Also, stop pushing the normalized volume of the recording so fucking high that it clips out and sounds like crap. Master them lower and retain audio fidelity, thanks.
Hear hear. What I wouldn't give to have some new music mastered as well as Pink Floyd used to be.
The purpose of Data Privacy Day is to raise awareness and promote data privacy education with a particular focus towards teenagers. Rather than total data abstinence, we recommend they wear data condoms before exchanging their "information".
I think RMS would be more concerned with the trends towards universities developing proprietary systems (software et al.) that they sell. Academia is not the great hive of open source love it used to be.
As far as I can tell, this only increases their liability. Services providers have typically received immunity from the actions of their users, so long as there is a clear line between the service provider and the actions of their users. By blurring that line, it only opens them up to further liabilities. Universities learned this the hard way by giving in to the RIAA.
How about an update that allows you to create an actual workout routine? Seems to me it currently takes longer to cycle through the menus than it does to actually do most of the workout activities...
First of all, all of those flavors were available for Vista as well. Starter was only marketed for emerging markets.
Second of all, all of those builds have been available since the early days of Windows 7. This isn't something they recently added in to 7025, it's been there the entire time as a carry-over from Vista.
Just because these versions are randomly available in a pre-release version of an OS doesn't mean they'll still be there by the time it's actually released.
I've used the Oyster cards mentioned and they are pretty neat. They can store up to £90 of credit, which can be used to pay as you go, plus your Travelcard or Bus & Tram Pass. You can use them on any bus, Tube, trams, DLR, London Overground and some National Rail services in London.
A Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is a state of matter of bosons confined in an external potential and cooled to temperatures very near to absolute zero. Bosons are just elementary particles which obey Bose-Einstein statistics. Bose-Einstein statistics determine the statistical distribution of identical, indistinguishable bosons over the energy states in thermal equilibrium.
Pricewaterhouse Coopers is a huge company and actually audits 40 percent of companies in the FTSE 100 Index. They audit everyone from aerospace & defence contractors to general retailers and chemical goods manufacturers. Scary news.
It's quite logical, when you think about it... the YouTube videos, while there are many, are just a taster. Even if many clips from an episode or a TV show are uploaded, you can't get the whole thing in its original form. It's true that the sketch show nature of Monty Python helps, but I think we can apply this thinking to a lot more stuff. Once you've had a taste and you like it, you inevitably want more.
If you haven't tried any of them yet, give 'The Color of Doom' a shot. Not only do you get the Serious Sam-style hordes of enemies, but it's a source mod so it looks pretty good for the time. The humor ain't as great as Portal, but it's not bad.
every Mac application is an MDI application, only the outer "application" window is always maximized and always transparent, with its menu always at the top of the screen.
The crux of the issue is that the Mac UI (and the NEXTSTEP UI) has always been application-centric from day 1. All multi-document Mac applications work in the same way: Alt+Tab to switch applications, Alt+` to switch documents.
Document-centric UIs, on the other hand, don't scale well, and that has led both the Windows OS and its applications to try to fake it one way or another, by grouping task bar icons, staying alive in the sys-tray, etc.
If you were to ask me personally, I'd say it was stupid and unconstitutional for the government to regulate the game video games business. It's the usual story of government trying to trample on our civil liberties and individual rights.
On the other hand, as somebody who feels that there are certain types of games minors definitely should not be playing, I wish we would see more self-regulation from the games and retail industry, or at least some serious attempts to keep games out of hands of minors without the ESRB.
A significant danger is the risk of plutonium being acquired (stolen or bought) by a well-equipped terrorist group, criminal organization, or national government with militaristic ambitions. Any such organization can fabricate an atomic bomb, using a grapefruit-sized piece of plutonium, without undue difficulty or expense.
I for one am understanding of their need to generate revenue to maintain the excellent service. Especially they go to some of the background or portable options they've hinted at before, audio ads may be the only way to do that. I heard the McDonald's ad and considered it far less intrusive than the types of ads I get on other "free" Internet radio services. If they can design all their ads like that--NPR style, so to speak--and not make them constant interruptions to them music (start up and/or change of station are good ideas), then I say go for it. If that helps keep Pandora free and improving, I'm all for it.

Get Out of Sprint Free

· Score: 4, Informative
I used this same tactic for Verizon last year when they adjusted their international text message fee. This is how I was able to leave Verizon and join Sprints SERO plan. I LOVE IT. Can't beat the price and I've had nothing but good coverage and service from them.
"Identity theft protection is appropriate when there is enough personal information lost that identity theft is possible," he said. "In this case, the amount of information we know they did not get is long enough that except in very circumscribed cases identity theft is just not possible."
This is a good analysis. Don't listen to the guys below who are just saying YES RAH RAH OPEN SOURCE and who have never worked in IT or had to deal with managers howling at them when a 10 year old document won't open correctly in a new software package.
I love open source too, but let's be realistic here.
It's important to note that this decision does not directly affect the thousands of civil cases that the RIAA has launched against accused copyright violators. Dove was convicted as a criminal copyright offender where restitution is a consideration, while the RIAA's civil suits can ask for monetary damages determined on an entirely different scale.
If you have access to a plotter, Graphviz gives you a great deal of flexibility with regards to how big these images can physically be. Maybe you could consider posing them up on the wall and having a roundtable session at your office.
Javascript is just one more language, but it's a VERY popular language and a hell of a lot more people know it and use it then C# or GNU-C or anything else. Gnome is about providing a programming environment for normal people to use and if Javascript allows that then they will use it. However...
Gnome's base libraries are C and probably are always going to be programmed in C. This is because C is very universal.. it's relatively easy to port to other platforms and it's able to be included in most other langauges as modules.
It's an ideological thing, nothing more. For us nerdy types, who cares what browser is bundled with the OS as long as the user has full choice to download and use whatever browser we want. The problem is that people are lazy and will use whatever is bundled because it is already there. IE gains marketshare just because nobody cares enough to switch.
But you're right. Practically speaking, who cares.

Downadup and other such similar worms exploit a vulnerability in the Windows Server service: Server Service Vulnerability -- CVE-2008-4250
The vulnerability is detailed by October 23rd's Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-067.
