i really like itunes. the layout is great, and the integration of itunes music store is fantastic because of the ease of use, speed of download, etc. it is slightly annoying that the songs are encrypted. if my other mp3 player could read these files, i wouldn't have any complaints. perhaps the solution is to send e-mail/letters to your favorite mp3 player company and request they release firmware upgrades for your players so that the itunes format is supported.
anyone know how long the install would take on a comparable macintosh?
has anyone run any speed tests yet? are the pearpc people doing this all with reverse engineering? i suppose that would make it legal... i can't imagine apple is happy with this. although, to be honest, who has the need for macos at around 1/100th the speed? it won't be an alternative for those doing image manipulation... sounds like an exercise simply for fun.
first of all, that link to salon was really annoying as i couldn't read the article
opening your internet connection has nothing to do with opening your computer. and i'm not sure why the author was so fed up with his "security" that he felt the need to shut it all off... why not leave the firewall up?
i'm with this guy. this story reminds me of the first day of statistics 101. my professor used to bring in a different statistic each day and explain how it could be fudged/misconstrued/etc to prove either side.
i hope that out of the labs and off the desks of the engineers working to design these incredible telescopes also comes new technology that's good for us average joes back here on good ol' earth. they brought us tang... who knows what's next?!
those hybrid cars do really well, depending on who is driving them. slam on the gas at each light? the computer thinks you're on your way to the hospital and not worried about fuel economy at that point.
...besides, how many cars beat 45 mpg?
this site explains things pretty well... http://www.hybridcars.com/how-hybrids-work.html
just buy some cheap portable cd players... paint them orange so people won't steal them. millions of americans can use cd players already, and if they can't figure it out... just show them!
i'm not the burning guru or anything, but will there be any problems with media compatibility here? has anyone purchased this drive yet to test it out for us?
what about during vietnam and the gulf war? if i'm not mistaken, we had satellite uplink of video which made the wars broadcasted around the world the same day.
i'd like to know if and how many photos are censored by the us military... i'm guessing that's what happened to those secret iraqi prisoner photos initially...
the only real problem with this is that you actually have to eat dominos pizza to use this. i'm not sure about the rest of you, but i live in st paul and domino's pizza is probably the last joint i'd order from.
i haven't d/led the video yet, but what i'd like to know is if there's some sort of order confirmation/e.t.a./phone number to call incase they never show up/etc that shows up when your order submits...
i work at a hospital. if ever we have a dispute over what a certain term means or the symptoms of a given ailment, where do i turn? we have a ton of books sitting on the shelf... i turn to google. i usually find exactly what i'm looking for. my fellow coworkers (who are often less than internet savvy) marvel at how fast i come up with results. they try to stump me. me, they can stump... google, however, they cannot.
google works extremely well (for me) when researching how to fix a problem with my computer or web server. versions change so fast, and a quick search on google (or usually google groups) yields a solution (or a path to one) very quickly.
even my mom (definately not computer savvy) has added the word "google-ing" to her vocab.
i wonder how many will buy this book (possibly with good intentions) and never do any opengl programming... but hey, it's got a ton of pages, and will make me look l33t.
this deal seems just like itunes, with way more restrictions... i'm not quite sure why anyone would do this... except for if you buy a sony player that can only read their files...
yes, the person holding the player is very manly, at least. also i think the mirror idea is really bad. i have a sony ericsson t610 and the dang thing has fingerprints on it all the time. so with this player, in order to see yourself, you'd have to bring along something to wipe the smudges off. when i read the article, i thought the player was going to be in the shape of a hand held mirror (eg. the one in beauty and the beast)
this sounds like the best idea, at least the best idea i've read so far. however... do you use the same password for quite some time, or do you change it? for those that change passwords often for security purposes, it would be a pain to go down and update your will each time. also, now that the future is nearly upon us, retinal scan and finger printing technology will probably eliminate the password. what do we say then? hey honey, when i die save my left thumb and right eye ball or you won't be able to get any of our family photos. i think the best idea is to put everything you'd ever want people to have... family photos, website archives, music, whatever... just put them on dvds and get a safe deposit box at the bank, or a safe at home....and put the combo to that in your will, i guess...
it could be as simple as:
#1 learn how super mp3 file format works
#2 delete additional personal usage information
#3 ???
#4 profit!
i do like your twist, however. once the code is cracked, you could insert bill gates every time... or elmer fudd... if the riaa thinks this will work, they must have some amazing new encryption technology... like these files are only allowed on computers in fort knox that are turned off and disconnected from the internet.
there's a sucker born every minute.
gmail sounds pretty neat, however i'm willing to wait for the public opening. some people i'd see spending $200 for one of these accounts... yahoo/netscape/microsoft employees associated with their respective free mail... if they get in and see what it looks like, they can get ready to add countering features to their sites faster.
i'm going to be attending medical school this fall. i'd really like to have a laptop to speed up notetaking, but i'll need to draw various figures, chemical diagrams, etc. does anyone have experience with laptops and/or tablet pcs at med school?
thanks,
keith

what about mp3 players that are designed for us athletes? the nike one looks pretty crummy. sony has the memory stick walkman, but it's expensive and the software is crummy ( i hear).
yeah, i'm with NightWhistler... i played secret of mana on snes until my thumbs bled. i made it all the way to the dragon at the end, but could not beat the dang thing. then one day, some little girl wrote over my saved game. *sigh* perhaps someday i'll play it again.
sounds like fun... however, a massive attack needs to be formulated.
here's an idea... would this work? set up a service somewhere so people could submit e-mail addys and ip addresses from spammers. then we could all block those individuals. perhaps this is already done... and perhaps it won't work.
okay... newbie sysadmin here... what is expn? so your users have to sign up for services? like make a file with all their friend's e-mail addresses in it or something?

people can hack your home wi-fi network... and i don't want anyone hacking my brain.

so does this project mean the possibilty of the future bringing a device by which i'll know when walking down the street:
a) if that hot girl i caught eyes with thinks i'm hot...
b) i'll get spam while walking to the bus...
c) how ugly "rawkgrrl2004" really is...
this opens a whole new world to hackers...

which mp3 player is the runner's choice?
