If you know you have the original files, the file with the oldest date has the best quality. Else, go by file size first, and break ties using the oldest date as the winner.
Once as a network admin I mirrored the data drive on a NetWare server to a new blank disk for redundancy. Except I mirrored them backwards, which NetWare had no problem letting you do. I realized my mistake, and fortunately the changes (not undo-able, I forget why) did not take effect until a reboot, which meant that I had to make a backup of the data NOW while it was still available. I spent the rest of night restoring the data to the new blank drives, and noone was the wiser in morning. Well, except me.
The other time, I came home from vacation to find my main desktop drive seized. Because I do nightly file copies to a spare drive on the same machine, I lost no data.
So, whether planned or unplanned, backups are good!
It is neither, rather, it is a subjective process, since a note or chord played on one part of the neck that is in tune may be out of tune on another part of the neck. So, the player must decide where they want things to be most in tune, or split the difference
Either the guitar is in tune, or it's not.
A nice thought, but not true unless you are using samples that are always in tune. Things that affect tuning include: the angle the player is holding the instrument at, changes in temperature, humidity, how hard it is initally plucked, how clean the string is, etc. And those are all on an OPEN string. When you fret it, many more factors come into play.
If it's not, it sounds wrong. An out of tune guitar sounds bad, period.
This is a subjective judgement stated as fact. There are many things not "in tune" that sound good to many people. For instance, the sound of their own voice;)

I tried to see if www.sco.com was DOSsed, but I was unable to load the site. Can someone please tell me?

I have seen MySQL programmers do massively inefficient (and stupid) things like retrieve a list of keys from one table, store them in an in-memory array, then loop through the array executing a select for each key in another table - because they didn't know about subselects.
And I have seen Oracle programmers cursor through data and/or use sub-selects, because they don't have a good understanding of what you can do with JOIN or GROUP BY.
The point is that all invocations of SQL have their idiosynracies/extensions, and getting to know them is part of the game. MySQL is as good a place to start as any. There is no right answer here.
Check out how they rename Solo to Rude Solo on their mixers, for its annoyance quotient. (For the non-audio types, that is what you need from a solo inidicator).
The manual that came with my mixer is the best I have read, funny great layout, comprehensive, yet exellent Quick Start sections.
I own an AIW RADEON, and the drivers/utils were absolutely maddening, on *any* version of Windows. And this is on a card that I payed over CDN $400 for.
Untold person-years were spent by many people in forums trying to figure out what worked best with which driver. Answer? Nothing.
Not everyone will be willing to do this of course, but I got around our company's strict proxy server (that only allowed http over port 80 and ftp over port 21) by using Remotely Anywhere in HTTP tunneling mode. I am not sure if there are other products that will do this, but I tried 3 or 4 others before I found one that worked.
...I have a program I wrote recently that parses the Slashdot XML (http://slashdot.org/slashdot.xml) and displays the headers. I just noticed that the XML page is out of date compared to the home page. This didn't use to be the case...
They are currently separated by 8 hours, something tells me there is a cron job not running anymore.
It has been a week since I have requested my domain transfer from my current provider to Pair networks. I submitted a template for the change generated by Pair. Network Solutions sent an auto-reply that they received my request, but nothing has happened since. Both Pair and Network Solutions have ignored my e-mails regarding this, which I sent several days ago. This is a frustrating experience.
and anything else by him. Chocky is great for a child as the protagonist is a child contacted by an alien...
An interesting side note is that this book taught me to count in binary (the alien teaches the kid). It is explained in a very simple way; by the time this topic came up in math class, I had it under my belt.
Lots of people are recommending Neuromancer, etc. I would shy away from such high-tech stuff and recommend some of the classics from Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. This is highly imaginative writing that by its very removal from the technology of today is more conducive to creating a fantastical other-world.

Tuning is a science, not an art.

KVCD
There is a surprising range of quantity AND quality provided by this tweak of MPEG1 (and MPEG2 if you wish).
There are some samples here. Burn as non-standard VCD in Nero and try them out on your DVD player.
Being a long-time contract developer has its benefits - but company perks ain't one of them!
