Fuck that! It's too much work, too expensive, and a needless hassle to let your computer be attacked and clean it up afterwards. Switching to a non-Microsoft O/S is much easier.
Yes, I'm hopping mad. This topic is now on its third viewing over the past few weeks and the author still refuses to add MS-DOS and CP/M icons to the list. What is the world coming to?
I feel the same way; except that my D&D games and impressive dice collection define my personality. That and the fact that I live in me mumm's basement and still don't have a job at age 31.
Not to say that you cannot record higher frequencies digitally, but with the 44 Khz sample rate standard used by CDs, you are pretty much stuck at a max frequency of 22 KHz. 44 KHz sample divided by two channels.
Sorry but the number of channels recorded has nothing to do with the highest frequency a CD can produce. It is the same for quad, 5.1 and 6.1 recordings.
Google up "Nyquist's Sampling Theorem" for details.
You can still find a number of musicians who prefer to record in analog.
Ah! yes. There is that wonderful group, "The Luddites," from Manchester, "Stoic Mennonites," from Waterloo, "Pennsylvania Dutch" and let's not forget "Amish Way," with their reworking of traditional hymns.
A few years ago, while waiting for my plane to taxi off the runway, the captain told us we were delayed again since another piece of equipment in the tail section was sending a fault message to the cockpit and we couldn't take off until it stabilized.
After 30 minutes of tinkering without effect he announces, "Hang on. I'm going to reboot the sucker."
Well "the sucker" turned out to be the entire airplane. Every light and air-vent went dead for about 30 seconds and came on in an orderly fashion over the next few minutes. The problem was gone and we left in a few more minutes.
Each student signs a legal form that says a breach of the security means an automatic "F" and a potential criminal investigation.
tells me that this is a good way of getting rid of the classmates you don't like. Similar to the zero-tolerence diversion or the old guilty-until-innocent mentality.
What about having a contest between groups of players based on geography, as an example. There would be four families: north, south, east coast and west coast. The object would be to get your house to be the largest/most expensive of the four in 22 minutes.
...Sure, Belkin makes an external battery for an iPod. But it's not in an Altoids tin....
It would have been cooler if they used a Dilbert mints tin. You know? Invest-mints, Harrass-mints, Empower-mints, Manage-mints, Accomplish-mints, Improve-mints, and Postpone-mints.
I mean, in a centralized system like Sharman (KaZaA) it would be fairly trivial -- KaZaA even tells you when you start it up how many gigs are currently being traded.
KaZaA is decentralized; there is no main server and the files are all stored on the client computers. Also, the version of K.lite that I use shows only: number of nodes on-line, number of files available and number of GB needed for those files.

why? do you put your book in the water or do you keep it out? well, same way. If you put it in the water, you will destroy the reader the same way that you would destroy a book
However, it doesn't cost over $100.00 to replace the book.

Hah, some review. Not even close--it was a retyping of the Microsoft PR sheet. How do I know--look at the "similar" articles from the other sites.
Why don't the authors come out and say it: this is mostly a Windows' problem, again.

So, why is this so bad? It sounds like a natural step in the evolution of the two products.

So, what was their answer? Don't leave us hanging.

It will either be a cheap camera used for input based on body gestures or it will be running Linux, not some proprietary game loader.
My money is on linux.

No linux client.
