They're all correct. Crappy as DW can be, it does this job really, really well. I use it daily as a first step to posting our internal docs to our intranet.
I agree!! And you know what else? Fat chicks. I hate it when guys want to marry fat chicks. And niggers, too. I mean, if God had wanted white people to marry niggers, He wouldn't have made continents, right? Same with chinks and spics. I don't hate them, I just don't want regular people to marry them.
Yeah, you and me, brother! We're a-goin' to heaven.
Wait a second. You don't think it was immoral? Are you out of your mind? Sex, or sexual behavior of any kind by an adult with a minor is always, universally immoral. In this society, 18 is considered to be a minor.
older fuel guzzling cars that are not as efficient as the newest SUVs
Wrong, wrong, wrong as hell. Even older SUVs get better mileage than the newer ones. Why? because they are exempt from passenger car fuel efficiency standards, and there are TAX BREAKS for their ownership.
After 25 years in the music business, I can tell you for a fact that the artist is getting screwed, but not by circumventing DRM. As Don Henley once said, "Were getting f*cked either way, so download it all you want." He really said that, I was there.
No artist was ever hurt by greater exposure of their art. Publishers, maybe, but artists, no.
Dude, I have the same issue on my machine (dual g4 1gig, mirror door) at work. I called Apple, and they wert through the whole list of stuff, including reinstalling the OS, and nothing has helped. Just to clarify the symptoms: It will wake up if it's only been asleep for a few minutes, like 3, but more than that, and I have to UNPLUG it, and start up. Its really not a problem for a desktop, as you said, I just leave it on all the time anyway, but it's a bit weird. I'll install the update today, and see if anything changes.
Were you there when Lilith Fair / Sarah McLachlan put out that Lilith Fair live recording? Because I was on that recording, and I was paid exactly sweet FA. Despite the fact that I am a dues paying union member, and had a brand new baby at home, I was unable to get one fucking cent for my contract labor. That is not IP, but actual work! Calls to the production company, management, &c. went unanswered, and I was left to figure some other way to feed my daughter.
This is just one of very many examples of a musician being fucked out of his hard earned $, even though he signed a legally binding contract! I can't afford the kind of legal representation that Sarah McLachlan can, so I have to eat it.
My daughter, wife and I say "Thanks a bunch, you fucking cunt."
Hear, hear! They didn't find mine till I was 9. I had to wear a patch for two years. My vision got better, but it's still pretty wack. BTW, Don Henley has it, too.
The Squeezebox is the coolest AV thing I've seen in years. I don't have a TV or Stereo system in my living room; my house is too big to run the wires from my giant system downstairs. This thing is tiny, and with a decent set of powered speakers (I use ARs), I can put music wherever I want it for way less than the price of an amp. Friends over, out on the deck? Drag it out there and plug in the power and, BAM, 6.8 quazillion songs.
I suppose I could have a big beige 486 with a 15" monitor grinding away in the corner. Or I could have this tiny, extremely well-built, fan-less, silent box sitting on a shelf somewhere.
I don't work for them or anything, but if you haven't seen one of these in action, don't be too rash to judge it. All of my geek friends freak out when they see it. All of my non-geek friends just sort of haze over while I try to explain it to them. How perfect is that?
And furthermore, you say you play several instrumants, but don't read, so what do you play? That's like saying I speak, but not language. If you "play" an instrument, but don't know what you're playing, you're babbling. As a pro player, I find it very frustrating when I ask the "artist" weather that is supposed to be a dotted eighth note or not, and they just giggle and say, "oh, I don't read music, I just write songs."
OK, I've been a succesful pro musician for more than 20 years. I've played on many multi-platinum recordings. My experience is that most rock and pop musicians can read music to some degree, and those that can't are rightfully embarrased by their ignorance. If you can't read music, you can't collaborate with musicians.
I agree with you. But I think that since the majority of Pentagon policy makers are shadow employees of weapons dealers, the gun in the face will be the preferred method. Of course, Halliburton et al will make more money if the "War on Terrorism" is UNsuccesful, because then demand for weapons will outpace supply.
virtually all of the people who hate cops have had prior run-ins with them... ie. they are some kind of scofflaw, or associate with such folks
That is such utter bullshit that even slashdot should be ashamed. I have personally been assaulted by a gang of criminals while an armed, on duty cop watched and did nothing. Then, after I had been held down and kicked by the group, more cops arrived and accused ME of causing trouble. I have been walking down the street in NYC with a friend and, since he is black, had 3 cops throw him against a wall and stick a billy club in his kidneys, call him 'nigger' repeatedly, and toss him to the sidewalk, all on his way home from work, at his taxpaying, law abiding job. I have been riding in a car in Beverly Hills and pulled over and asked to show ID because the driver was black. I don't hate all cops, my brother-in-law is a State Trooper, but I don't trust cops. I obey the law. I hate people who break the law, and I hate punk-ass chumps who get jobs as cops because they have been weak, pussies their whole lives and being a cop makes them feel like a big bad ass. So why don't you check that 'virtually all people' crap and read up a bit yourself, dillweed.
Hear, hear! I've been a professional musician for 20 years. I've been very succesful, played on Broadway shows (the US version of West End), Grammy-winning multi-platinum cds, international tours and TV shows etc. If you listen to the radio or watch TV, you've likely heard me play. I'm not saying this to brag, but to concur, in part, to the parent.
I've spent most of my life practicing, and studying my instrument, easily enough time to have gotten a graduate degree. And I get: waking up in motel rooms, standing in line at airports, and very occasionally, being treated like a rock star. But the society in which I live doesn't seem to consider my contribution important. There have been a couple of years where I made >$80k(US), but those years meant 200+ days gone from my wife and daughter, round the clock. Factor in gigantic phone bills, the hefty tax on being self-employed, no insurance, and you start to think about a career change. I'm getting my CS degree right now. Please don't mention India.
Now, on the topic of using computers for *live* performances, many of the
acts I've played with use *recordings* of music in their live shows, sorry,
but it's true. I'm sure many of you have seen performances where this was going
on and didn't even know it. Some people find this offensive, some don't. But
the use of digital recording technology in live performance is very widespread,
and acceptable to the music industry. In addition, the singers that you hear
on records(sic) are most likely not really singing those notes, they are being
manipulated by software, primarily for intonation. So maybe it's not so bad
that they're not singing live, either.
The unions were able to stop
this replacement of artists on Broadway, but they (we) likely can't hold out
forever.
I'm a CS major in California, and one of my friends is a CE major. We're on the same track as far as hardware and software class go, but he is essentially getting an EE at the same time. Seriously, I think it's about 180 units. I wish I had that kind of time, but I'm old and I want to graduate before I'm 50. But my friend is gonna know EVERYTHING! If I were young, and just starting, I would go for CE just cause there is so much cool extra stuff they expose you to.
Slashdot Mirror
I think it's probably pretty easy to guess why
To keep poor people from voting, somehow?

I would prefer to say "au revoir" to Windows, myself.
If you want to raise a bush-person, don't you think pre-school is kind of a waste?

But he was a MINOR. In the US, he is the responsibility of his parents. A human brain doesn't finish developing untin the early 20's.
I am so fucking tired of this trying juveniles as adults bullshit!! If we can't take resposibility for our children, then we shouldn't have them.
If you don't know what your child is doing on his computer, then turn it off.

Letting your GF run Explorer? Chivalry is dead, indeed.
G4 iBook / $1k. If you can find a better laptop than that, buy it.

Minutes? c'mon. I'm running OOo 1.0.3 and it IS slow to load. But it's less than a minute, and, suprisingly, I find it more stable than Office vX.
It's pored.
