this is the most genius piece of music recommendation I have seen. It uses like blogs to link (and play, download ) like music. Enter a band and find 10 blogs which contain similiar music. Its great.
OK, this may be flamebait, but here goes. What's up with this page?? Does anyone else notice that the headers are the same color as the comments in Firefox? WTF? Also this so called Disclic company? Where Who? I'm from the generation that knows if Google can't find it... it doesn't exist....:)
These babies are solar powered and NASA figured that dust from the atmosphere would render the solar panels useless after two months. The wind kept pushing the dust off the panels so.. there they go again.
I agree. What's the point of having an operating system that only runs some stuff when I can run most everything (plus Gnome) in Windows?
Seriously though. We have been talking about Linux on the desktop for years and years and years.... Where are all the Linux desktop users?
I'm actually looking forward to the new version of Windows and the multiple licenses available for people of all shapes and sizes! Linux is just too damn time consuming.
They actually have taken it to the extremes. Currently we have these versions of Windows available if you purchase from an OEM:
2003 Web Edition aka "Windows Webserver" (Can't be a
DC or run SQL)
2003 Storage Edition aka "Windows Fileserver" (Runs on SAN devices)
2003 Standard Edition aka "Windows Domain Controller"
It sounds crazy but it seems like Microsoft has already gone extreme in their handling of their server software editions as well.
I think it was yesterday as I was trying to figure out how to configure an employees PDA/Cellphone running Windows to download his email. And all I thought about was "Wouldn't it be great if this ran OS X?" Ha ha... Thank you Steve!
Quiet!? Give me a computer that sputters to life when I press the power button. A computer with a deep rumble when the hard drive is being read. Give me noise!
I love this stuff. I wrote a http://sadieandtodd.com/magnetic poetry board that saves the pieces in the background as people move them. There is a great GPL project called JPSPAN to help with the XMLRPC stuff.

I can't think of another invention that has propelled people to give appropriate compensation for good software development. Although many people still enjoy having thousands of popups displayed on their computer daily I find many users wanting to pay for software that they download just to keep the annoying spam and trojans away. Anyways, kudos to those who are doing this. You're making legitamate software way more valuable.
I couldn't help but laugh a little bit when I read the "IPod killer" quote in the article. How does a portable video player sell? Don't most people get portable music devices for listening to music on the go? If I wanted to watch a movie wouldn't you do that on the big screen at home? I guess I can see this as being a great digital babysitter for the kids in the car on the long trips but I can think of a billion other things that would suffice for entertainment at a fraction of the cost. Come to think of it they don't have moving parts either...
Wow! I completely agree That was my second thought upon leaving Spiderman as I walked into the snowing mountains. My first thought being "Wow! Its snowing! Yuk!"
Expecting to walk away from Spiderman pleased by the hollywood flick I expected it to be, but never did I expect to get a deep sense of the thread of Christ in the story line. "What matters is a new creature." Spidey was definantly a new creature. His enlightenment gave him the option to choose and he chose wisely.
It seems that all the "essential" books I have rarely get touched except at those special key moments when they are needed. I can't imagine spending more than 15 minutes trying to adapt these "old" knowledge bases into electronic form unless it was SO HUGE and needed to be accessed by alot of people (i.e., the company library?)
so then, what? where is the fair use policy on this? do I buy oreilly's "java and xml" book and then copy and cut it up to my hearts content? What do the publishers think about all this?
I know this is offtopic, but what's up with xhtml 1.1? Everyone and their dog is saying that this is the BOMB format, but I still find it too constrictive. You can't even reference javascript functions like onChange from inside an input element. Its NO GOOD. How is a format like this going to be excepted if you lose the functionality of javascript? What's wrong with javascript these days?
nevermind the fact that 40,000 geeks with optical lines like yourself our now sucking the life out of this server.
cheers? where everyone knows my name? why?
Here in Montucky where I live we have been waiting for years and years to get some decent broadband here. And now I'm excited that I don't have to wait anymore. I have the real deal! My freaky modem!! Yahoo!
how do people become judges? Can you take night school?
I guess we all saw this coming. I always wonder what happens with those judges down in the court of appeals.. They were probably sitting around looking at the order... "Man, this is dumb."

well it was online... till we slashdotted it.
k, don't hit this hard.. because i like it, but it makes pandora stupid.

I see some people have this running in VMWare , but how about Virtual PC? Anyone?

I wonder if they will offer a "Video Camera" accessory just like the audio mic for the iPod where you can record video straight onto the device.
Me too

In earlier news betamax was declared the superior to the technically inferior VHS format.
In geek terms Blue-Ray may have won, but the market will determine the winner in a world where acronyms rule
Just your two cents?? I wanted a dollar!

At least Apples's website never looks like this... Microsoft.com

Who can argue with that?
