I'll agree with what most people are saying. Downloading a movie might be nice, but not all of us have the hardware to visualize it properly. Sure, there's people out there for whom sound and picture quality do not matter, but they should all be shot.
are you some kind of flaming wierdo who plays an album from begging to end?
Yep. A good portion of the CDs I own are continuous and you get the full experience listening to them straight-up. MP3s are nice, but I only use it for encoding tracks that exist on their own...
Also, MP3 is notorious for a flat low end. I keep my CDs for when it's time to bring the noise.
If anyone put her in snow crash I would feel obligated to firebomb the studio. Her and the whole shiftless pseudo-ska genre should be lined up and shot.
Besides, she is 'so last century'. Casting would select someone more hip like that kirsten dunst girl from drop dead gorgeous...
Maglev will be much improved once superconductors reach the boiling point of nitrogen. I have in my posession a superconductor that works at the boiling point of liquid N. I used it in an eighth grade science fair.:) It's Y-Ba-Cu-O or something similar. -pod
I know this is waaaay offtopic, so moderate it to hell if you all feel like it, but I hate it when people like you go around thinking you're so high and mighty just because you're some sort of engineering or scientific major, and you act like it's a travesty that you have so much work. It's your fault. You picked your damn major, ya know. Then you all go off and make assumptions that people of other majors are slackers, etc...
I'll admit I detest the Marley shirt wearing/ecotopia wanting/save the planet people as much as you do, but they're in all majors, not just the social sciences.
Honestly, I'd love to see what you think of my majors (motion pictures/fine art photography). I bet you think we all dress in black, sit on our asses on friday nights and go through DVDs by the dozen, sip lattes, etc...

It's sort of the truth. I've met many friends in real life that I have first met online. The mailing lists relating to the clubbing/rave lifestyle are proof of this. I spend maybe 15 hours a week online, but I still get out with my friends on weekdays, and on weekends I live like a damn 80s rock star minus the crashing my car into the lamppost.:)
Someone finally pointed that out. It's a tray loaded internal mechanism...no scratching.:( Get 2 SL-1200s and a Pioneer mixer and you're set (John Digweed use the above) -p0d
Spying on your neighbor would only really be possible with a higher res. At 1m res, I'd look at most like a dark blob. Same for film sets and whatnot. Auto spying would be difficult given the resolution.
Once the resolution for commercial birds goes to <30 cm, then let's start worrying.
Definitely...Y'all gotta keep quiet about the usage...myself included. Or at least post AC if you're gonna blabber about running a meth lab next to your Beowulf cluster.:)
I'd say it is a regional difference. I've noticed in places out in the sticks, pot is huge, along with the other 'hippie' class drugs (Looking at the four walls and lava lamps would get boring after awhile...break out the bong!). Whilist you get to where i live (miami fl) and harder/different drug use is up...i.e. coke as a harder drug, e as a different drug, since these drugs lend themselves to the more 'urban' culture.
I think it is save to say that Neo's punk friends were into some stuff heavier than just a few Heinekens. </I>
hence the line 'Mescaline, it's the only way to fly'.
a sidenote, a pill I took once was scored with a white rabbit logo. I didn't go tumbling down the rabbit hole, but I felt like a rabbit for a few hours:).
There was actually some comedian a few years ago that told a tale of 3 stoners at woodstock 69 who ran out of weed and came up during the dead set and realized 'wow these guys really do suck!'
The money should be steered to shipping the Russian module for the ISS over here so we can launch it. Or the companies could finance a 'tourist' module on the ISS:)
The British SUN is a right-wing tabloid that has a topless woman on page 3 everyday. Somehow the "family-values" thing got lost on them when it comes to getting their 3 million daily sales.
So? Screw family values. If they don't want to see the titties, they can read another paper. Besides, what's wrong with a little skin (ooo sex scary!) We're a bunch of prudes in this country and it sickens me. Viva los titties! Sex is not bad (or if you prefer, fucking is fun!)
sorry about the offtopicness, but I had to spout off.

Prosperity sure:). I have no problems whatsoever with prosperity, I'm honestly the most greedy person you would meet. Happiness? Maybe to Ma and Pa Kettle in Peoria, Ill. But look what the likes of Disney have done to locales like Times Square? It used to be a whole lotta fun down there. Now it's all corporate Disnified 'family-safe' fun. People would go to NYC and Times for the edginess, the sleaze...now it's rapidly becoming Disney-North. Sure, there's elsewhere to go, and these corporations can't possibly do that sort of thing everywhere, but you have to feel bad for those who were affected by it (i.e. the small business owners displaced by the Disney Store, etc..)
Basically, I think Katz is just scared that AOL-TW (there, I made an acronym) is going to homogenize entertainment for the bulk of the population. He may be blind as to other options (DSL for net access, DirecTV, Echostar, over-the-air NTSC, HDTV for TV viewing) but you all can't blame him for being a little scared.
Bravo, Mr. Case for your recent merger, I wish you the best of luck. But I think it's our duty as Slashdotters aware of other options to let the masses realize that they have a choice still in their entertainment/net access options.
Again, AOL-TW may be big, but there is so much more out there...ex. there's thousands of independent record labels from the kid with the DAT deck down the street to operations like Boxed (www.cluboxed.co.uk check it out!)...We just have to keep a careful eye on the new company to make sure they don't get too out of control.

Here in NJ/NYC it's fairly common in new setups...the new 63 story condo in Miami is going to have it, too...
I concur. Mock Sveedish is not complete without some Bork Bork Bork!!!
Bork Bork Bork !
If that was possible, I want the little 'dododododododododo' that Austin Powers' communications devices do when they want his attention...'Yes Basil?'
Gwen stefani should be hung.

Further proof, look at most catridge and needle designs nowadays. Most are pretty rugged and able to stand up to some BBB style scratchin'.

We have the same issue with afterhours on south beach as they do in san francisco. Maybe jwz can come out here and help us after he's done out there :)

Rolls can be tested. I am in possession of an e testing kit which allows you to see if the pill is good or bad or just plain baking soda.

Hear hear. Most of us are not bigoted against the Chinese, it's the Chinese gov't and economic system we all don't care for.

Reminds me of that Simpsons episode where homer became so fat he couldn't use a normal phone cause his fingers were too fat.
