there's a ogg plug-in that's been available for the quicktime and itunes on os x for quit some time and I doubt it will take long for this to come out for the pc version now that it's available. I also wouldn't doubt that itunes will at some point in the future support wma, either natively or through a plug-in. for christ's sakes, this thing hasn't even been out a week and everyone's bitching about what it doesn't do.
apple doesn't give any money directly to the RIAA, it's in the contract with the labels that they take care of the artists and all other responsiblities- apple gets a clean 1/3 from each song sale with no liabilities.
yeah, but this really isn't true- at least not for the right reasons. itunes can import all the standard formats into it's library and then into the ipod. unfortunately what their talking about is that some of the other services are using propretory drm that probably won't allow itunes to import it- this is not necessarily a downfall for itunes because with the amount of market share they currently have with the ipod and what should naturally follow with itms, the others will have to bend and I wouldn't doubt that you will at sometime in the future be able to import the other protected types into itunes & ipod.
yeah, whoever posted this should have had thier url as the very first link in the story-/.'ers don't even read the topic before they start clicking the new links, but having to RTFA first- link is at the bottom- will prevent their site from getting the amount of traffic it truely deserves.
so I switched from my favorite web radio station to listen to this and I thought it sounded like a children's song. so I went back to the station and this was playing.
I've never heard this song before, but it seemed much more appropriate in my opinion;)
it looks pretty interesting and it's pretty reasonably for what it is at $1650 including a dvd burner;

pretty cool, but it has another interesting effect: I'm trying it on an ibook using an extended desktop and the external monitor shows the strange coloring you mention while the ibooks built in screen still shows straight monochrome.
still cool though.
but it's funny how mechanical the description is- the details are more industrial then I had expected. the acutal sound of the machine gave me the first impression of nuematics in action- I"ve worked in the paste with several different nuematic systems and I honestly thought the activity of the balls represented a nuematic system also.
so, when will they create an 'over the bed' version of this?
the last paragraph reads: "We are going to have a situation where people are going to have to walk a long distance. They need to be careful," Bloomberg said. "Our advice is to go home, open up your windows, drink a lot of liquids."
I would have to assume they mean beer- cause that's what I drink after work and with no power to go home to I'm sure the neighborhood bars are doing well.
Listen to it, it's very interesting. Basically the woman they interview had a kidney issue and needed a donor- when they tested her sons they said that it was impossible for them to be her sons. her blood type is from one egg and other parts of her are from the other egg.
A detective talks about the possiblity of someone like this commiting murder where there is a blood sample left at the scene, but when they take a swap sample from the inside of the suspects mouth it shows a completely different dna.
so much sco stuff has been happening lately and there's no sign of it going away anytime soon. The big shocking ones can make the main page, but I'm willing to bet there's so much sco stuff that you guys are turning away some of it. You've recently done this with apple and games. I think a sco option would be useful.
now I don't have the exact dates and don't feel like looking them up, but from how I think amendments are ratified, this does not agree with your statement.
the article and the fact that taco is encouraging early sunday morning drinking. the only problem I see is that it's still too early to see drunken' posts, as this would be way more interesting if it came out at say midnight or so...
Have you ever posted drunk? other than all the obvious tactics, it's a great way to drop karma like crazy. Of course you can always post AC, but then you never remember when or where you made the comment you want to see again.
The reason I'd like to see them get sued is because they knew that this had happened and made zero effort to contact their customers who may have been effected by this ASAP- I really feel that this type of disclosure is their responsibilty and I'm insulted that I had to find out about it via public news sources when they hadn't even notified their customer service reps about the possibility of inquiries regarding this.
This is not a situation I wanted to be in, but I was in NY for the conference and considered the network security at h2k2 to be considerably worse- it was much more of a known risk, fresh password lists were being post on boards every day.
with Kinko's being a paid service, I would expect a higher quality of service. If you goto a restaurant and they serve you the wrong food, you get them correct it right away. if you goto the dry cleaners and your clothes come out worse, you make them cover it. it's a quality of service issue. In this case I would expect to be notified ASAP by a company that I paid and trusted the service of, even if the discovery of the issue came up a year later. I don't know if I've been effected by this or not bacause they haven't disclosed the particular stores or dates involved, and in my opinion they should have been required to do so.
So, to finish this off- I don't know if I suffered any loss from this or not, I haven't noticed anything yet, but I wasn't looking and certainly didn't expect to see a story like this that may have effected me a year afterwards. Whether anyone suffered a loss or not, there should be something done so that the security of their customers isn't as at risk and they should have mechnism in place to notify those customers if something does happen- it's called customer satisfaction.
I used a NYC Kinko's during H2K2 last year on 7th Ave. I've been unable to find it now due to dilution of the story, but I found on online article the other day that said this had actually gone on for two years and that the person that discovered it had used a computer at one of their stores on 7th Ave, but they have two. I used the one at 500 N. 7th, store # 0961
I called their customer support line on Wednesday as soon as I saw this article, and they said they didn't know anything about it- the person I spoke to called me back and said that their corporate office would get back to me by the end of the day.... I'm still waiting.
I called the store directly last night and the manager, sounding like he was lying through his teeth, told me that they were absolutely not one of the stores.
So, I've very interested in knowing if this has class-action lawsuit potential since Kinko's was prosecuting this case and obviously had no intentions of notifying their customers of the risk they were at while using their store. If there is an existing lawsuit, how do I find it?
Thanks!!!!

geeeee
let me think about this!!!
how similar these this site is the subject site.....

That's really gross.
ogg support is now available for quicktime and itunes. So I'd assume that someone will do the natural thing and get it into the ipod soon.
Listen to it, it's very interesting. Basically the woman they interview had a kidney issue and needed a donor- when they tested her sons they said that it was impossible for them to be her sons. her blood type is from one egg and other parts of her are from the other egg.

Prohibition was created by women marching in the streets, complaining that their husbands had become drunks in the saloons.
Prohibition was created with the 18th amendment and women received the right to vote with the 19th amendment.
now I don't have the exact dates and don't feel like looking them up, but from how I think amendments are ratified, this does not agree with your statement.
