But maybe the artist should get to decide whether they want to give you that "free advertising", rather than you deciding unilaterally that the artist is better off this way.
Also, sometimes the artist is dead (but with a surviving family), or from another country, or not touring in your town right now. But maybe they'd still like to see you pay something for being entertained. Just like the poor little Limewire programmers want to get paid.
Or perhaps I'll unilaterally decide that you're better off riding a bike. So I'll burn your car. You'll be healthier and save money in hospital bills. You're welcome.
They should ship the computer with a red "Turbo Button" on the front (remember those?)
Hit the button to ramp back to a 1MHz "compatability mode". Watch in awe as the machine paints on your antialiased text, one pixel at a time. Then hit the button again to zoom into "Turbo Mode" at 4.7GHz, grateful for progress, capitalism, and Intel engineers...

Not that I don't support the development of open, Free alternatives, but when you want to use two of the most common and powerful commercial programs out there, tapping those commands into the Terminal does come in handy..
Here in New York, they are reading the names of the lost. The radio has been broadcasting the reading live for the past two hours; they are in the P's now... it is a solemn and beautiful memorial, the only true memorial, in a sense.
In the morning, Governor Pataki read the Gettysburg address. While he is not the most eloquent speaker, the words of that address are so powerful that they speak very directly to us, on this day, in this place. Try reading it slowly, out loud (or whispered) to yourself:
Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation: conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war.
We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate. ..we cannot consecrate. . . we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us: that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
I know it can be a foolish position to maintain on this site, but I strongly support the emergence of (open, cross-platform, fair) DRM technology.
As someone who makes his living from what I write, I know that I wouldn't release my work to widespread, instantaneous copying unless I knew I could secure some of my own rights as to how that copying takes place. Many other individuals (as well as big, greedy corporations) feel the same. The fundamental idea is that before I hand you the keys to my car, I want to know whether you can run out back and give my car away to a dozen of your buddies - or strangers.
So as long as DRM is reasonable about fair use, stops the majority of people from doing the wrong thing (and can more-or-less keep up with the bleeding-edge crackers), I look forward to it. This way I can get the downloadable movies, music, and text that I want, while actually supporting the person who made it all for my pleasure.
But man, I wish that software was available for Mac or Linux.
I don't think the stock PHP is compiled with sendmail support built-in.
Instead, install Marc Liyange's one-click package for a more full-featured PHP module. He always stays on top of the game, updating with OS X and Apache updates. Most people doing real PHP work on OS X either compile it themselves or install Marc's package.

Does that Windows tray menu change the actual language used by the system, or just the keyboard map / text entry system?
Incidentally, here in Mac OS X-land, you can select any of 14 languages, not just for the keyboard, but for the user interface. All Apple-supplied applications, and many 3rd-party applications, will subsequently launch in your preferred language.
Admittedly, you have to relaunch an application (or log out) before it will use your language. But it's still pretty nifty. And I also confess that you have to open System Preferences and drag your language to the top of a list to enable it. (The keyboard layout is switchable from a menu item, like the Windows item you describe.)
I'm just getting used to typing xf86cfg and/sbin/fsck and all that. But looking at the screenshots, this 'improved Ximian' appears to be just as complicated. How am I supposed to remember to type:
connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' /home/linuxz/linuxtests-www/pnadodb/adodb-mysql.in c.php on line 106
actually the packages in/Library/Receipts contain everything except for the actual payload. That is, they have the Readme, install information, file list, etc., but not the actual files. That's why they're called "Receipts".
For example, the very large (400MB+) developer tools package has a receipt of size 616k.
In order to save the package to install later or on other machines, you have to select Update:Save Update before you click the "Install" button in Software Update.
Yeah, we'd be much safer if automatic weapons and concealed handguns were allowed on flights. They're gonna do something anyway, so why not just make it easier for them??? What is your point here?
Obviously some committed and devious people may be able to circumvent most security measures. But I guarantee that for every one of those, there are six other less clever, less determined people who will commit violence if they can manage it, and won't if they can't.
Do you have webplay built on OS X, or are you serving from a linux box at home? The last time I had checked out that package, it had said it wasn't readily compilable on darwin. Has that changed?
I've moved on to netjuke and a hand-rolled solution, but neither of those does on-the-fly reencoding at lower bitrates, which as you note would be very handy...

so it seems plausible that we're vulnerable, though I'm not sure.
However, this note indicates that 3.3p1 (and presumable now 3.4) compiles fine, including the privilege-separation option, without problems.
While Apple expects to have shipped 5 million computers with Mac OS X (and OpenSSH) by the end of the year, SSH is turned off by default. So this and future problems should affect only those who know what the hell SSH is...
... what the "two towers" are (two different towers in different places, each ruled by evil men). I imagine they did that to try to dampen the association with the "twin towers".
The association is nonetheless unavoidable, but perhaps welcome. Aside from being a rocking good movie, I think LoTR's portrayal of a great evil in the land, and a heroic quest to save the innocents, played a big part in its success.
On the other hand, having the database means zero boot-up time. Without the database, you'd have to scan the entire disk for any new songs, read all the ID3 tags, etc. Check out reviews of the Nomad to see what I mean.
Before you say, "well, my NEXII starts up right away!", compare your ~64megs of CF storage to 10 gigs.
Also, the database structure enables auto-syncing which is pretty cool.
It must be gone. Not surprising, considering they were selling them for $99 while everyone else had it for $199. (Apple was also giving them out free with Powerbook purchases. They must have gotten a ton of them at a great OEM price.) I had put one in my shopping cart last night, but I guess the cart expired. Now they're gone from the site. Darn!

And all the while, the artist who actually created the MUSIC that all of you are taking gets NOTHING.
Does this strike anyone else as wrong?
If you want to use P2P, go ahead, but don't be surprised that the system breaks down if no one is paid by anyone.
