I knew someone who worked for a company briefly during the dotcom days that was working on a web-based Flash app that essentially used Flash to reimplement a subset of Flash. Drawing tools, animation, timelines, etc were recreated within Flash. I'm not sure if that EULA clause existed at the time, but once Macromedia found out what they were planning on doing some very serious legal threats were sent their way. Obviously, the project was abandoned...
Although a bit dated, the Simple Machines Records Mechanic's Guide has all the info you need about recording, releasing and promoting your band/record/label, along with information on publishing and copyright and a bunch of other stuff. I don't think it has anything about online distribution (like I said, it's a little dated), but all of the comments above should probably fill that in for you. Jenny Toomey, one of the people who put that out is now running the Future of Music Coalition, a think tank (if you will) whose goal is to ensure that future policy regarding music and media is sane and artist-friendly. Well worth a look if any of this actually means anything to you.
Hey codemonkeys, here's a fun project for you. Put together a couple of fat-strippers - progs that'll remove either the PPC or x86 code from fat binaries.
Jesus, it's not like I restore every time I get killed. Like I said, I only use it when I die due to something stupid (like trying to pretend I'm actually doing work when the boss walks by).
I also loved the paper folding feature where the paper was folded in a width 0.5inch harmonica.
Our new Canon ImageRunner came with this feature. You'd think that for all the things they list that it does, that they would've included this one. Of course, it doesn't do it very often, so maybe they just didn't want to get people's hopes up...
The best solution is the nethack solution. You can quit & save whenever you want, but you can only load it once. i.e, it's not save per se but rather stand-by.
Ahhh, that's why I have a little script that copies my save file before launching Nethack. If I go and get myself killed in a stupid way, I can just copy the file back to the Nethack directory and retry that part again.
Also, how long would it take to stop spinning, or to develop a wobble?
The Earth already has a wobble. It's called axial precession and is a 26,000 year cycle. There's a page here that seems to cover a bunch of the Earth's odd tilt and wobble cycles.
As has been said, "recent" is in geologic terms. And plantery scientists are geologists. They don't ask you CS guys to change your terminology to better suit the terms that they think in. Well, maybe they do, but you guys still don't do it...
In other news, scientists have announced that they've discovered what appear to be canals made by intelligent beings on the surface of Mars. They're also investigating a giant mound of rock that appears to have been made into the shape of a face...
No, they're not aiming for typical consumers. They are aiming for your typical PHB though. And it'll be fun explaining to your PHB that the two 80GB drives in there don't necessarily mean he gets 160GB of storage. When you mention redundancy and extra data security he'll question why you ordered him such crappy equipment that they needed to double up on it. Or if you stripe them for extra speed and one drive fails, he'll say "But I thought RAID meant it was redundant." Overall, I'd say it's best just not to even go either place with the PHB.
How many of the people that get these are gonna end up striping their disks instead of mirroring them, thereby negating the entire "data reliability" argument?
I don't see why the government doesn't just create it's own private network for data communication. And maybe if they were feeling really generous they could let some of the more prestigious universities out there onto it also...
Slashdot Mirror
I heard the new Apple product would be "revolutionary" and completely new, changing live as we know it and such...
Hmmm. Well, they already unveiled their two-button mouse, so it's not that either...

You forgot to mention that it's great to use for picking up your date!

...with a minor in Asian studies (hey, "Pacific Rim" was a hot term back then)
Admit it...You just did it so that you could tell everyone in college that you were looking forward to getting a Pacific rim job...
Oh, I know the answer to this one! To impress HR and the PHBs.
Yeah yeah. I did some quick rounded math in my head (5000ft instead of 5280). I realized that it's closer to 9 after I posted.
Ahh. Thank god for the power of unix. The last time I ran a prog to strip a binary was in the 68k/PPC days.

6.8 would be a light jog.
600 ft/min is just over an 8 minute mile. I'd be amazed if most slashdotters could do that.

I shudder at the thought of a paper jam in that beast.
Why? Afraid that your page is going to come out whole?

But that implies that he got good grades...
You mean I can adjust the curves and levels of an image to have it adjust the tonal range?!? I'm shocked!

Anyone know if this might have any effect on the axial tilt and precession (41,000 and 26,000 year wobble cycles) of the Earth?
Exactly, stuff like this makes me absolutely sick.
Yeah, measles will do that to you...
Yes, if it involves money (particularly payment to you - raises, refunds, etc), the other person is almost definitely speaking in geologic terms...
