I would like to do that, but I wouldn't trust people to not sit on Kaaza all day on my connection. I would set up m0n0wall or something on a seperate virtual network with a little TOS that they'd have to click through first. It would be a lot of work though, so I've never gone through with it. Besides, there's already an unsecured network within range of me.:D
I think this is great, actually. I only want to rent a movie about once a month tops, so Netflix doesn't do it for me. Plus, when I want to watch it, I want to that night. Movies for me are spontanious. If I could plug my MacBook into my TV and watch that movie I just have to watch tonight without making TWO gas-guzzling trips to the video store, then I'm down.
I just like being able to run Windows software on my Linux box without the hassle of Wine. All the best audio tools are written for Windows and I don't like rebooting to use them.
I dunno. The people who have a non-legit copy of XP and don't know what Linux os OSX is probably have it because a geek friend built their computer. When this happens, hopefully those geeks will just say, "Well, it's time for me to switch you over to Linux".
I've programmed extensivly in Java and JavaScript and I prefer JavaScript + Prototype. There are plenty of advantages of an interpreted language, with the disadvantage of execution speed. By writing JavaScript in Java you get the rigidness of a compiled language with the slowness of an interpreted one... yay!
Kent: With our utter annihilation imminent, our federal government has snapped into action. We go live now via satellite to the floor of the United States congress.
Speaker: Then it is unanimous, we are going to approve the bill to evacuate the town of Springfield in the great state of --
Congressman: Wait a minute, I want to tack on a rider to that bill: $30 million of taxpayer money to support the perverted arts.
Speaker: All in favor of the amended Springfield-slash-pervert bill? [everyone boos]
Speaker: Bill defeated. [bangs gavel]
Kent: I've said it before and I'll say it again: democracy simply doesn't work.
OO seems a lot like HTML to me. It's an XML document that links to external binary files. And I don't know about you guys, but Firefox will open a large HTML document from my local machine pretty fast. I guess it could be faster if HTML was instead a binary format, but I doubt I would even notice.
"mossession::store failed
DB function failed with error number 1062

That's exactly the kind of error message you want to send out to the whole world.:D
Well, the first thing is the 8-space tabs, that's just excessive. Then there's right justifying multi-line strings and function calls: what's wrong with a tab? The differnt brace style for functions and conditionals means that my editor can't help me much there anymore. But all that's just from a cursory glance, I obviosly haven't put a lot of time into this assesment, and don't really feel like doing so.:D
I'm for a set of 4 companies who all together employ about 100 people. Each company has a website. I do the web-programming, one other does the design, and another assists.
Since I'm pretty sure there are no human beings on the planet that can tell the difference between a normal CD and a SACD or DVD-Audio in a blind test (apart from the additional channels, I suppose) this is not the same thing. The comparison between VGA and HD are night and day to a lot of people, so saying that the transition to HD is going to fail like the hd audio attempts is very specious reasoning.
Sorry, that does it for me. 90% of iPod's appeal for me is the size. Where do these companies get off thinking that making a player a couple insignificant features different from the iPod but twice the size and the same price is going to be greeted with anything but apathy?

That's a really good idea to put the dock on the side. I'm going to try that. Seems like a much better use of space with a widescreen display.

Bah. Surfing the web and checking your email is not an "investment".

Who's modding the parent up? He doesn't even know what AAC is. AAC has nothing more to do with Apple then MP3 has to do with iRiver.
Well, with a book it's not called DRM (nothing "digital" about it), but yea, I agree with you completely other then that.

counter = 0;
rows.each(function(row) {
counter++;
row.onclick = function() {
alert("You clicked on row " + counter);
};
});
You can't do cool stuff like that in Java (sytax may be a bit off, but you get the idea).
Ah yes, Mises. The king of handwaving. Got a question for Mises? "The Market" is the answer. :D
PayPal needs some competition though, and Google can probably pull it off. They charge too much for their service.
You can only snipe once, otherwise your just bidding over and over.

Oh God, that coding standard is terrible. I'd hate to have to deal with that all day.
Why is that? You can change a layout a hell of a lot without touching the HTML. body {display: none;}
Because we all know that the only problem with Vista was that there wasn't enough people working on it...

I've installed IE7 and since removed it. It's a rollback-able update.
Am I really the first one to notice that this is just another CTP, not at all unlike the three previous?
Then why do people buy 70-inch plasmas? Wouldn't any run-of-the-mill Trinitron be "good enough"?
