Famous Hollywood producer and director Steven Spielberg will include a new crew member to the enhanced version of the "Jaws". "Jar Jar" will be a computer generated addition to the fishing boat Orca. Spielberg said 'Jar Jar will give a much needed contrast between the updated action scenes in the film' and promised that the film would be suitable for wider audiences.
At least two of the AOL users have been identified by name in press accounts, and people have speculated about the identities of others on various Web sites.
There was also an article at theregister, but I couldn't find it.
In your situation I would definitely get better equipment and in this case a better multi-io sound card or breakout box. Routing the audio through a mixer and few input cards sounds like a way too complex setup. Your own words were "This method has been very buggy".
If you buy one good multi-io card you can skip the mixer, skip any extra mic-preamps and drop the extra sound cards. With one card and a suitable recording software you'll get perfect multitrack recording.
I blame the recording industry and its marketing. Popularity might breed popularity, but unfortunately marketing bypasses "real popularity". Unfortunately there are still artists making music which isn't spoiled by even if the system tries its best.
You're right, I could have lied about my identity. But CastrTroy was right, that was about a principle. I support things which I like and I don't support things which I don't like. I hope that in the long run market forces will make the "good" things flourish and drive the "bad" things/companies/whatever out of business. For example: Sony bad, open source good. When enough people start making conscious choises the companies might actually start caring about their customers again.
And for the record, since I'm Finnish I couldn't care less about Bank of America or its offerings, specially if I might get spam from it.
I almost submitted a report about a phishing attack to the Bank of America. What stopped me was that the feedback form required me to submit my email address with the feedback and the feedback page's EULA had something like this in there: "we might use your address to send occasionaly information about our services". I may be paranoid but that translates way too easily to "we will be sending you spam as soon as possible".
And no, I didn't send them feedback on how they could improve their website.
The latest Microsoft mouse drivers (IntelliPoint 5.5) have an assignable mouse function called "Precision Booster". When you click (or hold, depending on the mode) the assigned mouse button, you get 2x precision. Another fancy feature was "Gaming Toggle" which allows you to record key macro on the fly with the mouse. Haven't had the chance to try these, but the added precision will be probably used here:)
Are you sure about that? I can't say for the whole Europe, but at least in Finland Billion is not 10^6. Here's an article about American and British English differences.

Beos source code was bought by Yellowtab

Yellowtab is making an OS called Zeta based on the Beos source and from the looks of it, Zeta is an updated version of Beos. Here's a slashdot post about it.
Variable Bit Rate was first. VBR means mp3s are encoded with variable bitrate where encoder makes guesses about the needed bitrate based on the content. This allows the encoder to allocate more bits for the parts which really need better quality.
After a while people noticed that the changes in the bitrate were in some cases too audible and reduced the illusion and immersion of the encoded audio.
So, Average Bit Rate tries to avoid that by keeping the variable bitrate somewhere around the specified bitrate.
If the OS starts to swap because one program is hogging up all the memory it will slow the machine possibly down what user will percieve as slow. Unused memory like memory leaks should be paged out from the physical memory, but sometimes (read: too often) this is not the case.

Excellent point about the difference between porn-friendly & child-porn-friendly.

Unfortunately only a few audio interfaces support 2 or more mic inputs, but this one from Alesis seems to have 8 http://www.alesis.com/product.php?id=94

The registry branch where the info is stored seems to be constant, so this registry file might work too:
The change takes effect after reboot.Civilization 4 felt really sluggish and cumbersome after Rise of Nations. Can't wait for the next game in the series, Rise of Legends.

If autorun is enabled the rootkit is installed even user doesn't approve the license. Funky.
If a guy gets a 11 billion fine for sending spam, Sony ought to get a bit more for dangering its customers' computers.
I guess Switzerland would keep HTTP to themselves, then, Finland would keep IRC and Linux. Oh and good luck to US of A with Gopher.

Autorunning executables from cds' autorun.inf is the default action in some of Microsoft's OSes.
I do agree on the few bucks approach though.

I don't know how to put this, but have you been told about the birds and the bees? ;-)

Sysinternals' Autoruns is my choice of weapon.
