers lot of nice features, such as being able to think that you are editing files by remote (not actually the case, but well done anyway).
Sorry for the confusion (and for being off-topic), but where do you live where you have a president who could well be an idiot? I know I believe ours here in the US to be a bit sub-par, but where else is it percieved that you have this problem?
Amen, brother. I bought a dual 1.8 G5, and as a college student, that was a little out of my range, but its so damn stable and useful, I don't care. If it wasn't for the power outages (some guy down the hall feels the need to hit the breakers once a quarter), my uptime would get a lot higher than then 50 days it was at as of last week.
Yes, I didn't bother to do any updates until it had to go down. I just want to know how long this machine, just over a year old, can go without a restart!
Paid a lot, but for a quiet, fast, and reiable machine that can bend over backward to run about anything i want, I'd say its a fair deal.
When I read that, I thought you were suggesting that curtlewis was putting a little spin on the way things happened... but then for fun, I ran the command, and found that you were actually being helpful.
Thanks for the tip!
Nice! I'm am going to school in south-west michigan (Kalamazoo). I looked last night, but saw none.
Sunday night, however, I wastched from around 11pm until 2 am, and, being a native of northern MinnesOHta, I am used to some pretty cool displays, but I have never seen anything like what I saw sunday. Nearly the entire sky was lit up green. It got a lot darker around 1, but the patterns started shifting quicker too.
Going along that line of 'fun', anyone read Larry Niven's Engineers of Ringworld?

Excerpt talking about Louis Wu being a wirehead (one who is addicted to current coming into their head, stimulating the pleasure centers of the brain). This gives us brights, how about a new drug?
Do you mean that those are the reboot instructions? I have a 2nd Gen ipod, which the menu+play works on, but I have tried it on my gf's 3rd gen too, but no power adapter was necessary. Does what you describe do more than a reboot?
I believe that upon reboot (for all models) if you hold > and the select button that it goes into a self-check menu, which does require the power connection (or at least its advised as it drains the battery fast).
One additional command is > upon reboot, which turns it into a firewire disk that will stay that way until rebooted (again, menu+play)
In short, yes. I am saying that you need to decide when it is and when it isn't a sin to kill, and ask yourself if that is our job to punish people with death. Ask youself not only as a person and a citizen of this country, but as a Christian. We may not be perfect, but we can at the very least avoid some things that are made pretty clear - don't kill other people - God'll take care of that as He sees fit.
I believe this is especially true when there may be innocent people involved. Collateral damage in the quest for justice is unacceptable.
Are not the guilty children of the same heavenly father? He gave up His life not just for those who do right at every turn, but for those who make mistakes as well. Life, as we have through Jesus, is a gift given, not a lure dangled in front of those who are perfect as an incentive to stay that way. Capital punishment is one thing, but what do we have reserved for those who throw the switch on the lives we deem not worth keeping?

Alas, not so in the US. I have tried, and the best you can do is to either pull it down a ramp where friction is minimal, or pull it up while the quarter sits on a scale, and watch the reading change ever so slightly.
Even new coins here in the US are no more magnetic than older ones...
...Which isn't to say that they aren't magnetic. They are... just not very much. It takes either a very strong magnet, or a very careful eye or measurement to see that the coins can be moved.
Now, in my opinion, American coins kick the crap out of European coins, and are better than Canadian by a small margin. Whats the point of coins that don't make a 'ting' noise, and instead remind you more of loose sheet metal than something of value?
Agreed! Being a mac user, I generally don't need to watch out for malicous downloads, but I fix windows machines all the time, and getting non-knowlegdable people running everything they download is what we are trying to STOP, not encourage.
Perhaps a better method would be to get some kind of general standard out there, either in an application or in a browser plug-in, and push that as the way to run this.
I can't think of any way that security could be otherwise easily guaranteed with a system like this... Any thoughts? I've been through much of the site, but short of joining the mailing list, I am not sure how to find out how they plan to do this.
Actually, yes, it does. Backups - this can be done by copying the file as it is to some backup media, or burning it to a cd. Making compilations - easy, just make a playlist in iTunes, and then burn said compilation to a cd. Sharing those? Hand them the cd you just made.
Granted, you can't just give them the (protected) aac file, but there is no problem with burning it to a cd and giving them that...
No, there are options other than commercial to fix this. The easiest by far is from apple - the Open Firmware password utility. As far as I can tell, it renders the computer nearly invincible to easy workarounds - you can't boot off of a cd w/o the password, you can't boot into single user mode w/o the password, etc.
The trick is, if the user can open the box, and remove any amount of ram, it resets something in the mobo, and the password is eliminated. So don't advertise that fact, or else lock your boxes
I suggest that you try a bit harder - I have had no problem having more than one copy of iTunes playing at a time through FUS. Get one user to play a song, then go to the login screen, and toling as another user. If it doesn't work, I suggest that you make sure you have the most recent iTunes, as well as all OS updates. Logging out of a user will stop it from playing, but FUS should allow the music to continue.
Not only is the control a hardware issue, but if the OS does crash, and crash hard, all the fans (of my dual 1.8 G5, anyway) kick up to full blast, sounding like a small jet.
My bet is that something similar happens with the water cooled systems.

Speaking of dialing 911, did anyone else notice where we got this article from?

Hey there, I am interested in the site you have in your sig - could you email me at niloc132@spymac.com so i could ask you about it? thanks much!
Yes, yesterday, but this is a new article.

Wait, so the iMacs, both new and old, are illeagal? And what is done for palms and the like?

Yeah, all that does is restart it. Its the same thing that happens when you plug it into the computer or unplug it.
In short, yes. I am saying that you need to decide when it is and when it isn't a sin to kill, and ask yourself if that is our job to punish people with death.
