  1. Design and function on Making a House That Will Last for Centuries? · · Score: 1

    One of the most interesting and useful resources for thoughts on living spaces is the work of Christopher Alexander. The website is helpful, but starting with the book "A Pattern Language" is better. http://www.patternlanguage.com/

  2. Re:C mp es ed M us c S cks on Apple to Launch Music Service? · · Score: 1

    Make that "inability."

  3. Re:C mp es ed M us c S cks on Apple to Launch Music Service? · · Score: 1

    Check yer manual, bunkie. iPods will store uncompressed audio. I own three of them. Hearing loss is permanent. The ability to listen need not be.

  4. C mp es ed M us c S cks on Apple to Launch Music Service? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Who in hell wants to pay a buck a pop for compressed/lossy audio? I don't get it.

  5. Re:That's nothing new... on Satellite Hackers Charged Under DMCA · · Score: 1

    The original work was the Communications Act of 1934. It was essentially replaced by the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

  6. Re:Just wondering... on Power Companies Offering Cable (TV, Net) Service · · Score: 5, Informative

    A dozen miles south of Boston, Braintree Electric http://www.beld.com has been providing power to my town for 100 years and started offering cable TV and high speed internet a few years ago. It's a town owned utility with a reputation for service reliability and low rates. Beld.net service has been excellent; it's easy to get the right person on the phone if you need to fix something, and you can go over and yell at them in person should the need ever arise -- it has not. AT&T Broadband is also available in town, and I don't know anyone who still uses it.

  7. Re:SliMP3 - different feature set, same idea on HomePod Brings Music from iTunes to the Living Room · · Score: 1

    An in-wall panel would be nice. ...so take it out of the case and build it into another box. Mine's going into the instrument panel of the car I bought last month -- Chrysler uses the same color display.
