It's his opinion. If you believe that about AIDS but still do your work as good as anyone else, you shouldn't be fired. Companies shouldn't be able to fire you just for expressing your beliefs, which is what this amounts to.
How about a little gratitude? Remember WWII when the U.S. took up arms against European aggressors?
Yeah, I remember. You didn't want to touch it until the US itself was attacked, even though without the nation being invaded (France) your country wouldn't exist. You're a colony that rebelled, cost us goodness knows how much directly and lost us control of the world, grudgingly help us out a few times and you expect us to be grateful?
Also, 49% of the US voters didn't elect that idiot that we have in office. Bear with us and maybe we can convince enough of the others of their mistake that we can remedy it in 2008
That's what you were saying 5 years ago. How long does it need? The fact is, you did elect him, under your own system, you can't blame us for judging you by the rulers you pick.
It's like everything else, someone called it another medium, which seems fair. Just like with "normal" cinema, you get arthouse anime, mindless action anime, and everything around.
No, like I said I'd rather have anime seen by the non-watching public like people see weird french films, rather than thinking of it as purely kidde cartoons.
KDE 3.4.1 can do it. In the KDE control centre, Audio CDs, MP3 encoder tab, select variable bitrate, then tick "specify average bitrate" and set it to what you want. Then you just copy and paste the tracks from audiocd:/MP3 in konqueror (it appears to do cddb lookups automatically now, since I can't see an option to configure them anymore)
Whilst I'm glad to see it being shown, I feel that having it on that channel won't do much good for the popular perception of animé in the US. I'd rather see it on some culture-oriented channel that shows foreign artsy films and similar, although that doesn't exactly result in an accurate perception it's a closer one than we currently get.
As for the comments about lies and pretentiousness, is improved filtering on a power supply or reduction of clock jitter in the name of improving a subjective experience pretentious?
If you claim these subjective improvements without a double-blind test then yes, it's pretentious. Like people who claim their expensive wines are so much better than others but can't tell the difference.
The first PC connected, or the first IP in the range (likely to be the same thing if the router is a DHCP server), is a reasonable guess for where all ports should be forwarded to. Sure, it might be wrong some of the time, but it's likely to be right. Quite often there's only one PC connected to the thing, then it's obvious where the packets should go.
Why should one country be entitled to control the accuracy of the system? As far as Europe is concerned the US could just as easily be the bad guys. After all, recent events have hardly showed you as a non-aggressor.
If the design is genuine innovation from US funds, why isn't it patented?
What most people DON'T know is that the crusades were fought to retake constantinople from the Muslims, who invaded it and took it over for no reason.
Yeah. That's why they stopped at constantinople, never went any further. They didn't march through the heart of the Ottoman empire raping and pillaging, sack antioch, leave the dome of the rock in Jerusalem knee-deep in muslim blood, oh no it was all about constantinople. Oh, wait.
As for the inquisition, well, anyone worth their salt should know that Catholic != Protestant, and out of the inquisition
However, Catholic is a subset of Christian. Do you see the parent complaining about protestants?
(Which really wasn't Christian at all - the Church at the time had been taken over by very corrupt leaders).
And Stalin really wasn't Russian at all, the country at the time had been taken over by very corrupt leaders.
And what's this about Jews being war mongering? As far as I know, Jews have never started a war, unless you consider obeying their God war mongering (And they have good reason to obery him - I'm not sure you would want to go against the all powerful creator of the universe)
When your god tells you to start a war that's war mongering all right. Would you say the september 11th hijackers were not terrorists because they were obeying their god? I'm pretty sure they have started a war, but even if they haven't they've caused wars by going into other people's land. Pretty much the first definite Jewish thing was Abraham walking over to someone else's land and nicking it, oh, sorry, claiming it was granted to him by some almighty being.
Now, as for today's USA - what have we done wrong? We took out a dictator who routinely murdered his own people!
And killed so many of those people in the process that your government refuses to release a body count. Way to look out for their interests.
Any international organization doesn't have the right to ask the US for something they invented.
The DNS of today is far from a purely US invention. It's been a collaboration of interested people everywhere. More importantly, it's used everywhere, it's a part of the global infrastructure. I'm not saying it should necessarily be the UN, but it belongs in the hands of an international body.
Does 24/96 actually sound noticeably (double-blind) better? I can see it for mixing, but in terms of directly listening to the vocal, 44khz is enough to reproduce perfectly as far as adult human ears are concerned. Is 24 bits noticeably more accurate than 16? I can imagine it being so, but at the same time it seems unlikely CDs would have used anything less than what was thought necessary for (again, as far as human ears are concerned) perfect reproduction.
1) Do you see people trying to increase their quality of viewing paintings and sculpture in the same way? Visuophiles wearing special "monster glasses", or spraying pure nitrogen in the air between them and the picture so the refractive index is constant? No, because such activities are obviously crazy.
2) This is/., we don't need an excuse to be geeky, or mind people who are. What we do hate is lies and pretentiousness. The guy who memorised pi never pretended it was anything other than "hey, I'm good at remembering really long random-looking numbers". If these "audiophiles" admitted "I just enjoy fiddling with electronics" that would be fine, but oh no, they insist it's all about the sound.
So you've never done something really stupid? It was an accident, and no matter how carefully you check before doing it they happen. The fact that she's done this once is no indication she will do it again. You can't expect employees to be perfect, you have to accept a certain failure rate. If she's made several mistakes then ok, but if you fire people for one mistake (no matter how big the consequences) you're kidding yourself.
The shell is responsible for handling wildcards, not the program, a problem that is made much of in the unix haters' handbook. So the problem is not with rm but with bash listing.. as one of the things from.*. You can fix it by setting the GLOBIGNORE variable to something, I don't know why this isn't done by default (perhaps it is on friendlier distros) in/etc/profile or similar.
Web surfing is only possible if people run web servers. Internet radio is only possible if people run streaming servers. The fact that ordinary users can do these things is what makes the web what it is rather than being controlled by big media conglomerates like most other media. I don't want to see it ending.
The solution to that is to disable the services running on those ports. It will have the same effect. uPNP shouldn't be necessary.
Why does your fridge have open ports unless you want to use them? If you want to use them, why do you want them hidden behind nat?
I trust my linux box in the DMZ on my router. I keep it fairly up to date, within a week say. The ports I have open are open because I want them to be open, if I wasn't in the DMZ I'd just port forward them anyway. The only thing I'm any more vulnerable to is a tcp stack flaw.
I think such ISPs exist. They don't advertise the connection being nat because it's a bad thing. I am continually amazed by how many otherwise intelligent people have fallen for this "you need to be behind a router" crap. If you need a router, you're a complete idiot or running an OS written by one.
It's not a strange case, it's a normal way of doing things. Look for a port called DMZ on your router, or a way of setting it in software. The router forwards incoming connections to the DMZ pc. Advanced routers can also do port forwarding or virtual servers, where you tell it that connections to particular ports should go to particular hosts.

When you're CAPITALIZING a word you could maybe, just maybe, check that you've spelled it?
Yeah, I remember. You didn't want to touch it until the US itself was attacked, even though without the nation being invaded (France) your country wouldn't exist. You're a colony that rebelled, cost us goodness knows how much directly and lost us control of the world, grudgingly help us out a few times and you expect us to be grateful?

Wouldn't that make the e silent? (anime like mime). Wheras the accent shows it's a long e. (I don't know, I just copy what I've seen written)
No, like I said I'd rather have anime seen by the non-watching public like people see weird french films, rather than thinking of it as purely kidde cartoons.

If average joe has opened ports he doesn't need then he deserves what he gets.

If the design is genuine innovation from US funds, why isn't it patented?
If he's saying 2 per country on average, that makes maybe 300 total, so the US gets 15 of them.
Yeah. That's why they stopped at constantinople, never went any further. They didn't march through the heart of the Ottoman empire raping and pillaging, sack antioch, leave the dome of the rock in Jerusalem knee-deep in muslim blood, oh no it was all about constantinople. Oh, wait.

No, 44.1 was an existing standard sample rate. It was chosen to fit VHS videotape from a time when that was used instead of DAT.

That's because you can't spell synaesthesia.
It's what any sane person would want, so why not have it as the default?
