I remember touring the Microsoft headquarters in Redmond (I was young, okay?) and one of the people who was speaking to our group mentioned how the interviewer she had was considerably more interested in hearing that the she had a mother with Diabetes rather than technological prowess. Another person who was speaking to us said that he received a similar interview process, and it all came down to a question about moving a certain amount of water using a single 5-gallon bucket. The question was so obscure I can hardly even remember the details.
I'm skeptical about the success of this. One of the reasons the rockbox software was so popular and great for the original Archos Jukeboxs' was because their original firmware was terrible.
I wouldn't say that the iRiver firmware is great, but it's not as bad as the original Jukebox. The iRiver, after all, already plays Vorbis.
I would personally like to see software that sped up the loading time on the player.
"hymm decodes the songs you have purchased using the key from your iPod and/or your operating system and make a new file which is not protected, it keeps the cover art and song data as part of the file. Since this is using your key, you can only do this for your songs, which I personally think is fair- they're the songs you bought, you should be able to put them on your other computers or devices."
I don't know, even if that doesn't technically violate fair use, it comes really close. He [the author] is right though: they're the songs you bought, you should be able to put them on your other computers.
You can hear the capacitor charging before you take a picture, it's that high pitched whiny noise. If you only want to give the person a small shock charge it for a second.
Back in the day we used to charge capacitors in our electrical class in high school and leave them in the hall with a simple "Please Do Not Touch" note next to it. Of course they would get curious and try and pick it up and get a jolt of hilarity.
Probably get sued for doing that now-a-days though.
Oh c'mon, you guys get too worked up over privacy. Even if google forwarded your email to every person in the government and admitted it, it'd still probably be a great alternative to Yahoo! and Hotmail.
Just talk in code, like so:
"Did you get the "Spanish omelets" I sent you?"
"Yes, but I'm afraid the "tomatoes" stole the "Monkey""
"Oh ok, the crow flocks at midnight!"
See, two guys talking about Spanish omelets, monkeys and birds. Mr. Ashcroft is none the wiser!
Not only is it built on google, but links to Google's caching system. Try for yourself, any cache link you click on A9 takes you directly to google's cache of the page.
Lighten up you guys, and for JUST A MINUTE take off that "NO BLOOD FOR OIL!!11!" hat that always leads you to bash Bush with every last breath you have.
Frankly, I think he should have sprung for wide wi-fi hotspots throughout the country; the technological benefits for that are much better.
It's disturbing to think that the town is going to be like that for 100 years.
Regardless of how many breakthroughs there have been in fission technology, I'd like to see twice as many breakthroughs in radiation cleanup before I embrace the technology.
This just in: The first announced lawsuit against a linux user by the SCO is Mister Bojangles and his site about the wonderful world of fetching.
Mister Bojangles could not be reached for comment.
Granted, it's going to spell trouble for many software engineers, but I think the long term benefits will outweigh it.
Lets face it, there are a lot of people who don't know much about computers--they wouldn't know how to install a anti virus program even if it came bundled as an.exe with the header reading "I LUV U".
At least now maybe we'll see a drop in computer viruses turning $1,200 computers into spam machines.

Here are where the pictures originally came from. As the above poster said the story is not true, but the sealife is real.

"It's not only in the US where governments are using the excuse of terrorism to infringe on civil liberties."
It's only news until you stick your opinion in it. Honestly, I think things like this are best said in comments, not in the front-page reports"hymm decodes the songs you have purchased using the key from your iPod and/or your operating system and make a new file which is not protected, it keeps the cover art and song data as part of the file. Since this is using your key, you can only do this for your songs, which I personally think is fair- they're the songs you bought, you should be able to put them on your other computers or devices."

Give people more incentive to use linux instead of a pirated copy of XP.
It wouldn't be an "educational" program, it would be a "re-education" program, used to reprogram young youths to prevent piracy.
Reminds me of what Communist used to spread their propaganda, except this time the message is much different :)
Yes! Now us (boys) men can take our (dolls) collectable figurines and (play) display them in a scale size (doll-house) terrarium!

They should have it display "Game Over" if she says yes to the marriage proposal.
who will use custom Windows NT software to track movements of the homeless in real time
Everything looked normal to me until I read that and said "Oh haha! APRIL FOOLS!"

Some of us still remember Three Mile Island.

I can only start to imagine the amount of paper cuts recieved in creating one of those bikes.
