It would, however, be a very touch political maneuver to explain to the American people how you ended up winning the election, even after conceding it.
But as far as I know, the rest of the insert, the back cover, and the lyrics are not available digitally from a reliable source.
I have a hard time believing that Apple would have trouble getting cd booklets in a digitized form from the record companies if they believed they could sell them. And at that, I would be willing to bet that it would be a cheap proposition for Apple. The record companies already have the cd booklets in some digitized form, so it would simply be a matter of a little editing/conversion work to get them into something Apple could use. And if Apple can convince the record companies that there is money to be made by making those booklets available, I just don't see the record companies putting up any fight now that they've seen the kind of success Apple has produced with the iTMS.
Don't forget that NT started their numbering with 3.5...
Bzzt, wrong. NT started with 3.1. Perhaps 3.5 was the first really popular version of NT, but the first publicly released version of NT was, in fact, 3.1.
There is no-way the bloated WinXP could run with a 350Mhz and 128MB RAM.
Tell that to my last Sony laptop, a Pentium II 333 with 128mb ram that ran WinXP just fine. Of course I wouldn't have wanted to use it for games or any large compiles, but it did email, web, im, music, and (light) development perfectly well under XP.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but why would server owners want to "upgrade" to a smaller, quieter, more expensive drive if they're not even going to get a performance increase?
Perhaps they might see the value in fitting more drives into the same server enclosure?
Now if someone would only come up with a good time-shifting TV tuner of this quality for the Mac.
Someone else mentioned the El Gato solution for this, but I would highly recommend the Formac Studio. It costs more, but it is also much more capable--it can take Composite and S-Video inputs as well as the regular coax for tv. Beyond that, I personally think it has much better quality (I tried both before buying the Formac). As well, there is a 3rd party app (Vidi) for the Formac Studio that I think is better than any viewing/recording app I have used on either Mac or Windows.
While maybe not popular here on/., Metallica does exactly what you're talking about. They sell soundboard recordings of every concert in both MP3 and FLAC, usually within 48 hours of the show. For those that care, its here.
From what I understand, just like the service Phish has. I just wish more bands did the same.
So to avoid having the CD install DRM software on your computer, you used a DRM system you already had (iTunes) to buy the songs in AAC format with DRM?
I chose to install iTunes. And I chose to buy songs from iTMS.
And although I bought this CD, I did not choose to install its DRM.
Just about every online poker site I've seen had some sort of tournament that earned the winner a ticket to the WSOP.
Personally I only know for sure of PokerStars, PokerRoom, and UltimateBet, but I'm sure all the others were the same. But in every case, it was a real money tournament. However, there were satellite tournaments for these as well, with buy-ins as low as $30.
I don't know who to ridicule first, Dominoes for having such a stupid sizing policy, or you, for not wising up and just saying medium to avoid the situation altogether.
And if you send him a proper unsubscribe request, he really will unsubscribe you.
From where, exactly, did you derive this bit of fiction?...
Umm, actually, I have successfully unsubscribed 3 separate addresses from richter's lists, one old work address and two personal addresses.
Obviously there is plenty of sentiment out there about not unsubscribing, but I think more and more that the companies that are putting their legit contact info in those emails don't want to end up screwing themselves by turning around and mailing to or selling unsubscribed addresses. That's not to say there isn't plenty of spam out there with an unsubscribe link but no legit contact info, but those are the only unsubscribe links I'd be truly wary about. My experience has shown that following unsubscribe links in emails that also contain legit contact info has decreased the amount of spam I get considerably (at least 25%), so it's a guideline I would definitely recommend to others.

It sounds like a great platform for a distributed high traffic relational database, does it not?
How come everytime that Apple has an update people report that there have been crashes.
Because, typically, Apple users expect things to Just Work(tm). So, when things don't Just Work(tm), most Apple users will complain loudly.
Conversely, most Windows users don't have such an expectation. So when an update comes along that does break something, I imagine not nearly as many Windows users are inclined to complain loudly about it.
Of course there will be a small number of users that are adversely affected by an update, whether it is for Windows or OS X. What really stands out sometimes is just who complains louder. And like I said, because of their high expectations, I think Apple users are far more inclined to complain about things breaking.
FWIW, I have never had a single problem with OS X updates, and I've installed every single one issued by Apple from 10.1.1 up to the current 10.3.3. And in 8 years of updating Windows, I've only had a single problem with an OS update (though it did require a complete reinstall).
Going from the link to Wasabi that you provided, I stumbled upon their license page, which specifically says that Winamp 5 uses Wasabi:
"Wasabi is not totally open-source: the core skinning and Maki scripting framework (wasabi.dll) is still closed-source, as it is used in Nullsoft's flagship product Winamp 5."
Obviously, I could just be missing something. But it sure seems like Wasabi is indeed used in Winamp 5.
People do have a right to complain if they feel a service is bad, even if it's free.
Note to self:
Next time I start a free service, make clause 1 of the user agreement something to the effect of "Your right to complain about the Service is herby irrevocably revoked".
From what you describe, it sounds to me like the whole problem here was human error with regards to how the machines were handled. You say "Oh no, Windows CE!", then go on to say not a single thing that the OS itself was at fault for.
I'm no more of a fan of the crap from Redmond than anyone else here, but I figure there are enough things that Windows does deserve to be blamed for that we don't need to throw in any that it doesn't deserve.
Yes, they do. You can even buy uncut sheets of them from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. I'm sure they're not as actively circulated nowadays, but they're definitely still printed. See the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing website for more info.
Just drop the backwards compatibility. It's not going to be in the next system. It doesn't need to be in it and it also hinders developement. Get over it.
I'd venture to say, and I believe many would agree, that the success of the PS2 greatly depended on the fact that it was able to play PS1 games. The games for the PS2 during the first year of its release were abysmal; the only reason that many could use to justify a PS2 purchase was "well, it will run my PS1 games and the stuff thats coming out in the future". How successful would the PS2 have been in that first year if it didn't play PS1 games?

Is Kerry's concession legally binding?
No, it is not.
It would, however, be a very touch political maneuver to explain to the American people how you ended up winning the election, even after conceding it.
The fact that I've chosen a MAC should say something loud and clear:
That you are better at manipulating the properties of your network card than the average schmoe?

A gun in the hands of a policeman generally helps our society be a safer place. The gun in the hands of a criminal generally does the opposite.
And what about the vast majority of people that want to own a gun--those that are neither a policeman, nor a criminal?
Oops, make it two questions... Have you ever even used nmap?

... and any number of cards, AGP, PCI, etc can multimonitor. That was a new thing. I'm not 100% sure OSX has this today?
Yes, it does. I remember it specifically from 10.2, but I believe 10.1 at least had it as well.

I hate this routine every time I order Dominoes:

they dropped wasabi.

(although it's likely still better than the morons who think Q7 offsuit is worth calling a raise with)
Thats a pretty blanket statement. I can think of a number of situations off-hand where calling a raise with Q7 offsuit would be a smart play.

So you won't run linux because of the license philosophy, but Solaris, Windows, and OSX are OK? That's pretty screwy.
I saw him talk about Plan9 and Linux, but nowhere did I see "Solaris", "Windows", or "OS X". Did I miss something?
