Really, I thought because a girl got abducted out of a parking lot recently that meant that all parking lots across the country were unsafe, filled with murders.
At least that's what the media seems to want me to believe...
Apple owns HFS+, they could include a windows driver for HFS+ in iTunes if it made sense. ZFS is hugely complex (Val, now a linux kernel engineer who worked on it, gave a talk at our local LUG), and porting it would I imagine be much harder than something (HFS+) that in some form has existed since ~1985...
I don't know enough about how the eye works, but it seems like it would be possible to send most of visible spectrum to the eye and have it appear white. Say you strip out a narrow band of blue light. I imagine your eye would still perceive the light to be "white". Now using only filters between you and that "white" lightsource, display that shade of blue that's missing.
At least that's what I think the GP post is trying to say.
I agree about the $500 'upgrade' from the lower-end 15" to the upper. But for me, the upgrade in screen size, and the ability to drive a larger (dual-dvi) external monitor on the 15" (plus FW-800) make it worth it to get the low-end 15". I do wish there was a $100 upgrade option to get to 1680x1050 or whatever resolution the 'hi-rez' 15" screen would be though...
I won't buy another HP nor Epson printer, the HP color AIO we had decided the ink cartridge was too old, and then when replaced for ~$50 (large cart. from costco), there was an error on LCD indicating (according to google searches) that a weak gear had broken and the printer was useless. The multiple epsons we had would gum up unless used constantly. I did some research and ended up with a Brother AIO. The printing seems to work fairly well, but the scanning software is crap. It will often claim to be unable to contact the device while the configuration software can access it just fine. I'd cross Brother off my list, but I discovered that if I put a flash memory card in the printer, I can scan to the card and then access the card via FTP from my mac. That's good enough for me.
Scandal? WTF are you talking about? It's a scandal when they lead us into a quagmire of a war and kill more US citizens than 9/11 did. This is just science, no one will give a shit about it enough to cause a scandal in the first place...
The version on my wifes Core 2 Duo 15" macbook pro seems to work ok, but she just uses it for one program 'Marketing Plan Pro', and even that not too often.
I'll agree that if you're on a Mac, then stripping the DRM is a hassle, but on a windows box, it's just one command to run and strip your whole library. Of course it does take 'realtime' to strip them.
Another poster pointed out this site: http://www.religioustolerance.org/texas.htm Which talks about a 1961 ruling by the Supreme court that seems to strike down any such religious tests. So, luckily the constitutionality has already been decided.
Nope. pushing 40. Just tired of morons who are way too willing to give up rights to tin-pot dictators.
Why not?
Well, mostly because of how public schools are funded. Since most public schools get federal funding, they are covered by federal laws about a student's right to an education.
So he was an accessory.
That wasn't shown to any certitude, according to the article (and the quote from the judge).
The main thing that bothers me is that is seems that this is the only kid who got in trouble. If that was my son, he'd have hell to pay. One of the most important things a parent needs to teach their offspring is respect. And that video shows a complete lack of it.
Well, the "kid" was 18, so it's possible he wasn't even living at home and you'd have had shit-all to say about it. And as I said, the kid in the video wasn't the kid in court, so the video didn't show a lack of respect by the kid who was suspended. Unless you count linking to a video you think is funny shows disrespect. Not to mention, from the video it didn't appear that the teacher did much to earn any respect.
Greylisting worked really well for me, but I've been starting to get spammers that retry (not sure if they are retrying the same message, or a new one, since my greylisting software just goes by IP, not the tupple), so I've been meaning to feed back IPs from mails I identify as spam into the greylisting software and have it dark-dark-gray list them...
No, not the power, the loss of use of the table mostly. That is, if I come in and buy nothing but a cup of coffee, but use the table at lunch time, and patrons who'd spend much more money have to wait, or worse go elsewhere, then the cafe is worse off than if I just stayed in the car.
coming into the cafe, buying a cup of coffee, plugging in my laptop and camping on a table for an hour would cost the cafe a lot more than me parking outside and using the same 'amount' of wifi.
If the cafe didn't want people outside using the wifi, there are many ways to prevent it, from a sign stating the wifi is for customers only, a password of the day at the register, to sign-ins tied to their check (bill) number or something.
You are an idiot. First, the public school district doesn't have a right to suspend a student for as long as they want.
Second, according to the article, the suspended student may not have been involved in the filming at all. He's not the student seen making 'rabbit ears' behind the teacher, and you can't know if he was the student running the camera.
He was targeted by the school board because of a link to the video on his myspace page. From the article:
U.S. District Judge Marsh Pechman's analysis of the case was short and to the point on Monday: "Was he involved or not?"
Pechman said she would determine that fact. And the judge seemed to take a dim view toward the school district's "conspiracy" theory that holds that although Requa may not have been present for the shooting of the video, he shares responsibility as much as if he were there.
I'm not hurting myself, I just have more money to spend on things I _want_ to spend money on. Currently, _for_me_, the value isn't there, mostly because of the issues with DRM and competing standards. I'm not afraid to spend money, I make plenty. I've got a home theater setup (~7-8 years old now though). I've got a bunch of computers, multiple servers, wired and wireless networks. But for now, HDTV doesn't interest me. If DRM went away, I'd probably do what a friend did and build a ~$5k mythtv-based video server and get a HDTV projector (I'm done with moving large TVs, even flat ones). But until the content producers stop treating me like a criminal, especially when the true criminals have no trouble getting around the "protections", I'm just not interested.
Are all dead to me. That's right, they skipped right past being put "on notice".
Get rid of the DRM, work out a _single_ rational standard for the cables and the disks, and I _might_ be interested in HDTV. Until then, I'll just keep ignoring it and pay attention to the _content_, rather than the presentation.

Thanks. +1 informative :-)
Damn, those are nice CMS's...
Yeah, that's what I care about in that photo, the CMS...right.
You may not see this, but if they are far cheaper to mass produce, why is their reason for no LED 17" that it's not "economically feasible"?

If you know anyone who works or worked at microsoft, you can get a full copy of windows for ~$30.
Heh, newbie 5-digit members...

I'd go with definition 2: a difficult, precarious, or entrapping position
though definition 1 didn't say swamp, it said unsteady ground.

But I _still_ can't get GRUB to load it...I _still_ have to use this useless 'linux thingy' to invoke it!
Won't someone please help me with replacing my Symbolics machine?

Why, are you too lazy to strip the DRM?
Oh, religious people like Ted Haggard and Jim and Tammy Faye Baker?
