Likewise ACC has been found to be the best, with quite a number of studies by independant sources. Plus you could easily give iTunes Vorbis support if your using a mac.
Of course ripping your CD collection over to a codex no one uses was your fault, not Apples
there is none, except someone making it a big deal. It does exatly what it says it does, plays a playlist to your stereo without a line connection to it. Nothing more, Nothing less. For the money this is probably one of the better solutions out there.
Ahh but you missed some very important points in your argument. Your first mistake is the date you couldnt get gold for paper (it was actually in the 1970's and your wrong people where very much upset and angered by it, infact if you did a web search you would find people still are and are calling for the gold backed dollar again, especially right now)
Second, you dont actually go out to burn money, BUT you could very possible not realize you demagnitized your money card, ESPECIALLY if you accidentally run it over something you didnt think was magnetic.... Heck, if your car speakers in your doors are close enough to where your pocketes are, and they are powerfull enough (not hard to find speakers even, cheaply made ones, that are) you could demagnitize it sitting in your car!
NO im sorry you missed my point entirely. Unlike paper money, which could be redemed for another tangable item, we are talking about a intangable item. People made a huge stink when the freaking Borgota opened up in AC and you couldnt get coinage out of the casino machines anymore, so much so that I know people who still wont gamble there! And we are talking about just small amounts, large ammounts you where never able to take out but even 100 bucks not being tangable bothers people!
As a rule, people hate change, people hate not having tangable signs of wealth. Think about how many of our parents who where raised by depression era people who STILL wont use a bank because of what happened. If it does end up happening, its going to be a long time after I'm dead it does. Im not saying I dont like the idea (personally I have no problems with it, I use my check card all the time in lue of money) but there are a lot of people who would not want to use it and they are going to be the ones who decide
1) cards give off a aura of being traceable. Even if they wont be. You can thank the tin foil hat crowd for that (quite a number of whom last I checked posted on slashdot.)
2) Cards have move of a risk to them in some ways.... you cant demagnitize money but you sure as hell can demagnitize a cash card, probabaly easier than destroying money in the fact that a lot of our world around us uses magnites strong enough. Since there cant be a main account assosiated to the card, that money is now lost. While yes you can lose real money too, your not going to lose the money with it still being in your pocket like you would with a card.
3) Cards could be hacked.... anyone posting on slashdot should know that whenever technology is used for good or to protect laws, some asshole is going to hack it in the spirit of "freespeech" Could you imagine the state of our economy if someone posted the code to hack into your cash card and change how much money you have on it! Unlike counterfitting where you could eventually trace the fake money, you really cant do that very easily with a card unless it did have some traceable elements to it.
Sorry but a "cash card" is a futurists pipe dream, people will always want to see the ammount of money they have without using a machine. I dont think even in 100 years we would have dropped paper money.
says one AC to another, maybe if you took off the tin foil hat i would think you actually had half a brain. But then your cooment on my comment was moronic and typical of a troll so i think not
but this is the problem, at what point do you start to avoid EVERYTHING because its a avoidable risk?
I think its very arrogant to think that you can reasonably avoid these things.... very offten these "chemicals" are found in much higher levels in the ground around your house or in the food you eat than anything you would contract through a cellphone/computer/ etc.
Seriously it will. Water will give you cancer if you drink enough of it.... though at that point you will die of overhydration.
There has to come a point where we say OK yes it will kill me, but is it really that dangerous and that likely. This whole world like feeds on virus/chemical protection to the point that we might as well live in caves, but in clean white bacteria free caves!
Honesly I make it a point to NOT use antibacteria crap and to not really care about chemicals unless they have big freaking skull and crossbones on it because honestly, whats the point.... so I lose a few days of my life at least Im living it and not huddled in fear in a corner at the fact that everything can kill you.
Besides I find I dont get nearly as sick as my sniviling germ phobe friends, probably cause my body adjusts and forms antibodies to it.
Yeah Im going to die, but I highly doubt it will be my computer/cellphone/whatever that will do me in.
Most people DONT stream stuff from their PC, not because they cant do it, but because its not practical and it is not needed. Most people dont even want to run wires period, your telling them to run fiber, something that even for skilled techs is not a easy thing to set up.
Now lets go even further, why would a student need video conferencing IN THEIR DORM ROOM! Its uneeded, its overkill. If it where a classroom thats one thing, My schoolsytem has fiber running to each building. But dorm rooms? Yeah you might have a graphic design or music project with that large a file, but odds are your doing it in your lab, not your dorm room.
As for working on current tech, I would rather the students work on older tech than current stuff... why? Because if there is one thing I learned training now my third assistant, its kids who only grow up on new tech ONLY know new tech and are not worth it if you have a mixed infastructure, and in the real world thats just not feasable because old tech outweighs new tech out there....

Fiber To The Dorm Room

· Score: 4, Insightful
99% of the homes running cable and DSL havent even hit 10 bit eithernets limits for any sustained time..
Well then the discussion should have been ended.... the fact that my stating a scientific fact ends a disscusion means there wasnt a disscusion in the first place.
dude, EVERYTHING causes cancer if you get enough of it in your system....
I mean seriously, too much water will freaking give you cancer, the one hitch is that in order to get it you will die of overhydration LONG before you die of cancer.
Seriously, for their high end model supposedly it will have AV hookups so it will play whatever movies you have stored in your movies folder on your HD. You wont be able to play it on screen, only on a TV but I think thats a better move than playing it on a little 2 inch screen anyway....
who wants to watch movies on a 2 inch screen????
Before you say pictures, supposedly it will have a color screen and yes you will be able to view pictures on it, just not movies.
Course this is all rumor, but you never know, we already DO know the next gen iPod will have encode on the fly and the ability to do color from leaked memos from the chip manufacturer.
that California should be allowed to fall off the earth!
I mean seriously, you KNOW what your getting yourself into when you sign up, the company TELLS you FLAT OUT your mail is going to be scanned for ad placement, California has no right to say we we dont care its a intrusion even if the person agreed to be intruded on.
The fact that this is comming from a state that elected twice elected a actor as gov, and has tried to get rid of the master/slave lables yet also says people should have the right to decide what to put in their bodies (in regards to marajauna smoking) shouldnt come as unexpected....
um no quite....
Microsoft a) bought the exclusive rights by tricking Tim and his estranged wife into signing over the code, only after Tim complained about the fact that Bill used their divorce to trick the two of them out of it did he get a job at Microsoft....
Xerox PARC gave Jobs the go ahead, they couldnt see a use for either a graphical OS or a Mouse Jobs came by to see the graphical OS, and in the end they gave hime the rights to both without any fuss. Its only after Apple made it work that people say "they borrowed it" which was very much not the case.
Now this is not exactly like what happened with Microsoft where they backcoded the Mac system 1 from the machines they got from Apple to code Word. Apple caught wind and told them they could only use it in house but in signing the contract (one that was signed well after Jobs was fired from Apple, otherwise it would never have been) the contract allowed for them to sell it.
At first windows looked NOTHING like the Mac OS, it was only after Win 3.1 that the true nature of what Microsoft was doing was shown..... By that time it was too late.
Slashdot Mirror
um this is cheaper than any other Linksys 802.11g router I have seen.... Last I saw they where still 140.
current supported codex

nope thats 5 there.

the FP is a tool, this isnt a audio device, its a WIRELESS device with audio capabilities....
there is none, except someone making it a big deal. It does exatly what it says it does, plays a playlist to your stereo without a line connection to it. Nothing more, Nothing less. For the money this is probably one of the better solutions out there.
also works in OS X using SCUMM, I think this was a slashdot story a few months ago

Dude its not like there are little bits of food in it! They clean it out, most of the oil used in cooking is just dirty.
lots of dying nazi's screaming "my laven" or something to that effect.
am I the only one who didnt go running out to buy a SP??? My GBA works fine for me and only cost me 60 bucks... no 99 dollars here....

Why dont we ask Sony who is still trying to sell off all the Linux kits they made that no one bought for the PS 2
course it doesnt take one to see that this in no way recreates the extention problem
