I fail to understand anything you've said in this section. iTMS was the first the RIAA let slide? It is pretty amazing how easy a company will let something slide when you pay them a per-song fee. If they didn't do that, say like MP3.COM, the RIAA would probably crack down on them. Oh wait. That is what happened.
If you failed to understand it, how could you have commentary on it???
I thought (and I might be wrong on this) that you had to buy the CD to download it from mp3.com. That just seems like fair use to me. Regardless, if they were allowed to, mp3.com would have had a music store. The music industry didn't trust the online thing at all, and postponed it as much as they could.
Okay sure. This now means I have to always use the iTunes player to listen to the iTunes songs. Again, if I go to a new service that uses DRM, iTunes won't play that music and neither will that service play my iTunes. So again, I fail to see your point. I never said "dude, switch to Walmart Connect because ITMS sucks". My point is, being able to play music from multiple music stores using the same software is a good thing.
For any non-DRM music I have now or I buy in the future, iTunes will never "lock-me-in" to its player. If the RIAA will only allow music stores to sell music online with DRM, I don't see why that makes iTMS the evil entity. I never said it would. I thought we were discussing online music stores, not DRM free music. I think you are responding to the EFF community, not so much as my particular comment.
For the majority of iTunes users, we don't care about the DRM that is there. People will care when some other company makes an MP3 player that's more trendy then the iPod.
The point I was getting at is Open Office is a lot like Microsoft Office, which was a lot like the office suite before that. XMMS is a lot like winamp, which was a lot like audio players before it. AIM is a lot like ICQ. All software is to some extent a derivative of something before it. That's how progress works. It's good because it makes things better, and it adds some consistency for users. So Songbird looks a little too much like iTunes. Big whup.
It's probably not worth posting anything not positive about Apple anymore, since most of the anti-iTunes comments (outside of relating to its memory footprint) are being modded troll.
I'm posting this just in the off chance the parent wasn't being sarcastic.
The iTunes interface is patented, and this is just blatant!
Have you used any office suite lately?
I can burn as many CDs as I want, share the music with multiple computers, and copy them anywhere at will.
There is a limit in iTunes to how many CD's you can burn, you can't copy iTunes music from a shared iTunes folder, and there's a limit to how many computers can be authorized to access your music.
we've already DONE the multiple stores thing for years
ITMS is just the first one RIAA let slide. MP3.com tried to do the closest thing they could, and got their asses sued. And you can't get music from multiple stores and play it all from the same player (without cracking it). That, capitan, is what we call a monopoly. Keep using us (the first one to market), and if you switch, you can't listen to all your old music.
I have never, ever come across any limitation.
Based on your statisical sample of 1, 100% of people never see a limitation. GOooooddd.
"Four computers will be running pretty much all the time" "We'll still be students" That strongly implies more than 2 hours a day of home usage. I wouldn't be surprised if it was 12 or more. College student? Posts on Slashdot? There's a good chance their homework is done on the computer, recreation is done largely on the computer (games), and socializing is done largely on the computer (IM, Blogs). OLD 19" CRTs are closer to 150 watts of usage from what I've read. Summer time (when power over so many kwh's costs like 50-75% more) we'll have the additional air conditioning costs. So depending on actual usage, climate, energy costs, etc, we're looking at 3-8 years for payoff. Not exactly a single line "Wrong.".
If you include auxiliary benefits such as decreased eye fatigue, less space on the desk, clearer picture, etc, an LCD is a good idea. I know we're not discussing whether or not LCDs are a 'good idea', but I believe they are for any heavy computer user.
* Continued living with our old outdated computer monitor In the long run, you'll probably break even or save money with the power savings from an LCD monitor.
You'd think they'd get their own flagship corporate email product, Exchange 2003, to support it. Tentatively we won't see Exchange supporting Sender ID until SP2 comes out at the end of the year. No idea if there are plans for Exchange 2000 (and older) to support it, even though I believe 2000 still has a greater market share than Exchange 2003.
As he said, "integrated". The comparison didn't have a non-integrated GPU like the Go5640 in it. Yeah the graphics comparison is hardly fair, but in the end the AMD system is going to be cheaper than the Intel system, with the ATI chipset and everything.
So those were system figures. Subtract roughly 60 watts from both cases (everything is the same except for the motherboard), and then we have the P4 system taking TWICE the power. Still with the same TDP. My point still stands.
The ML-37, ML-34, and ML-30 all have 1M cache. Only the ML-32 has 512K. And according to AMD's performance rating, a 1.8ghz Turion with 512K cache will perform between a 1.8 with 1M, and a 1.6 with 1M. So, going from 512K to 1M probably offers somewhere around the same performance increase as 100 MHz. Also, older Pentium M's with 1M cache performed pretty well, and was pretty close in performance to the newer Pentium M's.
Architecture has some bearing on performance too, there's more to life than L2 cache.
You're still not right. And Performant still isn't a word.
Intel shows it's thermal design power (TDP) at 27 watts for the 2Ghz chip, while AMD shows 35 watts. This is, however, an apples to oranges comparison. Intel's Prescott P4 at 2.8Ghz has a TDP of 89 watts, the same as an Athlon64 2800+. But according to this link,
the P4 will actually draw 179 watts compared to the Athlon's 115. So, if the "marketing delta" holds true for the mobile line as well, we can expect the AMD solution rated at 35 watts to use roughly 45 watts of power at load, while the "27-watt" Pentium M will take 54 watts.
According to TFA, Turion notebooks might have 1/3 the battery life of Intel's Ultra Low voltage products. Now, Intel has a separate line of ultra-low-voltage Pentium M's, not to be confused with normal Pentium M's. The ultra low voltage Pentium Ms are only available at 1-1.2 Ghz, Turion's bottom out at 1.6 Ghz. So it's not a fair comparison. Regardless, with the power taken from the LCD and hard drives and stuff, I doubt it's even possible for an ultra low voltage Pentium M having 3 times the battery life of a Turion using the same battery.
I don't think you followed deglr6328's point. He was debating the following statement:
the amount of power being extracted from the atmosphere would be more than the increase in greenhouse gas atmospheric energy forcing since 1600
You are saying that reducing CO2 production lessens the greenhouse effect, which no one is arguing. But js7a wrote, that extracting energy from the atmosphere would reduce global warming. That is the point that deglr6328 is disagreeing with, and I'm guessing you disagree with the point as well.
In St. Cloud MN you can get a package that includes 1.5mbps cable internet, analog cable, and local phone service for $70. There are 2 providers in St. Cloud. Now I moved to Fargo ND, and it costs $130 for the same service, because Cable One (the Fargo cable provider) has a monopoly.

"Liar" and "Lawyer" are anything but mutually exclusive.
Similarly, spelling well and correct use of industry terminology don't really go hand in hand with being a lawyer.
The m in his name stands for monolith.

1/3 less, not 1/3 of. My bad. It would still only hold true comparing the Turion to the Ultra Low Voltage Pentium M though.
