Is it possible to make a raid array of opitcal drives that you've burned identical copies of so that you could reconstruct a complete set of media from multiple damaged copies? That would be cool, you know. You and your family could all keep copies of each others backup CD's.
Face facts, google can't beat microsoft if microsoft doesn't want to be beat.
That's right. Microsoft is immortal in the business world. It has to allow other people to beat it in order to be beaten. So don't you even THINK about beating them with your dot com startup wiz-bang über gadget, not unless you've worked your way up to Grand-Master in Ballmer and Gate's secret club of developers developers developers developers.
Because, you know, when I want a server I choose Win2k3... er... I do, right?
You must not subscribe the the RSS feed! I don't know what they're doing, but I have like 3 copies of every single story.
Oh, and speaking of RSS, again I say that if the freakin editors would subscribe to the RSS feed and glance at it before posting they wouldn't post nearly as many dupes.
High standards of living do not have intrinsic justification. Pointing out that his bills are higher because he lives the high life really underscored the fact that he is living much in excess of the quality of life that the majority of the world enjoys, let alone the majority of the people in his own country. Even so, none of this justifies underhanded tactics take his wealth. I agree that it is hard to sympathize with a man who makes millions of dollars a year who then lost his job, whatever the reason was. I doubt he's suing for sympathy. If he is suing simply to perpetuate his standard of living then that is shameful. If he is suing because he wants to bring retribution to the people who truly conspired against him then that is honorable.
I think DIY in the thread title is a bit misleading. I mean, come on... hobbyists? Somebody has probably mistaken the goals of this dev kit. It's a dev kit, not a hobby kit. That means the manufacturer wants *developers* to buy it, not hobbyists. Developers that work for companies with deep pockets who will expand the technology and ship millions of units. That's more money than they'd ever make from hobbyists. Besides, from my experience where I'm sitting right now, cutting edge technology usually has scarcity in hardware. A girl in the next room down from me solders components onto our boards by hand. When the device breaks I don't get a replacement. There isn't one. I take the broken board back over there and let one of the guys hook it up to an o-scope, trace to the malfunctioning part, then he gives it to her to replace that part, again by hand-soldering. So, yeah, $3,000 for a dev kit. That's what you get when you're paying a team of EE's to make these things from scratch.
What we have now is an open protocol which is already effective at moving large amounts of data around. If BitTorrent moves on to incorporate new security, or ads, or anything else, there's no reason we can't go on using what we've already got.
If the inventor of bicycles was given money by the oil companies to implement motors on those bikes, that doesn't mean people couldn't still ride the non-motorized bikes they already had.
It's funny, I often think the same thing. I don't want to live in this country anymore. Sure, a lot of the things that get to me are little things, but when you put them all together they make something big. The other thing that gets me is that it often seems that the priorities in the US are all fucked up. We're worried about the rights of an industry built around entertainment. Yes, it's a lot of money, yes, it's a huge export, but it's fucking entertainment. There are places in the world, in the US even right now, where people's lives are at stake. Maybe we should worry more about helping poor nations develop their businesses so that they can enjoy the luxury of entertainment and actually have enough money to pay for things, money they didn't make selling pre-release or pirated versions of movies or OSes on the street corner.
I don't know that it would be necessarily better living in another country, but man, I think it all the same... It reminds me of that Far Side comic where the two guys are fishing and there's a mushroom cloud in the distance. One of them says to the other "I'll tell you what this means, Norm, no size restrictions and screw the limit!"

That better not be the case, otherwise lovers of IDM songs will be screwed. There was an IDM artist on mp3.com who called himself "[x]_[0_+_ )". Everything from mp3.com was free, and it's not re-rippable, and the site is no longer around in its original fashion so you couldn't just go re-download it. This app could be irreversibly destructive to songs like that.
Owners of Link Park's Reanimation would be screwed too, with titles like P5hng Me A*wy, Rnw@y, H! Vltg3 and My{Dsmbr.
I can't believe they would release something that would look for supposedly illegal files... wtf are they thinking? There is no reliable way to detect illegality. No doubt there is a crazy EULA freeing them from legal responsibility of any data loss.
The song is conveniently downloaded from the Kazaa network the first time an illegal file is found. The song is then used as an audible cue signaling the discovery of illegal content, as well as thrown on the end of the queue of files which need to be deleted. This helps alleviate the strain on their network while assuring that they have something to pin on you, the use of Kazaa to illegally download music.
Awesome, that is so cool! I had no idea that something like that was already implemented. I'd been looking for something to solve that problem of securely mounting a remote filesystem from linux terminal, scp was getting tiresome. I can't wait until OS X gets support for this too. Good thing I use both OS X and Debian.:)

I agree with the moderators, your post is informative and that is a great list of GPS software for the Mac. Comparing those to what's available for Windows... well... in my opinion they all suck. Even so, none of those have the feature that I am looking for.
Not one single vendor has a software that runs on OSX which will let you load maps into a consumer GPS device.
MacGPS Pro supports almost all GPS receivers for moving map images on the Mac screen in real-time.
No GPS vendors support loading maps onto the GPS device itself from a Mac. For instance, in Windows I can load up Garmin Mapsource, select the SF Bay Area to load high-detailed maps of the area, complete with addresses and phone numbers for local restaurants, street-routing data to find out the quickest way to get somewhere, etc., then I can send them all to the hand-held unit. That function is unavailabe on Mac OS for ANY consumer GPS vendor.
If you're going to connect it to a TV, you're going to have a coaxial, component or s-video dongle, and if you're going to have that apparatus plugged in you might as well plug in power while you're at it since video hardware sucks power like mad, and if you're carrying that stuff around then it's probably not too much to carry a 12" laptop.
Of course there are all the other solutions people offered... Never heard of any of them? Yeah, that's what Steve Jobs is saying. Real big market there...
Man, GPS is something I wish Apple WOULD do, since no other vendors have a solution. Not one single vendor has a software that runs on OSX which will let you load maps into a consumer GPS device. I've e-mailed Magellan and Garmin and they both pretty much said "use windows." Ridiculous. I would really love to see a GPS with Apple quality integration...
Digression aside, I do agree with you. I'm glad the iPod is a music device. That's all I want, music from my personal collection. No radio, no video. And that's what I have.:)
