Well DUH! If I was the soon-to-be CEO, I too would be spewing forth this BS as well. By setting the stage with optimism, you increase your chances of gaining investment...and justifing your job. As CEO, it's about generating a self fulfilling prophecy in the eyes of your share holders.
You mean like this? Here let me cut-n-paste from their website.
We started planning the station in 1999, and officially launched SomaFM.com in February 2000. Drone Zone was our first station, Groove Salad our second, Secret Agent our third. Over time we would add more channels... we were up to 11 channels when the DMCA CARP ruling came down and forced SomaFM to either pay $500 a day in royalties to the record companies or go off the air. We had no choice but to suspend our streams.
Between June 2002 and November 2002, Rusty learned a lot about politics. By enlisting SomaFM listeners to write and fax congress, in November congress finally came through and passed the Small Webcasters Amendment Act. While the SWAA was not ideal and far from perfect, it would allow SomaFM to go back on the air. Instead of $500 a day we would only have to pay $2000-5000 a year from now on, plus $6000 in back fees. On November 19th, 2002, we returned to the air.
We currently have 6 separate channels back on the air (with 6 more ready to resume broadcasting as soon as we pay off our debt to the RIAA). The station is going strong. We get over 1 million "listener hours" a month, which makes us one of the larger internet-only broadcasters. But we're not looking to increase our audience by playing more mainstream music. We look for music and formats that aren't available on commercial radio, or formats that are "not being done right" as Rusty puts it.
But if your after a true SSD in both IDE and SCSI configurations, check out the stuff M-Systems has to offer. They even come packaged in the same form factor as a standard HD.
China is a very nasty place to live and prosper. The future looks very bleak with the CCP controlling the nation. A few examples: Very bad human rights (They punish people who practice unofficial religion in public areas), Polution is far worse then in Western civilizations, and corruption runs rampent.
Communism has and never will work because it leaves a vacuum of power that is not elected by it's populace. Read up on evolutonary psychology and maybe then you will understand how human nature and established forms of goverment work hand in hand.
Religion is a self-control form of governance. In other words, the majority of the human populace looks to a higher being/s as the director in moral and ethical values. So even if you had a government devoid of any religious ties, setting foundation of morals and ethics becomes troublesome in the formation of law.
Let me ask you a question. Would you rather have government based around right-wing religious zealotry, or leftwing liberal fanatics?
That was intended to be a trick question. The reason being, is because US citizens want balance between morals/ethics, and reasonable logic. So you will always have a shift in votes between electing democrats and republics. It's a natural cycle that defines American past, present, and future.
Cenatek offers the Rocket Drive. Basically, it's RAM on a PCI card that requires an external power source via AC adapter. Of course, you could use a RAM drive setting in your OS. And if you need gigs of memory to start out with, your better off going with a 64bit platform as it scales.
The folks at the patent office will do anything to justify their jobs. The amount of graduating lawers per year alone is enough to make me sick! And yes, the will do anything to pass laws (regardless how fucked up they may be) just so they can have something to stamp on their resume' out of prestige.
Their all filthy fucking maggots...everyone of them bastards!
I really hope there is a law to prevent the creation of CG kiddy porn. Sure, no one is actually be exploited. But it is a moral issue that can rip into the fabric of human decency in future societal foundations.
My CD player was still playing White Zombie (on two 10" subs) long after I got into a wreck in my 91 Honda CRX. After the police showed up to investigate, one of the officers had my walk back to my car and turn that shit off. Oh well, must have been too much tension in the air for music.
If DRM is implemented at the hardware level, your fucked. Imagine a custom DRM encyription/decryption CPU working with low level bus data. Sure, you may be able to fight software with software. But if DRM is at the hardware level...may the best of luck be with you. May it be with us all.
Sweet Jesus! The USA and EU are the last bastions of freedom left in this world. If laws like this continue to get passed unchecked, God only knows what will happen. Sadly, I've read an article the other day on Fortune.com about how white collar criminals are punished far more harshly then say...a rapest or thief. Oh well, guess it's time to bow down to our corporate masters. *sigh*
Setup a program to rip, fetch info from CDDB.com, and encode in batch. Then, just rip a few CDs a day if you like. Eventually, you'll get that archive compleated.
Funny thing is, I own an Apex AD-1600 DVD player that I got for around 30 bucks (brand new). And with that player I got the ability to play DVDs (of course) MP3, JPEG, Kodak PCD, and Windows Media Audio. Not shabby for the price eh? And this is piece of hardware.
And Micro$oft want's to charge $199 for a retail copy of WinXP Home ($99 for uprade). They can BLOW ME! As soon as Linux supports the games and applications I want to use (without buggy WIN32 emulators), then I will make the official plunge. Until then, my software usage will be dubious at best.

That's all you have to do. Just messure the decrease in weight. Why do they have to make it anymore complicated in it needs to be? *sigh*

Will little frozen chicken McNuggets work? That turbo is rather small to swallow a big bird.
SCO is a litigation firm now. So it only makes since for them to "trim the fat" by getting rid of non-legal staff.

Ya the price is lame, I know :(

All take a stab at this.

Does this free viewer run on other OSs (Mac, Linux)? Can you cut the text from the viewer and paste into another word processing app?
Hell, why doesn't Adobe make a word processing version of Acrobat?

Question is, what are they doing with a filter in the first place?

It's called faith, because I "believe" yet I do not know for certain. If I knew, then I would have stated it as fact.
If you consider the existence of a soul to be a "fact", then prove it. I'm sorry, but I have to play devils advocate based on your choice of words.

ohh fuck it *sigh*. Just give me the option to store WAV files (pure redbook audio) on my iPod.
If consciousness is unlimited in the etherial plain, then so is God being he would be the embodiment of the collective consciousness...and vise versa.
Of course, that's just my opinion based on my own personal faith.
If you belive in the soul, then consciousness knows no boundaries. And the collective consciousness is the embodiment of God.
You may quote me on that if you like. For it's what I believe in.

To bribe or cybersquat. Then...profit!
Though, in this post Dot-Bomb world it would be deamed illigal. I don't think you can register trademarked names such as Microsoft or Pepsi.
