You can (sort of) subvert the lack of pre-announcing or published schedules.
You can have a buffer running, like w/ Tivo, that's continuously recording.
You can use some magical software that identifies songs, then if a desired song is identified, the chunk of the buffer containing that song can be saved.
Also, you could use some 'if you like the Doors, you probably like Pink Floyd' software to flag things that might potentially be of interest to the radioTivo's owner.
It'd be hit or miss, but for a while the real Tivo kept insisting on recording Spanish language programs for my non Spanish speaking self, so it's not like the bar is high.
So, all we need is some of that magical software...I have heard similar stuff is floating around, you probably have to pay big bucks to use it at this point.
Yeah, but staple Streamripper and some sort of scheduler together, and you're a long way toward that radioTivo. I use the combo to record some internet radio shows that are on too late at night...
I haven't even seen it, but somehow even the sight of Mike Myers as the Cat in the Hat strikes terror and loathing into my very soul. I read recently that dragons were actually a composite of the things that terrified early humans the most: predatory cats like lions and tigers, venomous serpents, with the wings thrown in for extra terror, and I think Mike Meyers as the Cat in The Hat is some similar nightmare anti-ideal.
I think the Cat in The Hat would have worked better as a horror film, with the cat being a Pennywise-type character. The horrible things Hollywood inflicts on the little kids...
I don't know, if somebody went on CNBC everyday and said you beat your wife and kids and probably cheat at cards, too, you'd probably have a hard time sitting by and ignoring it.
The system you describe is still a ramshackle clown's pant assortment of cool programs you found by searching around and doing all kinds of homework, not an integrated one-stop-shop piece of software. Now, I'm not saying that's bad, you probably learned a lot in the process and even had a lot of fun doing it, so to you it has value and the opportunity cost of your time/effort spent is fine.
To average Joe blow computer user, the alternative:
aka 'Priests, Pros and Zealots', one of the most poorly constructed arguments I've ever seen get published to the web, and that's saying something. That one was also a Slashdot story some weeks ago. His logic was at the level of 'she weighs the same as a duck, so she's made of wood, and therefore a witch. Burn her!'.
Rob Enderle=Quote Mill, and it's just not worth it to pay any attention to him whatsoever. It just feeds his twisted 'Linux users are persecuting me!' fantasies. There are plenty of people who dislike Linux AND have technical knowledge and ability to write, unlike Enderle. Attention is better spent on them; at least we can learn something from them.
Fortean Times? I pick that magazine up when I want a diverting little dose of wack-job conspiracy-theory, strange cults, bizarre phenomenon material. You can get it at a lot of bookstores here in the US. Look for the UFO type magazines, it's usually in with them.
The news would be something along the lines of: The Orlando Magic ban audiences from attending games because 'we can't make baskets when people are looking'.
Thanks for jumping on that. Either he is that stupid or is just a fan of Ali G. For the moderators who modded him up, though, it's easier to figure out: they are just f-ing stupid. Nothing new there.
How does the parent's lack of understanding of the most basic aspects of trademark law qualfy as "insightful?"
You missed the moderator's meeting where they laid down the law:
A comment is to be rated insightful if and only if:
It is over 100 words long
At least 90% of those words are spelled properly
Reasonable grammar is used
After reading the comment, a person with no knowledge of the subject matter might have to think for a second or do a Google lookup before saying 'That's complete bulls***'.
I hope this clears it up for you and everyone else.
...He was inspired by the bit where Bob fakes being paralyzed by an assassin's bullet in order to get sympathy and 'martyr' status (he reveals himself as a fake by tapping his foot while sitting in a wheelchair performing a song). Darl decided to play the wounded puppy to get some press time and pump up SCOX for some Christmas time insider selling.
Yes, atomic bombs are for mining AND defending the Earth from an Asteroid the size of Texas! Only sick freaks would ever think of using them to kill people...
Yup, and the Nobel prize was something he did out of guilt over being responsible for TNT killing a lot of folks. I think he somehow convinced himself it would only be used for mining or something. We all practice denial sometimes.
No, I think he was saying somebody with a GPA below 3.5 might have a hard time getting one of them fancy Nobel Prize thingies.
He may have also said something about needing an above 3.5 GPA to be able to understand what he had written, but I think it's more a matter of not having a hair trigger or being too defensive. Not like anybody gives a rat's ass about GPAs once you've been out of school a couple years, anyway...

A lot of folks would never pay $4 for a cup of coffee, either, but that didn't stop any Starbucks execs from buying a vacation home.

Maybe because the band is 'Sebadoh'. However, I bet even if you spell it right, you don't find it (sigh). Glad I still have those old CDs and records.
Actually I think iTunes has that problem too, for instance, a 'skit' on a rap album that's 30 seconds long will be listed for $0.99.
STFU? See the freaking...what did you intend 'U' to stand for there, Mike?

He hates the word 'free' so much, after all...

Is a vastly better deal.

Well, we already have tools who post duplicate stories, so this can't be far behind.

Thanks for the links, I know I for one don't make any audio purchases until I've had a chance to read what 'Goonerz4eva' from Wales has to say.

it'll be called LOSX, Lolaris, LeOS, or LOS/2, one of those.

Dang, turns out Python is the language I'm most 'stereotype compatible' with, and I've been wasting all this time with Java and Perl.

Yeah, few people realize that that's the forgotten item on Hilbert's list of challenging problems for the 20th Century, 'save a few bucks on jeans'.
Thanks to the exploitative practices of Wal-Mart, et al, that problem was indeed solved in the last century.
In fact, I am wearing cheap jeans now!
