99 cents times 10 songs is TWICE what a music CD should cost. 99 cents is TEN TIMES what should cost to download a free and clear 192 kbps MP3 or 128 kps Ogg Vorbis file of a song.
offal need to be recalled at once. Or voted out of office as soon as possible. In a perfect world, they would be sentence to at least a year in solitary confinment, force to write essays on the U.S. Constitution and especially, the Bill of Right every day of that sentence, banned from every holding public office or even voted for the rest of their live!
I say that the WB's show, "Birds of Prey" is lame, that's who. I imagine those guys at Boeing were thinking of Klingons, not a stupid soap opera of a lame-o WB show.
These people are best freedom fighters we have in American today! I give all I can to them whenever I can. Like Kurt Vonegutt said, this is not charity, it is insurance!
Because the modern megaplex has too many rooms for individual attention. Go to the first showing of a movie sometime, on a slow day. You will be surprise how often the projector is set wrong. Then you will be angered at how long it will take for them to notice this. It will only be AFTER one of the patrons complain. Recently, this happened and after they fixed the focus, I had to complain a second time because the registration was not fixed!
They don't want people to have to do anything. They want machines.
Thank you, OSDN and Slashdot for this small little rememberance.
Thank you, for the heroes and tragic victims of the four flights and on the ground at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. And most of all, for the brave First Responders who gave up everything to save as many as they could.
We will never forget. NEVER!
I drove 160 miles to see Fantasia 2000 on IMAX. Was I EVER disappointed! It reeked and I am not just talking about the Micky Mouse part.
After that I had no interest in seeing it on regular 35mm format, but I do recall it was released. It didn't last long.
This press release from July 29, 1997 documents the discovery of some Weird Worms that LIVE in mounds of methane ice on the floor of the Gulf of Mexico, about 150 miles south of New Orleans.

So very, very weird.
...these 80gig platter drive to be available with separate read and write heads on different arms - and separate ones for each platter. Then sell them in a box of three of 160gig drives, two platters each, with a PCI controller that will automatic handle the RAID 0+1 configuration. That is 160 gig, with hardware redundency with a spare drive to have for WHEN (not if) one fails. The striping and extra heads will make the data FLY - and you don't need more spindle speed.
...as I expected India or China to be the first societies to outpace Americans online (so to speak). Now, can someone tell me that what languages are most popular? I'm sure that English is shrinking as a precentage of the whole but what will surpass it first?
With a dialup modem, you get a mono channel at 20Kps - i.e. it tops out at 10K. Better than AM, but as good as mono FM, even.
Now, I have a SOLID 53K connection. Why, oh, why, can they not have a compression that can deliver SOLID 20-20Khz stereo?
They just don't get it.
So, now I uninstall.
...need to lose the title "hacker" or "geek" for life. You will be joining a company were the VP in charge of their number one product (Windows) admitted to God and everybody that they suck. His excuse is "We all suck". I take great offense that, we do NOT all suck and I guarantee that you will never, never, NEVER find me touching a button for this organization if I live to 10 billion years!
...some of the profits of that machine needs to go to paying an income to an unemployed person. Then someday, the majority of people will be free of the slavery of work, supported by the robots!
Bring on the unemployment! Free humanity!
I just woke up after working until 2:30 a.m. rebuilding some critical application servers. You know how my company celebrates System Admin Day? By laying my ass off! Wednesday is my last day. So be it. In these, final days, I will do the best job I can, document what I can to make it easier for the next guys and make DAMN sure that they miss me! To paraphase, Oscar Wilde, "Working well is the best revenge!"
But, AARRRRRRRGGGGGGG!
Well, it is marketing time.
Why would anyone want to make your game console a web server? With all of that graphic processing power for a single display, why would you want to server web pages? Why? Whhy? God, oh, gawd WHY!!!
okay, please, please, please tell me these people are just trolls. No one on Gawd's Green Earth is REALLY that stupid!!
And anyway, the WTC was the TWIN Towers, not the Two Towers like the book published in 19-freaking-52, for Took's sake.

The difference my friend is choice. This process only works with your specific opt-in-only co-operation. And you get to choose what books you expose in the process. The Thought Police methods work without you even knowing you are being watched.

Thanks you, ALCU. I will send more when I can.

This is no good reason. What a waste of time!

"But the frame-by-frame conversion process takes at least five weeks" Ye GAWDS! And I thought Divx conversions were slow.
