Thanks for that. I actually don't recall whether they were playing a CD or radio at the time; I assumed it was radio since they had a favorite station that I do recall.
As a former restaurant manager, this isn't news to me - though the setting is different.
I was once approached by a BMI agent about the music playing in the kitchen for this same reason. ASCAP and BMI will go after restaurants for royalties from jukeboxes, or bands playing cover songs -- and even your kitchen crew playing their favorite tunes while they work, if it's audible to the customers. That was the stipulation, it had to be quiet enough not to beard from the dining room. Of course, we wanted it that way anyway so as not to interfere with the house music, but on lulls sometimes sound travels.
I thought it had gone too far at that point, without the madness from the RIAA and their relatively recent infringement suits. They've been out of line for a while, folks!
Interestingly, the google.cn link actually does show the famous photo of the protester and tanks. It's 3/4 down on the page, but it's there, linked from club.chinaren.com.
From what I've seen, this trojan isn't even spread as an attachment. It's simply a link within an email, spoofed to some credible URL. You click it, and a download begins under the facade of an 'authentication program'.
His problem isn't the tweaking, it's the stuff he can't tweak. Like the network stack, and other issues. He even describes how he put in the hard time with Vista and put up with the tweaking.
At least with Linux, once you've tweaked something, it stays tweaked -- For better or worse:)
A RAID 5 of these may make you drool from a capacity standpoint, but it looks like for bang-for-the-buck, WD's Caviar 16SE 750GB spanks the new Hitachi consistently. If you RTFA, you'll see that Caviar come out on top most of the time.
It reads more like a Western Digital advertisement than a Hitachi review:)
Because it's pretty impossible to build a truly open machine these days. What difference does it make if it's a proprietary generic PC, or proprietary Apple iMac?
It's funny, but you're right! All you have to do is switch ports and Windows takes its time shuffling drivers around before you can log in. Grrr wtf is the difference?
Amen. The best example is a web browser underneath, with a set of instructions. Have a shell on top to do your work and just use the scroll wheel over the browser to scroll... Focus doesn't change. I love it and try to do it all the time on OS X and Windows.
Forget eBay, the submitter just wants to be told what to do...
Even 7-11 and WalMart have pre-paid bare-bones cell phones these days! Did this really have to be asked? I know there's a big movement on./ for simple, long lasting phones (and I'm sympathetic to the idea myself) but honestly, it isn't hard to find a simple cheap phone.
FWIW, Google Apps can actually act as a relatively good intermediary between MS Office and OpenOffice. If your DOC or XLS has a lot of bizarre formatting, Google Docs/Spreadsheets serves as a filter to 'dumb it down'.
Upload to Google, save back to disk, and voila -- something that works nicely in OO.

Check the list ;) or add your own...

Compiz and Beryl came way before Vista's release, buster.
Admittedly, many of the composite features are similar to what's been available in MacOSX for a while, but it's hardly a ripoff of Exposé.

Must.. resist.. joke about "squirting"..
Surprisingly little. Here's the deal:
Single User Licenses
xv is shareware for personal use only. Common misconception.
The funny part isn't really the specs on the machines, it's the fact that they have a rapping professor and a do-wop trio of girls to back him up.

Excuse me while I go gouge my eyes...

Absolutely! Nex is great fun, and the community is growing.

Wow! How can I get that popular?
Of course it had to be solved. And you call yourself a geek!
Had it not been for Intel, we'd never have had Linux... Too bad they don't get any credit either.
WTF is your point? Where do you draw the line with whom to credit innovation?
Is it really? About the only part I can't buy on my own is the case. If you do a lspci on any macbook or imac, you see very familiar chipsets.

He was referring only to Jim Gray, I believe.

Good lord! That's the biggest block of blinking text I've seen since '99!
There might be a difference between a software project and a hardware company based in different countries, wouldn't you think?
