But it would be necessary for me to have it so that you can download the same song multiple times after you buy it. If the file accidentaly gets deleted or whatnot, I wouldn't want to have to pay for the same file again.
From the site: Once payment is verified the mp3 albums you have purchased will be added to your Rockbox. From your Rockbox you can download tracks from the MP3 albums you have purchased. The MP3 albums will remain in your Rockbox ready for your personal use at any time, should you ever need to download them again.
mySQL is NOT a replacement for Access. Access is like a front-end. It uses ODBC connections as much as anything.
Access is to ODBC as phpMyAdmin is to mySQL. Sort of (I know I'm way off, but still...).
What we need is an application capable of doing what Access is doing - but using mySQL or another database for back-end. Templates and macros are things people use at my office - they hate it, but it gets the job done ( it sometimes^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Halways^H^H^H^H^H^Husual ly crashes and leaves the file locked, making me wanna bash some server's a$$... Stupid thing;) ).
Actually, yes. Let me just get my brother who bothers to know that stuff by heart (myself, I believe in the power of Google - only God and Google should be spelled with capital letters in Swedish; English requires me to spell continents, languages and such with capital letters as well).
He also knows where to find all the other countries in the world worth knowing where they are.
If you'd ask him where the colonies and borders lay in Africa during the 18th and 19th cewntury, he'd know that as well.
Europe's time has passed. The 'in' thing is the United States. Only dumb asses would avoid the U.S.. Then most of Europe would be dumb-asses. We try to avoid the US as much as possible. Arrogant bastards.

Actually, my Panda Antivirus (don't ask, I'm at work) detected the file as virus at an instant, I didn't even finish downloading it and still it rejected it.
Most programs scanning zip files would probably be best off to check the contents of the file before extracting anything. One look at the index and it sees an.exe and the file should be rejected. Simple as that.
Google is used to gain access to overloaded articles, and bittorrent for serving cool files.
Too bad Google doesn't keep.torrent's cached for when the server goes down because of excessive slashdotting.
Then again, I'm not certain it doesn't cache them - and if the server handing out.torrent's dies, it'd probably be better if the tracker wasn't stressed too much unless he too wanted to be a casualty of war/slashdot/whatever.

Yeah... And me seeing 0 of 1 comments and thought maybe I could put up a gigabit mirror (should've lasted at leats 5 minutes, though it's shared and my ISP would hate me).
I'm no lawyer or US resident, but I think it might have to do with legislation in the areas. Some places regulate contests, you know (void where prohibited - but listing the states explicitly).
No, they can't. For if they do, the overwhelming power of slashdot would tear their bandwidth apart.
They could however split the article into 25 pages to reduce load (no trolls - or other for that matter - would want to RTFA if it involved clicking multiple links).
Specifying a minimum font size is very good. Also, it's a pain in the a** to use load a pdf when the only contents of it was some product specs and a picture.
PDF and (more importantly) Flash is totally overrated. They're what stopped innovation. Tabbed browsing, css support and Mouse Gestures (!!!) are features that brought browsing to the next level. Flash just stopped designing nice pages in html that scaled well back to a text-based browser. Proper HTML is viewed well in Lynx, whereas a pdf/swf is not.
Yes, I've configured a kernel many a time before, but with no reasonable configuration to start out with, the process it quite teedious, and I had to do it about 3 times before I saw every option I needed to find, and selected it properly.
You're probably not alone in thinking compiling a kernel is hard, but w/ the help of the installation instructions, it wasn't so hard. I, a Windows for 10+ years was able to pull off a perfect kernel, with graphics, network, sound and RAID.
This was the first time I was installing Linux. I hardly even knew what to expect of it, but I installed it, followed the instructions, replaced faulty hardware (couldn't compile w/ a piece of burnt-out RAM).
Still... Yes, Linux is hard to use for the average user, but for someone who likes computers (like me), installing Gentoo is worth it because you are able to customize it as you want.
TV-capture in Gentoo is something I haven't tried, but I'm guessing it to be as easy as: me@computer # emerge myth-tv
I see that the Pocket PC will be named Windows Mobile. It seems they want to use another brand, possibly to increase the wide-spread usage of the word 'Windows', but why? I for one have always thought PocketPC as something that is LESS Microsoft, which is a Good Thing (TM). I would never buy a copy of Windows XP while I could consider buying a PocketPC (but not a Windows Mobile)...
Other than uncompressed HDTV (1928x1080@29.97, 4:2:2 = 124MB/s), what applications need higher than 133MB/sec?
NIC - If you think of ISP's etc, they WILL need high bandwidth. Also, think special-purpose hardware such as help-CPU's, harware-based compression etc.
Some GFX cards might wanna cache more than just the data to output, and load resources faster. (In the future a screen resolution higher than 1928x1080 will be standard, I think). You may also want to have multiple displays.
So, how many of the reasonable applications are really mainstream enough for all PCs to go through the process?
If you read the article, Longhorn is thought to have PCI Express support. And we all `know it will be mainstream. Think 4 years from now, think OEM's.
In the past, they have implemented crazy internet laws (such as making it illegal to write the name of any person on your web page without a written permission) before anyone else.
Actually, the PUL isn't an internet law. It applies to every part of Swedish citizens normal life (such as if your name/phone number/photo may be published in school papers etc.)... Also it applies to some forms of collecting personal data in a database. It's a really cool law, in some ways.
I'm assuming we (the Swedes) will still be able to download copyrighted material from the internet.
I mean, companies like Opera don't put their product on the web for nothing. It is copyrighted, no doubt about it, but when they put it on their corporate website, that's opt-in according to me.
If you want to be entirely certain that anyone can download it, specify that when you link it (i.e. "The file you're about to download is copyrighted material - the author gives you the right to bla, bla, etc, bla").
Quote from http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/it/story/0,2789,3208 94,00.html "Dagens hantering av kopior, som de populÃra P-2-P-programmen, till exempel Kazaa bygger pÃ¥, blir helt fÃrbjuden."
It's a stupid sentence even for a Swede, but roughly translated it means: "Today's management of copies, that the popular P2P-programs, among them Kazaa build upon, become completely illegal."

Also, according to the article, your rights to copying a CD will be more restricted, but good enough for me to accept. (Before it said 'some copies for personal use', now it becomes 'a few'). What annoys me is that while we are allowed to backup CD's, we won't be able to do the same for DVD's - as DVD's contain CSS encryption.
Also, I'm guessing that importing DVD-R's will become quite popular, as they cost just above $1 in Sweden at the moment. An increase in price to 500% is ridiculous.
If you send or receive illegal copies on the internet, you will only be fined. If you participate in '[internet] traffic of organized form', you might look at a 2-year sentence.
(Personal note: I love how aftonbladet.se uses an easy language in their articles, saying that in P2P software, you share each other's HDD's )
These are actually more than the average spammer it seems to me (I don't get much spam, Sweden seems to be good to live in when it comes to spam - unless you have a company e-mail).
Some of these people committed fraud, and should rot in hell. Could only see one w/ explicit content though (quick scan). Adult spam should not be sent, and be dealt with swiftly. Think of the children - they're more important to protect.

I admit to having read those. I often do it when I don't have anything better to do. I've even read the WinXP EULA. Didn't get me any wiser.
I also remember one program that was God-sent:
( ) Accept
( ) Accept and read licence while installing
( ) Cancel
You had green and black?
You must've been one of the cooler kids, then. I had to play nibbles on yellow and black.
It probably was only yellow and no colour, though... That's one colour, and one no colour.

Personally, I'll be happy when portable phones get so cheap that everyone can carry one and run these COCOTs out of business...
Heh. Keep it as it is. This is way cool. [Or just add the line I can see the future]
The Win32 version has requirements: ...
450 MHz CPU
128 MB RAM (win2k/XP), 96MB (Win9x)
1.2 GB HDD (Minimum Install + OS etc.)
16 MB OpenGL 1.2 GFX
Note that NWN has had problems w/ ATI cards all from the start. I'd suggest using a GeForce 2 MX card and a 1 GHz CPU for fair performance.
$500? Didn't you hear that Photoshop is now part of the free software movement now?
Kazaa may be free software. That doesn't make Photoshop Free Software, it makes it pirated.
