Well, they _had_ evidence, but somehow during the fsck of his house they ended up misplacing it, so it was lost forever... something about being unable to find the metadata?
Living on Jefferson within walking distance of both of the places you just mentioned - and also having assisted in the production of another unnamed defunct detroit nerd conference - I can personally attest that having a convention downtown is kind of ill-conceived.
Loft parties, however, are an entirely different story.
Same - I un-learned it in the 2-3 years it's been since I've used a pda - however I _still_ write my "k" as in graffiti; my brain just won't adjust back.
Something to consider is that the margins in this market segment (the sub-$500 pc) are much much less than almost everywhere else in the industry - it's likely that Apple is taking this into account as well.
It's not like Dell or anyone else can make 25% on a $499 box, either.
It's all about the volume. The "iPod factor" will play a really big role here, I think, as most of the news articles have already noted.
So you're telling me that they wouldn't prefer me to buy two copies of that cd: one for my car, and one for my home stereo... if they could?
Riiiight.

toasters only existed in megatf, which sucked. i remember games where there'd be 2-3 snipers per team and there'd be all kinds of soldier fun going on in the shadow of the bridge. heh.
what a wonderful combination of engine, game, map design, and playability. on 2fort5, i knew dudes who, as a soldier, could rocket+grenade jump from shelter to the enemy's front gate, then rocketjump up again into the nest... the entire operation taking less than a second.
The chicken-and-egg problem is that it's "popular," because people want to hear it, because it's all they've been hearing, because the recording industry is shoving it down everyone's throat, which makes it "popular," which gets it all over P2P, and the cycle continues.
that has nothing to do with p2p. that cycle has existed for many years now and was well-rooted long before even napster was popular with geeks.
you're blaming p2p for people being sheep. nice try.
i'm disappointed, too, because while it's still running, my 19" sony CPD-420GS that i picked up only three or four years ago is sitting in my driveway under a foot of snow pending the arrival of the garbage truck.
that's only for resolution and bitdepth.
his monitor is fixed-sync. it needs specific timings and a specific refresh rate.
what you've provided offers no way of setting that. there's a lot more than that in a xf86 modeline.
AFAIK, linux framebuffer won't do anything but 60hz refresh.

"What evidence do they have?"

This whole thing cracks me up.

"the [anything] version of royal oak" is not praise.

and the poster is asking for something for backup, which isn't a continuous use application! it all works out!

It also forcibly closes all of the unsaved documents in the running session, which is dumb and annoying. -j

i didn't realize that there were still intelligent comments posted to slashdot.

Except a usb key isn't "something you have" - as it's not a cryptographic device, just file storage.
It's the technological equivalent of a really long secure password, written down on a piece of paper, kept in your shirt pocket.

Yeah, 'cause drag-'n'-drop under X11 works _really_ well.
-j
Well duh - that's what the first two fields (0,[1-3]) mean.
:)
The important part is, though, that the backups and copy operations take = 59 seconds to complete.

Sounds like the RIAA should be going after the real pirates, not little Susie or Grandma.
I wonder if slashdot will ever figure out that Susie and Grandma are "real pirates" too.
This sounds so much like OJ's search for the "real killers" it's not even funny.

Yeah, because people love explicitly setting up every tcp connection they use.
One day someone will have to teach slashdot readers the meaning of the word "transparent" and why it's important.

I still frequently use an original apple 13" hi-res color monitor. it's fixed-sync 640x480@60 and full-color.
I got it when it was near-new.
it must be at -least- 16 or 17 years old.
