I've been hearing about this since I was 15 (I'm 36 now) and come to think about it, when I read about it then it was some 15 year old Asimov!
It is just sad that humans smart enough to put objects in space are still not smart enough to not make a stinking mess out of everything. As the old saying goes "Don't shit where you live."
I say we get the email address of the judge who ruled this and make it available to all of the fine businesses who make me aware of their products all day every day.
Just as an unsolicited review, Audio Hijack has done more to improve the quality of my life than any program I have bought in the past 5 years. I drive a lot in my work, and those hours in the car can be pretty brutal. The good radio stations fade pretty quickly when you leave San Fran or LA, and not being a fan of Christian broadcasts or Mariachi music, the offerings on highway 5 are pretty dismal. I use Audio Hijack to record my favorite NPR radio shows, and before I leave I drop 20 or so hours worth onto my iPod. Life becomes bearable as I drive and drive and drive.
As a side note, I don't know why anyone would pay for a radio shark unless the radio they listen to is not streamed online. If it is, Audio Hijack fits the bill for a lot less money.
"These shots -- especially the space battle scenes -- certainly make it look more worthwhile than the two prior episodes."
That is a hopeful thing to say considering it was the acting that made the last two so bad. You can't hear how badly someone says "princess. I love you" is a photo.
The link below is an interview with Reed Hastings on financial site htp:wwwfoolcom. If your a netflix fan it is a good read. They tend to be a bit softball, but Reed comes across very well. I think that Netflix will be first out with a good video on demand service.

Los Angeles and San Francisco have municipal electricity. Having lived for years under the monopoly of corporate PG&E, it was a big relief to have a muni system instead. I found them more fair, cheaper, more reasonable. "We the people" man. I'm all for it, and a pox on all those trying to stifle community in the name of corporate profit.
Intelligent people are going to choose Linux more and more. Why would anyone with a brain who wasn't getting paid off by MS choose anything else. Especially people who were building and enterprise like a robot. I know from running a business that every dollar counts. If I was going to make 20 robots, I sure wouldn't want to buy a MS license for each of them!
Well, as scary as this is in theory, there is no substance to the article at all. No bill number, no names of politicians or agencies that are actually considering everything. I'm not going to loose any sleep over this until it sounds a lot less like vaporware.
"Regardless of whether or not Apple "should" or "shouldn't" be doing this, whether it's good PR or not, etc., if you can't see that it's wrong, legally and ethically, for these people to be leaking this information, then, well, we have nothing further to discuss. Is it journalism and free speech when you violate laws to obtain information? Ignorance of the law is no excuse..."
I guess we have nothing to discuss, except I might call you a pompous fool who should take the stick out of your ass.
Just because something is a law, doesn't make it write. There is a long history in this country of civil disobedience against unjust, unconstitutional, or wrongheaded laws. Just because corporate interest have the power to get laws like this passed, this does not make it right or constitutional.
I'm with Quasar on this. Wanting separate devices that all work well does not make one a neophyte. It's not just phones that have this problem. If a great product comes out, buy two, because by the time your first one breaks, the latest model is going to have so many advanced features, that it is not going to be able to do what it was supposed to do in the first place. Answering machines are my favorite example of this phenomenon. The old ones that had cassette tapes in them, they were perfect. Now, the digital versions suck wind, and the old ones can't be bought for any price. I think the primary culprit is the NEW NEW NEW business cycle. A good product can NOT be left alone, it has to be improved and re-released as new every 15 minutes, and all of theses improvements" just kill.
Am I missing something, or is this research fundamentally obvious. "Big galaxies contain more dust and make more stars, small galaxies have less dust and less stars." Gee wiz, that just stretches the limits of possibilities.
sorry losers, the first guy is correct. If you look at a history of stock splits, they have nothing to do with anything but hype. Sometimes they are harbingers of good fortune, and sometimes just corporate spin and PR.

A photo of the robot is cool, but I really wanted to see a photo of the girl!

I should learn to check these things.
This guy is my new hero. I wish every millionaire used their money to make the world a better place in some way.
As a really bad spller, I really apreciate Aaron Krowne. Thanks for poiting out that other things mater.

What do you mean? (honest question, not a troll)

Oh come on. If you could get off without paying parking tickets, you would, don't lie!
If your like me, #77 (lite-brite) will bring you back to a moment you forgot long ago.

What is the URL of that popular MAC torrent site? Just for research purposes of course.
What I want to know, is there anyway to sell my unused cycles on the open market. I love SETI and all, but making a $$$ would be super cool.

Are you supposed to be able to hear clips of the music? On my Mac running Firefox, I cannot. Thanks, Alex
I know it's here somewhere.
