So, in light of this definition, how would AMD fit as yin anything? The popular notion of yin and yang is simply that of opposites, which loosely gets applied to any competitors, which is incorrect.
Assuming an average 12 songs per CD, and $16 per CD, 7500 songs would cost a cool $10G.
On the other hand, assuming that the 7500 songs you bother to keep on your Ipod are "keepers" and that only 3 songs per CD (actually a high estimate) are keepers...
Ah, crap what am I doing. This is like one of those "A train leaves Chicago at 50mph" problems...
I suspect much of it is written on company time, on the sneak, the QT... at least partly.
Assuming, of course, they're employed.
The one thing that has bothered me about OSS (I like the concept, don't get me wrong) is that writing software for free might be a coder pride thing, but folks, vanity don't pay the rent or the groceries.
Unless you're independently wealthy, you have to be doing something to pay for the pork and beans.
I saw one guy selling information about how to buy a new Ipod for $50. But if you weren't observant, you'd think he was selling an Ipod for that price.
Sadly, there were 6 bids, and it was already up to $65. I don't know who to blame more: the scumbag pulling this shit, or the dimbulbs bidding on it.

But the guy I hired to put in tile, who admitted he is not tech savvy, was befuddled by it.
To him, 1 and 0 are not obviously on and off.
So maybe I should patent using 1-0 on on/off switches. Betcha no prior art.
Like Tivo has a 30 minute loop to pause live TV.
Have to admit though, that would have been handy. No more catching a show just a couple minutes late.
And I have never copied it. Never will.
Obviously, Intuit has decided, for now, that the cure (DRM) is worse than the disease (piracy).
The net effect is to prevent me from buying it in the first place. Hell, I wouldn't take it for free.
So their nice little product will sit safely on the store shelf, gathering dust, but by God safe from piracy.
So their choice is, eat whatever losses they will inevitably have to piracy, or lose most of their customer base.
When somebody asked him how he can make a living like that, he replied:
"Volume!"
Pre-emptive military strikes.
Their "shock and awe" campaign, consisting of paper match rockets and spitballs, will commence in 48 hours.
Uninstall Linux now. You have been warned!
(BTW, but methinks I smell Microsoft behind this somewhere...)
Talk about falling on your own sword. Imagine suing your customers for buying one of your products.
Is there a Darwin Awards just for really fatally boneheaded corporate maneuvers?
Each of these SCO executives should be slapped in the face with a wet fish.
Some, maybe alot, are sincere. The rest put "Jedi" because there's no checkmark for "bugger off".
Now that... I'll buy! I wonder how much it'd hold?
How exactly is AMD "yin" to Intel's "yang" ?
Yin and yang can mean a variety of things, for instance,
Yang:
light
male/masculine
aggressive
forceful
powerful
Yin:
dark/shadowed
female/feminine
passive
yielding

Madonna and others place bogus mp3 files out there, just to make it harder to find real mp3's...
And now we're going to put bogus mp3 files out there, to make it harder for the RIAA to find real mp3's (and up their noise to signal ratio)...
i like it, i like it!
Heck, there's probably already a prog for this, but I'm just too lazy to keep up.
Name one type of entertainment you can't get at any time of day. News, cartoons, drama, movies (even porn) are on-tap 24/7.
Hell, the only the reason the big networks still do "news-at-six" is tradition.
Hmmm... I'm trying to think of how the wheel was first used for pr0n.
RIAA is a big cowardly bully. Why don't they pick on somebody their own size? (Cause they'd get their ass kicked.)
Quoth here many times: just BOYCOTT all CD's published by any RIAA members. Hurt them bad.
And I used to laugh (not in their presence at least) at people (What's a mouse? Is this a cupholder?) who said they "had the Internet on their PC."
*snort* The whole> Internet?
We export our corporate influence, our DMCA-clone laws, and now our taxes too? It would be hard to deny the existence of the American Imperium.
Seems that too often we treat problems with international scope, as if they were only national.
Bet you don't know that the Federal income tax was once only supposed to affect the "wealthy." And was "voluntary."
Nuh-uh. Spam is bad, but it aint THAT bad.
1) Killer of the Handheld, or... 2) The Killer which IS handheld.
Hmmm...
Heck, I was still an FPS virgin.
On the other hand, assuming that the 7500 songs you bother to keep on your Ipod are "keepers" and that only 3 songs per CD (actually a high estimate) are keepers...

Must really be bored.
as the most expensive letter ever Returned to Sender.
(thank you, thank you very much)

At risk of being modded redundant, but I had to do it!
