How else could you encode audio other than PCM? I suppose you could use a Fourier series, but you'd end up with the same problems - even if you take the first grillion terms you'll still lose some sound data. Plus you'd need a computer to work it all out... and the computer (even the computer microphone) would probably use PCM.
I suppose you could use magnetic tape and use analogue recording (but even then magnetism is quantised:-)
I guess the moral is there's no such thing as a perfect recording.
If somebody is angered by the existing code enough to write fuck in a comment, there must be something wrong
The word "fuck" is a warning for other developers (remember, there are lots working on each bit of code) to warch out. Eg/* Do not fuck with this without consulting arch/sparc64/lib/locks.S first! */ (in smp_lock.h).
If you think that closed-source code is somehow better written, then think of this: who will write better code - a person who is writing code nobody will ever see again; or a person who is writing code that will be published in his name, effectively putting his reputation on the line with each bit of code?
Of course, there's no way to know if closed-source code contains profanity.
The strategy is not for you, its for businesses - who have evn less moral concerns even than you, but are more afraid of lawsuits.
Microsoft already know they own the home PC market, but for businesses and especially servers the market is a lot wider (probably because pirating windows isn't an option).
I stand corrected, and having looked properly on the web, I have to agree. I was talking based on the distro I installed, which didn't install the power management packages for some stupid reason.
Weight is the force due to gravity. On earth this is very similar to (linearly dependant on) the mass of the object, as the force from gravity is always the same value.
The main source of gravity on the moon is still the earth, but the gravitational pull is weaker, as it's further away. My back of an envelope puts the weight of the moon at 7.7e+31 Newtons.
That's not really trolling - Linux doesn't seem set up to save power. While there are packages like hibernate, it's not well advertised, and didn't get installed by default for me.
It's going like razorblades - the razorblade companies just try to outdo each other on how many blades that can be placed in a single razor. At this rate, expect as many processors as you can physically fit on, plus an extra processor for those tricky, hard to reach programs.
The bill does not mention "operation of data", but does make it an offence "to impair the operation of any such program or the reliability of [...] any such data"
See the text of bill. It's an ammendment to and (dare I say it) clarification of the Computer Misuse Act.
Slashdot Mirror
There are only 17,500 three letter acronyms -- looks like we've run out already.
Speaking of 0-day, what does 0-day mean, and why is it placed randomly in front of exciting new exploits?
It's not even a new symbol - it looks to me like capital phi.
The article seems lacking in detail. By contrast, proper mathmagicians can't even get to 2 without using a long and difficult proof.
My 2 cents: wouldn't 0/0 be the set of all complex numbers? If x = 0/0 then 0 = 0x would work for any x.
For extradition, there's often a minimum amount of damage (in $$$) that is required before someone can be extradited.
I wish I had mod points.

Ahem, http://flac.sf.net/
A used for Magnatune downloads (among others), and supported by decent media player software and a handful of MP3 players
Also, like this.
Even if they could afford cars, they wouldn't be able to park them in well-lit places.
But the whole point was to help the civilians, right....
It was as though millions of credit cards suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Just my 2 cents.
I thought that was the RIAA's plan all along...
Like slashdot - I always trust slashdot in everything it says.

Having the DRM broken doesn't matter to these companies - now they have the DMCA!

can I mark this story as a Troll?
already read this in the mysterious future.
