See subject and run if you fret over this stuff...
www.barchord.com is a website dedicated to independent or signed artists. We give them control over the price, music type (mp3, vorbis, some strange encoded format), and in general attempt to provide tools and places for them to do their thing.
Website is fairly new, but theres already a few hundred bands most of which have music listed. About half of that is free. Go and enjoy. Also, I'd love constructive comments on the website itself.
Curious... I figured that IBM would be the one to finally get this kind of thing out the door.
That said, they forgot to mention that two 45 degree angles creates less resistance to your confused electron than a single 90 degree angle -- shorter distance too which is a bonus:)
Should be able to charge faster due to 2 AC adapters:)
Seriously, I don't know about the harddrives, but if its twice as dense rather than a second platter it should increase the transfer speed somewhat as more bits will pass under the read head in a given timeframe.
Doesn't help seeks at all though.
Funny as it may seem, as a company I find this to be WAY less restricting than the GPL. So, it's OpenSource in that I can obtain, edit and USE the source in a manner it was originally fashioned.
What I'm not allowed to do is trojan the ipf source and send it off to users and competitors.
I'm sorry, but if you need 30Gs of hardware for a MySQL database you've designed something seriously wrong.
And yeah, 2 Xeon 1.7Ghz, 4GB RDram, and 4 good 10k drives for quick raid will be around that.
Surely you've got some more interesting information to serve than that which is flat? For that matter, apache across 20 boxes you found in a pentium junkyard with a cheap loadbalancer in front are going to run circles around the dual Xeons, especially when you factor in things like Uptime and concurrent load -- 2 things at once is nice. 20 things at once, even at 1/4 the speed is much better. Less time spent task switching, more time spent serving files. Odds are it'll appear faster to client as response time is reduced even if overall throughput is *potentially* increased.
It's lossy enough that California can't easily buy power from other states or countries which have the power. Ontario is going to bring back Bruce B nuclear power plant (more than enough to power a few small cities). Not because we need it now, but we may in another decade or so.
I'm sure British Energy is willing to sell the power being generated to the south. Good luck getting it there though.
heh.. mslinux would be allowed to exist. If someone does hold a trademark over linux, have they signed RedHat, Debian, etc. etc. etc. the ability to use that trademark? Otherwise it's already publically available as it's not been fought for. Redhat in particular is quite well known, and *may* be infringing.
Of course, I don't know the particulars behind the trademark. I do know that the FreeBSD group has been forced to stand up for their trademark 'FreeBSD'. So... If MSFreeBSD came around they'd have some trouble. They can use the source, but not the name.
Ironically I'd say they're less deceptive.
The painter would be more likley to show information from outside of the frame of view in the painting itself in colour or form (that mushy feeling and mood setting stuff) than the camera.
Needs some work in the interface (I'm a programmer not a UI developer) but check out www.BarChord.com
Our motto is 'Music on the artists terms' -- because we'd like to think we offer a very variable terms that accomodate what artists want individually (and as a group).
Woo for fast and light. IBM X20 baby.
Just light and small enough to be carried nearly everywhere I go -- case makes it look like an expensive binder when closed up. But big and powerful enough to be my primary winders box.
Unix was meant to be headless, leave it that way:) Besides, for the price of a monitor, etc. for a nix box, you could get another headless one.
First off, it would be complete luck if we happened to see it with warning any longer than about a year. Those things move fast and we don't cover most of the sky in a good time period.
Sure, we might see the one thats the size of north america with 30 years warning, but something a kilometer across (enough to be very destructive if it has an iron core) could easily slip by till a months warning or so. Doesn't leave much time for ideas other than move everyone in China to the US underground to save them.
Anyone who admits to being wealthy must be a very poor person compared to those who really have money.
Many people in the world have much more wealth and power than Gates, but they like to hide it. Nothing is better than having control when most people don't realize it.
Anyway, personal thoughts. Can't really proove anything other than the wealthy only seem to get so wealthy then all of a sudden their wealth dissapears. Rockefellers in particular were (are?) really good at that.
More interestingly is the lack of information a photo can convey.
A closeup of a tiny grouping of trees can make it seem as if there is a forest -- when really the rest has been clearcut. Kinda like when you drive down a road up in the northern parts of ontario. Walk in about 20 paces and it's all open land.
Not normally useful till you use a photograph to proclaim the truth. As whats going on outside of the photo in that area is still unknown but it's enough to convince most humans to believe.
What exactly do weapons have to do with war?
Sure, that might be one use but I get some personal enjoyment out of shooting off an arrow every once in a while.
Ever play darts? Drop a few hundred thousand of them out of a plane and you could have a heck of a war. Very painful I'd imagine.
I'll still stick with the UPS 18 wheeler than yours.. But, the 747 FedEx planes have got to beat all standard shipping lanes for this kind of traffic. Half decently quick and really really high parallism.
How many radio stations do you know of that play anything but the top 40 anymore?
Unfortunately , it's become the other way around. If the labels want it on the radio, they pay. Radio stations have almost all the power in that field -- and the labels gave it to them in the 60s through 70s by setting up the middle men. Now if they don't pay stuff doesn't sell. I had a few really good examples of new albums that didn't make it on radio due to this, but I forget who the band is at the moment -- and yes they're bands most people would recognize as regularly having previous hit material. Damn sleep wipes the mind.
As already proven, if cocain somehow managed to completely dissapear it would be easily replaced by something else. The war is futile as nobody has realized the enemy is themselves. Doesn't matter how many sources you plug as long as there is a demand. The real trick is to stop the demand and all of a suden the supply will dissapear.
TV commercials are great and all, but the millions spent on prevention would be better spent on education. 'Drugs are bad.. Mkay'
I just love how everyone assumes that all drugs are coming from outside the USA (atleast I believe thats the 'war' you mean) and somehow doesn't require any americans to take part in the trafficing.
Ignorance is bliss I suppose.
One would think that the open source 'Release often' group would understand that a well known & documented bug in a shipped product is still better than a fixed bug in something in the lab -- atleast thats how customers feel -- especially when they can expect updates.
That said, our clients expect near perfection and they should for what they're requesting -- especially if they're willing to do hardcore testing on their purchasse and report back.
hahah... Read up on the Indies a little more. In fact it's the other way around. Radio stations are often being paid to play the top albums indirectly by the label:)

Given my rather limited 'music industry experience' I can verify this stands true across North America in general at very least (See my homepage).
Besides, Engineers just designed it. It's the technologists and technicians who actually built the thing. It's those people who should be remembered.
Hmm.. perhaps the minors for getting the ore and the factory workers for getting the various materials ready for manufacturing? The ceramic and insulation doesn't come from thin air.

Copper interconnects only got a 10 to 15% (maybe 20 in some special cases) performance improvement, so yeah -- it's the same thing.

I'd imagine that sex.uranus would be more popular.

Don't forget TODO and ARGH too.

No, I don't block banners either. Sometimes I even click on 'em when I'm interested.
