I have no idea about who frog cafe' are and what I'm downloading now. But I like Jazz:)
This is EXACTLY the kind of attitude I expect from intelligent people: discover new stuff, don't wait for others to tell you what to listen to. If no one listens to an artist because he's not famous now, how can he become famous one day? superfebs, I applaud you...
I may be different but I don't really want famous artists. I want to be able to discover new stuff. The problem is: I have to download their closed-source player in order to listen to previews and demos. I wished there was something more like Magnatune, or a 30 seconds low-quality mp3 version for example.
OTOH they don't believe a CD copied to a friend is a lost sale, they think it's one future customer! They deserve respect for that.

I don't know if something like that have already been done but there was a paper on neural networks used to crack captchas. It was very efficient on basic text (even with a medium amount of distortion) and showed that intelligent spam bots could be written in the future (not that I want to scare you though;)
I'm SICK AND FUCKING TIRED of legitimate objections to DRM being overshadowed by screaming pirates misusing the term "Fair Use".
I buy one audio CD every week. I love music, every kind of music. And you know what? I put everything on my hard disk in OggVorbis format. It's so convenient: I put all my CDs in a box I can forget and choose a CD with my mouse (or with a script I could write, have you thought about this?)
We're not screaming pirates, we are legitimate users pissed-off by morons like you ("I don't mind DRM, I've got nothing to hide, please somebody won't think of the children") and like those companies trying to screw the artists they are supposed to "protect" and trying to screw us with a 20 years old technology (almost) whose price is constantly increasing.
I'll be redundant but: They are treating their customers like thieves? Good, I'm not a thief, I'M NOT A CUSTOMER! I'll stick to unprotected CDs that I can encode to OggVorbis with the quality I need. And I still don't understand why an audio CD is sometimes more expensive than a Deluxe-Double-DVD-Pack (with 10 hours of bonuses and a free DVD Player inside)?
Is it the work of the compiler to use those multiple cores or the job of the CPU itself? It seems really different than a multiple CPU architecture where the job can be done by the OS... I've been told that all CPUs have something like a hundred of internal "hidden" registers but only a few were materialized for the user. The CPU is doing everything on its own, so I thought cores were the same kind of private optimization.
And a stupid question: is there a difference between the multiple cores and the fact that the Itanium2 can execute (around) 6 instructions at the same time? On the Itanium2, the compiler HAS to use the whole range of registers in order to use most of the parallelism here.
Anime may be all right as a practice exercise (and only as an exercise!) but mangas are awfully written and most conversation end up like:
- Oh my god! - Me too! - I'll kill you! - Me too!
It brings absolutely nothing to the reader (everything comes from the pictures anyway) unless you get really good mangas (with often a lot of interesting but long texts that you won't read).
Most so-called educational software suck, be it for japanese, polish, chess or cooking. A computer is a fast calculator and to me it should only be used as a very fast electronic dictionnary.
My dream would be a japanese class where I could speak for hours (I'm serious!) with real life people. Speak and practice! that's what I miss the most because in the end, it's always some guy speaking alone (and this guy doesn't really care, he's the teacher, he has nothing to learn...)
When I was a kid, I used to listen to Sepultura and Iron Maiden instead of childish songs with happy bunnies in the forest. I used to watch violent movies (sometimes without my parents consent;) and it was great. I even looked at naked chicks on paper (and my eyes didn't burn, I was in awe while looking at those wonderful boobs). But the thing that really mattered was that my parents gave me an EDUCATION! they told me that love was more than just two naked humans, they told me that people had feelings like I do (that's why you must not hurt people!)
Don't tell me that some parents can't educate their kids, it's exactly what kids are for: TO BE RAISED and shown what life is. Regulating will never work, most of my old computer games came from friends ("just install copyqm and you'll have a perfect copy of all these games"). Now it's coming from the Internet.
I would say it is more an exponential function because new links are also appearing in the comments, which increases exponentially the power of the/.ing (and the negative side of the function represents the 5 minutes before the story is posted on the front page.
May I add myself in the list of those who often see 30 minutes of commercial before a movie? Of course if you go to weird theatres with only 50 seats and a black and white japanese movie (like I did a week ago) you won't have much ads but it's a very bad example of what's happening right now!
My hi-fi stereo system is ten years old and still working perfectly (my PC is plugged to it, it's better and louder than small speakers). I don't know what are the problems with PS1/2 and PSP but in Europe one of the highest quality brand for electronic equipment IS Sony! When I see what kind of problems people have with their "european" branded equipment, I'm glad to buy Sony stuff.
The article explains that you don't need Adaware and other anti-spyware programs anymore on Windows, just go to http://www.mypctuneup.com/ and it will remove your spywares for free! I wish I still had a Windows machine to see how much adwares this web site would install...
But english is not the only language to be modified like this. It happens in every country and the style is always the same (like you -> U): write the shortest words possible.
And this times, with twice more nazis butchered and decapitated than previously shown on screen!
Seriously, this is great news to me that Ford will continue for a last movie. Of course the "young Indy" will fail miserably but it doesn't really matter, the Indiana Jones franchise was almost dead anyway, a last movie with Harrison Ford is greatly appreciated.
Re:So why is Gentoo the right choice for this?

Embedded Gentoo?

· Score: 1
you will have faster, smaller and more effecent packages
Actually I've read a lot of comments that (in theory) compiling everything yourself was neither faster nor more efficient. gcc would just make a few optimizations but the speed would remain almost the same than precompiled packages.
Of course Gentoo provides more services than the DIY thing. And that's what may be interesting in embedded architectures because they could have used LFS a long time ago...
sadly, it isnt GPL, and there are no plans for a linux port.
I do hope it's a bad joke. The BT client is written in Python and anyone can read it. I understand that they may not want to release their sources (or use a different license) but no Linux port? I don't get it...
Grrr, the @ sign is the Ruby way to declare an instance member. This is a declaration of war I say!!! (next thing he'll do is to drop the indentation and add end at the end of all the blocks;)
I read two Python books and (I still don't like this language but) whitespace is not one of its problems. You have to admit it's very confusing for n00bs (especially if you look into some real OSS programs) but it's definitely no more an issue after one chapter of a good book.
This isn't so funny when you think about it: what will happen in a few decades? Either we'll live in a dream world without polution, religion and where everyone will be educated and respect each other OR we'll live in a hellish nightmare where books will be forbidden (read this one more time, is it some kind of prophecy?)
Of course I doubt Microsoft and its patents will still exist as it is now.
Or you can play the "hold on" game: -TM: Hello, can I speak to $name -Me: Yes, hold on a second please
At this point of the conversation, go play five minutes in another room while the guy is waiting. An alternative game would be to count how much time the TM can wait.
Slashdot Mirror
The moderator can check the file being uploaded against his own file with the SHA-1 sums of the torrent file.
Of course, with the SHA-0 cracked, how much time do we have left before we see modified binaries having the same checksum?
That's what I just did! ;)
(but don't forget http://www.magnatune.com/, they have the widest range of music IMHO)

$10.50? It soon will be cheaper to wait for the DVD than driving my butt to the theater! That's disgusting...
