The Open Park Project (Open Park) is a new Washington D.C. non-profit organization founded to bring wireless Internet access to the public and the museum community on the National Mall.
Internet backhaul services for Open Park are provided by DCAccess, Capitol Hill's first Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP).
This is some random group of geeks who are providing a great service to everyone in Washington
Palisade's version of the technology sits inside a network, rather than inside a file-swapping program. If installed in a university, for example, it could look inside students' emails, instant messages and peer-to-peer transfers, seeking audio "fingerprints" that could be compared with information in Audible Magic's database.
If I send my friend an mp3 of me playing some music how can it tell that from me sending a copyrighted work? Is it reading the 'finger print' and then checking byte by byte? Isn't that going to kill traffic...
But couldn't it be beaten by adding one extra byte to the file? Sending in another format?
It enables you to start, stop, play, pause and change the video stream. It does seem a little pointless to me unless you are unable to run more than the video cable from the computer to the TV. This will allow the user to control their computer from the living room. So basically it will transmit the sound wirelessly, control the computer, but still requires the video to be on a wire.
Audio formats:
* PCM (AIFF, WAV)
o Supports raw pass-through of uncompressed audio
o Sample rates: 32, 44.1 (CD), and 48Khz (DAT)
o Configurable sample rate, byte order, channels
* MP3, MP2:
o Built-in decoding for all MP3/MP2 formats
o Supports all MP3 data rates, including VBR
o Supports all MP3 sample rates
* AAC, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis
o Supported through server-side decoding
o May be streamed in PCM (raw) or MP3 (transcoded) format
"Still, it was another eBay user's warning that saved Marianne Houkom. Ms. Houkom, 55, who lives in Newton, Kan., received an e-mail message from Mr. Seiden warning her that the espresso machine she was bidding on did not exist. She said she was horrified, and then relieved when someone outbid her."
1. Email Ms. Houkom about having a fake item
2. Outbid her by $.50
3. Repeat 1-2 until winning bid is yours
4. Have a victory espresso from your brand new espresso machine
Now that HP will have an AAC player, and AOL and HP are using iTMS, it looks like Microsoft's arguments against AAC (ie, no choice in players or sellers) has disappeared faster than pizza left in Cowboi Kneal's cubicle.
Except for the fact that iTunes is still the only way to get them. WMA is supported by Napster, Microsoft and Dell (I believe Walmart too)
If you live in the United States visit http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ The Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Everything you need to know on how to get cash from the Federal Government is there.
Tom's Hardware only put up an anti-slash page. Go to Tom's Hardware Click on the news article about networking or even open in a new window and it works.
With that out of the way, honestly how much networking stuff is there to cover? I seriously doubt they needed to get a new domain for this. All they can review are routers, hubs, switches, WAP, and network cards, nothing nearly as interesting as mobos, processors, or video cards.
Except for the fact that MP3 isn't a free codex, someone owns it and profits when MP3 devices are created. So what happens if Fraunhofer Gesellschaft or some of the other groups decide to enforce their patents on the MPEG-2 format? You might also end up locked with MP3. Try something open source and then you will truly be free.

Two words:
Why not?
Like it or not the government wants control and will find lame reasons to do it.
(Type) (Type) (Type) AH! '24.214.21.1' he is only 22, he will be some easy money!
And then since they know what song it is go buy the cd (from a used record store)

Makes sense to me, put more non-violent criminals in jail....

Not too bad

Sounds like someone believes all of the emails he gets...
She has to be a geek if she is browsing /.

For them to use the title "Best Albums of 2003" they should have tested every single album released in 2003, every RIAA, every independent...
Now come on the RIAA put out way more crap than that this year!
Now they are going to have a huge flow of traffic that is going to screw up their database again...
If this website is all Opt-In Email Addresses how did they get my address and how do I Opt-Out now?
This is where it hurts them the most: (From the front page on thier site)
