What crack are you smoking? (I want some!)
The only music you deserve for free is what you can whistle/play/sing yourself. If it ain't in the public record/artistic commons/similar licence and (C) is owned by someone who wants to charge for it then you should (and legally MUST) pay for it. Fair use as a legal construct only applies to limited use (i.e. educational setting, keeping your purchased media safe while playing a backup, etc.)
What really pisses me off is peoples' like you with their sense of entitlement. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED! (Unless you live in Canada where they already pay for downloads in a roundabout way)
Mod me a Troll/Flamebait/whatever But this is the reality.

for the record the humidity helps you with heat dissapation. Water has a higher heat density than air, thus humid (water bearing) air will absorb and carry away more heat. This does not address the fact that water and electronics are not the best of friends;) -nB
Agreed. Besides these guys were the geeks of their time. They are our heritage. Also I'd like to note that the Therimin is not obsolete as you would be led to believe by the host name.... -nB
@mp3 idea: As to dealing with large MP3 files, why not cat a.jpg and a.zip together. Name it.jpg and you get a picture change to.zip and you can enxtract the contents of the zip file. -nB
We have a similar policy at my work. I even take my computer home with me (IBM T40) but some documents can not be opened without a decryption key from a keyserver (Authentica system). Makes working at home a pain, but hey. I can take my jukebox into work with me no problem (essentially a usb2 20gig hdd). But if I dare to bring my camera phone into the Lab areas (cube farm no problem) it's instant reprimand. 2nd offence is suspension w/o pay and third is term. (never heard of anyone being terminated though).
not the least bit dishonest. If they are going to recycle them that most likely means: crush them, grind them up, sell the fractured bits to a recycler. Thus they don't care about the condition. -nB
Disclaimer: I don't know the above is true about _this_ promotion, but was true about a similar one I was involved with.
85Mph in a 55 zone mountain highway / "small town enhancement" (revenue building) +construction zone 2x. The beef I have with it is that I was speeding before the construction zone and was lit up before the construction zone, but was ticketed about 100 feet into the zone . . . and it was coming back from my honeymoon just to put som salt in the old wounds. On the bright side, My insurance company has not increased my rate for this offence (one more in the next 3 years and I'm toast though). Court appearance was manditory if I wanted to contest the ticket. Would have cost me more to fight it than pay it so I paid it. -nB
not watts, amps. I was thinking about this already and I still think the power requirements are doable. It's actually 375 Watts, but only 33% of the time at most so average dissapation is 125 watt. My thought was to charge a Cap (200,000 F) to provide the power required for the on pulse train and charge it with a pack of lithium batteries. Downside is cost, upside is energy density. I may start with only 100 LEDs and see how that looks (I have both thermal and NV equipment at my disposal it take a peek;) -nB
I thought it was more involved than that. I can dump nearly 300 mA at 30KHz 33% duty cycle into these LEDs. Your saying I need only overlay that with a 5-10 Hz flash rate? Damn that's easy. Anyone know of any NorCal theaters using NGs?
Also thinking that 8 Hz would possibly be ideal as Alpha brain waves oscillate around this frequency "you are getting sleepy, your eyes are getting heavy";) (anyone correct me on the brain waves thing IANANurologist) -nB
give me the pattern and I'll build it. This sounds like too cool of an idea to pass up. Mind you I don't give a rats ass about pirating the movie, but I do have a bunch of spare electronics laying around . . . including roughly 500 IR LEDs.:-)
um..... yikes, the article mentions that the whole family is strong. "Researchers would not disclose the boy's identity but said he was born to a somewhat muscular mother, a 24-year-old former professional sprinter. Her brother and three other close male relatives all were unusually strong, with one of them a construction worker able to unload heavy kerbstones by hand." -nB
Not too sure how I feel about this.... On one hand I applaud the proactive stance of shutting down spammers, but on the other hand I feel that an account should maybe be sent one warning which, if not answered within 1 day or so would then result in account suspension. Or, you are prevented from sending out any more e-mails until you respond to a "human test" e-mail.
I see no reason why my stock price should suffer B/C some 1337 kiddie was lacking in thermodynamics and fried his CPU. I tend to support Intel's move on this.
That is not to say I've never overclocked a CPU though, I managed to get a Katmai (Piii 450-600) up to 1GHz before I traumatized the hardware to the point of complete failure: RAM, CPU, MB Socket, and northbridge chip all dead:-).

"I've had 3 speeding tickets in 16 years on the road, and they were $90+ apiece!"

One of Intel's biggest corp. directives is to prevent loss in the supply chain. Theft at the plants in any qty. is actually quite rare.
UP is not what worries me
These cards only take up 1 PCIe slot each. They are _not_ AGP cards and do _not_ block and slots.
