I wonder if it would be cheaper for NASA to outsource some of their experiments to the Russian agency?
Really, I can think of a lot of cool experiments for the serious scientist. Things like insect eggs in space, effect of zero-G on seeds, that kind of thing
Unless you have a good reason to upgrade, why bother? If this is for a business, and you have no good reason, you have nothing to gain and something (time to upgrade, etc) to lose.
I'm *not* bashing Apache, which is a damn fine product - but we need to get this 'irrational urge to upgrade' out of our heads.
Future artists are advised to take a look at This Site for direction...
Enjoy.

With digital cameras at regular stores with resolution over 5 megapixel it makes you wonder why it took so long to produce.
Speed. With a digital cameria, you have *one* picture containing 5 megapixels, and a little time to process / save it. With video, you need to constantly save those same images one after the other in realtime. Video encoding/compression must be done *very* quickly in realtime.
Maybe I didn't make my point properly. I Don't support the DMCA, or any laws stifiling innovation. I'm in favour of whatever system results in a higher standard of living for the people.
I think there's a fine line between a police state (that the RIAA et al want) and total anarchy (that the naive 13 year old slashbots want).
The biggest problem is apathy. It's in the government's interest that most people don't vote. This means fringe groups and companies with an agenda get more sway.
All the slashbots constantly whinge about how copywrite is wrong, patents are obsolete. Let's imagine a world where there is *no* IP. Making a living as a programmer is no longer viable. The whole field of software development will grind to a standstill.
Do you think patents stiffile inovation? Imagine a world where if you invent something really cool, all the major hardware companies will mass-produce cheap knockoffs within weeks. You have no incentive to design at all. Companies will grow ever larger.
IP might be a bad thing, but it's the lesser of 2 evils.
As an Australian, this is the first I've heard about police taking MP3 sharing seriously.
I truly doubt these guys will get more then a slap on the wrist, because here, you HAVE to prove damages. I can't see the ARIA (Australia's RIAA) getting away with a jail sentence. They'll try, but they will probably fail.

Geez - Am I really this old?
Yes, this is offtopic.
You are all dirty linux hippies! Esp Michael!
It's nice to see someone try to make it without the RIAA et al. I hope this kind of thing becomes more common.
People: Please support these guys even if you hate their music. If they turn a profit, other bands will follow suite.

Sorry, I meant This Site instead. The first link contains alot of crap.
'Webpages that suck' Shows that webpages CAN be art - bad art.

Damn right. Parallel Ports have more wires then firewire or USB, so my next external CD burner will be parallel for speed!
Once again, Slashdot has saved me time and money.
Thanks!
How can the first post be marked redundant? All I said was that T3 was gonna be a great movie. Well, from now on I'll shamelessly karmawhore:
