Those wishing for MAD quality and mpg123 compatibility may wish to check out mpg321, a drop in replacement for mpg123 that uses MAD for its MP3 decoding.
I, as well, can vouch for MAD's extreme sexiness, by the way. Try it and you'll never go back.

Some people and their fsking money trees...
I've never had a tree with money on it, much less one that would check my file system integrity for me. =)
But G4 is a mark of Apple's trade, computer hardware. A television network using G4 as it's name is much different from Compaq releasing a new line of desktops called G4's. It's kind of like how Microsoft can't sue Joe's Windows Factory for using Windows in its name. Logos are a different story, though.
Bzzt- try again. Point is, the library is the entity that made the decision to place it in scifi. The problem is, the ambiguity lies in who decides how to classify the book? The government? The publisher? Obviously the government and the publisher are going to have different views here, so how do you settle this?
Agreed. Also, this is extremely vague. What do you do to books bordering on science fiction? Defining genres is almost never that exact. I am all for more funding for NASA, but this doesn't seem like a very well thought out way of doing it- too much ambiguity.
From a technology standpoint, you're right. From a market standpoint, you're wrong. Backwards compatibility is almost always going to take precendence over new, incompatible technology.
Open source software is a threat to Microsoft's business model, and it is a competitor which they cannot attack with their traditional maneuvers.
It's not Ipen Source that's the threat, it's Free Software. FreeBSD is open source, but you can turn around, take that code and put it in a closed commericial product, and sell it without ever releasing your source. I'm not going to argue the points of different licences, but anything Microsoft can take the code from and not have to give back, they aren't going to see as a threat.
Whoa.. hold on now.. I get great benefits like lower sound quality, can't play it on my current equipment, can't make a legitimite copy of it.. AND I get to pay more? This is great!
On a serious note, correct me if I'm wrong, but when the hell could companies get away with charging more for a product that does less, and still make it a viable business model? I mean, that the kind of stuff only monopolies *coughRIAAcough* get away with.. oops.. I said too much. *hides*

Hm.. no domain name, and a subdirectory called goat. No clue what that might be. :)
Bout 98 cents too high for one of her tracks, no?
What do you mean by 'her'?
That was very informative- thank you. Do you have links to the programs you wrote, or are they in commercial software?
From someone who has played them, how does Chess compare to Go or Shogi in terms of depth and style of play?
I guess naming something the "Model 40 POS" cash register has different connotations in the cash register and computer industries. ;)

At first I thought Slashdot had stooped to selling porn links in their articles. =P

um.. not that I minded... yeah.
Yeah.. and ever since he stole DOS, we have to terminate our strings with "$" in asm.. aaaugh.
Oh, I see.

Er, what's does Apple have to do with pong?
Nice first post.. ppft.. *laughs at you*
Sorry, I misread your post, and thought you were being sarcastic. :) My bad.

It really is a testament to....OHH, PUPPIES!
I really wish people would actually FINISH their.. hey, was that a penguin?

It's not a bug, it's a feature. ;)
I will be glad when we move to something other than x86, as well.

Hah... yeah, you can keep telling yourself that. AC got it fair and square.. we all know ACs are the only TRUE trollers.
D'oh. I could have sworn something did.
If I recall correctly, the games that come with Windows 2000, when minimized, appear to be open Excel documents. =)
You mean NERV? =P
