Which is one more reason to make sure that once you buy your music, Make sure you own it. Use Itunes to burn it to CD then encode it again in mp3. Yeah it's an extra 15 minutes but that way some policy wonk doen't steal, yes steal, your paid for music.
It has been done before.It's called slashdot, newsforge, ect.... all the features of a news group but much better ranking and journaling and less freedom of topics.
I just visited a flight expo in new york and a lot of the unused overhead screens from different companies showed a red hat desktop. Mayby I shouldn't of been but I was suprised.
"Secondly: The idea of keeping several Apollo type rockets kicking around is even more engineeringly hairier then the first idea."
The point is these days they could be remote controlled on launch. They only really have to be engineered to work on re-entry. Also the technology is 30 years old it should be a lot safer.
"Here's my idea. They should mandate from this point forward that all flying shuttles must be fitted with the external docking collar and the canada arm. Then what they should do is take a well understood satalite design, take out all the communications cruft and fit some big ass fuel tanks on the thing. Then put the satelite in an orbit that a shuttle could intersect with a minimum amount of fuel. Part of the package with this satelite would be all the tools/hoses necissary to allow it to be tied into the shuttles manuvering jets that would allow it to boost its orbit to the ISS. "
Thats the idea but the whole point is even if they are attached to the space station keep enough fuel on board so that they can handle any future unforseen contingency. Also the whole reason the canda arm wasn't on the shuttle was to save weight (really worked to, the unit went from tons to pounds) how much would a ball weigh?
Isn't interesting that both shuttle losses were due to simpler external features. One was bought down by its booster rockets the other by its fuel tank. I wonder if there is any culture were the orbiter is considered so complicated that they engineer every possible contingency like writing 3 lines of code a day while excusing 308 foam hits from the simpler fuel tank. Also does anybody else see a connection between iterative programming and NASA engineering. It seems to me that the general culture is let's consider every possible outcome and if anything else happens keep a funeral fund handy. Two examples, how much would it cost to keep a little ball with a few booster rockets and a camera on every shuttle mission for shuttle inspections, also I've heard that even if they knew about the damage sending another shuttle up would of just risked 4 more lives before they knew what caused the first ones damage. How about keeping a few simple space capsules in orbit with enough fuel to reach any orbit used by astronauts? If this is impractical how about keeping 3 unmanned Apollo type rockets always on standby that can serve as life boats to any future missions in any orbit. It seems to me that rather than only always pre-engineering contingencies the first rule should be have something in place to get every piece of reasonable data. The second should be USE those tools if ANYBODY has any doubts. Three always have a independent way of getting everybody back that doesn't put more lives at risk. Does anybody think that any astronaut has a prayer if a meteorite hits the shuttle bay with out these rules?
When I visited I got a message "Slashdot visitors please use this link "Satellite P25"" Slashdot is so popular that companys are making cache pages just for it. COOL!
" Actually Othello is very much a solved problem" actually I'm currently studying that issue and I might dissagree yes "othello" is "solved" but try changing the board size and see who wins, the computer or a human. I feel that a game that is "solved" is not trully mastered. Knowledge is applying those techniques to any situation with in the same rule framework.
Ditto. If I use this service I would just have to burn it to a cd and re-rip it as a mp3. Don't tell me about how you could do everything the same with the new format because my only impediment from going back to buying music is I don't want my leagaly purchased music to be dependent on any technology for it to be used. Does anyone really think any restricted format will be usable in 10 to 15 years? It's hard enough keeping up with media changes 5 1/2 to 3/14 to zip to cdr to dvdr to put up with format hell. How about having to buy new players. I'll start buying again when I could choose to have my music in either mp3 or ogg format. I would really start purchasing when the price gets down to $.99 for new songs ( 2 years) $.50 for old ones. A year ago I thought that was I pipe dream but now mayby so?
" just love reading all the posts that say "They should be downloaded for 4 cents a song!". I mean it isn't your fucking call, it's not your product. It's like saying Ford should charge 30 dollars for a F150. Bah. "
1) Can you try a F150 before you buy it?
2) Can you return a F150 if it does not live up to your expectations(Several States have lemon laws).
3)Does Ford charge multiple times for the same product (record, tape, cd, download)?
4)what analogy could even be found for charging $12 for a vhs tape and $18 for the soundtrack?
I'm not taking a position one way or another but it's not the same at all.
Mayby the reason there's nothing to post is because people have stopped submitting stories. What's the use, they are always rejected anyway? 90% of posted stories are from the editorial staff. It's their right for creating such a amazing site but don't be suprised if people stop submitting/
How about fuel cells? Think that it would be effective by then? Then again do you really want to send soldiers into combat with hydrogen strapped to their backs.
One thing I can assure you this book doesn't teach is how to handle to many connections (Slashdoted). Try clicking on the sample website to see for your self.
Interesting but actually that might be one of the ways to make the worst possible encryption because if the user uses the system in a non-noise environment or changes the sound card the data would become non-random with out the user knowing it. The prime rule of computer science is that the science must be deterministic!
A bad movie won't even have a great opening week in the internet age. I was very excited about Nemesis until I read the first day's reviews on/. then I ended up seeing it two weeks later. I saw first contact several times, where as one Nemesis was enough for me.
I must reiterate my lack of knowledge on the subject but I vaguely remember hearing that if an animal is not considered a animal until it is naturally born so a still born cow would be un-kosher where as a caesarian pig would be kosher if not for other problems. If you were still interested I could find out the exact answer.

Doesn't mean there is a agenda but there could be.
AHHHHH Am I the only one who saw the Matrix??? It's happening just like the prophecy said!!!! :)

Great idea, fat chance of ever seeing it.
you'll know that robots have come of age when self nominations become banned.

Sienfeld was a genius. He knew how to quit at the top.
