Holy Shit! I'm an average person in America, and I make $28,000 a year. Thanks for telling me that $10,000 of that goes toward healthcare insurance. I had no idea I only had $18,000 to live on.
errr... so you can't save the recording? It's just paused for a long time? WTF? I'm sure you'll be able to get the recorded file if you try but it won't be supported by the software? I guess this means not being able to put on an iPod, burn to CD, etc... This device just got a lot less appealing.
No. Let's try to read this a second time:
With the radioSHARK, you can record what you are listening to at the moment by selecting record, or you can set the radioSHARK to record at a specific date and time. The radioSHARK also allows time-shift recording to "pause" live radio, although this recording [The "Paused" content] cannot be saved as a file.
In other words, you can record, or you can pause, but you can't pause AND record.
The only difference between "dmail" and minor Exchange Server deployment change is that the "dmail" scheme is proprietary and comes with vendor lock-in.
And using an Exchange Server is different how... ?

Accountability is a crucial element of government contracts, and the lack of it in OSS is a deterrant to adoption. Whether or not it's worth a big to do (after all, once somebody's willing to accept accountability for a branch of OSS in exchange for a support fee, it's a moot point) is open to argument. And that's what we should be arguing.
what you are missing, is that a defense system could still be built as open source, using the same security guidelines as a closed source project. I could create company X, set it as a defense contractor, and provide the program to the DOD, excactly the same as a close company would. I can still do TS audits, and limit who i give my source to. Open source does not mean distributed to the world. It means when I provide the DoD with my project, I also provide the source code. It means that all code I submit, can be independently audited and verified. An OSS project can still be highly accountable, if the hiring practices are kept the same as a CSS company would. The only real difference, is that the DoD can take the final project, and hire a secondary contractor to review the work to ensure that the what I delivered is indeed what they paid for.
This actually increases accountability, not decreases it, simply because it introduces another layer of transparency and auditability to the process.
I'll bite... Graphic Design is not about contrast either. (and yes, I am a Graphic Designer). Contrast is ONE of many things one must consider, along with Form, White Space, Color, etc. MOST importantly however, is communicating your message effectively. While white on black works in print, it does not translate to the web correctly, precisely because it's such an eyesore, so yes, the grandparent was right in saying so.

the thing about online, is now most papers are selling online/print package deals. So you buy your paper ad, add an extra fee, and your ad goes online as well. It works great for the local retailers, even ef people don't actually click through, because the exposure online is longer than in print. (ex. in print, an ad runs for one day, and unless you buy multiple days, or weeks, the effectiveness goes down. On-Line, the ad stays in rotation for a week, which is a better deal for the small local retailers, since they get more exposure locally). They also usually tie-in listings and info pages to advertising, so as long as the retailer signs a contract for "X" number of days, then their listing stay on-line for say, 6 months in the local retailer info or whatever... This days, having an on-line version actually does bring in a decent ammount of revenue, especially with the cost of operating a website vs newsprint and press costs.
Redundancy is repeating yourself by restating a point, and thus being repetitive. An oxymoron is two contradicting points used together, such as "Free, with purchase".
Until the reflexion of all the solar panels gives your position away, that sounded like a good idea. However, we are not only looking for practicality, we are looking to keep our troops alive... Nothing like a bringt reflection to make it easier to aim your rifle...
Another non-conspiracy explanation: Printers have lots of moving parts and are highly subject to failure. That's especially true if they are used intermittently, with months of storage between uses. Now deploy thousands of them, with the entire corps of news media breathing down your neck over every glitch, and you have an enormous PR disaster in the making.
Remember them old calculators that would print out the results on a little paper roll that would be almost "punched in"?
Or how about Credit Card printers (you know, the ones that get used commercially to print out the receipts you print, that are good for HUNDREDS of transactions per day, day in and day out for months)...
That is, afterall, all we would need... a little piece of paper that can be hand counted... shouldn't be that hard, really... couple hundred bucks per unit, TOPS.
Absolutely correct. I've always thought if they incorporated OGG support natively this wouldn't be a problem, but since it runs as a Quicktime Component, everything slows down to a crawl.
For grandma, who doesn't know anything about computers, it might be easier to adjust to a spatial file manager rather than a browser based file manager. To quote your quote.
Quote A spatial file manager is a significantly different concept from a browser-based file manager that lets you "browse" between folders on the filesystem in the same window, so it is important to realize that if you are accustomed to a browser-based file manager, there may be a learning curve, requiring an adjustment period before becoming adjusted to the new Nautilus.

Call me crazy...
but isn't "Sonar in Air" called "radar"?
and don't we pretty much have some pretty sophisticated radar systems out there?
or are we talking about some horrible shrieking sounds in the audible spectrum to make this happen?
What would really be gained by simply adding a second button?

*sigh* So, one in four internet users worldwide have downloaded movies online.
oh wait, no it was only in Eight Countires...
oh, and only broadband users were polled.
ooh! and I almost forgot, of those that answered, one in four said they had downloaded at least one (YES, ONE) movie...
nothing to see here... just FUD and paranoia...

emphasis mine.
I tried it. It works...
... and it's just with .ogg files. Haven't had that problem with mp3's.
unless you have 500 odd OGG files you are importing
then it's slower than molasses
slow at starting up
slow at importing
slow at displaying the playlist
slow at going from one file to the next
so i went back to what I was using before.
