Where is ALL the aforementioned GAP BRIDGING?
Hidden somewhere in the subtext?
While I applaud the pretty interfaces that X-windows managers allow, most of them really overly complicate the issue for most people. One of the reasons (perhaps a minor one, depending on your opinion) that Linux has not taken off on the desktop, is that people/sheeple want conformity. They don't want a million different ways to embed an MP3 player in their desktops.
The cartoon audio tracks are recorded on high-tech sound gear and are edited with equally high-quality audio edit gear.
Recording on high-tech gear is irrelevant when you consider the quality of the amplifiers and speakers that most people will be using to listen to the finished product.
That looks good, thank you very much.
If only they'd ditch the printer port, it is getting pretty hard to buy a printer these days that isn't USB. Might save a little
space on the M/B into the bargain.
Because that would violate their purpose in putting it on the inside of the box.
Their purpose being; to make people agree to a contract without actually agreeing to it.
Over all the broadband market in Australia seems quite healthy to me. There seems to be enough players to avert a monopoly situation and with ISPs like the one I use offering contract free broadband hopefully there will be enough fluidity to keep competition strong.
The monopoly lies in Telstra owning most of the lines and exchanges that the ISPs have to go through. They have in the past gouged the ISPs, who then have to pass on those costs to Joe Public.
I agree the market is quite healthy, but that has only occured in the last couple of months. A number of the previously smaller players have started to pick up customers (like me) who would normally be prepared to stick with dial-up.
The Whirlpool.net.au forumns, generally paint a slightly less picture of the Australian broadband market place.
"There's nothing novel in this," Mr Lake said. "Forty-three countries including the US, Canada and most EU nations have enacted private copying royalty schemes."
...and knowing full well how myopic and sycophantic our current Australian goverment are, it will be implemented here as well.
Why the hell should I pay money to APRA when I burn copies of music that I wrote and produced?
My music is art for art's sake (I give my music away for free) and now I may have to give money to record companies, AND the artists whose music I despise the most... and don't bloody listen too!
Then you offer praise to whomever you worship that the company you work for didn't use finger print authentication. Its a lot easier to replace a stolen device than a stolen finger.
However, these days it has sweet FA to do any kind of religion, except the worship of money.
For the last couple of decades its all been about consumer confidence, movie and music releases,
over-priced pieces of cardboard and the airwaves bombarding us with advertising.
Perhaps "birth of dead-guy on a stick" day should be moved to a different day, where it won't interfere with consumption.

The "meetings industry"?
That is SO Monty Python-esque its funny.
"We're having a meeting"
"No we're not"
"Yes we are"
"No we're not"
"In an industry scrutinized by the government as a drug infested haven that pollutes our communities and destroys the ability to lead a productive life[...]
If things weren't so twisted; that would be an apt description of the Defence industry.

So Massive Attack feel its OK for them to "sample" other people.
BUT we can't "sample" them.
Hypocrites!
...and don't give me that "Its the record company doing it" bullshit.

I think it was some kind of off-topic cotton-fetish post.
The women, of course.

Finally, what I've always wanted... A Six Pack that won't make me more attractive to women.

Nice troll, cocksucker.
I am not an American.
Click on the link in my original post.
but BSA == "Birmingham Small Arms".
No shit, Sherlock.
Which you would know if you'd clicked on my link.
Yeah, I breathed a sigh of relief when I realised that it wasn't a biker gang. Kicking in doors, looking for owners of Japanese motorbikes.

Ever needed a better reason to avoid throwing away old hardware? Just recycle it and improve both social justice and the enviromental impact.
Social justice?
Yeah, recycle old hardware and you'll be fighting the good fight beside Ghandi and Martin Luther King.

Dude! I hate to tell you this, but those are MEN.
Nicely made point.

Kit yourself out like this and buy some sewing needles.

Yes, but similar solutions, can be used all over the world...
Not just in the USA.
For Pete's sake, WTF does the Soviet Union have to do with Amnesty International.
Now we know where Clippy dissapeared to, he's gone cellular:
"I see you are trying to call your Mother, would you like me to help you?"
I have never understood why all CS majors want to end up with programming jobs.
...because, at least some of us have to grow up and get REAL jobs.
