I agree. What so very few people seem to get is that for nearly all of us OSS people this is a hobby for us. We write what we need for our own unique purpose, then throw it out into the world to see if someone else might find it useful too. The value to us is in what we use it for ourselves. It's not a product, very correct. It's like a guy building novelty kites because he likes flying them, not like a company trying to find the cheapest way to make a generic kite that appeals to everyone. I wish people would wake up.
A few years ago there were a few studies that showed similar, if not the same, results from the patients doing tai chi and a few other low impact non-aerobic relaxation style exercises. Now they've made a drug that does it too. I agree, to hell with the drug, just do tai chi. If you can stimulate your body to do this manner of thing naturally it will usually take care of all the other chemicals it needs, that we have no clue about, on it's own.
Actually, the linked write up is a great analogy for explaining to non-computer literate folks how hard discs work by compairing it to filing cabnets. The way he explains it is dead on. However, he does descend shortly after that beautiful analogy into paranoid anti-marketing esk assertions. Salt grains may be needed.
One of the major failures of the windows community is in realising that the linux community does not care about the average user. Linux is not a company. Some companies do make use of linux, but that's not the same thing. Linux is not a product atempting to gain market share, though some companies have linux based products.
What you fail to see is that linux users are not unlike people who drive custom cars. They want something that is completely custom and tailored to their own personal wants. Do the guys at Orange County Choppers care what features the newest Honda bike has? Of cousre not, they build very custom vehicles for people who don't care what Honda is selling.
The same is true of most linux users. We want the system to work the way we want it to work, we don't care about you. For most of us it's a hobby. Another example would be comparing someone who builds their own tube audio amps to the average Best Buy customer. Does the guy building his own amp, for his own home, for his own use care if Joe Average likes the features it has? No, no I don't.
This is why I don't tell people to use linux when I'm asked what OS I think I should use. It's like guys who ride Harleys used to say, "if you have to ask, you'll never know."
This review, written from the "I know what I'm doing and want to make it custom" point of view, is funny for those of us with that same point of view. Yes, it's humor, not a critique.
It's just as funny to us as it would be to the guys at OCC if you told them that thanks to a new design, caring for their new Volvo is a snap.
Point is though, after I RTFA and a few other FAs about this, it is stated that the servers slowed a bit. He did not crash them. They did not go down. Yes, he may have tried, but he didn't succeed. It's like charging someone with defacing public property when they failed to spray paint a wall. If I say, "I'd like to see so&so dead," did I commit murder?
...that smells this as the perfect begining of the world's first super-villan? Seriously, from the first stories about this guy till now I keep getting this mental image of some underground base twenty years from now filled with loyal "research assistants" (henchmen) and this guy saying something like, "so, they thought I was a fraud! HA! I will show them! THEY WILL ALL PAY! Release the clones!"
Well actually, it's a safe bet that a givin musician would be a mac user, most all af the Pro grade audio software is mac based. I however would guess that he is none of the above. He probably doesn't even use a computer, afterall, most of his music inovation was done with state of the art analog hardware a lot of it custom build by Bob Moog himself. So you are most likely write, to him it's a paycheck. I doubt he cares if it's MS, Apple or LlamaShit(TM).
Yes, I have actually, all three are silly sounding hairband-esk wank guitarists. Nothing special about them, and the styles they play have little or no musical quality.
As I try to point out as often as I can, violating copyright is neither legal nor illegal. Violating copyright is not a criminal act. It is a civil violation, not a criminal offense.
As far as I can tell, he's talking about turning the internet into TV. These new systems would be able to view many "sites" (stations) at once, while the "user" (viewer) would be able to interact with the "sites content" (show) by clicking on keywords, image intense borders or even on the products in the video itself. It would be a "push" (broadcast) technology instead of a pull, so that instead of content being viewed whenever the user wants, as many times as they want, the content provider could set a schedule of when what content was available to maximize ad revenue. Since this new wonder OS would make rendering content streams a priority, the content provider would always be sure they have an open and readable stream to get content to the user.
This will, of course, be part of the premium internet service.
What you might notice is that one of the two is in fact not a crime. Copyright violation is a civil violation, not a criminal offense. This is why you read news about the RIAA and MPAA sueing people instead of reading about people being prosecuted by the state. If you are the victim of a crime, the state prosecutes. If you are the victim of a civil violation, you sue.
See the difference? If you don't, then try this little experiment. Go down to your local police station and report that someone (doesn't matter who) violated copyright and "stole" a movie. They'll ask you what store/house/car the theft took place at. After you tell them that no real property was taken but instead a movie was copied, they'll politely tell you to go away, as it isn't a criminal matter.
Actually, it's both. After the verse about the "child of god" the chorus has it as "caught in the devil's bargin". In the following chorusi it's "billion year old carbon".
Changing up the lines in the chorus is a Neil Young thing. A lot of his songs do it, almost makes them verse like. Damn the poets.
It's a low latency realtime audio sever layer that allows many different audio and midi programs to interface with audio hardware simultaneously. It is able to move system processes and even the kernel itself into the background so that the audio stuff doesn't lag or drop.
Since your post is in essence injecting religious belief into the realm of science, I'll go at this a different way than I've yet seen anyone else do it. I'll inject some science into the realm of religion
How Christianity Has Evolved
In the beginning of the Christian faith, Christians were a small sect of the Jewish faith that used the fish as their symbol.
Sometime later, a Roman Emperor adopted the faith of Christianity and help consolidate the faith's holy writ. He also helped give rise to the Papacy as a way to unite all Christians.
Sometime later, the concept of Hell (which is not a belief of the parent religion Judaism), along with many other pagan beliefs, were merged into the Christian.
Sometime later, Martin Luther decided that common people should be aloud to read the bible. This caused the first major schism from the Papacy. Many would follow.
How can you say there is no evolution? Your own beliefs are constantly evolving.
Your beliefs may no longer be relevant, if so, perhaps it is time to evolve ideas?
Indeed, what is happening is "The Great Firewall Of America" is going up under the guise of greed/premium service. Content from sites not sponsored by premium carriers will be slowed and finally dropped. The new second tier won't extend outside the US, I mean after all, all those foriegn sites are just scammer dens. Soon, very soon, the US will be isolated from the rest of the world's internet.
"I'm sorry I was outraged about the chip too, but all I could think when I read your comment is man he used the wrong homonym."
I'm outraged too, but mistakes while correcting mistakes are funny. This chip checks the software you run says TFA, does that mean that since I write my own software my machine will not let me even test my own code anymore? This is beyond outrage. It's nearly blind fury.
Well, this just proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are a complete idiot. China makes our inferior equipment, and if you think a nation with less than an eighth of China's population is able to throw vast numbers of troops at China then you failed kindergarden math.
Also, you seem to not realise that most of our national debt is financed by China. Do you actually think they'd fund our war against them?
For those who think that the US is a big teddy bear full of love for the world, freedom, and independence of the people we have two words to remember: Wako Texas.
I will never forget the images of those mothers and children being shot at, bombed and burned to death by fire shooting out of the barrels of tanks by the ATF without ever being told why their home was being attacked.

Why would you even waste your time thinking of ways to make more and newer weapons? The ones we have kill people well enough thank you.

People like Michael Partington and Django Reinhardt have what is called talent.

Hey, if Apple can do it with six buttons, we can too!
I have four of their albums actually. Then again, I used to follow them around St. Louis long before they ever got airplay. Ah, the good old days.

Here are the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) rules and definitions of theft and copyright violation.
Theft
Copyright
What you might notice is that one of the two is in fact not a crime. Copyright violation is a civil violation, not a criminal offense. This is why you read news about the RIAA and MPAA sueing people instead of reading about people being prosecuted by the state. If you are the victim of a crime, the state prosecutes.
