In the north (in fact) of Norway, where the acts of the orginal movie was played, there's really nothing at all to do. And then it really doesn't help being an insomniac.
That helps the plot in a "no wonder he's going mad"-kinda way. Kinda nice and touchy:)
So you actually find it odd that a guy actually makes sure the actual artists he likes get some money, so they bother/are allowed to keep on?
And even more. If he's DJing, he probably makes money of it, right? I would feel like shit if I dj'ed pirated records. But that's just me.
I know moral, honesty and integrity are having hard times these days, but if buying music you like is odd, I'm defintly gone old-fashioned long time ago.
Subtitling takes time. Yeah. Thats why the subtitling in Norway was ridden with errors. People in the cinema laghed all along. Thats how much work subtitling is. I got quite amazed when a guy who couldn't tell "invincible" from "invisible".
No wonder they need time!
It did actually get alot better in version 6... but some pages, and I've encountered one (-1-), doesn't render properly. And for the defence... It renders more pages properly than Netscape 4.x:)
And even then it's as quick as anything else on your PC? You gotta be using slow software. Opera [opera.com] has -great- rendering speed. And tabbed browsing which I love:)
Vinyl may have better soundquality than CDs. But thatsnot really the issue here.
A CD has a specified, fixed audioresolution. No matter how the original audio sounds, it will have to deal with these fixed limits. But there arent any loss due to compression. If you master a 16-bit 44.1 kHz tune on your PC and save the music as uncompressed audio, you will be hearing exactly what you originally made. Hence it's not lossy. How hard can that be to get?
As for MP3s... Any decent program informs you MP3 is a lossy format, when you try to save MP3s from your own actual work. You don't get back what you saved. That is lossy.
That CD's have a fixed resolution doesnt mean it's lossy. That the channel from artist to instrument to mixer to mastering (and... more) is lossy is something entirely different. Get your terms right, huh?
Ofcourse he was. But there's one thing I don't get. Maybe he explained this to you, and in that case you might inform me.
The MPAA and RIAA says we don't buy the product but a license to the use of the content. So we don't actually own it, we just own the right to use it, under their terms. Isnt that sweet?:)
Sweet because that would imply that if I loose a CD or a DVD that would mean I should get a new one for free, right? I mean, I got the right to view the content, right?
If I wasn't getting a new one for free, that would conclude I actually bought the product, not just a license to use it.
So in order for the MPAA and RIAA to validly claim that we only buy our license to view the content, any dealer would be obligated to give us a new copy for free, if we loose or damage ord CDs and DVDs, right? (And he should ofcourse be given a refund for the lost/faulty product)
I use Opera, and Opera only for surfing. Identified as Opera. Can't see any good reason not to. If there is a site I can't view, I'll use IE (my bank for instance, uses some wicked scripting Opera doesn't like).
Can't remember if it's the default identification though. I think most users are too dumb to change the settings, or even be aware of them.
As light doesnt have mass, the gravity that would be required to catch it would require a mass equal to infinity.
This makes the equation quite interesting. Probably why someone (can't remember who, maybe Einstein) once said: "Black Holes are where God divided by zero."
And a 4th dimension

Physicians say they can't account for all the enrgy and mass that are beeing sucked into a black hole. As one of the elementary laws of physics is that the mass/energy of the universe is constant, this is a rather interesting remark.
It would mean that the remained of this energy goes off to somewhere else. Where? Noby knows.
But if this string theory implies that a black hole can memorize the structures of what is beeing drawn into it, that would make all that sci-fi black-hole/worm-hole multidimensional-travel things alot more real. At least in theory.
Because if mass and energy disappears it has to appear somewhere else. And the only way it can go somewhere else, is by using dimensions unkown to us.
I know this sounds spaced out beyond belief, but I like to keep my mind open for new things. If they're scientific enough:)
Could anyone actually knowing anything about string-theory comment this?
And ofcourse they now support raw-sockets in WinXP. For average users by default. Who'll say "I saw that one coming" when a major WinXP based DDoS attack starts to rage the net?
Okay. Anything can be done, if someone bothers to figure out how. Big news.
Let me do an analogy... Would you pay for polluted water, if you were told that "you couldn't tell" the difference? Would you pay full price, for something you knew were intensionally polluted. With the intension to take something away from you? Guess not.
I may copy Cds too damaged for my regular cd-player too play. So with a reasonable try-n-fail ratio I may make copies that are way better than the original.
That can't mean anything else than that these crippled discs have a serious amount of dis-information, when try-n-fail, well, fails. Who's to know if these discs got the same durability and reliabilty as ordinary Cd's? Who's to know if it's even close?
And the only way to figure that out is probably by taking a look at the scrambling algorhytm used. Hands up anyone who believes that it will be given out to the public. Which means we have to take the industrys word that these are just as good. And I don't trust a word coming from anyone up high.
Whats the point in making the data on CDs redundant when the redundancy is used to cripple the audiocorrection algorhytms???
I am aware that CDs got probably around 70% redundacy in the information. Thats keeps them playable when they get scratched. Now how will that be with the crippled discs?

Nah. That jsut helps the plot.

I got quite amazed when a guy who couldn't tell "invincible" from "invisible" obviously got to subtitle episode II.

Actually. It doens't take years.
Cannabis tends to grow on rather quickly. At most a couple of months. Especially in tropical climates.
Point taken, but still... It could be used as a agressive pre-defense-state tactic, sent along with the recon/intelligence :)
Or you could just pre-grew all the herbs and drop them :) Then the recon people could loose some intelligence on the trip!

Heh. Nice ad work. The site got /.ed
hihi
Im gonna disagree even more.
When they finally get IP multicast to work, it's gonna take 128 kbps to distribute to the 4-5 (whatever) billion people of earth.
Which would outsmart a 100,000 watt antenna quite so bigtime.
I thought this was supposed to common knowledge to engineers? So incompetent people is finally being punished :)
As if you've read and agreed to any EULAs anyway. You just pushed the "I agree"-button and thought "Damn they're anoying."
Have EULAs ever been tested in court btw.?
Ofcourse he was. But there's one thing I don't get. Maybe he explained this to you, and in that case you might inform me.

I think this claim makes sense.
It didnt work on this NT4.0 box when I ran IE5.5. It just had a javascript:.................. url.
Which should prove that Microsoft do work on security, even if they're not making it better :)
If you use Opera it remembers every form filled, and the page is beautifully cached.
VERY unlike IE, who doesn't even remeber form content. Very annoying indeed.

Since that makes 25% of us foreign to US why care about US law :)

So... if people who have reflected opinions conserning privacy and technology stops voting for anti-'piracy'-politicians... Who's left to vote for?
So now the retards are given more power. And you wanted to gain... what?
What we don't need now is not what a ADMCA wouldn't do. (Don't whine if you don't get it. I'm pretty confident i don't)
What we need to do is to hack the WinXP to automaticly remove all occurences of the phrase DMCA.
Ok. So much for free speech, but it WOULD be nice still :)
