You would think I could turn that feature off somewhere, in the bios, inside windows, in the keyboard drivers. But I never found anything.
The controls are in the Power control panel. Under "When I press the sleep button". Also, the BSoD problem is probably your OS and not the keyboard itself.
There are see-through sections, tiny cutouts, plastic parts, different materials, thickness, ink and smell that should really differentiate bills even in low-light conditions.
What exactly did you have in mind? It's fairly easy to replicate the "sweaty hands" scent.
Thank you, thank you. I'm Mr. Metaphor and I'll be here all week.
Calling yourself Mr. Metaphor is like using metaphor instead of analogy, which, in your case, is as incorrect as a cow marking its territory with cow pies and instituting an elaborate cow-tipping territory defense program.
I read the linked page. It never says that SACD exceeds human bandwidth in ways a CD doesn't. I, personally, will never buy a SACD because I think it's only two things: a way to get audiophiles to pay more and a better form of copy protection because the players output no digital signal and the disks cannot be read in normal CD/DVD drives.
Encoding to the same format wont help either as you always loose bits while encoding with lossy formats
Lossy formats save space by throwing out bits that don't meet the requirements of the format. If you use the same format at the same bitrate, those requirements don't change. If I open a box with multicolored balls and only remove the blue ones, and then make a second pass, again looing for blue ones, I won't remove anything the second time. Music compression doen't remove arbitrary bits each time; it's standards stay the same.
Optical out -> optical in -> record. Boom, perfect copy.
I'll assume two things: first, the music on Microsoft's service is compressed with WMA, and second, the format into which you intend to encode is MP3 or OGG, since this is Slashdot. Unless you encode to the exact format of WMA that you're playing or a lossless format, you will lose quality. This is because each format has it's own sonic priorities for encoding which differ from other formats. So, you either end up with a copy the same quality as the WMA (which is not perfect compared to a CD) or worse.
I could take a crap, and throw it in a blender and come up with something that would sound more realistic.
I'm guessing you're ignoring Windows Media Lossless, because it doesn't lose anyting. I use WM Lossless for recording before converting to another format. By the way, MP3 (not pro) is far worse in quality at the same bitrate as WM8 or WM9 Lossy compression. WM8 and WM9 Lossy use the same frequency separation technique with two types of compression as MP3pro. I agree with your politics, but politics do not determine the quality of a format. The parent poster is just another troll.
If businesses ran at peak efficiency, there would probably be only about 10% employment.
You may want to re-examine current economic theory, namely Keynesian and classical economics. Outward shifts of the production possibilities curve (from increased efficiency) yield restructured trade among many other effects. The change is widespread.
Example: I would say, compared to 1903, production is far more efficient. Yet, natural unemployment has not significantly changed. As we can produce more with less, we don't produce the same amount with less resources; we produce a greater amount with a stable (or increased) use of resources.
Instead of kill the speed of g for the courtousy of b devices, but phase out b tech really quickly.
If you wanted speed at the cost of compatability, you should have bought 802.11a, which ignores 802.11b devices, just like you say 802.11g should. Also consider the huge base of installed 802.11b.
I would assume much closer to 15% to 30% for an internal combustion engine in a car. 100% efficient combustion of hydrocarbons would yield no carbon monoxide. Cars release quite a bit. If you don't believe me, close your garage and leave the car running. (Really, don't)
Someone will stumble into the lab and find a scientist's brain wired into a speak-n-spell, with a rat-bot-shaped hole in the wall and a trail of cheese crumbs...
Or how about a "rabbot" shaped hole in the wall of a lab? This post reeks of a ripoff of the pilot episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
On my system, NT currently says "Unmountable boot volume" when I try to boot - now what am I supposed to do? And people complain at linux.. jeez.
The point was not the error message you get. The point was that you can have a pretty graphical startup without necessarily sacrificing the ability to troubleshoot.
"Safe mode" in Windows shows you the startup sequence. It's easy enough to have two startup modes, one graphical and one detailed text.
DOS was the cut down version of linux that only did some things one way.
Explain this statement in consideration of DOS's arrival in the early eighties. Also consider that Unix often oversimplifies to inefficiency. Some systems (like PHP, maybe only earlier versions) only include copy and delete with no move for file operations. This requires duplication and later removal, an inefficient process compared to moving a link in the filesystem. The lack of a move command also confused users. DOS, even it its early forms, included this functionality. I'm not trying to imply superiority of DOS, just show that you shouldn't overgeneralize that DOS was restrictive and Unix was open.
The consideration for open source should already be included in the basic law that all state departments should spend taxpayer resources in a way that would benefit the taxpayer most.
Many existing laws require certain "certifications" that only exist for commercial packages or are so expensive that only for-profit corporations can foot the bill. If the government has baseline standards that eliminate open source as a choice, change is necessary.
As opposed to SSH??
Or for the Windows haters, IIS
IIS is not for remote management. Remote Desktop (a.k.a. Terminal Server) is the remote management tool equivalent to VNC. In my opinion, it is far better than most remote management tools in the speed/usability category.
I believe the phrase "all products" would include anything non-Windows as well.
Logically, a company cannot require a product meet certifications that don't exist for that product. RAM certainly connects to personal computers, but Microsoft does not certify RAM. So, is Office Depot going to stop selling RAM? Certainly not. Likewise, Linux does not fall under Microsoft's umbrella, precluding it from being required to meet the certification standards that DON'T EXIST for it as a product.
Slashdot Mirror
The controls are in the Power control panel. Under "When I press the sleep button". Also, the BSoD problem is probably your OS and not the keyboard itself.
Why would BIOS even care? It's not like the signal for 'A' from a Dvorak keyboard should be different from another keyboard.

No, even audiophiles use CDs. CDs exceed human aural resolution in range and sample rate.
High-fidelity nuts buy CDs, hardly the same as paying thousands for special amplifiers. I do believe CDs should be cheaper, however.
The effect can be reduced by re-encoding at a somewhat higher quality.
True, but not a negation of what I said.

Given that you pay them a significant amount every month, I would hope you know the company's name is XM satellite radio, not XFM.

Am I the only one who thought the bad link (http://www.slashdot.org/www.laks.com) was for (gasp!) caching purposes?
He's probably using Java, since multiple inheritance (two different species reproducing together) doesn't work.

I think you mean RG6 (outdoor and long distance) and RG58 (indoors/intercomponent).
It's the second I've heard of it. Deja vu?
