Except that he doesn't own a PC. If he did that with someone else's PC then it's that person's problem, not his. As an analogy, if I let a friend borrow my car and he forgets to put on the parking brake and it rolls into somebody's front window, I am responsible since it was my car. (If you don't believe this, then realize that the insurance YOU pay for is what covers accidents when you let someone driver YOUR car -- in other words, the car is your responsibility.)
Why is that such a mystery? Tapes sound like shit and are a pain in the ass == lower demand == people will not pay as much for a tape as they will for a CD. It's simple. The price doesn't have anything to do with the cost, it's all about what someone will pay.
But for $50 on eBay I'm sure you could get something with much better specs than 80x80 with 16 levels of gray. Even those ancient Casio "portable TV" sets had much better specs than that. Heck, any digital camera with minimalistic "motion video" capture probably is higher quality than this. For about $50 to $100 more you could get an old laptop with a 10 or 12" 1024x768 display with true color, and you'd be able to actually USE that for stuff other than watching little clips.
I mean really, it sure would be cool for the first 20 minutes or so but what ARE you going to use 80x80 w/16 shades of gray for anyway? That's worse resolution than my 11 year old TI graphing calculator. And this device has no processing power and no input devices, what good is it?
Sure, it will read ntfs just fine. The key word is READ. Should you want to modify anything, however, you will quickly find that the Linux kernel support for mounting ntfs r/w is labeled with large bells and whistles that warn "Do not use this for real data!" I.e., it's still quite experimental.

It sounds more like you just found a lazy dealer that didn't want to bother with you. GM, Ford, etc. all allow you to make custom orders, it's a matter of finding a dealer that will put it through for you. They're much happier to deal with the stock option packages because it's much easier for them and they make more money. But if you can convince them, you can order any option package you want.
Well I admit I'm not good at math, but it certainly has nothing to do with homework, I was given math homework where I did the same stupid algebra problem over and over again for about 5 pages, for maybe weeks or a month, guess what, now I'm an adult and I dont remember any of that shit because it was all a bunch of useless paperwork to me.
Hold it. First you're railing against keeping track of attendance because it shouldn't matter if you show up or not, just so long as you can do the work. Now you're going on about how meaningless homework was for you, that it was "a bunch of meaningless paperwork."
You can't have it both ways. Obviously in your case the self-directed notion of learning where you just do the work and turn it in, having taught yourself the concepts, was not working at all. And yet in the same discussion you rail against teachers for daring to hold you responsible for attending class, when obviously in your case there was a need for this encouragement.
I recognise that a lot of the points you bring up are faults in the education system, but it's concentrated naivete to believe that you can adapt a large institution to the whims and desires of every single student. The "bend over backwards for Bobby" plan sounds great on paper, but until you can manage some significant changes in the way the educational system is funded and managed, it's just never going to happen. I'm sure that many teachers and educators would love to be flexible enough to adapt to the needs of every last student, but the fact is that is nearly impossible, logistically. And frankly, most students' issues with their education stem from authority issues not pedagogy. No matter how compassionate you are, at the end of the day a lot of young adolescents just can't deal with authority in any shape or form, and they react to that in all sorts of self-destructive ways. Am I saying that some school institutions aren't WAY over the line? No. But fundamentally the whole notion of education has to fundamentally involve authority and subordination, even if its edges are smoothed over. My point is that kids of this age are always going to hate their schools, and while there is always room for improvement you will never be able to create an atmosphere of complete satisfaction and fulfillment.

Dear submitters, do you think we could possibly get story writeups without the bad 12-yearold humor? You know, something befitting a site visited by tens of thousands every day, and not the "hey bevis, huh, his tongue has cancer" drivel? Mmm'kay, thanks. (and editors, you know you can actually... EDIT those submissions, too.)
Don't be so smug, I bet less than 1 in 100 people knows what the hell a "sextillion" is. But most of them know what a million is, or least have some vague idea.
Personally, I think "60 sextillion" is the worst possible way to express this number. It is neither as short as "7e22" nor is it intuitive. "7e22" is so much easier and quicker, and it expresses the order of magnitude without having to memorize some arcane section of the dictionary under "really big fucking numbers."

The people that tend to do packaging are not likely to be influenced by you pestering their Inboxes, or filling out forms, or posting to forums, etc. Instead, ensure that your program meets the following requirements, and you should have no problems.
- It should fulfill a genuine need. If you're aiming for wide distribution you can't expect to achieve it with a something that's only relevent to a few people or in a few circumstances. You should also have some sort of document that shows how someone would save time or accomplish new things with this tool.
- It should be small yet robust, minimalistic yet powerful. I don't think anyone would consider adding a tool to a default install that is either too large for the features it offers, or two pedestrian in the type of features that it offers.
- It should be packaged well. Ideally it should compile and install in the proper locations out-of-the-box on a variety of systems. Make sure that it uses well-known methods, such as autotools (i.e. "./configure --prefix=/usr/local") or some other well-know "make; make install" type of setup.
- It should be well documented. At the very least you should have full manpages that your install script puts in the right place. Also consider man2html output on a web site, an possibly texinfo for the purists. You can't expect to get away with "just run --help and figure it out" or "look in the README."
- It should be licensed sanely, and should have reasonable dependencies. No one like a bizarro license, and no one likes a tool that takes sixteen different libraries of particular versions to compile.
- It looks like you're trying to get these tools standardized so that they could be relied upon for scripting... this will always be very hard to accomplish, but you might look into getting them merged with some popular packages, i.e. 'fileutils'. If there's a particular program that they are well-suited to being used with (like awk or something) then see about getting them added, perhaps in a "contrib" dir, to a project like that.
Frankly, though, your post was a little worrysome... in the sense that it almost seems like you're trying to get everyone to use these tools because they're there, not for some intrinsic reason. That just won't work, they have to do something really well or make it much easier to do some other task, etc.... You can get the word out and announce to various interested parties, but you will never be able to force anyone to do anything. In other words, view the situation as one of wanting to make the best programs you can, and if they receive universal support that's icing on the cake.
Magnetic disk drives have been at the heart of computer systems since the early 1960s. They brought not only a significant advantage in processing performance, but also a new level of complexity for programmers. The three-dimensional geometry of a disk drive replaced the simple, linear, address spacetape-based programming model.
Whatever happened to cylinders and tracks?
Traditionally, the programmer's working model of disk storage has consisted of a set of uniform cylinders, each with a set of uniform tracks, which in turn hold a fixed number of 512-byte sectors, each with a unique address. The cylinder is made up of concentric circles (or tracks) on each disk platter in a multiplatter drive. Each track is divided up like pie slices into sectors. Because any location in this three-dimensional storage space could be uniquely identified by the cylinder number, head (surface) number, and sector number, this formed the basis for the original programming model for disk drives: cylinder-head-sector access.
This raises the question: If that is how data is stored on a drive, why don't we still use that as the programming model? The answer is not an easy one but has its roots in the fact that this geometric model endured until the advent of the intelligent inter-faces, SCSI and ATA. [The IBM mainframe world used a slightly different model, allowing tracks to be written with records (blocks) of user-defined length. An individual track could have sectors of different sizes. As one who programmed count key data (CKD) storage, I can attest that it offers the application wonderful flexibility, but the drive design challenges have relegated it to history. Also, a purist might point out that standards etiquette calls for SCSI to use blocks and ATA to use sectors, but I will use these terms interchangeably.]
Disk-interface protocols implement the programming model for disk drives. The earlier drive interfaces did little more than expose signals to let the host directly manipulate the drive mechanism and initiate a transfer of data at a target location. This put the task of dealing with all the low-level idiosyncrasies peculiar to drives on the programmer charged with developing the firmware or software support.
The introduction of ATA and SCSI fundamentally changed this. Table 1 describes the migration of intelligence from host to drive in the evolution of the more important interfaces. With these intelligent interface protocols, the task of programming the use of disk drives became much easier. Disk-drive designers also gained a freedom of action needed to design higher-capacity and higher-performance drives. I will look at just how drive designers used this freedom of action in their designs, but it is important first to understand the fundamental goal behind drive design: increasing areal density.
DAVE ANDERSON, director of strategic planning for Seagate Technology, has more than 20 years of experience in the computer field. His responsibilities include overall strategy for all disk interfaces. He has been involved in the architecture and planning of Fibre Channel since it was first proposed as a disk interface.

By the way, I've found the Allmusic Guide to be really good for this. Particularly, you can explore genres and styles (and representative artists / important albums), explore artists entire cataloges, find out who has worked with whom, and lots of just general reading about everything music related. It's pretty much like the IMDB of music, and a great deal of the albums and artists have actual thoughful reviews or mini-bios.
I second that; just about anything by him you find will be good. His brother Nat also put out some albums, which were alright too.
So as not to just <aol>Me too</aol>, I will also suggest the Nuclear Whales, an all-sax ensemble from bass/contrabass(!) all the way up to soprano (and possibly sopronino, I forget.) Good stuff, although not all jazz, but a lot of overlap in styles and tastes. Also Herbie Hancock / Head Hunters. An all time classic.
However, there is more than just front cover and backside art worth keeping: liner notes, sometimes attached to the front art, but not always.
There is sometimes the oddball case that you save because you can't cleanly extract all the artwork. But I have found that the vast majority of my CDs have exactly two pieces to be saved: the font liner notes (that slides out easily) and the art on the backcover which also includes the printing on the spine. After removing those you're left with completely generic clear/black plastic.
Also, I've found the binder-style CD storage systems to be flimsy, and have had fears of hundreds of CDs falling out. How do you deal with these issues?
Avoid the cheap brands for sure. Case Logic binders will cost about $17-$23 at least, but they hold up well. As far as discs falling out, it only happens if you get a cheap brand and the seams around the pockets come apart. I've never had this happen with the Case Logic ones though. As long as you keep it right-side up like a book (and even if you don't it's not a problem if you keep it zipped -- they're quite sturdy when zipped) there's really nowhere the discs can go. They may move a little in the pockets but most all models have some form of soft/cotton-y junk to help keep dirt away from the surface.
Finally, front-cover art, at least, and all extra content ideally, should be available in machine-readable format. But that is a bit of a dream, and scanning gets to be a bitch after a while.
If you get a program like Tag&Rename, it can automatically grab the cover art from www.allmusic.com. It's definitely not super high quality, maybe 300x300 or so, but it's automatable and AMG has a very good collection of front-cover art. Other than that (and creating some kind of lego-mindstorms-powered automated scanning device ) it's a real pain.
It's a good idea, but doesn't work for DVDs, which have different front and back-cover sizes.
I believe they now have the equivalent of the CD books with DVD-sized pockets. I don't quite know what form factor they take though, as the disc size no longer matches the jacket size.
As owner of several hundred CDs (for which I had a custom solid oak and granite cabinet custom-made to hold them and sport the playback equipment back in the day...)
I too have hundreds (maybe 500-600) of CDs. The first step is to realize that jewel cases are crap. Throw them all out. Each and every one. Note that this does not mean disposing of any of the artwork. You take out the liner notes, obviously, as well as the "back side" artwork. To do the latter you sort of just twist the jewel case and it will open up... It's much easier said than done, but after you've done it many hundreds of times you can do it in your sleep.:-)
Anyway, I use those CD binders. I get the advertised 200 capcity ones, which really means 100 with liner notes. If you have a lot of CDRs though, you can fit 200. So I put the CDs and liner notes in those Case Logic things, and the backside art in a large stack in a box, since I seldom need it or use it.
Now you can put those binders on a shelf or whatever, and have easy access to all those hundreds of CDs, without them taking up more than a standard shelf or two, and without the mess (and weight!) of jewel cases. You wouldn't think those fuckers weigh very much, but put 300 empty ones in a box sometime and see how much it weighs. Hint: It's a lot. They're very inefficient in terms of volume and weight.
Now I don't look back. The first thing I do after buying a CD is take all the stuff out of the jewel case and toss it. THey are evil if you have lots of CDs. The faster you realize this, the sooner you'll have less headaches managing a lot of CDs.
Dude, you must use the autologin cookie, because I cannot imagine remembering that login ID for more than a week. Unless it's like your SSN * DOB - 1 or something.:-)
