If the poster of the article has not got a DVD player would you expect him/her to be buying and DVD relatede software at all! Also the SACDs I have are great I got 2 that came with my Sony and the time I listened to them they were good. Not sure where they are now though I think they went to that CD pile in the sky.
Lets please try to keep things in perspective here. Take note that in a lot of places the creator or a work has the right to copyright that work and defend that copyright unless they choose otherwise, whether online or not. Pirating material is not right and if people want to protect P2P netorks from leagal action, don't use them for the propogation of copyright materials which you are not personally allowed to distribute.
Even these are starting to change now. Some of the signage for road works is in meters now a days, some not (in yards) and I've no idea how they decided, its not region dependent or anything. Speeds are always in mph though or else I think things would get very confusing.
On a personal note does anyone know what happened to the bhp (break horse power) and mpg (miles per gallon) figures in car promotional liturature I don't have any point of reference for the new l/km and PS (i think) figures and units?
My favorite method is to place the CD against a hot radiator with a towel to t-shirt or something inbetween for 5 min which usually works. If not then I heat it up for a bit longer and then carefully polish it with a glasses cleaning cloth. This has always worked for me but then I've not tried it with anything that is really badly scrached.
No not really. This is best demostated by comparing plasma to LCD. LCD is a much more expensive tech than plasma which is why if you go to buy a 42" or 50" screen one will almost always buy plasma as it is very much cheaper that LCD.
Now people will tell you that LCD screens have a longer life span than plasma and at the time of writing that they would be right, this is why the plasma picture moves arround and even then 5 years normal viewing its normal life. LCD as tech lives much longer but is much more expensive and expecialy beyond the 15" or 17", which most of the slashdot readers will have experince of, is still out of reach of most people active in the economy.
I'm not saying that plasma is cheap, just that plasma flat panels are not as good as LCD ones and because of the expense, i.e. plasma id typically 1/3 price of LCD for a 42" or 50" display.
go out and buy the full album, where you make the (sometimes incorrect) assumption that you would like most of the other tracks.
The thing is there is a group of people out there who can't do this due to moneitery constraints. Like me the music junky student who spends 40 to 60 quid on music a month, mainly on recent vinyl which I can afford. I would really like a copy on Dier Strights "Money for Nothing" but I can't justify buying a album because its too much cash. But for a pound I'ld get it, so therefore the music company and I hope the artiste makes more cash than they would otherwise.
And no, I'm not going to download stuff. I am morally oposed, it is wrong, i.e. stealing, and if these guys in collage on file share want to make a living theyl'd better hope that there works don't go on file share as I'm sure they would then turn the other cheek.
I think that postal voting has made some good advances in convinince. Only 2 days ago I voted in the Newcaslte local election by post, having ticked the vote by post box on my voter regestration form some time ago. I think that this system is as secure as the previous system which only required you to produce your voter card at the polling station, which was mailed anyway. Perhaps my view is slured as I live in a city center 2 min walk from a post box, and participate in online rentals which mean I always have at least 1 item to post each week. Also it removes a lot of worry over being on holiday etc on voting day and the accossiated hastle with proxy voting etc.
Althought I am a big fan of the internet, I don't want to vote on it. I like paper for certain things, it just feels more reliable to me, like a crredit card statment, thats always real!! Trials, however, are a good thing and I am only one man with one opinion but sirously, the internet is not such a seriuos medium to most people and the post is, simple as that at the moment as far as I am concerned
I know this may be slightly off topic but there is a company in the UK which runs a similar service to NetFlix, called dvdsontap.com I;ve used them for about 6 moths and they have been very good, including not giving me any hastle when a dvd they said the had send did not turn up.
Alos as far as I am aware the dvd queues are the same for all users, so you may wait a bit for new relases but most other stuff comes as soon as it gets to the head of your rental queue.
Pictures on computers can not possibly be to scale as we have different screen sizes and resolution, for instance, if you are looking at it on a project then it probably is you
I not so sure the 800 is new, I've had one for 4 months now, is this just an updated range with the 900 Mhx model new and the 800 Mhz model the only other one available?
AFAIK the code for Netbeans origonally come from Sum from their IDE. Netbeans is now under some Sun open source lisence and is developed by the netbeans community. It is, however, extended by a number of commercial outfits with more functionality, typically J2EE stuff etc. Sun is one of thouse outfits which extends the IDE to give us Forte.
.Incidentally Forte community edition is almost exactly the same at netbeans but tends to run a few months behind. There is a road map somewhere with both netbeans and forte on it but I can't find it at the minite, it was somewhere on the netbeans site though.
I have nothing to say on this disscussion topic, but seeing as there are so many mod points knoking about at the moment I thought that I might as well get a post and and see if I can karma whore!!
This would certainly seen to make sence considering the cold spells which were experience around 1900s. With in mind the film footage of cars driving on the Thames (main river through London, England) round people ice skating when in winter it would completely freez over.
I'm not completely sure though that the amount of greenhouse gases some of the nation of the world(including mine) have given out can be counted as blameless.

Who needs hard disk capacity if you can stream a movie in realtime?
Why would anybody want to watch an entire movie in 5 seconds, certainly my ability to absorb information is not as good as that and I regard it to be rather high(Toung in cheek).

True, also how fast can a person absorb data, why is it nessesary to download a 2 hour movie in 5 minites (or seconds I can't remember now). Faster net connections are a good thing to a certain extent, but sometimes the persuit for speed goes beyond practicality. This happened in the super car industry with the Mclaren F1, it was just too fast at aprox 240mph (I think). Is this going to be the case for network speed, are we going to kill super fast networking by providing something which is just redicuoulsly fast? And equally unnessesary.
Some of us are just clumsy though, and live in clumsy households. I have been known to break bits of my flat such as doorframes with my flailing limbs so I'm sure my iBook has a MTBA (Mean Time Between Accidents) of about 24 months, even without butter!
No, Wensleydale is an English product and can only be manufactured in Wensleydale, Yorkshire. This is due to some sort of advertising law or something and aplies to most cheeses in the UK (which use place names) except for Chedder and Red Leiecter I think?.
Similar stuff like this has been done before and is already in the market place. For instance the key fob on new BMW never needs the battery changing as it is recharged by induction when it is in the ignition. I don't know if this would affect a patent on this device though
For example, why is Flash so bad for the web? Simple: say you have a blind user. How on earth are they supposed to navigate a Flash site when there are no ALT attributes to guide them and their screen readers can't "read" a.swf file.
Spot on as far as I am concerned. At the moment there is far to much emphasis on looks rather than useability, which is more important? Useability. By far, after all your olds looked after you why shoulded we look after them, and everybody elses'!!
These interfaces are much simplier and are a good base for moving forward. While your not likely to use them the concepts are the same AND if you go into a lab you have a reasonable chance to use one of the older interfaces.
Absoululty true, I have been taught this way the poster is and it is paying off. Yestersay I has a written and verbaly assesed test on MIPS ISA and it went OK (no previous experience). This is only because I had tuition in basic computing and ISA consturcts. I would say no matter how complicated the system, you still have to deal with the hardware and the best way to get starteded in to start simple. After all these are the device which everbody learned on and therefor the tecnhology which all other divces(sic) are based opon,
My adviece(sic) is stick with what you got and see how it goes. After all there is nothing more valuable than favorable(sic) contacts to get your name in and then impress in the interview.

I just downloaded Mosain for Windows v1.0 and guess what, it doesn't render the Mosain homepage properly. And yes I do now that this is to do with fairly extensive changes (in term of perventage use of features which wern't there before) to the HTML spec over the past years.

I wanted to get one of thouse but then I found out that I wouldn't be able to watch Bid Up TV when I board so I decided against it.
admittedly road signs are still in miles / mph

Does this happen with LCD monitors as well?
