Just wait until its found they are actually funding a large part of the new viruii that keeps comeing out, so you continue to need their products.
Much as microsoft *wants* bugs, so they can pretty much guarantee you will have to upgrade eventually. ( if they dont get you on the hardware/sofwtare treadmill first, where every upgrade in either requires both to be purcahsed. A lot of those silly gamers are already caught in that cycle )
Digital will *never* surpass quality of real film. ( or any other analog format )
It may be more popular today, but thats due to marketing ( just wait until DRM kicks in on your own images.. and format changes render your pictres inaccessable ), and peoples stupidity that they cant tell the difference.
But you misunderstand, i dont have to justify my opinion. My opinion is all that counts.
Aside from that, if you want to compare a old G4 to a new chip Intel, lets also compare a G5 to a 486 just to make it 'fair'( and just as worthless of a comparison ).
Loser.
Fortunate for me you dont have mod points? Well, fortunate for you that you hide behind a monitor.
Ive found this out myself, having been one of the first to start using CDrs for archives..Got burnt bad on this. Some important documents were totally lost. The disks were stored in a good environment and hadn't been touched since the day they were burnt/verified.
Recordable DVDs are worse. However tapes from 20 years ago are still readable ( IF you can find the hardware to do it on )
I have found too that if you can find an older CDROM drive ( like a 4speed ) they tend to work better in recovering the data on the old 'questionable' disks.
Dont count on microsoft apps running on mono. They will hide something that will be required to run that only microsoft has. And if you try to reverse engineer it, you will be sued.
Add FreeNet ( or something like it ) to the mix, and we would have a secure data distribution system. Each little device stores what it can, and spreads to everyone else.
How about adding distributed processing too? A huge GRID network...

"duh.. its close enough"
Its not about WHO sold the CPU, its about the architecture behind it.
The ix86 was flawed from the beginning. Its still flawed.

How about you actually read my fucking post? I clearly stated i was unable to read the idiot's blog.
Talk about the ability to read? Try it sometime yourself.
Your country cassette from a truck stop that you have stored under the seat of your pickup truck wont play? And this suprises you?
We arent talking about crappy consumer music tape here, the quality and life of real backuptapes are a bit better.
You also have to store your media properly. That is an important part of the formula for long term data retention.
Ok, that would change my statement if true.
Umm where in the GPL that says you have to give out 'work in progress' on demand?
If they are offering the code that matches their released binaries, id say they are being compliant.
And yes, i may not have the entire story here, seems your blog site is dead.
The apple version is intel.. ( yuk ) So there is your reason to buy one of these things.
Yes i expect to be modded down, yet again, for expressing my dislike for this change from PPC to ix86. But hey, its how i feel. And im NOT alone.
Umm wtf? Is that even legal? What happened to free speech.? How much did Microsoft pay for this ?
Not even addressing the ramifications of them winning this, if they decide to demand royalties on most everything flash based on the planet..
I have DC100's that are 10 years old that read fine.
I have CDrs that are 5 that wont read worth a damn.
Tape isnt forever, but its better then a writable CD/DVD
Will we at least have one more run of G-series Apples before they pull the plug?
Some of us really dont like the ix86

Dont i have a right to call you a jerk in a public forum if i think you are?
Yes i know its not technically 'public' since the blog-space is paid for by an individual or company, bla bla bla, but you get my point.
Its his fault.. it must be.. right?
Sure its something to laugh at. Laughing at a screw up isnt some evil attack on them personally..
If you cant see the humor in a failed demo, or 'take a joke', then you are in the wrong business.
Anyone else sick of hearing the excuse 'its beacuse of the terrorists' to regulate yet another ascpect of our life..
They wanted to change the world and make us more like them.. welp, in may ways they did..
They retain the right to change services and costs as they feel fit. When they feel fit to do it.
Sounds like its time to choose another provider and vote with your pocketbook.
Until they stop pushing DRM down our throat ....
What if i removed it myself? I charge money for my time for a customer.

If you live in an area that has free wireless, i would imagine you could mount your drive at home, and have virtually unlmited space on your PDA.
Cant imagine that the *AA would sit by and allow this logical progression to occur.
.. hint hint..
If you can control what sort of stuff comes across to your device, such 'similar music' or have an actual 'wish list' this might be a cool thing.
We need a wireless adaptor for ipods
Dont try coming to work for me is all i have to say about that.. You wouldnt last 10 minutes. ( if you even got hired )
If the CEO wants the data, its his to have. Period. End of disscussion.
