Here is the site I was looking at. Like I said, it was a quick search, so the source might be completely wrong. I'm at work, so I can't delve into it for a few hours.
Here is the article I was looking at. It was a quick search as I said. It could be invalid, but it supports the claims made on/.
You can get income and still be in the hole. Profit happens when you make more than you sped. Apple is making money, but maybe be spending more than they make, which equals a loss.
a quick search says that on a sale of a CD, the artist gets about 8 cents.
from the 99 cent iTunes download they get about 11 cents per song.
Apple gets about 35 cents per song.
In both cases, the RIAA/Record companies get the rest.
So, if I buy 10 tracks from an album, the artist gets about $1.10, as oppsed to 8 cents.
Support iTunes because it gives back to the artists. Don't not support it because it puts money in the RIAA's pocket. Even CD-Rs (so called music cd-r) get "Taxed" by the RIAA. You have to pay the RIAA to do anything with RIAA music. The best we can do is pay less for the music and give the artists a bigger cut. iTunes seems to be doing this, so it is a Good Thing in my book. At the very least, it is a step in the right direction.
I wonder at what point this becomes over-kill. I wonder was it worth all the work (e.g. is it that useful).
On the "bright side", however, I can purchase a Toyota Prius and get a lot of the same functionality without all the work (and with 60+ miles per gallon)... of course, then I can't brag I have a Mac in my car and can't add things to it... but you get the picture.
A daemon would only be better than having X or some other program if I could switch over to TTY* and paste. And if we are going that far, maybe copy from the TTY and paste to the TTY or X.
"People have brought over species that we didn't expect here, just like people have created viruses that Microsoft didn't expect to deal with"
The difference here is that we have US Customs doing its best to stop people bringing forigne species over. If US Customs did things like Microsoft, they would hand out culture dishes to exicute your Windows Script code on and implant your cultures into the environment w/o asking the end user.
It's funny how a company can leave holes in everything, let people get used to being insecure, then tout fixing the problems as an innovation.
Don't bash the mods (who are really just normal people like me, occasionally... and well, some other people, too). Bash the code. If you hate not having a reason for a certain moderation, I guess you could submit a patch allowing comments for moderations and PLEA for it to be included in slash...
1) A blanket term that will be contradicted a'la Mark Antony's speach for Caesar. I know slashdotters (like myself) love Sony's offerings
2) Use RIAA in a negative sense. remember that Sony is supporting the RIAA in all of the lawsuits
3) Bring up solid state memory comparisons. much more expensive than CF or SD or anything else
4) Use the word "open" in reference to slashdotters to gain trust, even if it doesn't exactly make sense. , I just think that most people on slashdot would be better-served by choosing a more open vendor than Sony
If you are going for small, why not get a smaller player, there are much smaller ones out there
To make a claim like this AND it be informed, you would have had to have seen an iPod Jr (or whatever they may be called). If so, the entire apple community (and others) would really appreciate a picture of it.
The PDF, at least as far as I saw after DLing it, didn't mention the size of the drive. Granted it is more likely than not larger than SOME MP3 players, it would be a shame to jump to such conclusions with no evidence.
Apparently Largo, FL, saw fit to install them in police cars instead of laptops. Their justification was that it's not the entire laptops that get destroyed, just the keyboards, which are too expensive/tedious to replace. So, they decided to go with tablets and keyboards that plug into the tablets via USB or PS/2 or whatever.
Don't forget that Largo is the All Linux city, either. Everything runs as a slim-client to a central server.
Problem is that the police wouldn't be toting them around in a backpack. I assume, though, that there HAS to be some sort of protection for them, even if it is just a nice carrying case.
So, what? He made ONE blatantly stupid mistake (though I'm sure people will jump to their guns and show me all the other mistakes he has ever made, too). I still read his column every week, and I still enjoy it. I even enjoyed reading the one in question, even if it wasn't accurate.
It's just a tech column. Nothing to get one's panties in a wad over. There are other people saying worse things in other places, like once upon a time on tech tv.
Looks like this guy is making the rounds. A more detailed post is at MacSlash. The highlight of conversation there is "Root is disabled by default, and SSH is off by default. Therefore the default settings don't make you vulnerable."
Apparently, it took 48 days from the time he informed Apple until now. Looks like he was itching to post something. There's his 15 minutes of fame.
I suppose this means that one desktop environment (probably Gnome, at this point) will get enough support to bring Linux to the desktop, something that alot of people have been denying Linux is ready for in the past few weeks.
The only thing that really bothers me is that Random Corperate Giant is making the decision, not the users. When it comes down to it KDE and Gnome are both on top because they are both Really Good, and that fuels competition, etc. They've stayed "euqally" as popular because their respective user bases like them so much. So the most well known, in my opinion, Linux, Network OS, and Unix providers get to pick what they like and back it... Frightening.
Slashdot Mirror
With all the Lord of the Rings ads, I was a little confused about what I was looking at. Usually pictures about the story accompany the story...
But you can "F/OSS" with Macs running OSX, like all the rappers do in their Bentley rollin' on dubs.
It has to do that RIAA worked out royalty system for CD-Rs "designated" for music.
Don't flaim unless you know your facts. ass.

So, where does that put OS X users? They seem to have the first half of the first sentence and the last half of the last sentence...

I'm under the impression that Linus can afford a decent connection. Not to mention Austrailia's dollar is worth less than the US dollar.
Austrailia is a nice country with alot of nice people. I just got back a few weeks ago from there. I hope to go back sooner than later.
The only thing I would change is the flies. That is, I wish they would have not been so bothersome.
Imagine that... Microsoft making a product with security flaws! Someone call the press...
Kind of like Windows "doesn't" release source code and is/was adamant about not releasing it?
Maybe it will blossom in a different way...
I think he said snotty attitude, not snotty compatibility (whatever that would be). Just because it works doesn't mean they LIKE it...
Not that I am claiming to know anything about debian and how their devs feel about anything. Just clearing up a point.
Does OAP stand for Old Ass Person?
Leave it up to Wisconsin to do cheesey things.
I think they wanted to call it Pentium !!!!!! after their last really successful processor, Pentium !!!.
In short, Mods can't comment. If you mod something, then reply, your mod point is removed and you don't get it back.
Check the FAQ about this.
Don't bash the mods (who are really just normal people like me, occasionally... and well, some other people, too). Bash the code. If you hate not having a reason for a certain moderation, I guess you could submit a patch allowing comments for moderations and PLEA for it to be included in slash...
A great formulat for +5 Insightful...
1) A blanket term that will be contradicted a'la Mark Antony's speach for Caesar. I know slashdotters (like myself) love Sony's offerings
2) Use RIAA in a negative sense. remember that Sony is supporting the RIAA in all of the lawsuits
3) Bring up solid state memory comparisons. much more expensive than CF or SD or anything else
4) Use the word "open" in reference to slashdotters to gain trust, even if it doesn't exactly make sense. , I just think that most people on slashdot would be better-served by choosing a more open vendor than Sony
5) Get modded up.
If you are going for small, why not get a smaller player, there are much smaller ones out there

But someone will probably put me in my place...

If I hear one more person saying how wonderful the Mac UI is i'm going to puke.
The Mac UI is WONDERFUL! I make love to it, AND enjoy it!
Come on. Puke! Puke! Puke like you drank a liter of vodka.
Did it work?
