So do Ethernet cables have their own sound? This is no longer a question but a statement. The cable between switches is less important than the ones connected to the end points (NAS and/or streaming device), but a decent type like the AudioQuest Carbon is certainly worth the price in high end systems.
True. But I think FLAC is used more by (audio-)geeks, whereas MKV is used by a lot of folks who "play, uh, media from "disparate" sources", to quote drinkypoo.
In the comments above I've read some of the most interesting discussions I've seen in a while around here. This is the stuff I come to/. for. Thank you all!
On behalf of all 8 year olds: thank you, that was very informative. As for myself: I'm supposed to have an IQ well above 130, but it would probably take me months to make sense of that page.
The BREIN foundation is the joint anti-piracy program of authors, artists, publishers, producers and distributors of music, film, games, interactive software and books; A unique bundling of forces of the entire entertainment industry in the fight against Intellectual Property theft.
may not be what you or I agree with, but to many people it sounds like a reasonable idea.
In my experience the attempts to shut down filesharing sites are seen as annoying and as something that makes it a bit harder to get music and movies. The point that shutting down websites is a threat to the freedom of speech is lost on most people. In fact, the whole concept of freedom of speech is something many don't fully understand.
The problem is not whether or not people believe in individual freedoms and rights. The problem is that the consequences of BREIN's actions are hard to explain, while BREIN's motives sound good to the layman (protecting creativity and all that).
I think the Dutch are spoiled in a way. We grew up knowing that are freedoms were taken care of by politicians, the media and the judicial system. Now that certain freedoms are being questioned, we don't know how to interpret the issues, let alone how to respond to them.
I didn't know that, even though I used Quicksilver in the few months I tried out OSX. The article, however, implies that the Ubuntu implementation will suggest actions from applications that are not active.
There are a lot of comments saying that this is copying the Run command in Windows or Quicksilver for the Mac. It's not. These don't get you to commands within applications, As Shuttleworth says: “It’s all hooked in below the application level.”
Brilliant! Post a story and the system will instantly provide comments from an archive! Now, what are the readers supposed to do? Just read?
Seriously, I like your idea. It addresses a well-known problem (wise posts having no staying power) and it's simple. It might also be advisable to make comments taggable.
You sound like Prince, who turned down a Guitar Hero deal saying:
Well, I ain't mad at them. I hear it made, like, $2 billion and they came to us and offered us a very small portion of that," explained Prince. "But I just think it's more important that kids learn how to actually play the guitar. It's a tough instrument--it's not easy. It took me a long time, and it was frustrating at first. And you just have to stick with it, and it's cool for people who don't have time to learn the chords or ain't interested in it, but to play music is one of the greatest things.

Simpler.
I thought we were talking about the free-as-in-beer-market.
Unbelievable. From TFR:

I could see why FLAC would be considered a geeky format, but MKV? It's pretty common, is it not?
Wow.

Motörhead.
I pent cars for a living, you insensitive clod.
Thanks! The article even has a heading called "What space is the universe expanding into?".
Thanks! I've read about the balloon analogy, but it's hard for me to grasp. I'm not made for this, I guess.
Question 2
There is no space & time outside the physical universe.
Are you sure? How do you know?
Etc. etc. ad infinitum. It's a good answer though, even I can understand it and it's helpful. Thanks!

It expands into what?

Watch a bit longer. The boredom will pass. Oh that's terrible, I'm sorry.

Thank you sir!
