"Microsoft developing OS software must be a whole lot like herding cats..."
Herding cats. Don't let anyone tell you it's easy. Anybody can herd cattle. But holding together 10,000 half-wild shorthairs, now that's another thing altogether. Being a cat herder is probably about the toughest thing I think I've ever done. You see the movies, you hear the stories... I'm livin' a dream. I wouldn't do anything else. It ain't an easy job, but when you bring a herd into town and you ain't lost a one of them, ain't a feeling like it in the world.
But why would a machine that costs 3 grand *not* come with all the features you'd need? Heck, the line out on everyone of their towers has been perfect for everyone I know, except for the guys with Digi cards that need multi-channel audio I/O.
Apple would never hear the end of it from Mac users if they decided not to include onboard sound on a tower. "Buy this $3000 tower...and a sound card, too!"
And you get 5.1 out...how is it shitty? Do they use a crappy audio chipset or something? If so, what one?
Yeah, that optical in and out (as well as standard analog audio in and out) really suck. Forget that crap.
And "shitty speakers"? What PC even has decent speakers built into it? Run some good speakers to the crappy onboard sound listed above. Problem solved.
I'll give you the one about the graphics cards. Mac graphics cards are so overpriced compared to the PC counterparts.
Darn right, that's what I say, too. If you're to hear the music before you buy it, the potential is there for it to be copied. I think the RIAA would prefer you just walk into a brick-and-mortar store and blindly buy CDs at their prices. So far, I like the iTunes store. They've done a nice job with ease-of-use, prices, and DRM. I've messed with playfair, but I really have no need for it...maaaybe once in a while I decode a single song for a friend, but it's nothing that would bring down the music industry in one fell swoop:-P
Encrypted streams sounds good. I read elsewhere that some RIAA-backed company is about to deliver a P2P scanning tool (or something like that..) that checks audio fingerprints. If we just gzipped files or used some basic encryption, it could be easily made useless.
"UDP or Death?" "Ummm.... UDP please." "Very well. Give him UDP." "Mmmmm, thanks. It's very nice." "You! UDP or death?" "Very well! Give him UDP, too! We're gonna run out of UDP at this rate. You! UDP or death?" "Uh, death, please. No, UDP! UDP, sorry. Sorry..." "You said death first, uh-uh, death first!" "Well, I meant UDP!" "Oh, all right. You're lucky I'm Church of England!"
Are there any good introductions to Ethereal on the web? I've looked a little with Google, but turned up nothing great. I may buy this book, but I'm not sure I want to spend $35 on something I may or may not use.

Good luck with that.. ;-P
If you get stuck in this loop like I did, remove it's Application Support folder and it asks you about profiles Then just Force Quit the app.
Hey, accidents happen.

I just had to
You can use a mouse and keyboard on your PS2 or Xbox with the SmartJoy Frag. A video of it in action
"...no doubt about it, it's tough. It's hard work. It's incredibly hard."
"We've done a lot of hard work together over the last three and a half years. We've been challenged, and we've risen to those challenges."
Use Pioneer drives and you can't go wrong. I've used everything from an A02/102 on up, and they work great in my G4 tower.
"60 years?! That's almost 80 years!"
But aren't coins not affected by magnets?
How?
Wow... just wow.

I wish more people would take an interest in "how" things work rather than just being users.
Darn right. Unfortunately, most don't care. They just want to get things done. The "computer as toaster" model.
O dios mio!
Where did you find such a cheap keylogger? :-P
All you have to do is hit your head against the steering wheel :-P
If you can hear it, you can rip it.
:-P

Well that's an easy one, isn't it?

And one more company with DRM that's already cracked :-P
And I *know* /. is just rife with old tyme hackers - folks with C in the heart and solder burns on their fingers
:-P
That was good, I like that
What, you expect him to use chewing gum and a paperclip for everything? :-P

It's what they want the RIAA to go jump into.
