The DRM is added in the transport layer... the audio encoding algorithm itself has no concept of DRM. DRM can be added to FLAC in an OGG container, just as it is added to ALAC in a QuickTime container.
ALAC probably exists because of an algorithmic or patent-related reason.
Do you _know_ anyone who works there?

The NSA is in Maryland and it's full of geeks and money. Like literally overflowing. They had to dig a run-off ditch but no one wanted to bit the bullet and pick up a shovel.
Ever use Bryce3d? God that was an awful piece of shit. It didn't help every control was a low-contrast 3d-rendered widget that tried to map 2d dimensional mouse motion un-intelligently into a 3d operation.
Subarus are known for being long-lasting and reliable. I can't really say the same for _current_ Mercedes. And why would you want to pass a car on to your children in this day and age? It won't have any of the standard features cars 20 years from now should have in a car in that price range.
the time spent _browsing_ through the for-pay selection, and the five minutes compromising? If you already know what you want for your ringer, then you should damn well be able to put it straight onto your phone. (I bought a cable and downloaded a "developers kit" for this purpose).
Stand out from the crowd and put something unique and therefore unmarketable on your phone. For christ's sake people, I don't need to hear 5 different people with the same lame-ass 50cent ringtones.
Then your phone can handle it (if new). Converting to WAV/MP3 preserves the sound quality best... and the tinny speaker will really bring out the buzz of the sawtooth generator.
Friend's Ring: Techno de Chocobo. It's great for a WAV/MP3 tone because it has a little intro that lets you click it to voice mail before the "siren" goes off. If you've heard it you know what I mean.:-)
Other ring: Varies, usually is some Zelda woods theme or Mario's invincible jingle.
Yeah, a Dell PowerEdge 1750 is no treat to use up close and personal. On the other hand, a Precision 670 (well hell _any_ precision) is damn quiet. Even with a Quadro GFX card. And the Optiplex GX270 is silent. I swear to you I keep accidentally turning them OFF when I thought I was turning them on.
I really don't know what kind of shitty Dells you guys have to deal with but I feel sorry for you.
provided that they trust the people responsible for maintaining and operating said system, and demonstrating that all compartmentalization/security requirements are met, etc. etc. I knew people running FreeBSD, non-trusted Solaris, generic Linux w/SNARE. etc. on SIPRNET. And DISA was fine with it. I don't know if there was other documentation in place to make that possible, but apparently it wasn't a problem.
Seriously. I live and die by the availability of such certifications. Even if we don't really implement it exactly, it's nice to be able to point to this and say, HEY, SLES 9 is EAL4 (mutter: in that configuration), it's perfectly fine! And it's business as usual, albeit with one less win2k paperweight (which doesn't really have a valid EAL cert either, so who's fooling who?)
There's another side to that coin. It goes like this:
I willfully don't profit off my stuff so nobody else should either unless they ask me first and I negotiate seperate terms with them.
What's wrong with that? I think some things that are trivial don't deserve the GPL... but large projects and infrastructures do deserve some kind of gating to sustain the project's development and gauge it's viability.
The key is that it was hardware.

There is no such restriction on software (since 2000, as I have been previously corrected)

which was much more restrictive and is why stuff like netscape and IE only had 48-bit encryption for awhile. But that was mid-90s. That distinction went away when the version 4s came out, remember?

You kind of have to meet them before you can ask.
You can thank me later. I think you were having a seizure.

I'd rather use AutoCAD.

Incoming message: Capcom intro jingle. Very cool.
Check voice mail: Zelda "discover secret" sound.
Just an example...

They also make a version targetted for embedded/settop uses.

Hence the ask slashdot, dipshit. ;-)
Also, it looks like there is a "Reduced Network Support" install option that is appropriate for this, too, but I've never used it.
/etc
It goes like this:
# cd
# for each in hostname.*; do ifconfig `cut -c 10- $each` down; done
Did you ever consider turning all the services "off", setting inittab's default to 1, then running everything from runparts rc3.d from rc.sysinit?
MUWAHAHAHA.
