This makes it easier. Also, you can rip all of your CDs to lossless (which can be a lot harder to find on P2P networks and takes longer to download.)
This seems like a really great idea for a holiday gift for a friend or relative with lots of older CDs or stuff that may be harder to find on P2P. Just get them like a 100-CD gift certificate and they are shipped back DVDs or even an external hard drive with all of their music, album covers, and correctly labeled songs. An MP3 jukebox would be a great way to rekindle interest in CDs that are currently sitting on shelves collecting dust, and would make a cool gift for anyone who likes music.
The article is 15 pages long, and seems to be comprehensive and informative, geared toward massive rollouts at an Enterprise level. That said, here's some more of a quick summary of each product since their servers are melting:
We are a bit shy to admit: after our early successes, we went overboard. Boy, what new gadgets can do to you! Creating a quick brainstorm session in our tech chamber, we tried to come up with questions that one person from the English speaking realm possibly might want to ask when visiting the Japanese videogame store Eldorado, famous Tokyo district: Akihabara. Here are some Talkman results for rather geeky questions that may or may not have been asked before in Japan's ultimate games Mecca:
- Question: "My little brother took my first-edition white Saturn for a dive when showering, can you advise on where I could get replacement parts?" - Talkman results (Shopping): From "Where should I go to pick it up?" to "Where can I find a florist?"
- Question: "As for the rumor of a Scottish checkered edition of Pokemon for NeoGeo Pocket Color existing, can you confirm and would you have stock?" - Talkman results (Shopping): From "Do you have this in a lighter color?" to "It's a little flashy for me."
- Question: "My wireless Commodore64 controller interferes with my neighbour's newly bought lawnmower vehicle, can he sue me for every time his brakes fail?" - Talkman results (Meeting People): From "That was gross!" to "What a surprise!"
1. Notice you are behind a competitor 2. Invent complicated naming scheme so no one truly knows the difference between your products 3. ??? 4. Profit!!!
You may also want to look into the work done on init-ng, it was quite impressive IMO - they slashed the boot time from ~45 seconds to ~25 seconds by shuffling around some stuff and running it in parallel (look at the Boot Charts to see what I mean.)
Good thing we set their server ablaze! Hopefully some of the pieces can be put to better use as space heaters. Slashdot: News for Nerds, Destroying stuff that doesn't matter.
Knowing that at any moment the FBI could come and seize everything you have creates a pretty high barrier to entry to the spam trafficking market, at least in the USA. Every raid the FBI makes raises the bar a little bit. Eventually could this cause some other spammers to rethink their choice of lifestyle? Or alternatively, cause more spammers to move offshore, with the risk of having your entire netblock effectively shut off to mail servers?
Cracking down on spammers by the FBI is great. If they do business in the USA, it becomes a question of when, not if they will be shut down and in jail. We can handle the filtering and education part of the War on Spam, and the FBI can handle theirs.
So has anyone figured out how to build a TiVo equivelent for $200, untill then I'm sticking with my TiVo.
Remind me in a few years, when the cost of your Tivo + subscription is more than you would pay for a linux + myth box. Also, I'd rather not be at the whim of some company who can reintroduce (their own!) commercials into the programming with the flick of a switch, and will also likely have intense pressure to support things like the broadcast flag.
Anyways, don't just blow off the other solutions because yours has better short term gain.
(P.S. I added Myth to my Gentoo box, and all it took was a few hours and a $70 tuner card, but YMMV...)
On the contrary, I believe the absence of software patents is a good thing. It insures that any GPL'ed code will be completely free of any patent BS, making adoption by corporations more likely, since they don't have to worry about frivolous lawsuits from what should already be Free software. End users should know exactly what they are getting when software is unter the GPL.
Remember, there are always alternative licenses for those that have patents. The GPL is not the end all be all (or whatever.)
Haha, so the real answer was: the SMS was typed in quicker, but the network latency of sending an SMS message made it arrive 12 seconds too late:)
Anyways, here's the breakdown: Morse message: 948 units of time / 50 elements per word (PARIS) = ~19 words / 1.5 minutes: 12.67 wpm.
SMS message: ~23 words / 1.8 minutes: 12.78 wpm.
(Special thanks to KEdit find/replace and wc)
The SMS slang version is only saves 15% from the original message, which is also interesting.
Therefore, the whole test is bogus - they take the same amount of time. (actually, I bet the ops sent the code at ~40wpm, but it took a while to write it down onto paper. A better test would have been to have the sms receiver convert back into proper english:-)
But, yeah, morse code is awesome anyways. Another LOL from TFA: "I send about three messages a day," she said. "I used to send lots more but I ran out of credit.":) Remember, kids, with Morse Code there is no "credit"!
Plus, meetin.org is free to join. Seems like having your business based solely on a simple website is a recipe for failure (and they are following it quite well.)
Not just sad - it will set a very dangerous precedent for all Linux corporate offerings in the future! Think - Novell, one of the largest networking software companies, having the final nail in the coffin being hammered in by choosing Linux.
How would that statement sound in the mind of a PHB? "Linux = doomed software companies" is a particularly nasty association when making a platform decision (even though going with Linux was probably the right solution, rather than continuing with NetWare.)
I don't know if they can pull out of the slump, but we should support Novell any way we can, as it stands as one of the largest allies Linux (and the OSS community) has today. To see Novell's downfall will definitely weaken Linux's corporate desktop offering.
They will probably be on the same network they were on, just with different OS software. If it worked then, why wouldn't it work the same now? I highly doubt they will be on an open network, that would be an incredibly stupid mistake on their part...
Wells Fargo's webATM(R) machines feature six language screen options;
customizable fast-cash amounts and MyATM(R) receipt preferences; access to 22
financial accounts; the highest level of security; and colorful, large font
touch-screens that make it easier to navigate from screen to screen.
Haha but then won't it be funny when the big US corps pass a law that says in effect, 'no importation of possible patent-infringing source'? That's when you buy your plane ticket and sell your house.

No, give me a more obscure time reference, since that is after the milk in my fridge expires...
Is that before the bananas on the counter spoil? Or maybe when my bread starts growing mold?
Get with the program, concrete date references are out of style now!

Seems like a non-event.This page http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Initng has instructions on using it with Gentoo. Very cool project, worth checking out.

But only if you use Gentoo :)

There [are] so many other ways to get broadband to even the most remote people that over the powerlines doesn't even need to be.

Yeah. Like satellite.
Why not funnel $100M into putting up a GoogleSat? At least we'd have cooler Google Maps and more conspiracy theories
