You basically lose all meta information and are left with the note played, the start time, end time, and velocity. That's fine if you're simply playing back, but not so good for displaying. Is that a Bb or an A#? Is that a triplet or dotted 16ths or a staccatto 8th? MIDI notation software is horrible about quantizing that information when displaying it. But it doesn't matter when playing back.
Over the years, I've used a variety of music editing apps that allow you to open and print midi files. They may make MIDI files readable, but as a format for *humans* to read, MIDI sucks.
Who cares about rich movie stars and their MPAA-sanctioned award show? What slashdot needs in an award for those overpaid, underappreciated editors.
I propose: The Eddies!
Which editor is most in need of a spell checker? Which one obviously doesn't read the front page? Whom would you most like sent to federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison?
If you remember back to the 1992 primary, Bill Clinton once confessed to having an El Camino, and covering the bed with astroturf (he never did explain why). I'd bet dollars to donuts he got a blowjob or 2 in the back of that thing.
yeah... also they had Adobe, the car made out of clay.

Let's say you (an smtp server) recieve a piece of mail that claims to be from ed@aol.com. spf would ask aol.com what smtp server addresses they use. If the sending ip address isn't within that list, it's not from aol.com. Relaying might cause a problem, but their solution for forwarding would probably handle it.
a lot of spam is sent from home broadband connections, which may have legitimate use as email servers
I don't consider spam to be a legitimate use. If they are a legitimate smtp server, they can relay, or they've already got proper dns records set up for their home box.
You must have seen a different edit of "The Italian Job" than I did. In the version I saw, he was on screen for less than 10 seconds. That bomb was more of a car commercial than a movie. I don't know why Edward Norton agreed to be in it. Hell, I don't know why Marky Mark agreed to be in it.
I recently read that the 1-million mark had been passed for lawyers in the US. I think the surplus of lawyers is to blame for the sue-happy americans, which, of course, increases the demand for lawyers. Chicken, meet egg.
Actually, George W Bush has tried persuading the ChiComms to let their currency float. They won't (can't) because their banks are extremely fucked up. That giant sucking sounds would be chinese money leaving the country for American and European banks, causing the chinese bankin system to collapse overnight.
A couple weeks ago, a suit was trown out (because it was filed after the statute of limitations) when a boy died after swallowing a pin used to "shotgun" a soda.
No word yet if anyone has been killed trying to drink pepsi one while sky-diving.
Over the last few years, numerous restrictions have been placed on accounts to make this difficult (for example the system won't let you create an account named 'CmdrTaco' because there already is one listed)
So they don't allow you to create a new account... if the name is already used! holy shit! quick, get a patent!
I didn't deal with programmign the BeOS clipboard much, but I think it worked like DnD.
With DnD, the source application would create a message with the dragged data in it, and the target application would handle it.
The message could contain multiple types of data, so the source application could convert it into multiple formats, and let the receiver pick the one it supported.
For example, if you drag a color sample from the color picker, it might create a messge with the color in B_RGB_DATA format. It could also add the color as html code in a B_TEXT_DATA format. If the target application recognized B_RGB_DATA, it would use that. If it recognized B_TEXT_DATA, it would use that.
So stylized text could be sent in 2 formats, maybe RTF and ASCII, fancy word processors could use RTF and keep all the formatting. Something simpler like a terminal could use the ASCII data.
The picture could be sent as a picture, ascii text (the alt tag), and a path (the URL of the graphic).
There are still some problems, of course (I think Be was planning on changing it so the source/target could negotiate on which format to use), but I think it's a pretty decent system.
BeOS and NeXT used alt- as the default command key rather than control. BeOS had a setting to choose if you wanted to use alt or control, it would be nice if kde/gnome allowed you to choose.
Normally, I don't feel age is a defense against prosecution. Sure, sending gramps to jail tears at your heart strings (unless gramps is a perophile or pervert), but a crime is a crime. However, these guys do present a compelling case why there should be different standards for older people.

Post your nominations here!
At least the GNU/kFreeBSD guys aren't as fucked up as the GNU/Darwin guys. Talk about someone in need of a severe beating!

why would you dual boot into FreeDOS? There are a handful of DOS emulators/vms than run FreeDOS from within linux.

let's take an email address like ed@someplace.com. You do a DNS lookup for someplace.com.
Now let's take an email address like ed-slashdot@someplace.com. You still do a DNS lookup for someplace.com
Now, what exactly about commercial or throwaway accounts?
I don't know about that, but fucking kathleen fent without a condom will give you a rash, that's for damn sure.
Sorry, this is "innovation" in the same way "returning pages of unrelated adverstisements" is.
wonder no more
A company from San Fran called "SnoCap"... Sounds more like oral sex to me.
Having a bittorrent-type distribution system with the online music store always on might work, but there would probably be too many problems wrt DRM.
But what do I know? I've never run an unprofitable company with no business model before, Shawn has.

score 0 insightful? this deserves a +5 at least!
I suggest you ask your doctor to up your dosage.
5 years ago, someone giled a lawsuit over the pepsi points/harrier jet ad.

I bet his innocence lasts about as long as McCauley Culkin's ass cherry when he goes to bed with Michael Jackson!
