    Don't confuse, aac does NOT necessarily mean it includes any DRM. It'superior MPEG standard audio compression. FAAC gurantees it's here to stay. Open Source mpeg4 aac codec - FAAC http://www.audiocoding.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Audio_Coding

  4. Re:Another WRONG Slashdot article on Will MacIntel Kill Apple Open Source Efforts? · · Score: 1

    it's only as "WRONG" as your sig. at one time it was true, but it's been corrected. :)

    Kurt Loder: "Are you opposed to file-sharing?"

    Maynard James Keenan: "Not necessarily. But I wish people would realize what an artist normally makes on the sale of an album. Nowadays, you have to sell, like, half a million or a million records just to break even. And how many bands sell a million records? Not that many."

  5. Sometimes "unlimited" can't truly mean unlimited on Netflix Throttling Heavy Renters · · Score: 1

    They've been doing this for a while. Netflix is still better then competition on selection and turn around.

  6. Re:The march of technology on The Future of Digital Camera Technology · · Score: 1

    Kill the spyware and such running in the background. My intel 815 P3 1ghz, 512mb ram xp pro runs both fine but run even better in gentoo on the same box. 256mb or less, I would imagine them getting sluggish on a bulky windows install, but the hardware handle fine.

  7. Re:Windows Only? on WMF Exploit Sold Underground for $4,000 · · Score: 1

    I couldn't find the interview you referenced, but if it's factual than his view has changed. Don't believe half the stuff you read on wikipedia. http://www.mtv.com/bands/a/a_perfect_circle/news_f eature_040122/

  8. Re:Windows Only? on WMF Exploit Sold Underground for $4,000 · · Score: 1

    Offtopic but... Interview with Maynard by Loder Loder: What do you make of the current state of the music business, and the illegal downloading the record companies say is siphoning off their profits? Keenan: There is still a future with music, because people want music. But I don't know if the record labels will be involved. The panic you're seeing now is basically coming from the labels trying to figure out how they're gonna monopolize and manipulate and suck the blood out of artists anymore. Loder: Are you opposed to file-sharing? Keenan: Not necessarily. But I wish people would realize what an artist normally makes on the sale of an album. Nowadays, you have to sell, like, half a million or a million records just to break even. And how many bands sell a million records? Not that many.

  9. funny on New RIAA/MPAA "Customary Historic Use" Plan · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "At the height of their cultural power, the samurai were authorized to kill peasants for an insane number of reasons, including 'acting in an other than expected manner.' So look on the bright side: at least we don't live in feudal Japan... yet." haha
