Of course there are plenty of ways for an artist to make money. A) Get commissioned to compose or build a work by a given entity, B) Sell an object, not a stupid "we're selling an object and treating it as such until it becomes more convenient to us to treat it as a license", and C) Get a day job. In a lot of cultures in the world, art is primarily a hobby, not a career. So if there were no "professional" artists around the USA, I'm sure somebody would still be creating high quality art. Art is always a part of human culture.
Yeah, I want to compensate somebody in a *reasonable* manner. Copyright has become the new way of perpetuating a royal class. Why should it be that if I write a great book, a classic even, and then my children and grandchildren can collect free money long after I'm gone. I'm sorry, but what did those brats and their brats do for society that they deserve this? On a similar note, what's the b.s. with Disney? Again, copyright should be shortened to a reasonable amount of time. They can still assert trademark on the characters, but at least the individual works will be able to go back into the public domain. Isn't that basically what has recently happened with the first Popeye cartoons? (albeit still too long since their original publication)
However, nobody, and I mean *nobody* has a guaranteed right of income. And I've constantly heard "if we don't pay people they won't make great works". I'm sure that the cavemen painting the walls of the caves were professionally hired artists, instead of somebody feeling the need to create on his free time. Art always is created whether or not there is financial gain. In fact, I would argue that art that was created for art's sake without regard for financial gain is more truly art.
And this is why I have my own installation of Gallery2 on my own servers and I control access to the pictures. I like to retain the pictures in my control and not grant a license to any corporation to take my photos and use them in any way they feel. Sure, I get a lot of people I know bitching at me about the fact that they have to log in to my gallery site, because it's just not as easy as logging into facebook (really? sounds like they just had to do the same thing...). But no amount of complaining from them will get me to give in and put up my collection on facebook...
I suspect that instead of a financial example, where accuracy to the nth position is often times a strict requirement, they should have used a physics calculation. After all, if there were science courses that were very strict about using the proper amount of significant digits, it was physics. Perhaps this processor could be used for physics research, especially if the accuracy level of the processor can be adjusted somehow.
To add to your thoughts, I also was thinking about this - how would the processor *know* what data is "more important" than other data and therefore switch between modes? Why would I want inaccurate data from a processor that "thrives on random errors" unless I'm working on building an infinite improbability drive? (And the trick to that is a very hot cup of tea, as we all know...)
So the combination is 1... 2... 3... 4... 5...? (stops to open up mask) That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! The kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!
Tools like these are just a bandage on a wound needing stitches. If things were designed properly you'd have no need to use this utility in the first place!
It is, but it's gay porn. Put it to you this way - the only way that American "football" would interest me is if I was the only male on either team, and all the other players were hot teen girls...
Speex's main purpose is to deal with voice streams first and foremost. I can certainly understand that vorbis in ogg will be much more pervasive in general, because speex will be good for audio books but not a lot more when it comes to audio players.
The only time I think you have to fill out any such form is for Customs (not the IRS as far as I know) declarations when you are carrying cash or "monetary instruments" in excess of $10k. At least I believe that is the regulation.
Re: mailmerge with over 3000 rows (which it in of itself seems to be pretty painful)... Does the performance of OO change depending on which db backend you use?
s/progress/change. There, fixed that for you. The change doesn't need to be progress, though often times it is. I wouldn't really consider MS Office 2003 to 2007 progress, but the users at one of my client offices cringed all the same (and I can't blame them) because their parent organization shoved Office 2007 down their throats without any sort of training. They might as well have force OO down their throats instead, it would have had the same effect.
I'd say that's an assumption more than anything. The codebase for NT4 file sharing is not the same as in Samba. Over there years there have been times where some weird tweaks needed to be made to the Samba configs or the registries on the client machines to make things operate properly. It could just be that JET is a piece of crap.;-)
Since I've not see the samba configuration for the shares holding the JET database, I can say this from my own experience: Disabiling oplocks and level2 oplocks made Access databases and Quickbooks databases that my clients were using run a lot more smoothly and stably.
The one I really liked was the one in the movie "The Game"...
You just can't beat the Consumer Recreation Services' true/false test with items like "I frequently hurt small animals." and "I feel guilty when I masturbate."
Is the whole thing really brilliant, or is what Mr. Raman doing just an elaborate work-around for what was essentially a usability step backwards? One thing that I like about my Treo phone is that it has a combination of a touch screen AND has real buttons that I can feel with my fingers and not have to look at the screen if I don't want to. Hell, I can call into my office phone system, put in my voicemail authentication codes, and listen to my voicemails without ever having to look at the phone...
There is also a significant difference between short-term and long-term gains. It seems that everybody who says something to the effect of "officers of a corporation have a legal duty to maximize profits" only ever look at the short-term gains. Officers of a corporation or other entity are to *look out for the entity's best interests*, which do not necessarily mean financial gain.
I beg to differ. Officers and board members of organizations, especially for-profit, are *not* legally obliged to maximize profits at all costs, especially when those methods are unethical. The fact that shareholders could possibly sue if they thought that something was done to hurt their earnings is beside the point: Remember from SNL from the 1990's? Transcript follows:
"Woman: I'd love to sue somebody, but don't I need a reason?
"Barry Green: Myth #8: In order to be successful, a lawsuit must have merit. False. At the law firm of Green & Fazio, we know that some of the most lucrative lawsuits are nuisance suits. you see, today's large corporations and wealthy individuals would rather settle out-of-court than deal with the headaches, the harassment, of endless emotionally draining litigation. And no one harasses defendents like Green & Fazio."
I think Fred (the Slamd64 maintainer) is usually lagged a little behind the official Slackware released do to his life outside of maintaining Slamd64. All of my x86_64 systems run Slamd64. We use it on a number of servers as well.

And building dams has no ecological impact at all either I'm sure...

I would seriously hope that those aren't the Robot Chicken version of unicorns and their magical unicorn mayo...
Do current (5.2.x) PHP versions and Apache 2.2.x have these problems that you describe on Windows?

Do you not know of the SNL skits that end with "We don't care. We don't have to. We're the phone company." ?

Sounds like it's one of those Exchange features that somehow depends on a specific mail client whose name I will not dare mention...
