  1. Re:Cell Phones on Are Cell Viruses A Real Threat Now? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Netcraft hasn't confirmed it yet, so it can't be true.

    Sorry.

  2. Just Windows. on Are Cell Viruses A Real Threat Now? · · Score: 5, Informative

    If you are going to quote some one, quote them completely.

    From TFA(emphasis mine):
    "We expect to see more of this on the mobile front," Hypponen said. "We may begin to see Windows viruses spreading to PDAs that are synched up to computers, or go from PCs to mobile phones with the memory card."

  4. Portable Video Projection on The Future of the iPod · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Watching a movie on a 3" screen simply won't cut it for anyone. Except, maybe, on a plane or bus ride. Not for very long though. Maybe that's just me.

    Unfortunately, due to the paradigm surrounding portability, smaller device = smaller viewing area for video.

    Now, what I would like to see is a portable video projection unit the size of an iPod, or similar device. It would cast the video onto a wall, or other surface. It's very important that the device be able to stand on its own (using a stand of course). I don't think I'm alone in not wanting to support it like that.

    Secondly, it needs to be able to interface with many different types of formats. There's no way I'm going to buy separate viewing files so I can watch something I've already bought on my PVP.

    Finally, the device MAY include a speaker, however, it MUST include an interface for headphones, or external speakers, along with the ability to disable the internal speaker.

    Do all this, and, they'll sell wonderfully.

    Excuse me, but how do you infer that MediaServices, Inc. is associated with the Russian mafia?

    Actually, a global market does improve the world. More options = more competition = better economy = better living.

    I may be an idiot, but least I'm no fool. You can stick with your DRM-laden iTunes-only files. I'd like to be able to play my files in Linux, if you don't mind.

  6. That still does not answer my question! on Jobs Resists Music Industry Pressure · · Score: 1

    Thank you for that wonderful FAQ snippet that I've already read, twice.

    It still does not explain how a corporation, MediaServices, Inc., can sell items that are under US copyright cheaper than a US company can sell the items. Is this a good example of how the RIAA's pricing scheme is unbalanced?

  7. allofmp3.com on Jobs Resists Music Industry Pressure · · Score: 1, Informative

    No, I'm no advertiser.

    http://allofmp3.com/ does it right. Not only can you select what format you want (MP3, OGG, FLAC, many, many, others), the prices are based soley on the size of the resulting file. On average the price is $0.02 USD per megabyte. I purchased 5 songs last night for only $0.54. However, I could have gotten the same 5 songs in FLAC format for only $2.50.

    Why couldn't iTunes do the same?

    Well...

    1) Microsoft is an American company
    2) Linux was developed outside of America. According to wikipedia, Linus developed it as he attended the University of Helsinki (And no, this Institution isn't in America)

    The difference is that Linux has been adopted outside of Europe, and Microsoft is positioning itself outside of America.

    Intel's formal response came nine weeks after A.M.D. accused Intel of unfair pricing and rebates, and of coercing customers to prevent them from using A.M.D. microprocessors. At 63 pages, the Intel rebuttal was 15 pages longer than the lawsuit itself.

    Yes!! I am getting this error as well, and have been working furiously to fix it, with no luck!

    I was told that the problem was that I hadn't compiled Gaim with any sort of SSL, such as GnuTLS. Look here: http://gaim.sourceforge.net/faq-ssl.php#q25

    I've followed these directions (the source ones, that is) without any luck. However, the gnutls plugin was compiled, Gaim just wont use it!
