"Broadcasting a request show to a single person" is the name, and approx $390/year per stream is the game.
(as per http://www.fitzroydearborn.com/chicago/radio/sampl e-ascap.php3, the ASCAP fee is "$390 for all other noncommercial outlets.")
Add a dash of DSL-style overselling/"contention ratio" and I reckon you could get instant access to all ASCAP material for about $10/month on the assumption of 4/1 contention.
"Sadam has become known for supporting families of suicide bombers in Israel and most likely supports other forms of terrorism, especially against the US and allies"
Right. So the UK should have bombed the shit out of america for funding the IRA then? You really are a bunch of hypocrites. Many countries support the palestinian struggle - maybe not the means used, but we don't support the israeli policy of assassination of their political opponents. Or state-sanctioned assassination period. Oh, and if you're going to start harping on about second chances, how's about enforcing resolution 242 (that's nearly 1200 resolutions before 1441)? France using their veto? You do it too: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/25962 49.stm - and you are the only country in the modern world to vote against kyoto and the setting up of a world court (well, unless US citizens were granted immunity, obviously). You harp on about human rights and yet invent a new classification for camp x-ray which you think side-steps the need to observe international law. France is only acting in France's best interests? And america is not?
The anthrax attacks on the US were almost certainally from within the US - despite you having signed all sorts of agreements saying you had got rid of your stocks of biological weaponry. You break nuclear arms treaties with abandon, and use depleted uranium shells (read: dirty bullets) against other countries.
These are the reasons we are sceptical about your motives. We just don't trust you any more. Saddam is just one tin-pot dictator in a world full of them. It's just that dubya can finally do something his daddy couldn't do.

This is a simple, elegant solution if there are nay-sayers at every turn. It won't take long to set up a working example (set your windows HOSTS file to point mypeoplesoftserver.domain.com to your proxy https server and you're half way there). OK, so it's not the "correct" solution, but I'm guessing it will be approximately 1% of the effort required to get the problem fixed at source.
That's an absolute load of tosh. I regularly burn at 40x on dirt cheap (10p UK =~ 15c) cds. No coasters, no burn-proof stripes, work perfectly in a DVD player (SVCD), dvd-rom or cd-rom. Takes about 3 minutes.
There's something wrong with your setup to be getting coasters at 12x.
The way the CA system is proposed to work is to leave the majority of the packets in an MPEG stream unencrypted, but to encrypt "critical" ones. Frame headers, Slice headers etc, I guess. That way you can have the majority (99%) of the video stream in the clear, but the video is still unwatchable. To this, the cable operator takes *two* copies of the critical blocks, and encrypts them with the two different CA keys. The STB can decrypt either of the two sets of critical blocks to get the original, complete stream back.
The more bandwidth you allocate to the Passage system, the more blocks can be counted as "critical" and the better the security. It's not a DRM thing.
MPEG headers aren't just at the beginning of the file. You'd have to watch the transport stream for video packets, watch for video headers, and *then* flip the bit. For each one throughout the stream.
Most available software will want you to strip the transport stream into video/audio elementary streams before doing anything further. You would then work on the video stream and finally remux.
I thought it was to offset the outstanding share options? Some legal reason or other, not just because Bill likes his mattresses stuffed with dollar bills. (and a *helicoptor*, mwahahaha)
Moonfruit needs this. Build your own website in a wysiwyg interface. Drag and drop interface elements, scale/rotate images and text etc etc.
Geocities etc do java wysiwyg editors, but they are extremely limited in comparison, take longer to download and are frustrating to use
And before you start going on about homesite/dreamweaver/arachnophilia/vim/whatever, make a site that looks anywhere near as good in anywhere near the amount of time it takes in moonfruit, then come back.

A decent DivX/SVCD/VCD player? A decent emulator platform (mame, snes/genesis/gba/gbc/n64)? Running on x86, which everyone and their dog is familiar with?
Flash can loadVariables from the server (in URL-encoded format), get XML from the server, or be generated on the fly (macromedia generator, Ming and friends). You can get these variables and update the display without having to load in a whole new page (like you do in HTML).
OK, so flash is used in many "intro" situations. So were animated gifs at one point, and all those meta-refreshed splash pages we used to get. Good flash can be smaller in file size than an equivalent HTML site - those vector graphics can be shrunk pretty small, and with flash 6's compression support you'll see files halving in size.
Face facts - the web isn't just about information. It is increasingly being used for entertainment, and more and more non-PC platforms will be using it as time goes by. Flash is also an excellent tool for building good-looking custom UIs for things like set top boxes (program guides at www.liberate.com), mobile phones (whole interface in www.pogo-tech.com), PDAs etc etc.
Oh, and without the ads the internet would have disappeared long ago. Or maybe it'd just still be grey, like it was in the olden days.
Flash 6 supports compression, which should make flash sites load about twice as quick (try gzipping a.swf file sometime).
God knows why they haven't done this before. I tried setting up mod_gzip for it, but there are just *so* many random browser problems that it's unusable on a commercial site.
Partially sighed people will/should have screen zooming software. Blind people will be just as stuck as they would trying to read a newspaper or watch a movie.
You can zoom in on a flash applet if you want to increase the font size. Or buy a bigger monitor. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that making a flash site easier to read (by zooming in) for a partially sighted person is *easier* than an HTML page - change the font size in IE and everything looks all wrong. OK, so Opera's zoom function is more effective, but hey...
If everything was tailored to blind people we'd have no highways, information or otherwise.
Try doing that with HTML. The company is making money, doing exactly what this article is all about. Build a website by dragging components around the page rather than having to faff about with HTML designers and uploading your finished HTML code.
That mousetrap *isn't* reliant on all the components. Someone could hold the hammer and spring back, wait for a mouse and then let go. Without the need for a holding bar or catch. (You could argue all the way back to just having a metal bar, but I can't be arsed)
That wouldn't work very well, as the mouse would tend to notice you sitting there. So, add a holding bar to hold the trap open. Perhaps even have a piece of string that you could pull from a distance. The mouse would sometimes knock the holding bar and cause the hammer to fall. Add the catch and you may get a better success rate, but only after a period of evolution would the catch be as efficient as the modern mousetrap is.
OK, so it seems pretty unlikely, but that's the whole thing about evolution - over a long enough period some weird things can happen. Random mutations happen all the time - ask your local antibiotics manufacturer - and history is *very* long.
Oh, unless you think that the world is only 6,000 years old. Which a quick analysis of Numbers would refute (try taking the ages of people when they begat their children and adding them up).
If you're going to try and argue science, then you'll need to come up with better examples. Argue faith as much as you like - I don't have a problem with that. But if you want to be taken seriously as a scientist you're going to have to try a darn sight harder.
And what about ESP on portable CD players? That copy lives far longer than the copy moving between components...
Although to take the argument to extremes, do we not take a copy between the DVD drive and the PS2's motherboard? Between the chips on the motherboard?
Hmmm.

Oh, and gamecubes and ps2s are *not* sold at a loss. Only the XBox, as it would appear that microsoft has bought into the same FUD as you.
The trapezoid effect is cured in the latest afterburners IIRC. My afterburner (~2weeks old) has no trapezoid effect at all :-)
as TFA says, it's to avoid having edges which can be chipped etc.
