Lots of Indians have done great things in IT, and so have lots of americans, russians, french, chinese, irish so on so forth. So what was the point the grand-parent trying to make ?
I am an indian too, but this kind of stupid superiority complex, that we indians rule the IT is very reprehensible.
An interesting point to consider is that,
Currently Apple doesn't allow download outside US, so if he is infact legally allowed to sale his bought music, then
Can he sell it outside US, at a higher price and make profit ?
And also considering the past record of Archos customer service, I am not so sure If i want to buy one.
Besides, at 600$ it better be built solidly, i.e. magnessium alloy body or something , and sturdy buttons., not the cheap plastic ones that most archos players have.
I say almost all the modern musicians are promoted based on how they look.
The main target audience of today's music companies and record labels are people who belive that american idol and american junior are the ultimate authoritative agencies for musical talent search.
when was the last time you saw an MTV video where the lead singer was....what's the word.. UGLY ?
M TV has done more damage to music than you can imagine.
Take multiple backups and atleast have one backup on high quality CD-Rss not the 25c a piece ones.
Keep upgrading your Harddisk from time to time and backup data from old HD to new one.
You mean you actually DROVE to the movie theatre.....BOUGHT a ticket for 8$.......took your cell phone/pda along........DID NOT walk out in the first five minutes......
And then came to the conclusion that the movie sucked ? and the text messaged your friend/s who was/were so eger to find out whether the movie was any good...
NO wonder you are posting anonymously. I wouldn't watch that movie even if I am paid to watch it, and here you are text messaging your so concerned friends about whether the movie sucked or not.
Obligatory Simpsons quote.
old people don't need companionship. They need to be isolated and studied so it can be determined what nutrients they have that might be extracted for our personal use.
So then , why are they suing IBM, if a company's IP is leaked by one of its own employees, or an ex-employee of the ormer company wich owned the IP, then shouldn't it sue caldera or the employee who leaked the code in to the kernel ?
what's IBM got to do with this ?
Well, a SLR zoom lens having range from wide-angle to telephoto won't be any good, at either of the ends.
There is no point in buying any zoom lens with a zoom ratio > 3 or max 4. Forget the 20-200 mm lenses, you won't get sharp pictures at either ends, also there would be lot of other optical faults like chromatic abbrations, barrel distortion , etc etc.
Infact the hardcore pros, don't even recommend zoom lenses, most will tell you to use multiple single focal length prime lenses, for best performance.
Having said that the sony lens does look very promissing, because the apperture can open as high as 2.8 even at 200 mm.
A canon 70-200 L series lens with constant aperture of 2.8 costs 1600$.
I am really wondering about this sony lens. And I really really want to see, performace results of this lens.
that gotta teach a lesson to those lousy worm writters. Changing domain name, who whold have thunk , microsoft would come up with such an ingeneous solution.
Take that you microsoft hackers, bet you are scratching your head now.

The Audio Tracks are encrypted, and only normal CD players would be able to play them.
I don't know how exactly are they encrypted, but if they are indeed, then to linux the whole CD will look like a Data CD. NO ?

Yes I know, that he won't sell outside US, but that's his decission, not a mandate, what if I want to sell outside US ?
