I skipped that class... it was an illogical use of my time. OR operators aside, may or may not would indicate to me that it hasn't been determined yet. But I get your point - and your question is more valid than I gave you credit for.
At a minimum, it's usually in violation of the agreement on the back of the ticket. Unless of course you go to a taper friendly show like DMB or Phish. Interesting side note - taping shows and trading became popular after the Grateful Dead allowed it - they even set up a taper area at the shows where you could set up your equipment or even plug into the soundboard. Jerry Garcia got the idea from Bluegrass concerts he used to attend and tape at the Grand Ol' Opry - if I remember correctly, they had banks of jacks where you could just plug your recorder in to tape the show. His philosophy was that once they played the concert, it wasn't theirs anymore - they had given it to the audience. As long as you weren't selling the music, you could copy and distribute it all you wanted.
Come on, you didn't even have to RTFA to answer that... "After the show, concert-goers visit an on-site kiosk and purchase a 128MB keydrive (which may or may not be proprietary to the system). "
Just use the oldest CD you have for the flavor of Windows you want to install, and plug in a cable or DSL modem. You'll have more than 10 apps installed in no time without lifting a finger!
So, by that logic, is it ok for me to illegally hijack the expedia.com domain and make millions from it because there's no shortage of travel sites? Have you been too busy looking at pr0n to realize that Network Solutions handed over this multi-million dollar domain name without verifying the authenticity of the request? The victim (yeah, you heard me) will likely never see a dime of the $65 million settlement against the guy who stole it - shouldn't he have some recourse against the company that handed him the keys?
I'm glad I stocked up on duct tape after they told us too. I have plenty to seal off my NICs.
Apparently terrorist.net's router has already been attacked.
"Watson, who runs the www.terrorist.net Web site, predicted that hackers will understand how to begin launching attacks 'within five minutes of walking out of that meeting.'"
He went on to say that you can expect to see the first Spam offering a software patch for $19.95 within 60 seconds of walking out of that meeting.
Try explaining that to your insurance company when you get a quote on a Red Corvette Convertable with an automatic transmission. I agree with you in principle, but I don't think you can really classify a car soley by what type of transmission it has. Especially without defining what you consider to be "automatic". Is it the lack of a clutch, or is it not having to select more than one "gear" for forward? What about Auto-Sticks? Paddle-shifters? "Automatic" racing transmissions? On the other hand, what about the BMW M5? Does the fact that it was only available with a manual transmission make it a sports car, or is it disqualified from that class by it's 4 doors and seating for 5?
Maybe the first SFF, but I remember seeing a PCI card available in some catalog somewhere that would allow you to do this with any PC. Anyone remember the name of that one?
Well, I'll admit I was inside when I read about this weeks ago from 2 or 3 other sources, not that that means it isn't a scam. But the discussion were having in this thread is about the implications being more profound than making quieter PC's, not the validity of the story. Maybe we should use extra tags for the AC's?
LOL- Thanks for saving me some typing- my thoughts exactly. Someone needs to turn off the computer and get outside, or at least turn on the news. Sheesh! Oh yeah- and don't forget the whole dependence on foreign oil thing!
Seriously, 80% less power consumption is going to shave one heck of a lot of battery weight off a 100% electric car, or give the hybrids way better mileage. Hell, it might even bring us a little closer to solar powered vehicles.
Gazziza Dilznoofus! Get with the crezappy power of Wiznitch OS... Wiznitch got tha upstate prison flavor that keeps you ugly all night long. So when you wanna get sick remember, nothing makes yo' feet stank like Wiznitch OS... DAMN! It's crezappy!!!"
I think you may be missing the point. The posts aren't supposed to be the funny part - it's the fact that people actually submitted these that IMHO is hillarious.
Maybe it's not a real good fit for April Fools, but I think it's as good a time as any, and I for one enjoy the opportunity to look at some of the submissions that we otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity to.
If you honestly have that much of a problem with it, take a day off from/. - I'm sure you'll survive.
Egad - there are a million devices of which you speak. The simplest of which might be any old programmable multi-button mouse.
But personally, I think this has great potential for presentations, without disrupting them - especially if you could control the commands used to advance each slide. For example, if you could program the transition to a sales figures slide to be triggered by the words "sales figures for 2002", then it would automatically pull up the right slide when you say "Now let's look at the sales figures for 2002". Properly scripted, it could be pretty slick.
I once got paid good money just to launch PowerPoint presentations and click the "next" button all day. These people might have been ok with running the presentations by voice - but a two button device connected to a computer (wired or otherwise) was too intimidating.
Yeah, where do they get the "threat" when the article contains the quote: "NFC won't replace Bluetooth or infrared. This is a new paradigm based on touching, and it will complement these existing wireless technologies," a NFC spokesman explained.
To the guy that said $60 was "pricey", don't bother reading this. Vegas is expensive. But if you compare the prices of "consumer" MiniDV cameras at around $500 or less, to "prosumer" ones in the thousands, anything under $1000 for DVD authoring should be considered a bargain (IMHO).
Check out this review. Now sold by Sony Pictures Digital Media Software, it's originally by Sonic Foundry, makers of some seriously kick-butt audio software. It's under $600, or about $800 if you get the version with the Dolby Certified AC-3 Encoder. Definitely worth checking out.
Now before you all flame me, he did say "prosumer" and that he would consider Windows software. Given those two consideration, I chose to ignore the cost factor:-) But seriously, for what you get, this is an incredible deal, as far as I'm conscerned. And if you're a student, check out Pricewatch for some great Academic version pricing. Even if you had to go with an older version, I'd recommend it.
Buy a cheap portable audio CD player, a mini 1/8" Stereo male/male cable (asuming you don't have these items already), and rip it through the audio in on your sound card. I don't imagine that you'll notice that much loss in quality assuming you adjust the levels properly and considering the degradation of the inherent in the mp3 format.
Or, go to your local embassy and see if they'll let you borrow some bandwidth for downloading... you'll be on "US Soil".;-)
Within reason, yes. The rare occasions where our daughter watches TV without us, I don't worry because I've locked out the channels and shows she shouldn't watch. But when you talk about Howard Sterns, or down here, "Bubba the Love Sponge (also just fired)", don't forget these pillars of society whose "free speech" you want to protect are on the public airwaves. As "responsible" parents, should we be forced to take away her Bratz Limo with the built-in FM radio because of the filth these lowlifes spew forth on the airwaves?
Should I have to avoid using the Seek or Scan buttons on the radio in my car in order to avoid hearing about blowjobs and anal sex while driving a 9 year old to school? If that's free speech, maybe I should vote for Bush. Ok, sorry, that was low:-) But seriously, the "within reason" part of free speech has been stretched way, way too far for my taste - even before my wife and I were treated to that wonderful family fun-time show during half-time with our daughter. "Gonna have you naked on this stage" - I don't care if the "wardrobe malfunction" never happened, that was inappropriate for much of the audience.
But it's like Spam - you can blame the spammers all you want, but the real problem is the people who buy their crap. Howard Stearns wouldn't be exercising his right to free speech anywhere if there weren't a ton of people listening.

Dude, You don't mind if I take out an insurance policy on you for being killed my a meteorite, do you? I feel an ironic smackdown in the works :-)

Yeah, I think it would be cheaper to just buy everyone a GPS-enabled cell phone and call it a day. :-)
