Confirmed. There's a whiskey distiller near Glasgow which has geese guarding it. You *really* don't want to mess with them - they're more than capable of breaking your legs.
Aaaaaargh! Get a pair of Technics 1210s. NOW. Anyone playing compressed music through anything that even resembles a large sound system should be shot (I imagine you'll be playing MP3s thought your 'DJ' computer). CD decks are acceptable, but ONLY if you can't get that particular track on vinyl.
Actually, Stanton's Final Scratch is preferable in this situation. (Final Scratch uses a custom Linux install on a laptop, so that should tickle the fancy of the Slashdot crowd too).
My personal preference is a pair of 1210 Mk5s and a DJM600.
I've had my ears abused by DJs using sub-standard digital equipment on sound rigs too many times. Don't do it kids.
Erm, Laser, anyone?
If the emissions are parallel (as with a parabolic dish), the the only thing which will decrease the power recieved at the other end is absorbtion.
Yup. You NEED a license to watch any TV in the UK. All the license money goes to the BBC (it even pays for radio and their website), and no, there's no advertising on the BBC at all.
So next time you listen to BBC Radio over the Internet, or get the news from the BBC site, think of us. We're paying.
If that's the case, then why was the patent not dropped before it ran out? If there was no financial gain from having the patent, then why not license it freely and regain a little repect in the OSS community? UniSys obviously knows the value of Linux. They can't be blind to the opinion of the community that surrounds it.
Why would you want to encrypt a message to your gran?
If she's involved in something that you *really* don't want anyone to hear, surely she's smart enough to use an encryption system that you have previously set up for her. No?
We're talking about software *patents* here, not copyright. The lines of source code don't matter in a patent case. If your software does something which is patented, then you are infringing on the patent no matter how it's implemented. No-one can hide from the patent lawyers, because it's the end result of running the code, not the way the code is written.
The main functions of an app should be right in front of the user, expressed as simply as possible. The rest of the functionality should be further in, in menus and dialogues.
Keep the barrier to entry as low as possible to make the app's *main* functionality immediately usable to as many as possible.
Having siad that, I don't actually think the current crop of OSS apps is all that bad. I'm sure there are some turkeys out there, but the latest Fedora and Mandrake distros (as an example) are pretty easy to use out the box. MPlayer (once installed) is as good as anything on Windows (XINE could probably do with some work, though). Firefox is outstanding in this respect. Evolution does fine too (for obvious reasons).
Hav a look at this. I don't know if she's involved in any OSS projects, but it would be fantastic if she was.
Good to see they've dragged ol' Rob out for some truely informed discussion of the matter at hand.
"They've just moved the bar and are further defining this multimedia class of products."
Yeah. Thanks for that, Rob. I feel I now have a full grasp of the situation. You Muppet.

No. It doesn't.
"Independent Writer Recommends Firefox over IE on Internet Site Owned by Microsoft" is what happened.

I wonder what the IP status of this is.....

Outstanding.
I see.
If it was house you were playing I would have said to go here and listen to my mix.
But you don't, so I won't.
And yet I just did.
Cool.
That's all right then. Just out of interest, what sort of stuff do you play?
What's the opinion of the sendmail developers?

Got any evidence for that? Why would the state fund Channel 4? I'm not trolling, I'd honestly like to know.
Next!
Hmmm. That's a good point. I stand corrected.

I'm using a PCI Hauppage card, and it doesn't touch the processor.
