I always try to tell people that when I'm drinking hot coffee on a hot day... they insist I'm wrong and get an iced drink. Nice to hear that there are others who know the truth.
As a matter of fact, no they are not! I grew up in the south east and was incredibly surprised to find that air conditioners are not very common in west coast homes... well at least not in southern california homes.
Don't ya know, it's because electricity is so damn expensive here! Well, plus we have nice ocean breezes or the Santa Ana winds most of the time.

More importantly they have to be standing in your driveway while you ADMINISTER your AP for 100 hours!
WEP is just fine for this level of security.
Now as far as packet sniffing and random buggery, well it's certainly vulnerable and I wouldn't deploy it on a corporate level in any high traffic business district.
I worked with this guy last year. He liked to work on all the tangential problems on our project... things like how to integrate Samba protocol with our proprietary API... fun stuff with actual real results...
He went on hiatus and never really came back. I heard about this particular stunt this morning from a coworker, best ten minutes of the day...
My thoughts were that this would be fun to gamble on... say put together pools or spread objectives for various test takers and bet money on how close they will come to their goals. Say you've got a guy who says he can get the absolute average... well you bet on him getting within 20 points or you say noway and take the smaller gain, whatever.. gambling on people's ability to read the test and perform how ever they want to sounds quite interesting to me...
It also does a fsck -y to the system... and runs the rest of the standard UNIX maintenance jobs, like log rotation, etc. There is a slim chance you would see a noticeable difference.
IF you set up a special account for each set of downloads, say a 'collection' you could easily sell access to it by selling off the username and password... just make sure you change the billing info in the account first.
I won't be surprised to see these iTMS 'collections' for auction on eBay in the coming months. Though this seems like it has similar issues to the Ultima Account auctions.
Maybe you should start registering names now before the flood hits and Apple puts limits on Credit Card / Accounts ratios.
Have you listened to an AAC at 128 bitrate? Albums of 20 songs only cost $9.99 A ten minute classical song costs only 0.99.
You can burn them to CD in straight audio format (aiff), no DRM included. After that you can do what you want, straight to mp3 and Kazaa if you feel the need... nearly as many times as you want (playlist has to change every ten burns). Every had your CD chewed up by a dog? scratched while moving? ever get a refund? isn't that what backups are all about?
Yes you are missing almost everything... you got the 0.99 a song part correct, everything else was just FUD. Insightful my arse.
Ah but the publicity? Priceless. Apple hasn't been the topic of so many cafe conversations since the original iMac and that was totally unwarranted... iPod, maybe... but this at least deserves the publicity.
I see a lot of former p2p users re-downloading the songs they enjoyed in a higher quality, meta-complete, legal format. Kinda how people replaced their mix-tapes from high-school and college with real CDs back in the 80s/early 90s. That could take some time. One thing p2p did was to broaden the musical horizons for many people. Also there may too be those who found singles on p2p who never could get a hold of the full album of some artist they liked... more sales.
Anyways, I don't see the overall quantity of downloads dropping that much over the next year and of course with the added 95% of the consumers out there any month now just getting started, well...
Biggest problem with OGG from the commercial POV is no DRM capabilities, no copy protection.
If the spec developers decide to create a useful implementation of DRM for OGG, a version that fits into the OSS POV (think Linus's description), then you may see plenty of worldwide support for OGG.
Think about all the cheap hardware manufacturers who don't want to negotiate bulk licensing for the 50 billion McDonalds audio toys they make next month to go in the happy meals... or all the embedded linux devices which can use OGG w/o any special software, ringtones anyone?
Anyways, if the OGG people play their cards right they may still end up as the standard of choice for everything BUT personal music jukebox... with 'good' DRM they could even do that to. Until then there will be WMA and AAC.
I'll stick to AAC which at least has more than one company to hold responsible for a stable format...
(did you hear? almost none of the Windows Server family software will run on Windows Server 2003! what are the odds that M$ would require a 'forced upgrade'... apparently pretty damn good, new licensing agreements all around! Yeah!).
How many of you are working the same job for less pay/perks/compensation than during the 'bubble'? Why is your work so much less valuable now than it was then? I'm making twice as much as I did in 1997 but then again I was 19. How about the rest?
I'd like to propose that the VCs who still have all that money invested, one way or another in technology already got their cake and are now getting to eat it for cheap.
Step 1: Put out a lot of money to create a new industry
Step 2: Make a lot of money off of IPOs and idiot public traders. Pull out of the market.
Step 3: Call the bubble over and tell all your now barely surviving companies you can't afford to give them any more money, after you've made such a huge killing the year before.
Step 4: Create huge savings by cutting huge numbers of employees and cutting out all the perks. Bring down that 'burn rate'.
Step 5: Make longterm gains off the overworked proceeds of a 'recession'.
Well it may not completely accurate but I think it applies to some of the venture operations.
There are many available products which do this. Look around for one of the flat plastic magnifying lenses which are designed specifically for this purpose. It's analog and old school but they cost less than $10.
You lay them over what you want to read and voila... small text becomes big.

"Yes, I did release the source. The binaries you generated function exactly the same as the ones I gave you. Part of their function is to verify that they were created using the same secret key as the server they are trying to connect to."
Which means that you and your 10,000 buddies can implement your own service with your own secret server key to do the exact same thing, minus the subscription if you so choose.
You have the source of the client so building a responsive server shouldn't be all that difficult.
Depends on his Age. I'm 25 and I make 60k a year which is quite high for my age but if this guy is say 40 then 50k is definitely closer to less than average...
Another ask Slashdot about wedding rings/bands... is there some taboo about re-reading old discussions? how often do topics need to re-emerge? Really, should certain topics be on a recurrent posting schedule? how about case mods? or anything holiday oriented? (for that matter can we just get a monthly windows security alert?)
I still don't get why National Public Radio is using Video formats for audio streams... why not just use some freakin' MP3? This is national and public right? Does it really need to be DRM'd?
Again... what is so hard about offering an mp3 stream? Then everyone could listen to it with any player they want.
Try running the Disk Utility and Repair Privileges. It could be that you have a faulty install CD which is setting privs incorrectly and not allowing the rc script to start up your Ethernet on boot.

Have you updated with any of the post 10.2 updates?
This isn't just for internal use... it works specifically with your firewall to provide secure authentication for Customers, Partners and Remote Employees around the world so you have a single sign on Messaging system for EVERYONE in your business.
My company could use this.
Of course to really see all the benefits you will want to use the other components as well which all use Liberty spec and SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) for completely single sign on to messaging (e-mail), calendaring, instant messaging and web portal / content management.
Remember that this is just the latest incarnation of iPlanet.

i just sent in a complaint about the quality of a download and I got an e-mail telling me I had been re-authorized to download the same song.
It's technically and architecturally possible, just not part of the current business model. I haven't thought through the reasons why as yet.
IF you set up a special account for each set of downloads, say a 'collection' you could easily sell access to it by selling off the username and password... just make sure you change the billing info in the account first.

So why should the University be paying for the bandwidth so you, non-student, can get free stuff?
It's not like the students are paying for it... well they maybe pay a small fee with tuition, but certainly not as much as say a cable subscription.
Have you had a better experience with another brand, playing very high bit rate files? If so please inform the rest of us what our options are.
If all of the portable players suck at high bit rate files... well, what then?
