Apparently, MyTunes grabs the actual file somehow, which may or may not involve streaming in the usual "normal speed playback" sense.
I just downloaded MyTunes and tried it on the LAN in my dorm. Once you start a song in iTunes, it is added to a list in MyTunes of songs that you can copy. Choosing to copy a song takes mere seconds, and, as far as I can tell, it is a perfect copy: all ID3 data is retained, the size of the files is the same, etc.
You say that CS students are learning VB.NET. I am a CS major at MUN and the VAST MAJORITY of labs at the university run on Linux. We have NO Microsoft-specific courses.
I second that. I am an IT student at the University of Minnesota (one of the largest universities in the US) and I haven't heard even a mention of.NET, even though Microsoft makes substantial donations towards research here. The progression of languages taught here is Scheme, (C++), Java, Assembly, C.
The University servers run on different flavors of Linux, and a majority of the websites are PHP/MySQL-driven rather than ASP/MSSQL.
I don't believe this. Someone makes a comment about extracting 3D models from video footage, and after 7 hours, not a single comment has been made regarding porn. Come on! "Henk Poley" practically handed this setup to you on a platter!
it already runs on linux so there aren't any licensing issues that i know of
SCO? I'd call that an issue...
Try the Drinking Man's Diet

· Score: 3, Funny
Oh, I'm on the Drinking Man's Diet, It came from a book I was loaned. It's really terrific and quite scientific And I'm half stoned.
For breakfast some cornflakes and vodka, But cornflakes have carbohydrate; So I don't eat those fattening cornflakes, I eat the vodka straight.
Drink, drink, everyone drink; It's not as bad as we used to think. With every Manhattan your stomach will flatten, So drink, drink, drink.
The Air Force invented this diet, A fact which they hotly deny. Of course they deny it, 'cause this is the diet That got the Air Force high.
For lunch you can have three martinis, What better lunch is there than that? But caution: do not eat the olives, 'Cause olives make you fat.
Drink, drink, everyone drink; It's not as bad as we used to think. If pounds you would burn off, then turn on your Smirnoff, And drink, drink, drink.
For dinner, a nice Scotch and soda Now that oughtta help you to lose. No whipped cream, no butter, just lay in the gutter And booze, booze, booze.
Suppose you should meet a policeman, Who says you've been quenching your thirst; You just tell him it's physical fitness And health comes first!
Drink (hic!), drink (hic!), booze everywhere (hic!); Pass that decanter of bourbon there. I'm fatter than ever, but here's what's so clever: I don't care!
I don't even remember if Altavista is still around
Yeah, how in the world would one find out if AltaVista was still around? I mean, it's not like you hear about AltaVista everyday, but surely there must be a way to discover the status of the AltaVista search engine...
still hunting for a good way to block flash ads...
This is what you want: PrefBar. You can sit it right below the address bar and have access to enabling/disabling flash, cookies, popups, images, Java, javascript, UA spoofing, and so on. It's great.
It was in rural Minnesota, and about half way there, it gave him the direction to go west 1.7 miles on a certain street, then turn left. It gave no street name, nor was there an weasy way to find out what it was.
That's not a mistake by MapQuest; here in rural Minnesota, there is only one street, so we never bothered to name it.
Now customers can get their data 24/7 instead of 3/24.
So they get their data 24 hours a day, 7 days a week instead of 3 hours a day, 24 days a week? I don't know about you, but having 17 extra days to my week just by using MS WinServer is enough to win me over (pun intended).
I'd say that perhaps 99% of lay-people would, if shown a computer sans monitor, keyboard and mouse, call it either "a CPU", "a processor" or "a hard drive", and a few will call it "a modem" or "some computer thingy". This does not make these terms correct.

Re: ICANN Advisory Concerning VeriSign's Deployment of DNS Wildcard Service dated 19 September 2003
Dear Paul:
This will respond to the ICANN Advisory concerning VeriSign's Deployment of DNS Wildcard Service dated 19 September 2003. In the footsteps of several other registries that have done the same, we recently deployed a wildcard in the.com and.net zones. This was done after many months of testing and analysis and in compliance with all applicable technical standards. All indications are that users, important members of the internet community we all serve, are benefiting from the improved web navigation offered by Site Finder. These results are consistent with the findings from the extensive research we performed.
We are, of course, very interested in any objective technical information ICANN may have received concerning the service and would welcome the opportunity to work with you to review such data. To that end, we have reached out to schedule meetings with ICANN's Chairman, Vint Cerf, and the Chairman of ICANN's Security and Stability Advisory Committee, Steve Crocker, to exchange information regarding issues that may be encountered in the community. We have also formed an independent technical review panel to gather and analyze data for the purpose of assessing any operational impact of our wildcard implementation. The technical review panel will consist of leading experts in the field.
As to your call for us to suspend the service, I would respectfully suggest that it would be premature to decide on any course of action until we first have had an opportunity to collect and review the available data. After completing an assessment of any operational impact of our wildcard implementation, we will take any appropriate steps necessary.
I look forward to continuing to work with you on this issue.

It's coming from the assumption that since radius's plural is radii, that virus's plural must be virii. People stick two i's on the end because that's how radii ends, forgetting that radii has two i's because radius has an i in it already.
I really wasn't trying to be funny, just commenting on the sad situation of a large percentage of low-income families: broadband, satellite, manicures, and pricey clothes all seem to come before vaccinations, sanitation, and education.
Satellite dishes aren't hard to find; just visit any trailer park or upper-lower/lower-middle class neighborhood, and I guarantee you, there'll be a dish stuck on the corner of every other house. The kids'll be running around half-naked, there'll be a car or two on the lawn, but getting satellite tv still seems to be first priority.
Your ethernet jack was disabled until you proved to them that you had been patched.
No it wasn't. They just politely "asked" that you patch before connecting, and if it was found that you didn't, your ethernet jack would be cut off, with the possibility of your entire residence hall being cut off as well.
How's that for peer pressure? 12 floors of college students without Internet access because of you. I wouldn't want to go through that again - I mean, ever... for the first time...
