    The MIT Musical Theatre Group, playing dupes every night!*

    (* everynight except the opener, we apologize for those who must see it first without a dupe.)

  2. Re:How is this different? on Dealing with Digital Music and Vendor Lock-In? · · Score: 1

    The popping and noise floor is what makes a vinyl record. Getting rid of them defeats the coolness of the medium!

  3. Re:One question on IBM Slows the Speed of Light · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The speed of dark is faster. You can see light coming at you. The problem is seeing the dark coming.

    Thanks.

    Dia is really useful for me since i've been looking for a simple object/flow chart program for a while that wasn't visio and or a trial.

    Dia is a really useful tool, thanks. Care to share anymore about the lesser programs you use?

  6. Re:what?-Under pressure. on Using Cell Phones to Track Traffic · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You touched on the long term uses of these and other traffic monitoring devices, it may not be needed or necessary but it is rather helpful for me.

    I use the real time data every morning to determine whether i take i90 to the office, or i290. I use whichever is the least congested, and or change the time i leave for work. This is one of the main uses of the data i can think of.

    Another is from the traffic data they can usually determine there was an accident before it has even beeen reported, and use the cameras to find out what is happening. They have overhead signs every so often on all main highways. If they post there is an accident ahead, people will be more cautious and/or find alternate routes.

    and that url should have been:

    bad me.

  8. Re:what?-Under pressure. on Using Cell Phones to Track Traffic · · Score: 2, Insightful

    IDOT in the chicago area uses microwave and inductor loop detectors to determine traffic flow and has been doing this for a long time. If you want up to the minute traffic flows, you can go to http://www.gcmtravel.com/

    23.2, one was slightly maimed.

  10. Re:Why not prove it? on Help crack the Java 1.6 Classfile Verifier · · Score: 1

    But proving the software on actual hardware with any possible number of things going on, and with hardware that may or may not contain bugs in its design is much more difficult, if not impossible in the sense it wouldn't be worth it.

  11. Re:My reasons on Why Do People Switch To Linux? · · Score: 1

    Right click and drag in windows explorer (at least winxp, i believe it works in the others as well) and you get a choice what to do with it also.

  19. Re:And How Does This Help Me? on Samsung To Pay Out $300 Million In Anti-Trust Suit · · Score: 1

    The thing that will bake your noodle is people still payed for it even being ignorant to whatever was setting the actual price. If they didn't think it was worth the money, they wouldn't have bought it. So who is right?

  20. Re:OpenOffice.org can write to MSWord format as we on Microsoft Spinning Against OpenDocument Via Fox News · · Score: 1

    I agree with you, except most of the good information also tends to be hidden from the so called 'search' features of state websites. If you know what to look for, and or where to find it on state websites, there is an extraordinary collection of useful data to be found.

    I found this out myself yesterday. I can usually find almost anything online relatively quickly. I was asked to look for a specific highway reconstruction plan set that we submitted and had been modified and put up for contractor bidding from the state website and print them. Unless you knew to look under letting, and knew the date they put it out for letting, and the obscure naming conventions used there was no way to find it.

  21. Re:This is VERY GOOD news on IBM Donates Parts of Rational to Open Source · · Score: 1

    That seems like a really dump way to develop usable programs. So why is this a good thing for them to donate this again?

  22. Re:This is VERY GOOD news on IBM Donates Parts of Rational to Open Source · · Score: 1

    If i remember right A lot of the Rational Unified Process can be made into code by the press of a button. I know at least that most of a uml diagram can be directly processed to code by the computer.

    Since there were writings on giants, i'm sure you could easily argue there were also those on the other end of the spectrum.
