A new coffee shop in Glendale, CA is offering free wireless. Uratu is around the block from a Starbuck's that offers Tmobile service. And if you're still not sure where to go, Uratu's coffee is much better.
I just found out about this last week, and I didn't have my laptop with me at the time, but I did have a cup of coffee. The barrista wasn't knowledgable, as can be expected, but at least she knew they offered free wireless and what it was. Contrast this with Border's, where I've had to educate several staff members that they have wireless and what it is.
At any rate, I don't expect a barrista to know much about the technical details of wifi. They're not all former web designers.
I'm really getting OT, but did you know Mike B. went to work for Apple after the success of CCC? Maybe he's the one that put the functionality into Disk Utility.
Hey, Ben just gave you a kindly review! Believe me, this guy knows his stuff, especially in areas of compression. I took a class from him on video compression at the American Film Institute a few years ago, when I think he was at Terran Interactive. He gave us some hands on training in Media Cleaner (now just Cleaner), but really gave us a lot of the background theory. A lot of it didn't click until much later ("Oh, yeah, that's what that Ben guy was talking about!").
Uh, yeah they do, in a sense. I monitor what I'm working on by sending the DV signal to my DV deck, which converts it to S-video, which goes to the NTSC monitor. I also play DV tapes out to a larger NTSC monitor when screening dailies for a director or whomever.
On second thought, you are correct in a strict technical sense. The S-Video signal isn't DV.
Anyway, I loved the website. You did a very good job explaining the diff between RGB and component. A side note: Most professional work is done on component, not RGB. I'm not sure about HD. I'm not really up on that.
Also, a quick video joke: If anyone ever asks you what NTSC stands for, tell them "Never The Same Color". =)
The very first IBM typewriter was electric. As far as I know, IBM has never sold a non-electric typewriter. I even checked at typewritercollector.com and found no mention of a manual IBM.
Zinn: And observe the map device here -- how the map is itself completely Gondor-centric. Rohan and Gondor are treated as though they are the literal center of Middle Earth. Obviously this is because they have men living there. What of places such as Anfalas and Forlindon or Near Harad? One never really hears anything about places like that. And this so-called map casually reveals other places -- the Lost Realm, the Northern Waste (lost to whom? wasted how? I ask) -- but tells us nothing about them. It is as though the people who live in these places are despicable, and unworthy of mention. Who is producing this tale? What is their agenda? What are their interests and how are those interests being served by this portrayal? Questions we need to ask repeatedly.
A bit more:
Zinn: And notice how Strider characterizes the Black Riders. "Neither living nor dead." Why, that's a really useful enemy to have.
Chomsky: Yes. In this way you can never verify their existence, and yet they're horribly terrifying. We should not overlook the fact that Middle Earth is in a cold war at this moment, locked in perpetual conflict. Strider's rhetoric serves to keep fear alive.
In all seriousness, there seems to be some misconception that iTunes can't play ogg files. Well, I'm not sure about on the the Mac or the PC, but there is a plugin for Amiga that. . ..no, wait. Damn!
It's not impossible, but there is little incentive for Apple to put the rather gargantuan effort required into porting iTunes Linux.
I think you are accurate as far as the current state of affairs. Howevah, should Linux capture enough desktops, you can bet that Apple will want to sell the users of those desktops iPods. So it's very possible, given the opportunities for linux on the desktop in the next couple of years.
You just go on doing what you're doing and gobbleshoe. I trust you won't hold your breath!
Speaking of breath, I'm not going to waste mine trying to convince you of the possibility that AAC encoded from masters can approach the quality of music files encoded from music CDs with other codecs.
I don't know whether or not WMA sounds like shit. I've never listened to it. While Apple has offered me a compromise DRM that I can live with, I'm not touching any MS DRM with your ten foot pole.
When all is said and done, it seems to me there is at least a niche market for online Ogg sales. Maybe you can convince Rio to open one up, to support sales of it's players.
But what if you never bothered to read what you were publishing? Years later, you discover the other writer incorporated some of your work into the book that you didn't want in there! Time to call David Boies! =)
More likely that the judge gave permission for the code to be presented in a closed court, but can later be opened.
Thank you. Stowell is most likely hyping and mischaracterizing the much earlier agreement between the court, IBM, and SCO for a protective order. Under such an order, a party may claim confidentiality, but that claim may be challenged by the other party. At that point, it is up to the claiming party to prove the validity of their claims.
This is nothing more than Stowell performing for Wall St., making it look as if SCO has won some sort of new legal victory. Unfortunately, there are many lazy journalistists on the tech beat that get their paychecks from rewriting press releases. They wouldn't know investigative journalism if it bit them on the ass.

Yeah, you're probably right. I knew it was just a gui for cl stuff.

There's more at the IBM Archives. Thanks for the troll. I learned something!

You're forgetting about bandwith. Storage is one thing, but transfer is another.
That sucks. Next time, if you don't already do this, try booting from the iPod before wiping the Tibook. Also, have you tried Carbon Copy Cloner?

I'm going to sign up to be an organ donor first thing tomorrow.
That's my favorite quote from the open letter: you might want to be less vocal.
And just to quibble, I think Bob is incorrect where he writes, " It is the crook who should be sent to jail, not the tool. . . "
Darl has proven many times over that he is a tool that should be sent to jail.

You're killing me! =)
I'm going to slap a VTEC sticker on my laptop, and maybe add an aftermarket spoiler.
On a side note, the HD on my server fried the same week I've been taking the bus. Coincidence?
Unless they traveled back in time in their time machines.
Me, I'd prefer doing a genetic injection on her.
I thought DMA, in this instance, meant Dominant Market Aquisition.

Maybe you should try running RTFAnix.
Sounds like you need to boot the cat. =)
This friend of yours. . .he hasn't, by chance, spent the last twenty years trying to copy a 17.6 MB file, has he?
