I think you've got the right idea. In my experience, a lot of rejections have little to do with the quality of the underlying research and rather reflect the biases of the reviewers. Bad reviewers reject a good paper, and someone else is smart enough to accept it.
Of course, the reality is that both reasons probably contribute to this phenomenon—but just saying that this is e peer review process working as expected is complacent and facile.
(My mod points seem to have expired, or I would give you some.)
Actually, that's exactly what they do. Audio is reencoded into Apple Lossless. One format that can be easily decoded by the Airport Express, but small enough to stream over 802.11.
So the question is, is this encoding done through iTunes or though the OS? It seems likely that iTunes does it and then sends it out over the network.
Still, all someone needs to do is write a little hack that appears as an audio output device to the OS, but instead reencodes the audio stream and sends it out over the network. In the worst possible case, the hack could make all system sounds appear to iTunes as streamed audio, and then iTunes would pass it along to the network.
My school has recently instituted a new filtering policy, using N2H2's Bess. In addition to the usual hardcore porn and such, access to Napster (but no other such services) is blocked.
My question is this: how often does this sort of thing happen, not out of concern for students, or even out of a desire to enforce morality, but instead to placate the higher-ups in administration, or money-donating alumni?
How do you feel about the fact that this sort of thing is usually unevenly implemented, with little concern for the effectiveness of the solution, focusing instead on the appearance of having a solution?
One of the great things about learning C++ as a first language is that it's a great way to compare procedural and object oriented programming. Both are tools used in different situations, and C++ handles both nicely.
I go to the world's larges Baptist University (can you say "full tuition paid scholarship") and it's not that bad even here. True, no opposite sex in dorms except for a few hours on the weekend, but I live at home so that doesn't really matter. The point being, even at one of the most conservative schools in Texas, there's no internet filtering. God help us all if this precedent is set that tramples on the rights of adults, just because they're less than 25 years of age. As if colleg students don't put up with enough crap. Can you think of one other institution where the employees (professors) get all the power and the priveleges, and the consumers (the students) get their rights trampled? Now they're trying to take away the right to use computer networks for personal business.

I believe they streamed the 2010 fall music/iPod event, too.

Crap, forgot to log in. Oh well.
I did write the parent comment. Hopefully it's helpful.
Yep. It's under the Advanced preferences, for burning.

Actually, I remember reading an article on O'Grady's PowerPage about a similar service.

Hope this helps all in need.
