2020 A.D.- Jihadi's conquer the Middle East and trigger World War III. This time with NUKES!!!
I think it's more likely that the Neo-Cons win and trigger WW3. This time with bunker-busting nukyular wepp'ns!!! Because WMD are dangerous only in the hand of the wrong people (quote courtesy of GWB).
2005 A.D.- Suriving four more years of George Herbert Walker Bush JUNIOR that begin TODAY. Now that jumping to a new universe sounds appealing. However, with my luck, I'll jump to the universe where he will be emperor of Earth
I avoid Sony because a client bought a VAIO laptop that he wanted to upgrade to Windows XP, and I checked online to see if it was possible. There was an Upgrading to Windows XP guide (this was right after it came out) on the site for this specific model.
Anyway, I stick the COA to it, install XP, and it turns out he had the lovely HSF Conexant chipset modem that was unsupported and needed his modem. And on the conexant website they stated an explicit lack of plans to update drivers.
I don't even see a necessity to make OGG the proprietary format. Bill Gates in his interview w/ Gizmodo said that they didn't put more codecs in one of their products because of the licensing of the codec.
He actually phrased it more like, "DRM issues," which is really absurd. It seems he's trying to embed it in people's skulls that licensing=copyright=DRM. Which is the same sort of semantic trickery MS and many large software companies have been using for a while to herd the masses into their 3x3 private pasture.
Anyway, my point is that I can't believe it slipped the interviewer's mind to point out FLAC, OGG, etc. have NO "DRM issues" whatsoever and would create a more robust product.
Okeedokee. And you have no idea about me either, so I'd appreciate it if you'd be polite. I shouldn't have called you retarded. It was petty of me.

I think it's because most people don't like to read. Or struggle with reading. And typing. I've noticed that in comparison to your average human being, I type like a mofo. It's funny, because since I lived in Mexico for 10 years, I didn't know I was such a nerd. Now I've been back in the US for a year and yup, I'm a nerd.
Alright. Sounds like a wonderful idea. I was going to call you on your bullsh*, but then I read your post history, and I found out you're actually just a little retarded.
Sorry. But still, what the hell do you mean by "creative or imaginative?" I don't understand what you're referring to.
I do agree that the iPod thing is stupid. But I'll leave it in my sig anyway.
Haha! I used to be obese and hate myself and never get laid, so I hardly think the 24th will be something I can't handle.
I'm going to make a bunch of money in just a couple hours on Tuesday. I just got a dollar per hour raise a week or two ago, I just installed Linux on a computer at work so I'm not a slave to Windows all day!
By 12:00am Monday my mom will have just completed the Landmark Forum and my girlfriend and father the Landmark Advanced Course and so the women in my life will be under an obligation to be responsible for themselves and their own emotions.
This January is actually the FIRST January that I'll have ever had regular sex, so take that Mr. Mathematics!
I know its not completely done but have you even looked at F-spot? http://www.gnome.org/projects/f-spot/ how about gThumb http://gthumb.sourceforge.net/ or digiKam http://digikam.sourceforge.net/Digikam-SP IP/rubriq ue.php3?id_rubrique=3
If they all would combine their forces, not only would they probably make a lot more headway, they'd have the ever so marketable name G-spotKam.
My brother learned a lot about the development of the Internet at a "Point and Click Linux" seminar. It turns out that IBM has given birth to many huge advances by donating time and material again and again. I don't have the specifics, but the information is out there.
And now they're releasing 500 patents under open licensing. I love IBM.
I agree. I don't think I could write something better in Italian, and I think the guy is from Italy. I think if you found this by yourself while whittling away the wee hours of the night you'd not be so hard on him. I think your beef is more likely with the poster of the topic and whoever approved it.
I have bookmarked it. This is the kind of crap I love. I just today acquired a Cassiopeia E100 for free, and I'm going to a)install Linux on it, and b)see if I can get wireless running on it. This is gonna be awesome.
My favorite software slogan ever is for ethereal, "Sniffing the glue that holds the internet together"
I'm sure a lot of you know this but this is in reference to TCP/IP being called "the glue that holds the internet together" Oh so funny. And oh so off-topic. I'm sorry. I love you guys.
1.- I am totally on board with you about taking back language, and your distinction between copy protection and copy prevention is a good one. I'll use it copiously and with disregard of the feelings of others.
2.- Your sig. I think ESPECIALLY Jesus hates listening to Creed. Think about it. At least they're not singing about YOU.;-)
Currently, using P2P file sharing is kind of like having unprotected sex with a stranger.
Yes, and in the early days of sex, that was how it was done. Nowadays we have condoms, marriage, etc. This is a bad analogy I'm using, but you started it. The point is that p2p is in its early stages. As soon as someone with any clout has the balls and brains to utilize p2p, it'll explode.
I don't get why people are belittling the Netscape browser. Sure, it's just a Firefox knock-off, but Mozilla was just a Netscape knock-off. I don't really see the negative impact from this, though I know I won't be using the Netscape browser because I already use Firefox.
The web was a better place when Netscape had a market share to speak of. The proliferation of the Netscape browser will increase the pull towards web standards, because AOL puts a lot of push behind their products and the fact that they're using the Firefox rendering engine is awesome.
I almost thought he was a big fat wuss until the end of the 4th part of the interview where he actually stuck it to the Gates-meister when he whipped out the can of bullsh*. But he did. I like Mr. Gizmodo man.
I've never really gotten the mechanism whereby software giants keep their software secure by not telling anyone about the security hole until it's fixed. First, we know about information leaks. Secondly, it's terribly profitable for some people to sit around and figure out security holes so they can steal from people.
Especially in the position that Microsoft is in, with the lion's share of the market, and a supposed interest in keeping my data secure, I would assume that the first move would be to notify their customers of any security hole that might be potentially harmful to me. Given the number of them, I guess it would keep my mailbox full, but I wouldn't mind.
Oh, I don't use Windows. Nevermind. Yay for Linux (and Linus)!
OK, I agree. I definitely am rooting for Apple at the moment (until they have 51% market share, that is;-)), but I'm kind of a tinkerer/hacker/modder, so I have a hard time with things that I can't open up and break.

i'm not retarded. just different from you.

You forgot... "c) Take over the world!"

I would need the E105 for that. 16MB of memory is just not enough in practical application.

You know how we are always slashdotting sites? We can perform a reverse physical slashdot of any product with HDMI and just not buy it.
I'm not buying it, that's for sure. I've got too tight a wallet and my morals are too fat.
