I would certainly pay for website content with a proper anonymous micropayment system in place, as long as it didn't cost any more than what the website owner would receive if I had clicked on the ad.
The fact that they used the totally-inappropriate JPEG format for their lineart keyboard layout image makes me wonder if they really are "über 1337 geex0rz". Rolleyes.
THANK YOU! The test/statement thing is my pet peeve. It should be Corporatism = !FreeMarket because that is a statement. Corporatism != FreeMarket is effectively a question.
Planescape: agreed. Simply my favourite game ever. It made you think, dammit! It was like playing a novel. Ultimate respect to the writers and artists.
The philosophy and depth were unparalleled. Just wish a Mac version had been released. I've just switched, and I guess my only hope is VirtualPC:(
OMG! Pay?! What is this....money? It's all evil I tell you, all of it! I should be able to walk into a coffee shop, and the guy gives me a mocha for free! FFS, I still don't get this...you mean to say some developers want *paying* for what they do? Job? Puh! </sarcasm>
Purlease. I hate greedy capitalism as much as every other/.er, but people need money to eat and other trivial stuff like that. I realise Microsoft are corporate bastards, but there are many companies who I would (and do) willingly give money to. If the developers of the Linux kernel want to give their stuff away for free, that's excellent, but it's not their paid-for job. There's a difference, dude.
hehe, web developers on the move. Am i the only one who finds that a shade strange? Video producers, yes. Sound engineers, certainly. Web developers? Hmmmm. If you are web developer who works on the move, please reply and prove me wrong!
...returns false, as the previous poster pointed out:)
Your statement should have been No FP = no OGG
What you put was a question! Time to dust off that C programming book and get reading, eh?;-)

..what i'd *really* like is that video-editing thing from minority report. now *that's* cool! as someone's already metioned, your arm would hurt after not long. fairly pointless as well, if yr screen is only in two dimensions. A mouse is great! If it ain't broke and all that...
1. hmm yea the cd-singles thing i've been thinking of for some time, but what you are suggesting would just frustrate me!! The difference being: all cd players are primarily designed to play the 12cm discs. Playing 8cm discs is then easy. if portable equipment *only* supported the smallest size, no albums on yr walkman! ok so you could say the whole album could fit on to the smallest disc, but then what would be the point of the medium sized one that, say, your separates at home could play? extra stuff a la DVD films? big wow. Great for companies who take people in with 'extra bonus content'. I ain't one of them.
Industrial bigguns? maybe, but there's not a great deal of point. the drives that read the big discs probably won't ever read any smaller discs: real life isn't as integrated as the designed ideal. The big discs may as well be a completely different format, optimised for the task.
2. I agree that singles should be released on 8cm discs: the amount of wastage is amazing! As i said above though, a tiny walkman would get on my nerves...
3. cool idea, but if you don't like the idea of a tiny walkman, no point. I suppose this kinda thing is personal, but i sure as hell wouldn't want to be changing the disc every 20mins...
I know i've talked about the CD format mostly, but that's because i think the setup works. if the next-gen format an get a high-quality album on a tiny disc, great! but then, as i said, there's no point in having the bigger consumer version.

Replace "rushed hacks" with "calls to closed-source Apple libraries" and you'll have a comment that isn't stupid.

Yeah, it can't do anything else beside this fancy finding thing of course, it's completely useless! XD

What a bloody awful name.
STOP WITH THE i PREFIX, PEOPLE. IT'S NOT BIG OR CLEVER.
Apple should have excusive rights to the i prefix so they can use it tastefully.
Gotta love it when Skynet's processing speed is measured in 'giga FLOPS per second'...!

Hey ho, it's the price you pay.

Gotta love a 'corporate', 'professional' website that gives Kazaa Lite as one of their downloads :)
Lovely.
