I thought the whole point of the iPods was that iTunes enabled the DRM necesary to play stuff from Apple. I'm rather surprised to hear that you installed something else.
I think I remember also not being a fan of iTunes' design.
A. Designed efficiently so that new hardware does = speed increase. Each user has different feature requirements, so some might need to hyperlink spreadsheet fields, others might call it feature creep.
B. Minimialist Aesthetic, as a programming exercise or to demonstrate program size vs. cpu speed. For example, the candytron farbrausch demo mentioned above creates dancing a dancing 3d woman with 64 k of code. Because the limiting factor was code size, they took advantage of cpu rendering power that was not available in the 8-bit days.
Sure. That's why I brought up Music/Videos. "Producing X Object is too cheap to meter". But notice they haven't solved the Living Space problem. They sublimated the idea of rent based on unstated subsidized perks of a job.
I'm so tangled in the multiple layers of paradox I can't get out.
If this is "secret" spyware, then it's fair game for the terrorists to... send back to spy on the government!!
I'm dying to see a fiction treatment of the top German Govt hacker vs. the top Terrorist hacker. Given the ridiculous layers of influence both command, that would be a knockout.
I prefer to think that most concepts are served well by medium level documentation to consisting of a presentation and a FAQ. When a student does this basic homework beforehand, it means his questions to the Master become more intelligent.
Innovation must also solve a problem with the status quo (even if only not perfectly perceived). Big Picture Executives and Chief Lieutenants get into discussions all day about "we could do this", and later learn that it has a complex side effect. If the side effect is solved, innovate. If the side effect is worse than the original problem, then that idea has to be parked for some length of time until the atmosphere changes and it can be revisited.
So what does this mean to actions to block Microsoft's famous Windows Genuine Advantage? I have a lot of respect for judges - sometimes they can slide a ruling and paint it so perfectly for the issue at hand that everyone applauds... and then hand their superior court a precedent for their higher level case... that earns them a standing ovation.
At what level is WGA different from Zango's claim, on the legal level?
I would go further and suggest that the techniques are *shown* and not even verbally transmitted. This would fall into harmony with the common eastern theme that certain levels of awareness must be transmitted outside the intellect and the word.
To a point, the golden age of Camp is passing quickly. The world mood is too somber now for us to "suspend disbelief" properly for that style any more.
What Roddenberry presented was not a utopia... only a time when things were going right for once and we could take a break from total disaster. Subject to the next couple of US elections, we're growing fatigued by the path the Bush dynasty has taken us. Even if the next President is a Compromise Candidate, I expect we will work towards repairing international relations... which is *exactly* what Trek was about.
This may finally be the correct/. post to mention the Trek Economics. The entire source of that economic optimism stemmed from moving away from the classical law of supply. We are in fact just seeing the first stages of that now, over on the RIAA side. It will shake out for another ten years, and eventually something like an Ad or Sponsor model will kick in, and music will be Free as in Beer.
I'm no fan of either player here. This reads like a triple negative. Who's the side we're supposed to be 'rooting for' and is this a Good Thing or a Bad Thing?
I'm thinking Vince McMahon wants his hands on (Oracle, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Sun, and Red Hat) vs (Major League Baseball,RIAA,MPAA) wrestling match.
I rather like my machines staying out of harm's way unless I want to run my own process. I have a classical Dell NetBurst P4 running XP at work. When it's under 20% usage, it stays quiet. When some silly process jumps in, the fan kicks in, and it sounds like an airplane taking off. Then it won't notice the process went away, so the fan keeps going. It's my "Uh Oh" indicator.
I'd have a hard time with Vista randomly running processes... because I don't trust MS's judgement on what needs to be run. It's also harder to guage how heavy an app really is if you can't simply subtract new usage - old usage because the OS is running garbage processes.
I will *one day* move off XP. However, I am designing a Last-Of-Breed machine to milk XP until it complely caves.
I will not be moving to Vista. My plan has always been to try skip every couple of OS versions if possible. Thus my machine should last into the Windows 7 discussion.
Meanwhile in parallel, it's an open discussion between Linux & Apple. Bazaar vs. Integration. But SP1 "to fix issues" is classic Microsoft "Let's Sell BetaWare".
Last I knew, this guy sent the letter as official correspondence, and that "official correspondence represents the company". I don't know how they could use the "single employee" theory, because Accounting doesn't give *me* $50,000 to spend as I please without authorization. (See? Who's supposed to pay that? That means at least TWO employees... and counting.)
... Except this is in the department of the nearly impossible, because *both* ReIncarnation or Being Judged is a function of the highest spiritual levels of all reality. God would consider it blasphemy, and the Wheel turning ReIncarnation doesn't check for local permissions either. Put simply to modern minds, it's like banning gravity. Isaac Newton didn't "give" us gravity, and the other forces that did provide it don't react to Government pronouncements.

Sure.
And what makes sense to you today might make you cringe next year. It's important for both/all of those visions to be possible.
P.S. That link gives me a "no music found" error.

I saw some remarks in various posts elsewhere that said Open Office was suffering from feature creep.
I also think an explosion of features subtly exhausts the user. I'll have to look at OpenOffice Portable - Calc & Writer to see how those work.
I think there's two categories in this survey.
A. Designed efficiently so that new hardware does = speed increase. Each user has different feature requirements, so some might need to hyperlink spreadsheet fields, others might call it feature creep.
B. Minimialist Aesthetic, as a programming exercise or to demonstrate program size vs. cpu speed.

Great suggestions. I made a copy for the next time I go raiding the used bookstores.
1. Announce the spec is not ready ...
2. Frighten away competitors
3. Build Anyway
4. Profit!
Really now.
... duplicate the result.
The goal was to get research out to users, right?
Not counting the whole prestige factor, just set up a science torrent.
Because of the way science works, it's less susceptible to data corruption than music - the next scientist down has to
The next room down the hall, the RIAA is moaning about the power of free distribtion.
Should we tell Rob Manuel so he can update Name That Beard?

I'd love to see what happens with RIAA politics when the Alien Bay shows up!

That point of view is theirs.

Didn't we decide this morning that Viacom has a shaky case for exactly this reason?
So far the RIAA would object that "... such use constitutes 'fair use' under copyright law, or is otherwise permitted by applicable law."
So, no luck there.
Except Microsoft is the 21st Century Enigma. Nothing they do is without sneaky intent.

The poster below me is right that official notices are not needed on single author/group works, but they are very important on mixed copyright sites.
