Wow, I hope googlebot doesn't see the tags people assign to the stories. Each and every story from "Wider Appeal" and newer is tagged "gay". Not that I have a problem with that, but, well, getting links to/. while searching for my daily gay porn dose would be quite disturbing.
Yeah I agree it's not SCOTUS' job to punish politicians for treason, but I can't agree that accountability should only come from elections. That would mean then the worst punishment a politician might get for violating the supreme law of the land is not being reelected, and as (not only) recent history showed, even this isn't doesn't happen most of the time.
I'm offended* by you referring to me as Digg-er! I just check digg once a day to see what I'm not missing by hanging out mainly on/., and to fart in their general direction.
I noticed this story on digg earlier today, but I'll comment here instead.
As much as I hate DRM, this whole comparison & conclusion is bullshit. They compare DRM'd WMA and AAC to MP3. From what I've noticed from using my underclocked pda, MP3 is much less processor intensive then (warezed, DRM-free) WMAs at the same bitrate. Even if you don't believe me (and I can't be bothered to look for sources), this is still a possibility they didn't address.
>Yes, exactly. They tested it against a chip which is not listed as being as fast, overclocked so they can pretend it is as fast. Big surprise it didn't perform as well
What do you mean 'is not listed as being as fast'?? FX-60 is AMD's fastest desktop dual-core processor, what do you expect them to do, send ninjas to steal AMD's engineering samples?
AAC might be part of the MPEG4 standard, but most portable players I know of don't support it. My Zen jukebox, friend's flash iRiver (and looks like other, newer iRivers), and most* others don't support AAC. It might become more common in the future, but for now I'd like to not be locked in to buying an pi^H^H** iPod.
* Actually I don't remember a single player w/ AAC, but some/.ter might just dig one up. ** Censored to avoid Apple fanboy flame
Including (child) porn, libel, advertising, copyright, trademark, decency, campaign financing bullshit or any other laws regarding speech. Because, after all, Bush ~ Hitler.
This makes me want to come over and punch him... nah, I'll just wait till he goes hunting with Dick. What makes him think that his ideas of what to censor are any better that those of the Chinese government?
>Seriously though, isn't it amazing how readily available flags of Nordic Countries seems to be down there?
Capitalism saves the day for outraged fundies!
When entrepreneur Ahmed Abu Dayya first heard that Danish caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad were being reprinted across Europe, he knew exactly what his customers in Gaza would want: flags to burn.Reuters
> I have heard a rumor that a US firmware (as opposed to EU) will give it more volume (apparently the EU has a law that forces output to be capped at a *safe* level)
My Zen jukebox came with EU firmware, and yes, the output was noticeably limited so I could barely hear anything with my headphones. Flashed it to the US version, and now there's enough volume for a small room:)
Finally, he sounds serious this time, so it's probably almost ready. They just need to solve some minor issues and testing. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy!

I'm sure that's just George's way of making fun of people. Next thing we'll hear about it is that all this was a rumor and the game will be out When It's Done.

How is that possible? I always thought those pigcops were actually mutated ponies, and not ehm... pigs.
I'd use it to give myself a stranger...

Watercooling doesn't require you to wait for anything to cool down.

No, what VMWare does is not emulation. For an example of how emulation works, have a look at Bochs.
I, for one, welcome our new Super Robot Destroyer Machine overlords!
Well, they don't call this month Febturday for nothing.

Less practical, but infinitely more satisfying.
What do you mean "less practical"? I'd say that by knocking down the church, you'd increase the area's average "practical" rate by quite a bit!
Gold Metal? That's probably how the kids these days refer to the NWOBHM.
I know it's an ancient version, but I just tried it under VMWare in Safari 2.0 (412) and it only launches Quicktime. Well I guess that's bad enough.

Nope, you're not the only one. For example, these people seem to agree with you.

I bet it has less space than a Nomad, too!

You want Profit Muham-mad with a bomb in his turban? T-shirts availible here!
You've got to be fucking kidding. The (US) constitution only gives certain privileges to the (US) government, nothing else.
>Yes, a publicly traded company has an obligation to the shareholders, but that obligation does not take priority over other laws
Any questions? Obeying the laws seems to be exactly what they are doing.
