Oh yeah, that's still factored into the balance sheets governing the RIAA sanctioned distribution channels.
I figure that covers whatever potential losses I incur them when I pirate a song or two from one of their representative labels that I don't already own.
So they can go suck my fucking nuts.
OTH, if it was a song from a band struggling on CDBaby.com or some shit, I'd feel pretty bad about it unless they gave express permission to distribute.
Linux has a long way to go to replace all of the midframe support that AIX has, even with IBM's help. Plus it would be bad business to cut off all your long term customers.
They will probably push Linux for new, distributed operations, using small-mid size equipment, and on VMs running on partitioned machines to provide a widely understood API.
It's just video in the standard duh-duh format, replacing the right audio channel. It's uncompressed, and the screen is 80x80, so there's only so many combinations of fps, bit depth to choose from. I wouldn't call it a standard, it isn't really encoded at all. The bitmap data is just, kinda there, like PCM audio.
They don't list an extraction step, but I assume it's CDDA. The mysterious packets in the audio track "left channel" might be used to help that extraction process on a cheap playback device, or provide error correction information that would normally be present in a Yellow Book format.
I don't think there's any standard out there for cramming video in an audio channel in a strange packeting format with a hack to read timing information out of the other channel. These seem like very hardware-oriented, cost based design decisions.
... as open source drivers are non-existant. As far as video cards are concerned, your best bets are NVidia and Matrox. You can get linux support for the card however in two ways. First of all, use the VESA video driver in X11 instead of the Radeon driver. (change the driver line in/etc/X11/XF86Config to "vesa" from "radeon") This is a good stopgap measure, but it lacks support for the full set of features.
The second method is to use the binary drivers from Schneider-Digital.
To provide maximum compatibility, the driver is built partially from source. So you must follow these instructions in order to successfully install it. It shouldn't be too difficult as you have a recent version of Mandrake, so your kernel should be already ready to go, without need of patches. If you get stuck, this fellow has written a mini-HOWTO to help you along.
You aren't on your own... you have Slashdot!
Now stop repeat-posting your bitching and GET TO WORK, oh, and we would appreciate another mini-HOWTO documenting your effort so we have another model to work from, and we can learn from your mistakes. Your slashdot journal will suffice if you don't want to weaken the theme on your webpage. Thanks.;-)
is that they didn't tell anyone there'd be a Final Fantasy-X2. So you spend the whole game sort of getting the introduction to a different game. No wonder it feels so empty (yet you can do all this seemingly pointless stuff near the end to power up).
Square-Enix needs to (suprise!) think smaller.
Their previous games were much more satisfying and entertaining (maybe not as pretty, but meh)
why not extend the support to support encrypted or signed sessions in the XML container format they use for native OO documents?
That would be wicked cool, and it shouldn't be too much of a stretch. I can imagine a special "formatting" or style that applies to a protected section such that if you attempt to cut/paste within the document, or you try to save in a different format that doesn't support encryption, it would give you a warning. You can piggyback onto how it handles style attributes in the interface.
There haven't been too many, (check SecurityFocus) which is good, plus it gives you a reason to have a little healthy zeal. And it makes it all the more important to not ignore potential problems.
And it's not like we shun Konqueror or Opera here or anything, you know?
With a lot of upfront planning, the right database, SSL, page generation and CGI libraries, you might be able to hack it at 1000 lines of C code.
But it ain't going to be pretty, and it sure as hell ain't going to be maintainable, or easily upgradable with future needs.
1000 lines is too little space to be flexible enough in your C/C++ coding to make it manageable or extensible. It's barely enough room for logic, dispatch, and page display. You'd have to limit yourself to giving a "magic token" to a person who completes the sale which lets them know how to get in contact with each other out of band to make the swap, or offload that to Paypal.
There's nothing wrong with a pro-Mozilla bias. It IS the shiznits. I've got it running amicibily on all our disparate platforms.
And google is definitely not nerd news, just news that happens to appear prominently on the Internet. There's a weak correlation there, but it's not systemic or intentional.
that the American bastardized usage is any less useful as an alternative to "makes one wonder", especially since it is even catching on across the pond.
Frankly, it's a slippery slope. First you use begging the question to discount your opponent's argument, accusing them of skirting the issue. Then the person with a weaker position uses it against you, implanting a "glossed over" proposition which is NOT in dispute, but attempting to make you look like you ignored it, or getting someone less ignorant watching a debate to side with you.
Eventually you use it to throw out onto the table any old idea that you think might have been ignored, asking a hard question, or using it deftly to change the subject.
It got that way not because of people picking up it's usage incorrectly, but by loosening the confines in which it is used to better suit poor argumenters looking for semantic wins, not factual wins.
Eventually enough people hear it being used to twist things around, and it gets it's flabby repurposing.
I'll still use it in it's original form, as it still reads correctly to an unlearned reader. They'll always be thinking to themselves, ahh, but I already know the answer to that issue, and I'll always leave a sentence in there to let them know they're right. But don't feel you have to correct anyone, that begs the question if they care since no one else is expecting them to use these technical english thingies good either.
It is amazing how difficult it is to form an intelligent response to this article.
I can understand slashdot's collective interest in all things Segway, but I think at this point there's probably nothing more that can be said about the subject.
I see this as a parallel to a prophetic article in which the Hurd is used to power the next Furby, thus sounding the death knell for both technologies.
Furby = nearly dead retired clown, and Segway = The Hurd, in case you didn't get my analogy.
It's an interesting technology looking for a market that doesn't exist. People in densely packed cities are doing just fine with inexpensive bikes. Americans like their cars. The Segway is the butt of a lot of unfunny jokes, and publicity stunts like this.
I predict that someone below this post will undoubtedly compare this to George Bush's run-in with the Segway, claiming he is less intelligent than a clown, and less fit to run the country.
Go at it slashdot. You'll only find +1 Funny posts here.
I wish our government would pay us to work and develop an OS that doesn't look like swiss cheese.
ps the software you hawk on your website is retarded. Nobody wants to be insulted by a puppy for playing checkers poorly. I wish some Asian would make a better one running off a tamagochi or some shit.

"hey, why dont we pay some talented dev houses to create some good exclusive titles?"
Which is why they bought Rare and Shiny Entertainment.
Oh yeah, there was all that encryption they broke and huge warnings on the screen when they inserted a disc.
I hope you just created that account to post this bullshit.

But seriously, have you ever really tried to write a CGI in C that wasn't for a single, simple purpose?

1) "La vie en rose" is a throwback to her fantasy-world vision of herself at Gamers
or 2) "La vie en rose" is the name of a competitor to Victoria's Secret.
Or is it both (or all 3!!!)
I think all 3.
It's like, why is Trinity called Trinity?
1) Christian symbolism in movie.
2) Name of actual hacker in real life.
3) Name of infamous nuclear testing site has ominous ring to it.
Finally, why is my name pr0ntab!?!?! I'll leave that one to you.
it sounded a little too much like Verity at times (use of many parantheses when italics would be expected in a real Nigerian scam letter).
I did like the junk-mail filter throwoff line at the end, however. classic!
