The thing is, the radio station has a clean signal to work with. Compression algorithms will work relitively well with that, but if you use the audio that comes from F.M. it will introduce alot of noise. This won't work as well as with the clean signal and in the end you'll probably have use more bandwidth just to broadcast the same audio at about the same quality.
Some Intel motherboards have a hardware rnd device built-in. There's even a driver in the linux kernel to access the device, and userspace tools (rng-tools) to feed the random bits into/dev/urandom at a specified interval. Check out http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/hardware-RNG/ for more info.
BitTorrent didn't provide "users with illegal copies of Revenge of the Sith", other users did. BitTorrent is just an internet protocol, it can't automatically pirate movies...
I don't have a problem with people going into IT if they are think it will be interesting work and get paid a pretty good salary when they are done school. I do have a problem with people going into IT just because they think can do little work and magically get rich. These people saturate the job market for the rest of us. Thankfully most of these people jump to business or some other field while they are still in school. If you go into IT, just be prepared to work for your money.
* And I don't think being a "genius" is a requirement to be able to work in IT.
OSS is about choises, and/etc really highlights this. People have different ideas on how apps should be configured, and I think putting all configurations in one place was a good compromise.
It may seem like your laptop is a little warm, but most laptops are designed to throtle the fan speed so that the cpu is cool enough and to conserve the battery at the same time. Most CPUs are designed to stand 70 - 80 degrees celcius temperatures and still be safe.

I wouldn't worry about it.
Wow, is your sister available?
I knew that was coming...
We could label those who chose to install the .9x versions of firefox as the "early adopters".
No, it seems that the page was outdated. The page now reads -0.06 on the Palermo Scale.
