Bad analogy I'm afraid. Hoodlums can't exploit saftey flaws. Not to mention that if there was a safety flaw, people could drive to a garage and get it fixed. What would happen with the anti-virus program?
Okay... So this is yet another social network. Except it open sourced. Hell, the blurb tells you how many social networks there already are. Why does this pass as news?

First they censored the music and I did not speak out-- because I did not like music. Then they censored the movies and I did not speak out-- because I did not like movies. Then they censored the video games and I did not speak out-- because I did not like video games Then they censored the asyncronous laser diode current controls-- and there was no one was no one left to speak for the asyncronous laser diode current control enthusiests.
Potato is a nightshade IIRC. As is the tobbacco plant.
As for the tomato == vegetable idea, if you don't know this, it may interest you. The supreme court of the united states declared the tomato a vegetable sometime in teh 1830s. At that time vegetables were taxed and fruits were not. A fruit importer was shipping tomatoes tax free, and he got in trouble for it. After that decision, tomatoes had all the legal attributes that vegetables did.
The guy's name was John Nix if you want to google up some more information.
Interesting question. To answer it, I went to the dictionary and found this:
Planet: A nonluminous celestial body
larger than an asteroid or comet, illuminated by light from a star, such as the sun, around which it revolves.
Emphasis mine. A quick look for asteroid got this:
Asteriod: Any of numerous small celestial bodies that revolve around the sun, with orbits lying chiefly between Mars and Jupiter and characteristic
diameters between a few and several hundred kilometers.
Emphasis mine again. Perhaps the dictionary needs some changing.
First of all, DRM can be applied to Ogg, so that's a non issue.
Far superior? Perhaps, but it depends largely on how you're encoding. At 192 Kb/s, AAC sounds generally better than Ogg Vorbis, which sounds generally better than MP3. However, Ogg Vorbis really shines at lower bitrates. Do a double blind test at around 64 Kb/s, and Vorbis will absolutely kick every other codecs ass. It will then laugh at its funeral and then piss on its grave.
That being said, Ogg Vorbis really wouldn't be right for this. Use the right tool for the job I always say.
Not at all. This guy is suing *google*. If he truly knew how pagerank worked, he wouldn't sue google, but he could sue the people linking to his site with offending text.
So to answer you're question, don't write destructive code. I'll sue you.
I think it should be manditory for people to know how things work before they can sue someone. I realize why this guy's suing (it wasn't HIS lisence revoked) but seriously. He should be given the job to check over the 3 billion pages google has for libel.
Flamebait? Whoever modded this doesn't own a mac on OS X. Trust me when I say Opera is probably the sloppiest port of a good program I've ever tried. I used to use it on Windows and Linux before Firefox won my approval, but on the mac the thing's horrible. It just doesn't feel like a mac program. We've already got some great cocoa browsers (Safari, OmniWeb, Camino, etc), so why should we bother with this mess?
My 5 gig, when I bought it, lasted 12 hours playing nonstop, backlight off. I did that same test a few weeks ago and it gets about 10 hours. The new thinner iPods get about 8-9 hours new. Now either of those with a color screen would get ~5 hours and would drive up the price immensly. Is that worth album art, photos, and porn?
There's a thing called paper. Been around over 2000 years now. Look into it.
So true. I've written a few songs myself. I've actually composed about 20, but more than half of them were actually other songs. I'll be strumming away, writing down chords thinking to myself "Hey, this sounds kind of cool". It's then that I realize I'm just playing a song already written I have in the back of my mind. It's how I learned to play Minority (Green Day), Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd), Chop Suey (SOAD), and White Riot (Clash) among others.
I found,
for my personal preference, that 128kbps AAC was at least as good as 192kbps MP3, if not better.
This statement irks me to no end. Your wording is better than most others though as you used for your preference.
The thing to remember is that MP3 and AAC are different encodings. Comparing AAC to MP3 (to OGG to WMA...) is not like comparing MP3 algorithms. AAC will throw out different sounds that MP3 will keep, and vice versa. For example, a symbol crash sounds a lot better on an MP3 than it does on a similarly encoded AAC (I use LAME MP3s and iTunes AACs, they might sound different on others). However, vocals are clearer on AAC than MP3. I find overall AAC is superior to MP3, and that's what I have my songs as. However, saying a 192 AAC == 128 MP3 is a bit faulty. Both have their strengths and both have their weaknesses.

Thank you, that was the joke.

On the opposite side of the spectrum...

I remember the iMac instructions for setting up the machine was a pamphlet with like 7 pictures.
Also I've read that the documentation for Final Cut Pro 4 is about 7 pounds.
Seperate professional from consumer I always say. Or at least, I think it pretty hard.
He's absolutely correct! Mod parent up informative!
The iTMS required a mac because it required iTunes to get in (which apple fixed by porting iTunes no less). This is just a freaking website.
And to the grandparent post, just turn off javascript and you'll get in.
First they censored the music

and there was no one was no one left to speak for the asyncronous laser diode current control enthusiests.
I don't know personally, but I've got an old flux capacitor you can borrow.
I just did a google myself and found out John Nix is also some NFL guy. You should try and add "tomato" to the search. Or you could just Click here.

Some record companies have no problem with it.
Audio Luncbox also allows you to have unrestricted mp3 or aac. Enjoy!

Yes, thank god Gnome isn't like that!
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go install Gaim, Gnumeric, Galeon, Grhino and Gtetrinet (gnome version of tetrinet, an internet tetris game).
Yes. And then you have a hug WAV the quality of a 128 Kbps WMA, or you have an mp3 whose quality can be compared to a robot fscking your ear.
