For Adams' sake, I hope death is just like the total perspective vortex- he would be able to understand just how big of an impact he had on the universe.
I used to code at a club, it was the only place where I could have 100% concentration and a clear vision. I found that if I turned the screen all the way down, I could easily see it due to the darkness, but it wasn't bright enough to bother anyone else. No one could hear the keyboard due to the music, obviously, so I think that might be the only problem with using a laptop in a movie theatre (during the quiet parts of the movie), but a stylus tapping on a PDA screen is almost silent.
You make very good points. CD artwork can be replicated- but if prices are lowered to a reasonable level it would be easier to just buy the CD instead of downloading the songs, then cover/artwork, then the artwork on the cd, then assembling it all.
I only buy CDs from DIY artists. I refuse to allow my money to go to the giant record companies knowing that only about ten cents goes to the artist, versus seven out of ten dollars for a DIY cd, subtracting $3 for production costs.
The way I see it, all this garbage will end soon. There is absolutely no way to control media- any encryption scheme will be circumvented in no time flat. My belief is that artists will begin to give their music away for free, understanding that if they do not give it away for free it will be gotten for free anyways. Where they will make money is in live performances. I dont care how fat of a pipe you have, there is nothing that can be done to truly replicate a concert experience- no amount of high tech audio and video will ever be the same as being there at the concert.
Artists will encourage people to download their music and give away promo cd's for free to entice people into becoming fans to get them to pay $45-$80 to see the band live. It will be a revolution in the music industry- everything will have turned upside down, but there is no other way. Artists need to make money somehow- except those who do it just for the love of the music, but I'm sure those artists would enjoy a bit of money and fame too.
Just my prediction- who knows what will really happen.
No, they were found guilty of patent infringement because doublespace did the same thing that stacker did, and Stac had gotten a patent for it already. No code theft involved.
My entire music library now consists of legally free music.
I got sick and tired of listening to the RIAA spout its garbage, so I turned to mp3.com. I have never heard better, more creative music in my life, and all with an open source mentalty. I will never again bother with "music-for-money" - people who create music for the love of it make music that sounds thousands of times better than people who do it for the money.
Sometimes we end up with BSOD channels... The cable providers around here use a windows computer to scroll the current programming on a channel, occasionally it backfires into a BSOD screen, although it hasn't done it for quite some time.
So how come a total idiot like me can't do stuff like this?

The sad thing is that this cost the guy $600+ dollars not to mention a LOT of free time. And where did it get him. ..
happy, thats where. some people spend thousands on R/C helicopters, where does that get them? happy. people need hobbies, this is just a really cool and original one.
My boss and I were discussing this the other day- he says it is going to be just for people associated with the hospitals. I don't know where he got his information though...
Fermlab is in the process of building an X million dollar project to send neutrinos 735km to minnesota to see if they oscilatte during the trip... Kinda pointless now. The project is called NuMI, its kinda interesting, they were going to send neutrinos through the ground to an old mine- check out the NuMI web site.
For the people who have no idea what neutrinos oscillating is about - try here. It gives a good overview, made so someone like me could even understand it.
I live in indiana, and in the 100+ years since they changed PI to 3, it hasn't gotten any better. It is illegal to have a stiffy in public in this state- 35-45-4-1c: (edited for your pleasure)
(a) A person who knowingly or intentionally, in a public
place:
(3) appears in a state of nudity; or
(c) "Nudity" means the showing of the human male or female
genitals, pubic area, or buttocks with less than a fully opaque covering,
the showing of the female breast with less than a fully opaque covering
of any part of the nipple, or the showing of covered male genitals in a
discernibly turgid state.
Actually, LoJack doesn't use anything fancy like cellular triangulation- some cops in areas that are lojack covered have LoJack recievers on their dashes that give a signal strength and direction of any lojack signals being recieved.
Its pretty unfancy, but it occasionally gets the job done.
They are still in the process of implementing the 911 emergency phone locator. The phones themselves need no new chips or software, its the cell companies' software that needs to be upgraded for the 911 locator thing to be implemented.
GPS has nothing to do with this, it works based on how long the signal from your phone takes to hit 3 different cell towers.
Excluding hardcore computer users, most users don't give much thought to the ramifications of the software package they choose. They know they want free music. Buzz words like spyware confuse them.
The world has stopped caring about right and wrong when it comes to business. Most people use M$ products without giving it another thought- I refuse to because what they do as a company - the illegal trade practices - makes them a company I don't want to give sales to.
We need to stop using programs that contain spyware because it is WRONG to put spyware in programs. We need to stop buying from dishonest/immoral companies. We need to actually think about what programs we use/businesses we frequent/companies we purchase from. Then we won't need so many regulatory laws- consumers will applaud honesty and buy from honest companies, and will refuse to buy from dishonest companies, or in this case refusing to use Kazaa, a program that generates funds for Brilliant, thus putting them out of business.
> providing that costs associated with replacing broken steins is relatively low...
The life expentancy of these things is less than 2 years, probably about the life expectancy of a regular beer stein. The problem is that these probably cost at LEAST $200 per mug, whereas regular beer mugs cost $2. Thats a 1000% increase in the cost of beer mugs. There is almost no way a 1000% increase in supply costs can be made up for only by more product being sold. Even if these new mugs reduce the amount of manpower required, it would have to replace a decent number of jobs before the cost of the mugs becomes justified.
If things worked how they should, consumers would use choice, and choose not to use OSs with increcibly restricted licenses. Things do not work how they should because microsoft is a monopoly and consumers do not have a choice in their operating system.
Furthermore, we should not be bitching about the actions of the RIAA, MPAA, etc., we should simply not be buying cds or movies manufactured by these associations.
We have it easy, we buy whatever brand product the TV ads tell us is best. We need to start thinking for ourselves; using our power of consumer choice.

Amazing... No Angela Taylor...
"Probably not, said Mr Butterworth-Hayes, even before the latest hitch. "
And the last time they hire a maple syrup tycoon to head their operations...
They didnt compensate for perspective on some of the signs, and there are no shadows on the signs... Definately a photoshop job.

We needed all of them, and a few more in my opinion.

Keep in mind, the jammer is 5 feet from the phone, the tower is 2 miles from the phone. Much less power required.

Just out of spite, I'd tab over to the "OK" button and press the space bar when it said "By clicking 'OK' you agree..."

Absolutely completely useless. This makes your life easier how, by not having to utter two words to a bartender?
