On the mud I used to play in order to fail college there was about 50% male/50% females among the ("confirmed") regulars (i.e junkies). Most of the ones I knew had been introduced to it by guys they knew and gotten hooked on it by the social interaction. Most of the women belonged to those who played _with_ other people, very few were playerkillers who played _against_ other people. 150 or so people might not be statistically relevant or whatever, but my limited personal experience from there is the same as yours.
Gerhardt also made the suggestion of a less restrictive NDA at a media question-and-answer session with SCO CEO Darl McBride and other SCO executives, with whom he will meet on Tuesday to discuss the proposal further.
At that Q&A session, SCO Senior Vice President Chris Sontag said there are millions of lines of offending code involved and that it's highly unlikely the matter could be resolved by removing that code.
So (allegedly) an SCO spokesman has claimed it. Millions even.
Elektra is legally obligated to distribute any and all material Metallica chooses to have distributed in North America. And since, between them, any three members of the band have voting control of the corporation, what they say goes; if the band wants to release an album full of bluegrass, Elektra is obligated to send it to stores
Aha! Finally the answer to the riddle that is St. Angers presence in record stores.
If the company was set up 10 years ago, shouldn't Jason own something of it? Did they just hand his share over to Rob (pretty nice deal for Rob if that's the case)?
There were reports in swedish media that the applications themselves would be banned, but those reports were apparently incorrect. Now they say the applications won't be banned, but that the handling of copies the filesharing apps are built upon will be illegal. (Whatever that means). For example: http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/it/story/0,2789,3208 94,00.html (in swedish).
Undying scared the crap out of me too, after the place when you look in the mirror and some monster dude appears behind you, I couldn't play it after dark anymore. I never did finish it. I suck.
I don't think it really matters. I use ephod to transfer files to and from the iPod and that program dumps every mp3 into one of the 20/Music dirs. I think there's a setting that tells it to do that or to spread them out but I might be wrong. It takes genre/artist/album/song info from the mp3 tags, not the structure.
I guess it just matters in the way it normally matters if you want 2000 files in one dir or 100 in 20 dirs.
At least the LOTR people are upfront with it and tell everyone there will be a special one later. They did this with the first one as well, in case someone doesn't know. They were nice enough not to piss people off by first releasing the normal one and then announce the special one two months later when the fans had already bought the first one. I guess when you have a movie that'll make one "billion" dollars either way, you can afford to be nice (but it still isn't the norm in movieland so props to them for that).
At first glance some things don't make sense. It says the reasons 'music executives' like it is because it makes 'downloading music as simple and nontechnical as buying a book from Amazon.com'. Since when has that been more important to 'music executives' than content control?
And a Mac+iPod only service being "exactly what the music industry has been waiting for" and "the answer" if "people on the Internet are actually interested in buying music, not just stealing it"? Most of those people currently just interested in 'stealing' would probably have to buy one or both of those before they could use the service.
I got a Pod back when they were pretty new, then I got a Flextone II amp. Many months of tweak, tweak, tweak those settings to bring the sound up from good to ok ensued. Eventually I came to the conclusion that I don't need a hundred different settings from 30 amps. I need one good clean, one good crunch + stomp on the tubescreamer for lead, and now I have good, old fashioned Vox AC 30 instead. One great sounding amp makes me happier than 30 ok sounding models.
That may be just me though, tone is such a subjective thing. I'm not an analog snob though and I'm still following developments in modelling. Still have my Pod also, it's better for living room playing than the AC 30 (LOUD), and it is great for home recording (where you can do all sorts of tricks to the tracks to make it sound 'more real', and where the need for loads of different sounds is probably bigger than when playing loud with others)
I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.
Oppenheimer said that after seeing his first little bomb go off. Allegedly. He quoted if from somewhere else, methinks.
In other words, to beat Deep Junior you really have to rely on your chess _skills_ instead of using unsportsmanlike* "techniques" like gloating and trash talking.
*Just the humble opinion of the author of this post, of course.
Rumors say Michael Jackson & Bubbles have been hard at work at creating an artistic chimp for years already. I'm sure they'll soon present their findings to us, now that this has become public knowledge.
Other rumors say the only fruit of their labours so far is one Justin Timberlake! (Which would explain why they haven't come forward to claim success yet)
Geeks have a problem with this kind of thing,
because computers don't lie (or argue;), and when we run into someone who's a liar, we keep tring to have a reasonable conversation with them to find out where the point of divergence is. And we never get there, because he's not playing the same game of question and answer you are (google "Grician").
In other words, Valenti is just a troll. Can't we just mod him -1 and never hear from him again?
With what they're talking about, sounds like you'd only have one cable going from guitar to amp. Wouldn't need your effects pedals anymore, it'd either be in the guitar or amp digitally. If that's the case, your fudge factor is minimal.
I think the day when the majority of guitar players would be ok with someone telling them they don't need their effects pedals anymore because they're in the guitar is pretty far away. That would be like 'not needing' to put together computers from different components we like and know work well, but instead all use Dell machines with Windows XP (even if some might say xp isn't minimal fudge factor).
There already are 'all in one' digital solutions for those who want that, and amps with digital amp models and effects in one amp. But different effects pedals do different things, different pedals that provide the same effects sound different. Putting them together in a setup that works well is half the fun (or pain, depending on who you ask). I have both a rackmount multieffects unit and a bunch of stomp pedals. Which I use (often both together) depends on the situation. The rack unit is more convenient, but a board with effects pedals is a lot cooler (much like a homebuilt computer is cooler than a Dell).

Ahem, I didn't read grandparent properly. Since you can't edit posts just look at this post as a fix for the potential "oops" in parent.
Well, the Microsoft announces vulnerabilities while the Debian list announces availables fixes...
If one RTFA's, one will also see:

There are screenshots in the online documentation on eclipse.org as well.

In my university days I used to wait until I went home to see my parents and bring them with me.
Was it hosted by Geraldo?

Disclaimer, I have a windows iPod, Mac version might look different.

I wonder if Barnes, Jr. Odell, who requested "Justice, Equality, World Peace" was served the meal he requested.
:(
Damn, I felt uncomfortable reading that list
But... what else is there than p0rn, mp3s, Windows viruses and Slashdot referrals that could fill the void...?

I think the intro to Top Jimmy was referred to as a sort of showcase of what this guitar could do. I may just have dreamt that though.

Kazaa is/was programmed in Estonia, was it not? So the threat of RIAA lawyers is something they won't have to worry about ;)
