This is just a reflection of how polarized our society has become; it was accelerated post 1994, and 9/11 -> Iraq has sent it around the moon and back again.
The article really just re-enforces my thought that it doesn't really matter what news source you read at any point in time, as long as you are reading many different sources on every side of an issue [to the extent possible]. Then you can settle on the truth being somewhere in the middle.
when i went from 10 - 10.1 i started having problems with my wireless card. about every other reboot it would not be recognized. at one point it was just totally gone so i did a reinstall. the problems started again.
so i switched to suse 9.1, which is great. however i miss having the cooker urpmi stuff. apt will do.
"the app would likely do nothing on a correctly-configured box "
99.9999% of home users run as an admin. i mean come on, a correctly configured box? what in today's world makes you think most people run a correctly configured box? maybe this isn't a big deal in your office...but christ.
i think they are worried about networks - so sites like suprnova and it's ilk would be a target, but no one is going to bother the creators of the program, because it does not include or connect to a network that they have set up. they are after what facilitates the distribution [the network], not the actuall application that does the work.
i understand news for nerds, stuff that matters...

Apple Updates iPhoto
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
but does a 4.0.x update to iPhoto deserve to be on the front page? I mean, it doesn't even seem like there were any major changes.
[Disclaimer: I'm an Apple fan...use iTunes when I am in windows [although i -still- cannot get Rhythmbox to accept.m4a files in the linux world! aaargh!], use an ipod , girlfriend has a G4 that i like a lot]
People are not going to stop buying RIAA-controlled music
People are not going to be driven away en masse by these lawsuits.
If you want to find a solution, you cannot worry about what should be - you need to work with the hand you have been dealt, and come up with workarounds and new ideas to get around problems.
I would equate thinking that one day people will stop buying RIAA music to the idea many people have that as soon as we leave Iraq our problems will be solved...because neither idea is grounded in reality. It is way more complicated, and there is NO easy solution.
actually this seems different. this BMW thing does NOT allow full control of the ipod - just 5 specific playlists and a random mode.
i want, and i hope the Alpine adapter provides, full control and full display on the head unit.
i like apple a lot, but this is really pretty worthless. since you can only control 5 playlists and the random mode, you'll have to go into your glove box to switch CDs. I think i like mine better in the tray under my parking brake, where it is now. unfortunately in a honda and not a beeeemer:)
Blanks DATs cost about $2-$3 each, which is less than a 50 spindle of even the crappiest CD-Rs.
DAT players are a lot more finicky and a lot more maintenance-intensive than your average tape deck or CD player.
"Copying CD's doesn't introduce loss. "
Many many many errors can be introduced in the extraction of an audio cd.
It is not loss in the sense of the loss of frequencies you get from mp3 compression, it is more an issue of dropped samples and skips and blips.
Rip a scratched cd with a gereric [not EAC] ripper and see what happens. It's not loss, but it still sucks. There is a reason a lot of people trade FLAC/SHNS as opposed to audio discs.
it could be done through and adapter for the dock, i would imagine.
surround sound through headphones is a bit pointless for 99.99999999999992 percent of users.

there is no way the bible could be 'banned'.
:)
who in congress would vote for it?
what does "under god" have to do with the bible anyway? nothing.
no one.
i don't see a draft as likely, but it's a hell of a lot more likely in the next 4 years than the banning of the bible. i'm glad i turned 27

but this is just bullsh!t no matter which side you are on:

it drops samples. it is not bit-accurate. digital to digital is not necessarily perfect.
"but exact original sound quality."
no, because the original i-river's input was not bit-accurate. you may or may not notice the difference, but it will not be exact.
and you can only record [.wav] about 70 minutes without restarting.
the Creative Nomad Jukebox 3 is the best option for cheap portable HDD recording.
hmm. suse seems to be a bit quicker in general, but not a ton...it just looks cleaner so i think i like it better.

oh please. why should the company have to notify anyone if they cut off their service?
if they were living on their own, they should be capable of using the phone to call someone to tell them their gas was turned off.
i mean, sure, it is a sad story, but companies sell products - they are not agents of social welfare.
where were these people's family, friends, social workers, etc??? that is the real question
"Internet providers should take those machines offline until they can be cleaned up, the group said."
How are you supposed to patch your computer without internet access?

yes, and the alpine adapter/head i linked above will display track/album/etc information.
i think this is more of a PR stunt than anything, you can only control 5 user-created playlists and one random playlist

something like, oh, say,

Alpine is coming out with an interface that will allow one to control an iPod from the deck, complete with OSD of titles and all...
