    The LEGO guy youe thinking is probably the Thing from the Fantastic Four. Thus, a Marvel character.

    As the Ogg Vorbis folks have done. There are QuickTime extensions for Ogg Vorbis, albeit still not quite ready for production.

    Pro Tools setups are a bit expensive for indie producers. Unless he's footing the bill, I'd claim he works for Digidesign.

    Especially since it was the Bomb Squad who did the production, not Chuck D.

  7. original on The Nation of Macintosh? · · Score: 5, Informative

    So it stars an "an original Macintosh, the 512K," huh? The original Mac had a big bad 128K of RAM. (and a 400K single sided 3.5" floppy)

  9. Re:A little black box on Cringley Asking for 12 Month Predictions · · Score: 4, Funny

    There's a story from a while back:

    Tomorrow, Cray (or whoever) could come out with a portable computer that has 30x the performance of any desktop PC. It would cost $500, with a flat planel screen capable of 4096x3072 pixels, yet it could still fit in your pocket. It would run on AA batteries for hours and hours, perfectly recognize handwriting and voice, and have wireless broadband anywhere in the world for FREE.

    First question about it? "DOES IT RUN WINDOWS?"

  10. Re:Richard Feynman used to boast. . . on Nobel Prizes for Physics Awarded to Smart People · · Score: 1

    It is my opinion that the word "terrorism" is only good for specifying violence or the threat of violence when you want to make something look bad. It's turned meaningless.

    I stand corrected, though.

  11. Re:Ig Noble Prizes awarded a few days ago on Nobel Prizes for Physics Awarded to Smart People · · Score: 1

    The best Ig Nobel prize is this: (from everything2.com)

    Keita Sato, President of Takara Co., Dr. Matsumi Suzuki, President of Japan Acoustic Lab, and Dr. Norio Kogure, Executive Director, Kogure Veterinary Hospital, for promoting peace and harmony between the species by inventing Bow-Lingual, a computer-based automatic dog-to-human language translation device.

    I can imagine the output: "HEY HEY HEY! HEY!!!! HEEEEEEY! HEY HEY HEY!!!"

    Most PEOPLE are 10x more ethical than abortion clinic bombers. Hell, most FUNDAMENTALISTS are more ethical than that.

    As Israel being founded by terrorism, that's ridiculous. Israel was created by the UN by charter and was immediately ATTACKED by the surrounding nations. Israel did not strike first until 1978.

  16. Re:standards on Blind User Sues Southwest Over Web Site, Cites ADA · · Score: 2

    You're right. It probably would be very easy. Such guidelines should be written BEFORE any legal precedent is set. My bet is that Southwest settles like the other two companies did, so no precedent will be set in that case. However, it would probably be useful for these guidelines to actually be written! (and submitted to the W3C or something, the XHTML business may already account for this)

  17. standards on Blind User Sues Southwest Over Web Site, Cites ADA · · Score: 5, Informative

    This why html standards exist. XHTML requires all img tags to have alt="" attributes, which several images on the southwest web page do NOT have. These images seem to be the only links to any other functions on the first page.

  18. Re:Darwin and MkLinux? on GNU/Hurd Gets POSIX Threads · · Score: 2

    MkLinux doesn't seem to have been discontinued. The news page shows a new release in the works as of Aug 11 2002.

    MkLinux was first built by an Apple team on x86 hardware, then ported (to prove how portable the Mach kernel and the Linux kernel are) both Mach and their Linux server to powerpc

  19. Re:The HURT on GNU/Hurd Gets POSIX Threads · · Score: 2

    Well, it's certainly not the microkernel that's holding things back. BeOS and Mac OS X both use microkernels. There were UNIX emulators for Mac OS Classic running on Mach, and MkLinux had a Linux kernel running in user-mode on Mach on both x86 and ppc platforms before any of this User Mode Linux business.

    That depends on what you like. The Middle East is a good place to start. That's on Mass Ave in Cambridge.

    The Phoenix Landing has techno on Wednesday nights and drum n bass on Thursdays.

    Saturday nights at the Cellar TWO BLOCKS from Harvard is free techno, but that's 21+

    You can look up stuff on boston.citysearch.com, as well. If you're into electronic stuff, check out www.miscon.net. There's also some Boston area really dorky hip hop at http://www.donred.org (one of my everything2.com compadres!)

    Actually, the new Sasha CD does not play on my radio station's CD players because of the copy protection.

    Most commercial radio stations nowadays keep all their music stored in digital format on a gigantic hard drive somewhere. Now, I'm sure most radio conglomerates will receive non-DRM versions of this stuff, since they're getting paid to play it in the first place. A radio network could probably refuse to play a single if only a DRM version is available and the record label didn't want to shell out for DRM players for every Clear Channel radio station.
