I think this is a great idea, however I bet that some idiot will not find out about this law, not follow it, lose the data for say, 50 people, get fined and then fight it (because it's cheaper than the fine), and then find it in front of a US court which will idiotically deem it unconstitutional because it interferes with interstate commerce.

I have good coverage in an area where T-mobile has shit, AT&T has shit, everything but Sprint and Verizon has shit for coverage. Sprint has had coverage here for 10 years and Verizon for about 6, with Sprint improving over the course of the past 10 years as well. I often use my Pre in elevators and never run into a problem, even in the basement. There's one place that's a dead zone for me and that's almost a complete Faraday Cage. I can hardly get wifi out of that room with the door open and the router 20 feet away.
And if it's so easy to port proprietary software from Be to OS X or something as you say, than wouldn't that make it reasonably easy to do the opposite?
So if your brother is a clown, does that make you funny?
No, but if a company such as Apple creates a new division named "iPad News" for device that is entirely news-based an iPad, would you expect said division to be a completely different entity? Would you treat as such? I sure wouldn't see it nor treat it as one.
Just because you see them as a viable source of "Fair and Balanced" news doesn't mean that everyone sees it as "The Most Powerful Name in News."
I personally find it all humorous as they are over the top on everything and opinions are exaggerated to the point where it is outrageous. To me, it's a comedy of errors and I just laugh at it, much like I would Stephen Colbert.
Anyway, we're way off topic here and I'm done at this point.
Completely different just like ABC and ESPN are completely different entities...owned by the same parent. They're the same bloody parent and therefore, not so called "completely different entities"...
M-Audio is the Prosumer line. It's the attempt to make something that looks and feels pro, but is cheap enough for the consumer. As a sound guy, buying an M-Audio interface is tat amount to a tech professional with a need for a high quality server buying one of those mac mini servers and calling it a day. Their driver support is awful, half the time the units do not work as advertised. The sound is mediocre. And worst of all, their owned by Digidesign, which is owned by Avid. Digidesign's drivers are the closest thing I've found to a virus in OS X.
That all being said, if you're looking at doing something like this, just get a decent sound card. Most will do 24-bit.
Not my post buddy. I was finding fault with the guy recommending m-audio, which I laugh at anytime someone calls pro anyway...
Regardless, I wouldn't be using an 8 bit card for digitizing vinyl, I'm even suspicious using 16-bit. Furthermore, the idea of just RCA to 1/8" minijacks is missing a couple of things, particularly an RIAA (as much as I hated the organization) EQ (included in Audacity, however a real preamp and eq would make a difference). If there wasn't one in your Technics receiver, or one setup for it, it's probably going to be a big difference.
I think the important thing here (aside from the tragedy of a 3 year old's death, of course) is that tfa is actually placing blame where blame is due. They haven't blamed the games, they've blamed the parent (or step-parent) for leaving the loaded gun on the table. They don't even mention what "shooting" game the 3 year old was used to playing, although, should a 3 year old really be playing any shooting game? Reminds me of the old "Daddy can I play?" difficulty setting on Doom or Duke Nukem or Wolfenstein (I don't remember which one).
Thank you for the link. I was having trouble finding said article. Makes sense now where you're coming from, but still, based on my interpretation of the inflections conveyed, it comes across as satisfaction, not fandom to me.
Ironically, Frank Herbert seems to be one of the movie's biggest fans*.
*Citation need? Here's one stolen from Wikipedia: Rozen, Leah. "With another best-seller and an upcoming film, Dune is busting out all over for Frank Herbert." People Weekly. (25 Jun 1984) Vol. 21 pp. 129-130.
Excuse me, but I'm calling serious bullshit on that! That statement clearly implies that People Weekly thinks that Herbert was doing well with the Dune series because it's showing up everywhere!
Furthermore, contrary to popular belief, Herbert really didn't have much of a hand in writing the final script at all. A la Wikipedia:
In 1981, the nine-year film rights were set to expire. De Laurentiis re-negotiated the rights from the author, adding to them the rights to the Dune sequels (written and unwritten). After seeing The Elephant Man, Raffaella De Laurentiis decided that David Lynch should direct the movie. Around that time Lynch received several other directing offers, including Return of the Jedi. He agreed to direct Dune and write the screenplay even though he had not read the book, known the story, or even been interested in science fiction.[3] David Lynch worked on the script for six months with Eric Bergen and Christopher De Vore. The team yielded two drafts of the script before it split over creative differences. Lynch would subsequently work on five more drafts.
In a slightly later paragraph, Wikipedia notes that Herbert was "satisfied with the final release." I know that I don't consider the phrase satisfied to imply that I'm one of the biggest fans.
You have a crew of nerds here who are all about open source and you refer to your project as "an open source web software project of mine" and are asking for more users?!
You must be new here.
It's kinda sad that you didn't put it in the summary, as others pointed out before me, you really did miss out. Good luck getting it in in the comments, everybody who skims the summaries won't even see it...
Why would somebody spend this time to make a 2009 OS look like 1999 OS??
Did you really just ask that?! Based on that logic, why would someone make an N64 emulator? Why should someone work on a PS2 emulator next year? Or a Nintendo 64 one in two years? They're not only making it look like a 10 year old system, they're even trying to make it function like one! Hell, why would someone build a replica car? It'll never be the original!
Burn has been around for years...YEARS. It still bloody supports PANTHER. The last update to panther was in 2005! It still even has G3 support! You obviously don't know how to hunt for software properly. There's also fink, macports, and gentoo on mac that exist and have databases of burning apps, as well as music apps.
Sometimes I wonder about the slashdot crowd's ability to think like a user and just search for it or even how to do it...
Show me the reference in the story of Adam and Eve that states it's an Apple. Why can no one realize that there is no such thing as the forbidden apple from the Garden of Eden.
I personally took the walled garden merely to translate towards the closed off state of OS X compared to Linux (considering this is/.)
Definitely depends on the state. Illinois doesn't have a points system, you can just lose your license for about a year for having at least 2 speeding tickets in 1 year if you don't go to court and don't handle them perfectly. My roommate has been without a license for almost a year now for that very reason.
Seriously, a decent phone camera even. Just get Evernote (differences between premium and free are listed on that page) and take notes by hand then upload them that way. It's even (rather) searchable if your pendmenship is somewhat legible. Just a thought.

Mind you, these were disclosed to Palm so they could fix them before 1.4 was released (at least that's what is claimed in the video).
"According to Variety, Whedon will also rewrite the script for "The Avengers"
But like I said, to each his own. I just hope the technology sticks around so we continue to have this opyion, too.

Any proprietary software on it that can't be moved to OSX or something?
The to all the above is 'no'.
Yeah, RADAR.

Quality soundcards is a bit of an overstatement. Not to mention drivers can be a bitch.
Oh Fox... will you ever be more than a conservative mouthpiece?
Fox News is just like the rest of Fox, pure and simple entertainment. Mostly comedic. The sad part is how many Americans don't understand that.

This happened at Eastern Illinois University sometime last year. It was even worse at EIU as the reason the student was banned and expelled was his status saying, "[on Tuesday] things are going down." That Tuesday happened to be his birthday, with a big party going on at the bowling alley. There also happened to be a major sports conference going on Tuesday night. Simply outrageous action, but... That being said, everything that can be found on the subject has very little to do with what the university states and is almost entirely heresy from the banned former student as the university's policy is to not comment on such occurrences and EIU's journalism is not necessarily the best. Links posted below for interested parties to follow: http://media.www.dennews.com/media/storage/paper309/news/2009/03/03/News/33.Update.Student.Banned.From.Campus.For.Allegedly.Posting.Threats-3656537.shtml http://media.www.dennews.com/media/storage/paper309/news/2009/03/04/News/Student.Threat.Was.A.Misunderstanding-3658414.shtml http://media.www.dennews.com/media/storage/paper309/news/2009/03/05/Opinions/Editorial.Walkers.Banning.Leaves.Questions.Unanswered-3660348.shtml Yeah, break ups happen and making some statement about how much you want to kill your ex happen as well, not that we would know as we all are on /. but still. When someone gets banned and expelled for saying, "in five days things are going down," something's really wrong.
