The LADSPA plugin VLevel seems to be precisely what you want.
From the website:
VLevel keeps your music from making you jump out of your seat, and it keeps you from having to fiddle with the volume constantly. It's different from other dynamic compressors because it looks ahead. You can think of VLevel as someone who knows your music by heart, and turns the volume up during quiet passages, but smoothly turns it back down when he knows a loud part is coming. It's great for making CDs to listen to in your car, or to play background music on your computer.
Not sure if they have these things in places that aren't Austria, but you get a cart, get in the (regrettably sometimes long) line, the cash register person says 'Gruß Gott' and the items whiz by on the way back into your shopping cart! Apparently they can even work on the next customer while the first is scanning their credit card.
Billa is only slightly worse because they have that "Billa Heute, das Beste für mich!" ad that plays over the intercom.
And to boot, Hofer's got basically the cheapest prices on goods that I've seen in Vienna.
You could always try shooping from tesco.com, or just go to Sainsburys if you dont like the (IMO high level of) customer service from the UK's most popular supermarket.
Shooping? Maybe we're talking about different things here...
Ken Thompson has an automobile which he helped design. Unlike most automobiles, it has neither speedometer, nor gas gauge, nor any of the other numerous idiot lights which plague the modern driver. Rather, if the driver makes a mistake, a giant "?" lights up in the center of the dashboard. "The experienced driver," says Thompson, "will usually know what's wrong."
Maybe this is one of those sarcastic posts but:
Having punishments be disproportionate to the crime doesn`t really help anyone, but more importantly, it doesn`t really make a whole lot of sense to use execution in a system of such fallibility. I`m not putting some infinite value on human life, but if we assume that there is a finite value given to it by the general society, and that value is high, then only a near-perfect judgement system could really use the execution system, because otherwise, the cost outweighs the benefit.
Well quite simply, no one is getting killed here. The apparent reason is that since the recording industry owns the copyright, they can let whomever they want do whatever they want with it. It does not say explicitly that the Bibliothek is breaking the copy protection, only that it is copying the material, which it is allowed to do. If it's breaking the protection as well, and it is indeed a criminal offense, then there might be some question as to equality here. From the article it appears that the companies are indeed allowed to make exceptions, so nothing to see here, move along.
Actually, it is. The primary purpose of open-source programming is most likely to signal potential employers that the programmer has real skill. It looks good on a resume and separates a programmer from other programmers without such skills. As such, popularity is the primary goal of an open source project.
The entire idea of functions, in most programming, is to hide complexity and allow reuse. Your analogy fails, because in a program, the wires probably would fit, along with the spark plugs. For instance, you have a function sort() which sorts an array. You decide to reimplement this function with a faster sorting algorithm. It still works exactly the same to the rest of the program, only faster.
Although you are partially correct, and, with bad abstraction, the rest of the program would have to know about the way the function works and this change would have to be accounted for. However, it is more likely that the function simply required different parameters and, thus, was not the same function to the rest of the program.
X's Drive is a product that basically allows this, but without an external power source, and the advantages of still being able to use flash cards. Just get a couple of flash cards for your camera, and carry the hard drive around and it is unlikely you will run out of space.
I guess my point is that signing in shouldn't be any trouble, that's just inefficient. The cost of usage for the interface should be insignificant, what you should be considering is if the pack of 5 Bruce Lee bobblehead dolls are really worth $2.95, which is really more like $3, plus S+H which brings it to a minimum of $6, then you have to consider the utility you get from these dolls, which can be roughly approximated to be zero for anyone like me.
Er, but why should we have to manage a database of passwords and logins and personal data, when it can all be automated? If you _really_ need that time to think, how about just getting out a blank sheet of paper and covering it in non-sensical ramblings. Those of us who would rather not repeat such useless actions over and over will be doing other things.
Is a VFS module for samba called File Ext Map. It takes a share, and a file indicating what conversions to perform, and then converts the files on the fly when called. I haven't got it to work with Samba 3, but in theory, you just set up a share of your flac files, and it would show them as ogg files, for instance.
If you're not trying to write a document and merely want to put words on a page, how about not using a word processor? Saying that TeX does a bad job of making arbitrary text layouts is kinda like saying that modern cars do a bad job of flying so everyone should use gliders.
The first program that comes to mind is Adobe Pagemaker, but any vector drawing program like Inkscape or a layout program like Scribus would be much better.
It's not so much they the birds are being killed as that the turbines are freeing up bird prey for all the birds smart enough to not run into stuff. I don't think the turbines are going out of their way to kill birds.
I can see the headlines already:
Pigeons wiped out by wind turbines! Only less-dumb birds survive Avian Apocalypse!
I don't think that more government is exactly 'progressive', but besides this oversight, how are state and local goverments going to lose funding for more important services as VoIP takes off? If they actually end up collecting less tax money (which I seem to recall being something that Americans are all for), then I think they would be losing money for the *less* important services that no one really cares about. If they actually got less tax money overall, I think they would have to do a better job with what they have, and I'm all for efficiency.
With current live cd generation tools, however, this should be quite possible. Or even just Knoppix with a USB keychain (assuming it comes with RDesktop or the USB drive contains it)
I doubt the people that stole the game are complaining -- the people whose keys were hacked or stolen now have disabled accounts with little or no recourse.
The people who stole the game are probably not complaining because they did not get caught. Anyone who stole a copy of the game has a perfectly working cd set and key, since the store does not deactivate the cd keys of stolen merchandise.
Those who downloaded a copy of the game (which is not the same as stealing a copy), don't mind so much because, hell, they didn't pay anything for it. I mean, they might complain, but only the really dumb ones.
I mean, how do you prove that you purchased the game? The UPC? You can read that off a box at any store.
How do people who stole/bought the game prove their validitiy? Pretty simple as explained in the other posts. On the Steam site itself, it states that you may have to mail them your original cd key.

That's not quite the same thing.
Hofer is where it's at.

Thank god we had all those extra laws to stop the evil cracker. God knows what might have happened otherwise...

Obviously, the movie "start" time is the time at which you are supposed to "start" leaving your house to go to the theater.

I suggest that you invest in some paragraphs.
You misspelled 'SSH.'

You mean like NetHack? Wait a minute...
