The government has never built a weapon they've never used. Every time we build something, we try it out. In Apples case, their tying your names to types of music. There isn't anything wrong with that as long as it doesn't become a weapon they can use against us in future political aspirings, etc. If your opponent has a friend with access to that information and publishes that you downloaded 20 Cyprus Hill songs and listened to them 6,000 times in your local newspaper, people will not vote for you. We must remain anon.
Patent law is so complicated right now lawyers dedicate their entire lives to just that one field. The wording is confusing, dry and seem to run in circles. Any change is good, as long as every patent lawyer doesn't have to buy a new bookshelf for the new laws.
We are warming the oceans with global warming, so now we get to cool them by tapping the ocean gradient (I assume, since anything that removes energy from the ocean will make it endoergic). Isn't that just too perfect? I think these guys are on to something.
"The hyper-Islamicist critique of the West as a decadent force that is already on a downhill course might be true" - somebody give this guy a research grant.
Switching to vector saves space 90% of the time. Draw a circle in photoshop, 100x100px black and white, youre looking at 29,000 bytes. Same thing in vector: 318 bytes. I'm not sure I get your point...? Clarify?
Doesn't this guy that's talking about media glitching remind you of Howard Dean? He's way too excited about program priorities. He's seriously hitting 80dbs from time to time. Sure would hate to work with that fool on something truely exciting.
Exactly. Theres so few of these useful implimentations of RSS. So very few. This is why we need to nail the coffin. There must be a better way! A site has to OFFER RSS, which is why it's such a pain in the bum. RSS will prooobably be called the "father" or "grandfather" of some yet-to-be-seen useful technology where we just pick whats to be pushed from anywhere online. (eg Push to me when weather.com headline = * warning & location = my location)
So newspapers can use it to give eachother headlines. As Linda Richman from Coffee Talk would say, "Big freakin woop". (1) There will be a new, better way to do it soon. (2) A newspaper is a far cry from a single user finding it useful. (C) It's anti-creative: newspapers rehashing other newspapers stories. We want fresh new content!
Now that I think about it, you've proven my point. If there were only one aggrigator and people used it, I'd say it were successful. That there's more than 70 and so few use any of them... well, thanks for proving my point I guess.
A quick look at Ford weblog reveals the chance for something scandalous reaching the masses is nearly inevitable. Why are they risking it? I see a lot of companies playing with new ideas, but this one reaches a new level of employee trust that is unwarrented. Whistleblowers dream.
Poor RSS. They mean well. It's almost too bad that there's no need for it. It's a rehash of that "push vs. pull" tech we heard so much about. It's obviously going nowhere, few people understand how to utilize it, fewer people use it, nobody needs it. Unless the RSS feed is from my bank account, showing me withdraws in real time on my cellphone, I don't see myself using it either.
I think these scientists deserve kudos, karma and lots of money. It's men and women that do boring jobs like this that will someday benifit humanity in ways we can't yet understand.

This is the weapon Apple is building.
What their saying is it wont work if you try to change the system basically. No drivers, no upgrades. I'd buy one if I were a millionare though.
So all I want to know is... where and when will the crackas release osX?

I've used maya (4.5, 5 etc), I've used photoshop, coreldraw, illustrator, premiere, flash, etc etc. Wow! Have I ever.
my bad: raster: 28,672 bytes, vector: 327,680 bytes. Youre right! OMG!@#$

In any case, they could save it to punch cards and still afford it. Who gives a fsck?
Dear Trey or Matt: Switch to vector graphics methods, not raster! Save many disks of whatever. Kthnksbi.

Care to tell us how many gigs of bandwidth /. burned through so far?

They probably didnt see being written up on slashdot coming - server down.

There could be 2 billion apps. Who cares? It's obvious that few people use them. RSS is NOT the next big thing, it's the next dead thing.

Thanks Taco. We could have used that extra second when it happened - 11 hours ago. 3... 2... 1... 1...
No, but it would put my mind at ease. (ID Theft, recurring billing I've cancelled, vindictive girltypes...)
