Infamous? It's shipping in all the G4's, so Apple is already using AltiVec.

While the arguments of "people have satellite or cable" are valid, there is a VERY larger percentage of people that do not have either.
As of Feb 2002: Total Television Households: 105,444,330 Basic Cable Households: 73,147,600
So no more than 30% or so of households with a TV don't have cable. Add in homes with satellite dishes and that percentage drops fewer. Source: National Cable & Telecommunications Association.
Is there good Free software to do this kind of syncing ?
gdam works for me. Useful for DJ-type mixing in general, although I'm such a perfectionist I try out ideas "live" in gdam and then do the final mixes using the laborious combination of the "speed" effect in sox and audacity to do the actual mix.
Um, how many theaters who managed to book a film like Spider-Man would also be booking indie flicks?
I mean, what kind of theater that screens Spider-Man would also screen something like Orlando?
Orlando was distributed in the US by Sony Pictures Classics, a subsidiary of MPAA member Sony Pictures Entertainment. It isn't much more "indie" than Spider-Man on that count.
Did you even read the article? It says MGM and Danjaq only want the title of the movie changed.
Did you read the article? I quote: "The suddenly untitled flick, which began shooting late last year, could require some serious tweaking if New Line can't get the Bond folks to budge. In addition to playing Powers, Dr. Evil and Fat Bastard, Myers was reportedly going to add a new character to his repertoire. The name? Goldmember."
That certainly sounds like the Bond licenseholders want more than the title changed.
He's obviously ignorant of a basic fact of copyright law: if you own a copyright, you must enforce it, or risk losing it. This was true long before the DMCA came along.
IANAL. This has never been true of copyright. You're thinking of trademarks. Not defending your copyright can make it more difficult to sue for damages. That's it.

PDF Alternatives?

actually he does ask "what PDF-creating applications, especially Open Source ones, have people had either successes (to emulate) or failures (to avoid)?"
The submittor didn't write that, Slashdot editor Timothy did. The submittor clearly wants to eliminate PDF files from his site, regardless of what was used to create them, and is looking for alternative file formats. Several other posters have made good recommendations in this vein, which I won't waste bandwidth repeating.
No. THe AHRA of 1992 says that copying music for noncommercial use using *the devices covered by the act* is not actionable.
IANAL, and I realize that there are judicial rulings in force that contradict my interpretation, but my reading of the "definitions" section of the AHRA is that CD-R drives are covered by the act. To wit:
(3) A ''digital audio recording device'' is any machine or
device of a type commonly distributed to individuals for use by
individuals, whether or not included with or as part of some
other machine or device, the digital recording function of which
is designed or marketed for the primary purpose of, and that is
capable of, making a digital audio copied recording for private
use[...]
I think most people would stipulate that the first half of the sentence applies to CD-R drives. The question is, is their "digital recording function" "designed or marketed for the primary purpose of" (emphasis mine) "making a digital audio copied recording for private use"? This may not ne universally true, but I believe that most consumers use CD-R drives not to make backups of software but to burn audio CDs. And the marketing reflects this. I'm looking at a four-page ad for TDK brand CD-R drives on the inside front cover of T3 magazine, January 2001 issue. The headings of the text blocks are "Rip" "Rock" and "Roll." The ad shows three people - one of them is holding a guitar, another is sitting at a mixing desk, and the third faces a computer, and is offering a CD with the distinctive blue tint of a blank to the others. To me, this drive, at least, is primarily "marketed" to people who want to make audio CDs. IMO it's AHRA compatible.
ALl the act says is that you cannot be prosecuted for using a compliant device to copy some music
You're leaving out the part where royalties from sales of devices and media go to content producers to compensate for private copying. They're already being reimbursed for the copying, and now they want to eliminate it. This is called having your cake and wanting to eat it too.
Dr. Dre couldn't give away coppies of Chronic 2000.
That album has been certified platinum six times over. That's over six million copies sold. If you were talking about his flop Aftermath from 1996, that's another story.
They submit their questions for ask/. to get advice. If you don't understand the difference, quit posting here.
ahde wants to install Gnome without having to deal with "dependency hell." My suggestion (phrased glibly in my original post, admittedly) is to switch to a distribution that would allow him to do exactly that. I'm sorry you don't consider that constructive advice.

In your otherwise admirable rush to correct the impression that the entities at the end of the film are aliens (of course they're robots), you've all missed the way the film picks up on themes from the first third of the plot from that point on. David's situation in this part of the film parallels Martin's toward the beginning: he's a broken little boy in frozed suspended animation who's revived and brought home to his family. The film's ending takes on much more significance if you take a few moments to think about it in this light. Those of you who are calling it tacked-on and superfluous are missing the boat completely.
Once you've got your system more or less the way you want it, it really isn't necessary to open dselect very often, which I suppose is why longtime Debian users mention apt-get rather than dselect. dselect is useful for finding newly added packages and a few other things, but it's very slow and it's hard to find packages in it if you don't already know the package name. If I know what I want to do but don't know the name of the package that will let me do it, 'apt-cache search' is much nicer than scrolling through dselect.
The story says he's a fan of Moby and Paul Oakenfold. Why am I not surprised at his taste for least-common-denominator electronic music?
Anyway, this deal likely only covers Moby's most recent work on Mute, not his earlier releases on WEA and Instinct.
As for Oakenfold, it seems odd that Napster would cite his inclusion in the deal - his discs are generally mixed compilations of material by other musicians, which suggests major licensing issues to me. That is, do the interlabel agreements by which these compilations are put together cover online distribution? Time will tell.
No item has been placed into the public domain due to expiration of copyright since (IIRC) 1923.
This is incorrect. "Alexander's Ragtime Band," for instance, slipped into the public domain in the early '90's when the publisher forgot to renew its copyright. There was an article in Billboard around the time with hilarious quotes from music publishers about what a horrible mistake this was.
This doesn't look very exciting - based on the system requirements, it looks like it's just a portable MD recorder bundled with MP3 management software, with the various supported sound formats just played through your soundcard and recorded (analogue) by the MD recorder. You can do this with any MD recorder out of the box. The text-to-speech function of the software looks pretty cool, but, again, there are other solutions that offer this functionality. Looks like they're charging $250USD for the prestige of having the word "Internet" on the box.
How many minutes of MP3 can a Minidisc hold, anyway?
Based on my assumption above, this device doesn't hold MP3 at all, just re-records it into ATRAC format, so it holds ~74 minutes in stereo, ~148 minutes in mono.

Seven Dwarfs, actually. "Dwarves" was an obscure variant until Tolkien popularized it.
You probably meant to say that the show starts at 7PM EDT. The US is on Daylight Saving time now, not Standard time.
