I see all sorts of weird techniques being presented all over this story, but I haven't see anyone present the most simple solution. I can't think of a time this hasn't worked for me. Just hold your breath. Usually you have to do it for at least 30 seconds. You have to hold it and almost be pushing the air down in your throat, if that makes sense.
The "back in the day" jokes are older than an 8088.

Really, the game we're anticipating most (we use a Mac) is not The Sims Online, but Sim City 4.
I don't know if you mean the game hasn't come out yet when you say "anticipating", but Sim City 4 is out (at least in the U.S.) Here's a review. I saw it for sale at Sam's Club a week ago.
Animals are most dangerous when they are cornered.
Ah yes, I was scrolling down, reading the messages wondering when I was going to find that proverb-like comparison between Microsoft and something from the natural world. I was almost getting worried someone would miss it.
Also remember 8mm tapes aren't designed to store digital video the same way DV is. You really should not be using them for archive purpose and expect them to be in a reasonable state when you check in on them in a few years time.
Well, I've left tapes on the back of my car, only to come back to the scene to retrieve them and found them smashed up on the street. After getting the rolls put into new cases, the digital video was intact. I guess that gave me enough faith to stick with Digital8.
Well, you should be interested in DVBackup [sourceforge.net], this project does what you need: backup data on your camcorder. You can stick gigs on a mini-DV !
I think there was some misunderstanding in my original post. What I'm saying is that I like to keep all of the video I take. If I use this hard drive solution, I will have to transfer all video I take to my computer and then backup to some other media, or else I will quickly be running out of hard drive space on my computer. Now, if go and use this software you have pointed out, I would be downloading from a hard drive to my system and then backing it up to tape. My current setup is a little more efficient than that;-)
My point was that I like to keep all of the video I take. I think this product is very cool, but for my use I would have to spend the time downloading the video to my hard drive, then back it up to something or else I would quickly run out of hard drive space on my computer.
My Sony Digital 8 Handycam can store 60 minutes of video on a standard 8mm or Hi-8mm tape. Now, forgive me if my math is wrong, but I know that approximately 4 gigs of hard drive space is used when I download approximately 20 minutes of video (it's actually 18, but for my calculuations, 20 is easier). I'm assuming this means that around 12 gigs of data can be stored on an 8mm tape. If I could get a camcorder that would store MPEG-4 video on an 8mm tape, I could store around 8 hours of video on a single 8mm tape.
The advantage that I see to using tape, is that I can easily archive and store the video. If I have to backup my video from a hard drive on the camcorder to a hard drive on my system, I will be quickly running out of room. Yes, I could back it up to CD or DVD (if I had a DVD burner), but that's extra work I don't want to have to deal with.
350 million people divided by 7 million dollars equals 2 cents per person.
I don't know if you are trolling, but the math is absolutely correct. To calculate the cost per taxpayer, you would divide the cost (7 million) by the population (350,000,000) and come out to $.02 I'm guessing you are a Democrat?
One of the greatest things about XML schemas is that they themselves are well-formed XML documents. This makes it a breeze to parse and create XML Schemas. I've just started using XML Schemas in development for the past few months, and they are fantastic. A huge improvement over both DTD and XDR (Microsoft's temporary schema format until XML Schemas came out).
In addition to being far faster than WiFi, EvDO can work over existing cell phone networks and deliver a connection anywhere there is a mobile phone signal. In contrast, WiFi users must be within 300 feet or so of a base station or "hot spot."
You have to wonder about the reliability of an internet connection that works over cell phone networks. Yes, many of the disconnections you experience with cell phones are due to moving, I've experienced plenty of disconnects without any movement, and that's just the few times I've used someone elses cell phone (since I don't own one).
Their usual strategy is to wait until their competitor is about to launch their new console, then announce that they (Nintendo) are coming out with one too.
What is wrong with Mario? I'm an adult and I love the Mario series of games. What is wrong with having games that all ages can enjoy? I love my Mario Party, Super Monkey Ball, Mario Sunshine and Super Smash Bros. And they are games I can enjoy with the rest of my family. I don't understand why a game is labeled as "targeting children" if it doesn't involve shooting people and recharging your energy by banging a prostitute. I think we really have the definition of "mature" pretty messed up.
Intersate commerce where they get the right to do just about everything they do.
But how is this interstate commerce? Yes, the retailer or rental company that purchased the game from out-of-state would be interstate, but the transaction of purchasing a video game at the local Wal-Mart or renting it at the local Blockbuster is not interstate commerce, in my opinion. Of course, there are only 9 people in the country whose opinions count.
You are right though that this is the clause that gets them access through just about everything. The power has been too liberally granted by the Supreme Court.
Last year's proposal failed to get traction because of concerns about the scope of the bill and potential first amendment issues.
I'm getting sick of any law being described as having "first amendment issues". Forget the flipping first amendment. Find me a clause in the Constitution that gives the Congress to make this law. This is where a good strict interpetation of the Constitution would do the Congress some good. And this isn't a Democrat/Republican or Conservative/Liberal issue. Each side ignores the Constitution when it suits them.
I don't know about Windows or MacOS, but I don't believe Linux or Open/Free/NetBSD use any copywritten UNIX IP code in their kernels. Do they?
IANAL, but I believe the issue is with software patents, not copywrites. If they have software patents over processes that are used in other OS, it doesn't matter if the exact code was used, just the process that is patented.
I think calling him a Spokesdrone is an understatement. Check this answer out:

Except for the term Wi-Fi (and maybe synergy, although that's so 20th century), I think we've hit just about every buzz word in the English language.
CD-RW/DVDxRW technology aids pirates as well, but you don't see the RIAA/MPAA going after Sony, Philips, Lite-on, and everyone else who manufacturers such hardware for aiding and abetting piracy...
Maybe not yet, but your point sure makes this story about the RIAA going after ISP's all the more interesting.

I'm sure the tape could hold whatever data you throw at it, it's just a limitation of the device that is reading/writing the tape.

Interesting. So if I substitute your words into their words, it all sounds very scary and is now propaganda. You've convinced me.
Here, let me try that with your post. Here, let's read the following sentence you wrote:
But keep the following translation table in mind:
By keeping my translation table in mind, I can make you into a pervert! Hey, this is fun!
Title of your post:
From your post:
Do you honestly not know that the postal service is not run by individual cities? Please be more careful before you make these kind of accusations.
Maybe not yet, but your point sure makes this story about the RIAA going after ISP's all the more interesting.
There have to be 20 dupes about the fact that this is a dupe. Of course, I'm guessing this has already been pointed out...
