I do this alot because I DJ and would like to hear the tracks I buy at work or in the car etc. etc. Basically what you do is take your turntable and plug it into your receiver, then plug that into your computer. (you are gonna wanna make sure you have a good sound card and good stylus) Use a program like soundforge and record them. You can get rid of the crackle with the vinyl tool and clip it to the right time. It's time consuming but OH SO worth it if you really love listening to your vinyl collection.
I live in Minnesota (and love it btw being from Dallas originally) and I think this has a lot to do with the BS that Qwest has been pulling lately although a lot of it could be election year politics in general because this is heating up to be vital election here. I can definitely say that writing your representative might have done some good here though since I went on a letter writing campaign on several issues a few weeks ago. Maybe the computer gods just love me though.
"While this is MS's fault for choosing something that would *obviously* be shortened to "Windows" and thus be un-trademarkable, the public still associates "Windows" with MS."
No. You and I and other/.ers associate Windows with MS...the "general" public still think Windows are something to let sunlight in.
That's a totally valid arguement. On an exploited level, yes, the MS holes are much bigger than the *nix holes. But everyone seems to want to say that the whole article is bogus becuase, yes, it is "cool" to diss windows. The whole issue hear with the jackass who just asked me if i'm stupid is the fact that this IS a baised community, plain and simple. It would be nice to able to state my opinion without being flamed but what can you expect from a linux user *insert sarcasm here*
Does that mean you don't have anything worthwhile to say? Come on, if you are really as smart as I'm sure you tell all your friends you are then you can come up with something better to say than "are you stupid?" Does Windows have problems? Of course it does. Are these problems perpetuated in a large part due to "paper MCSE's" that really have no business running a large network. Abso-fucking-lutely. I work for a company that hasn't been damaged at all by any worms/virii in two years. This company has 40 Win NT and Win2k servers and do you know why we don't have problems....'cause we are not stupid. But you probably have a bigger dick than me and drive a cooler car because you use linux on a regular basis, so...I must be stupid.
The *nix junkies are going to make this thread 1000 posts long but the numbers are there. I can heartily belive that Windows has less security holes it's just that with Linux not having a viable market share no one really bothers to take the time to exploit those vulnerabilities. It's security by obscurity.
Let's say two auto makers each make a truck and company A sells 100,000 units of truck A and company B sells 1,000 units of Truck B. Truck A explodes into a fire ball 20 times and Truck B does the same 2 times. The popular conclusion is that Truck A must be unsafe because it exploded so much but the truth of the matter is that Truck B is actually 100 times more dangerous....but it only blew up twice so nobody will believe the facts.
Thats my.02 cents
You have to look at it this way, there definitely are games that small children should not be playing. Anyone who says that all games are good for kids of all ages just doesn't know what they are talking about. I do have to give props to Indy for at least trying to do something about the situation, their heart was in the right place just not their minds. Again it comes back to this being a parental issue, if parents would take the time to teach their kids right from wrong and maybe show them a little affection they wouldn't feel they have to turn to video games for vindication of their worth. Games should be for recreational purposes not to measure someones worth as a person because they are good at all games. I am ranting a little but I think most of you get what I am saying.
OMFG, If you need an MCSE for every five people then you have some pretty god damn stupid MCSEs. We have about 35 servers and 400 users, all over the US and there are 4 of us and we had 0% downtime last year. ZERO. Of course we are smart enough to understand clustering things like the DB servers so they exude a death rattle, but maybe that's just because none of us are paper MCSEs. That figure just seems way out of hand, our network runs like a well oil machine and I think have an 80 person IT department would just mess that up/.

Post the URL link on /. and get so many hits it crashes the server! Millions of Geeks clicking instead of working can't be wrong!

The greatest thing about my titanium glasses is that some little part of me would survive re-entry should I fall off the space shuttle in the future!

It's spelled 'Windows' not 'Windoze'. Go back to elementary school.

HAHA not dead so much as turned into a "Star Baby" and meandering around the universe with the traveler.
So they DON'T exude a death rattle. Sorry about that.
