Does this mean that, if you train a subject long enough with a tune, you would be able to put him to sleep at will, using that tune? Sort of like "hypnotists" do in the movies?
To use a slightly silly analogy, you are essentially also suggesting that if someone sells me a sandwich, I must either refuse it entirely or else eat it without first taking a look first at it.If it is given to me for free, I am under an even greater obligation to avoid looking at what I am putting in my mouth.
Well, if the prices don't fall and you succeed in selling your monitor for at least half-price, you'll still end up losing money because the upgrade will be more expensive. Conversely, if prices DO fall, you lose out on the resale, but you save on your next monitor. The best of both worlds would be if you were to sell your monitor while the prices are high, and then buy a new one after the prices fall. But, if you did that, what would you use in the interim?
Notice that the media addressed this issue in response to a letter to the "ask Jack" column. If we want the media to address more of our concerns, we can help out by writing in, whether it be as informed technical people or in the guise of helpless newbs.
I didn't want to get into the details, but I'll add to the above that under corporate law certain positions carry with them a fiduciary duty towards the company. If you are a CEO or director, you have special obligations above and beyond the contractual ties. I think the concept of fiduciary duty is relevant to the parent comment.
it's a principle of corporate law that those who control a company must do so in the best interests of the company. This is usually taken to mean the best interests of the shareholders.You can get away with not maximizing profits if you can show that you believed in good faith that your decision was in the best interests of the company (i.e. not in order to benefit you or your friend)
actually, under a GUI you would have to: 1. Click start menu 2. ->Programs->Applications->Media->play 3. Then: File->Open 4. Then, with the browser: 5. MyComputer->C:->path->to-> my->mp3s->some_song.mp 3 6. Click open.
Sure, you could have a shortcut on the desktop, but similarly, you could have an alias called techno1 that invokes xmms with a playlist.
So I take it this means that, if you ever do want to edit an old Microsoft file that has been archived as PDF, you would have to do a pdf2text conversion and redo all of the formatting?
I'm interested in knowing how you can open a PDF file to edit it. My understanding is that once you save to PDF, you can view, but cannot very easily edit the document.
Better still, fill the file with some little document for which you own the copyright. Then, when they download the file, you have the right to DoS them.
It'd be cool if there were, like, this city where there was, like, no privacy and stuff. And you go there and there are cameras everywhere and, like, no one is picking their nose and stuff and everyone is super good-looking and stuff. And then there's this other city that's cool cos it's all dark and stuff and everything is private and you can buy drugs there and gamble and it's like this underworld place, and all sorts of weird shit goes on there.
If a doctor tries and succeeds in shifting blame onto the Machine, then the Big Coporation that made the machine would probably be open to a portion of the liability. In the end, the damage should be the same as before but shared between the parties.
you didn't read what the other poster said. Yes, the terminal velocity will be reduced over the course of his flight. But he will be at that terminal for nearly the entire time, i.e. gradually slowing down.

Does that make people who use region-free players "flautists"?
why a tar ball? why not a self installing exe?

>People steal the media because they don't want to pay for it.
No. I think the whole point is that people don't steal the media. The only copy the content onto their own media.

use tab-completion. Windows folders navigation is not fast if you have more than 30 folders, because then you have to scroll through them.

That's why we need a way to access our profiles from any thin-client. "Your" desktop should be available wherever you are.
It's amazing how slashdot can make a relatively active thread from what amounts to a crappy insignificant article.

What happens when the pedalling kid gets tired and takes a brief rest? Will you have to scandisk or fsck every time?
Maybe someone could design an ink refill kit that allows them to use squids or some other native source.

Maybe it simply means he doesn't make a point of refusing to answer any fan mail that might come from a pedophile.
