The suits probably have a great deal of influence over what gets played, but since commercial radio is still largely an old boys network people have control over various operations for various reasons other than actual skill.
Now, when 95% of the world's computers are functionally similar, only cutting-edge industrial design, packaging, and marketing will differentiate them.
Not to the 95% of the world's population for whom price is a bigger factor.
computer engineers also have to deal with circuit design. we don't want programmers! the only thing more dangerous than a EE with a compiler is a programmer with a screwdriver (or a vhdl compiler, or an fpga, blah blah)
despite the parent being totally off-rocker on remix culture, he does have a point. remixes are typically works-for-hire, so the original artist retains copyright on the remix recording.
I was countering the claim that this was a lie by yahoo to cover their having deleted the account already, so I was suggesting alternate (and seriously difficult) reasons why Yahoo may be resisting.
Oh.
This is why we quote things on the internet, mister.
the family will need to prove that the yahoo mail account is property, and as such becomes part of your estate when you die, so you can will it to someone. what happens to property that's not in your will when you die?
i think yahoo is just covering up that they already dleted the account, honestly.
apple did do that for the old mac clones. (in fact, many of them were apple motherboards or apple motherboard designs in the first place!) i'm sure the 3DO company did that for all the 3DO consoles that were released, and that nintendo did it for the panasonic gamecube.

you can make electronic music without using a computer. there are standalone sequencers very well suited to live work, and rather economical as well.
Frankly, I think the W3C should act like supreme overlord and take a bullwhip to all browser developers who can't stay up to standard.
How do you propose they do that? Imposing fines? What can they do besides endorse something?
Unfortunately, the laws they reference have to do with computer controlled radio stations, not wireless networks.
Are you talking computer controlled transmitters or computer controlled music programming?
ok, what does this have to with chewing gum?

as you say yourself, not all mp3 players are functionally identical! pcs are getting close though.

which is EXACTLY what the dept. of ed shill should have done.
what really worries me is that the dude thinks he didn't do anything wrong.
i'd like to think that people realized that moxie TASTES FCKIN AWFUL
Right, and since the site is slashdotted I can't check to see which CC license they're using. :)

Typically the original artist has the copyright on a remix, actually, so yes, he probably is still the copyright holder.
I wouldn't be surprised if the recent CBS firings have somebody's knickers in a twist.
No. Chuck D and/or the record label is the copyright holder, and they can license that content however they wish.
ah, the correct answer, explained for laymen.

but why do you call yourself a moron in your sig?

I don't see how those are counterexamples of anything. Can of worms, sure.
it might not be that simple if yahoo claims they are providing a service and all your message are belong to them

During the World Cup 2002, there was an editorial cartoon with a little boy watching television:
BOY: LES BLEUS, they...they scored!
HIS DAD: Relax kid, it's only a commercial.
(for the ignorant, the French team, the defending world cup champions, did not score a single goal during the world cup finals!)
apple did do that for the old mac clones. (in fact, many of them were apple motherboards or apple motherboard designs in the first place!) i'm sure the 3DO company did that for all the 3DO consoles that were released, and that nintendo did it for the panasonic gamecube.
how can something as generic as a usb keyboard not work with a standard usb hid driver? that's embarassing for either the driver or the keyboard maker
or seeing a car carrier trailer and thinking "crazy jump!"
