Thanks for the concise well thought out rebuttal. This is the part I like about forum posts. I also see your point about anonymity.
Anyone can say anything. I don't necessarily want to limit speech, however, it just gets old reading some of the junk that people post.
I was really confused for a second until I realized you were calling the newspapers assholes instead of the assholes that they are trying to prevent cluttering up their comment boards.
I hate reading comments in most papers (and slashdot) where anonymous trolls spew the worst rhetoric just to get a rise out of people. (BTW, good job here, it worked on me) If your bitching about a one-time.99 cent fee, then you need to get off the internet because of the electricity cost.
I guess this explains OSX Server walking away from ZFS because of "license issues". Since Apple walked away in the 11th hour, I wonder if there is some real validity to NetApp's argument (at least legally).
I already use a Mac mini as my entertainment center. I hook it up to a digital projector and have an awesome home theater. The last thing I want is to limit the screen to 27". The small footprint is great for connecting to a current stereo system, big screen or projector.
I am just commenting on the fact that it is unfortunate we do not have this level of technical understanding of something we can see and effects our environment so closely. That whoosh sound over your head was my point.
I understand that this is important science, but what a weird gap in scientific knowledge when we are considering how to collapse a black hole when we can't stop the damn oil leak. Maybe we should get some of these guys involved.
I agree. I kept reading through suggestions for this format tool and that format tool and wonder if I just didn't understand the question. You should be able to dd off the partition table, remake the partition table with um...fdisk? or parted? and create a new fangled ext2 or ext3 filesystem?
From my understanding AllofMP3 ripped a CD and started selling the rip. They had no production costs associated with the disc. The record companies did have to put a lot of money into production, artist costs, studio costs, mastering costs. The sunk costs is usually calculated with the fixed costs added to the variable costs per unit produced. In this case, your claim is the variable costs are much less. However, you have to include the overhead costs no matter whether a digital download or vinyl LP.
I think that CDs are overpriced. But thinking the costs for a CD are close to 1.25 per unit is way off. Probably closer to 4.00. They also want to make SOME profit so they can stay in business. Mark up to $8 to get some profit. I always thought the $9.99 for an album on iTunes was fair. Charging $20 might be fair for a physical CD, but not a digital download.
Actually the Navy has been doing this for years. Harbor patrol using seals and dolphins has been around for a while. When I was in the Navy in 93' I wrote an article about it (Yep there are journalists in the military). I was unable to run the story though because they were afraid people might jump to conclusions and think they were strapping bombs to marine animals. The facilities for training the marine animals in San Diego ranked right up with SeaWorld (if not better).
I am not sure about the musical notation, but the tab is completely unplayable. Note the 12 12 12 AND the 2 nd string. Good luck making your fingers do that. Also, my guitar does not have 23 frets. And I especially cannot hit the 23rd fret while pressing down the 5th fret. WTF?
I love Perl for web programming. That is my primary language. It is the one interpretor that is on almost every system (awesome for those who sometimes live outside the windows and linux world). One perl module that I cannot live without is objToJson . http://linux.die.net/man/3/json
I have built web applications that attempt to mimic already established GUI applications. One of the biggest problems I face is trying to recreate the GUI experience with widgets that are not available. Take for instance a true combo-box. This is a widget that looks like a dropdown, but allows the user to type in the text field as well. In trying to recreate a simple widget that is available in GUI toolkits, I have to mix javascript with a traditional select input field along with changes to the css and div tags. It is a lot of code to perform a basic GUI functionality. If we are moving toward a world of web apps, then the html standard needs to provide GUI-like widgets. Displaying video natively is great, but I want all the different selectors, calendar widgets, etc. to be standard. Otherwise it is still a lot of code to perform smoke and mirror tricks to look like an application.
Blasphemy! I worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster you insensitive clod. Please offer the same respect of capitalization as you do those who worship Jerry Fallwell.

they should moderate their comments
And that won't cost the paper money?
not allow them at all
Nice solution there genius.

I hope their plan works and others follow suit.

Hax0r: Ha! I have windows source code!!! (10 mins later) Hax0r: Humm.. now what?
Snow day? Ha, here in SoCal just a rainy day is a major upset in our routines. Odd how you get used to some things.
Earthquakes = No problem.
Drizzle = OMG WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO!!!
Sounds a lot like old Pink Floyd. (pre-DSOTM)
I don't think the pages for "Draw Muhammad Day" is that big a deal. FarmTown, now THAT is a reason for execution.

I think companies should migrate back to windows 95. That way all the new fangled viruses and trojans won't work and you can feel safe again.
Big fan of the 90 minute. I agree, they do make a tasty beverage.

On the surface. Apparently he was a poor husband and neglectful father (It was in some documentary on PBS I saw years ago. Maybe Ken Burns.)
patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel
Especially when discussing the Patriot Act. Just saying.

No, I do NOT have a 23rd fret. However it is possible with a Bill Lewis guitar - http://www.gilmourish.com/?page_id=89

includes a new Turbo capability that can opportunistically raise the clock speed
Does this mean I can get my turbo button back on my computer?
Did you learn everything about politics and government from Schoolhouse Rock?
Well...... yes.
Let me fix this for you.
