The sound you end up hearing is decoded by the receiver, so no audible fading but you may end up with some signal loss instead if it's very weak. I have only listened to DRM on shortwave a few times, but it was quite shocking how clear it was. Weak stations maintained the clarity as long as enough data was received.
Uh, he didn't. The company was close to bankruptcy when he took the reigns, and much of this happened after the announcement that Microsoft would put in $150 million. They also paid a farther, undisclosed sum which had quite a bit to do with legal battles, both patent infringement and stolen code.
Despite losing $850 million the year before, over a billion dollars in 1997--of which around 600 million was related to buying NeXT, and suffering a billion dollar drop in revenues between 1997-1998, Apple mysteriously managed to maintain its investments and actually accumulated cash.
It wasn't until 1998 that Apple began selling off its shares in ARM, and those sales took place over several years. Prior to that, how did Apple manage to spend nearly two billion dollars more than it earned across two years, lose 14% of its income, and still manage to sit on the same $1.2 billion in cash without pawning anything?
Apple had over a billion in the bank when Microsoft paid them off.
Paid them off because Microsoft and Intel were caught stealing Quicktime code. Shortly afterwards Apple was able to spend billions they didn't have while not touching their balance, somehow. Then Microsoft publicly paid them the $150 million. Apple was not that close to dead, at that point. It's made for some great stories though.
There has been no evidence presented, he's not been put on any trial. While it is possible he is the victim of a campaign, it is equally possible he is actually guilty of something.
If only Hans Reiser had founded wikileaks, someone would have already broken him out of prison.
It is sad that mere accusations are enough to demand that people step down from just about anything. His life is going to be forever altered for the simple fact that he was accused, even if there ends up being no basis for it. Even if it turns out that it was just the manufactured story of a ruthless reporter and a pissed off chick.
It has been mentioned that he has been dragging wikileaks into this personal situation, for example using the wikileaks twitter feed to promote the idea that he is innocent and the US is running a smear campaign. I do not think he would be asked to step down, especially so publicly, if he had kept his personal life and wikileaks separate.
I assumed it was because they don't want to buy a Windows computer and don't know how to use Linux, *BSD or any of the other alternatives.
Or they do know how to use them but like having a system that just works, out of the box, and yet allows them to mess around with the *nix side of things. Once you open the terminal and install Macports (which is not an Apple project, but hosted by Apple) there's very little difference in actual usage.
Microsoft, among other things, was paying for Apple to end a lawsuit over stolen Quicktime code that Intel/MS used to speed up video on Windows. They paid a lot more than 150million, that was just the bit made public.
USB does daisy chaining up to five levels deep. You can plug a hub into a hub into a hub and it will function, as will the devices connected to it (obviously these should be powered hubs).
I don't think anybody releasing code under public domain is operating under the expectation that people who use it will necessarily share that source. You accept that it may be used in any and all circumstances, including evil closed source projects. That's kind of the idea.
A patched version IS a different piece of software. You cannot download vanilla linux kernel source and use it to replace the Android kernel without extensive patching. This is not the same situation as configuring compilation options and really the issue has nothing to do with the resulting binaries.
You have posted a bunch of FUD. I have never met an Ubuntu user (at least, that installed it themselves) that *didn't* know they were using Linux, open source software, Gnome etc. Canonical and Ubuntu have done no lies. They explain open source and their relationship to Debian on their main page.
You don't understand do you. This is just the beginning. That kind of power is like a black hole. The closer you get the less control you have till you just can't break free. Who watches these people? Don't tell me Congress will watch them. They don't have a fucking clue. You'd better to be ready to fight for your civil liberties./tinfoilhat
I haven't seen anything saying a program itself did anything without a password. Most likely scenario is developer got password through some other means, put up all these random apps, and began purchasing them.
Who cares? Probably Verizon. Maybe they like the idea of phones that sell 1.7 million in three days, along with the two year contracts and high ETFs to go with them. Droid sold what, 400,000 its first week?
Not to mention the huge number of Verizon customers who "would get an iPhone, if only it was on Verizon." They could probably get a ton of them to pay a premium for an "early upgrade" to an iPhone.

Ah this again.

The (annotated) story, if you're actually interested.

Ironically, you're fighting a losing battle. The masses have just drifted too far.
Most updates bring new functionality, new EULA is used to cover the terms of new functionality. I do not see a problem here.
You're an adolescent who happens to have that body type. Keep it up and it will catch up with you as your metabolism slows down through your 20s.
Me too, since I just rearranged my columns to match your preferred setup and had no problem moving the song name.

Misread parent, although not using IE is still pretty standard, no?
Good thing they're not running Windows or Internet Explorer.
Victim prerequisites:
* Internet Explorer.
* XP,Vista,W7.
* Apple Quicktime 7.x, 6.x ( 2004 versions are also vulnerable, older versions not checked )
I agree, ##[A\A]0X83E88DD2#AVA very important.
Crap. I now have a wonderful backup of my corrupt filesystem.

And linux is just the kernel, it is not the "Full OS" - The OS is GNU.

"Your password has expired"
"Your password is too similar to your last password"
"Your password much be entirely different than the previous 50 passwords"
Read reply in context. There is no pretending they are number one, they are not. They are, however, a customer magnet.
Who cares? Probably Verizon. Maybe they like the idea of phones that sell 1.7 million in three days, along with the two year contracts and high ETFs to go with them. Droid sold what, 400,000 its first week?
