Okay, so if you're all by yourself 100% of the time, then sure a headset type of thing will work fine. Hell I have a pair of i-glasses, they work great when I want to watch TV in bed while my spouse sleeps, but what about when you have friends over for movies, or you're hanging out and say "hey, come check out this thing I see on slashdot" you're either going to need more pairs of headsets, or share yours.
Hacker wern't always people tinkering with technology...
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913):
Hacker \Hack"er\, n.
One who, or that which, hacks. Specifically: A cutting instrument for making notches; esp., one used for notching pine trees in collecting turpentine; a hack.
I wonder if they got pissed when somebody took their word
Nobody today thinks of peg-leg people with an eye patch and a parrot on their shoulding when they say somebody was arrested for piracy, they think of illegal copying of copyrighted works.
The word alone is meaningless, it's what the word puts into our head. If most people think "oh, he was arrested for -image of a guy selling/copying/distributing illegal software/CD/books-" and not "oh, he was arrested for -image of a man swinging onto a ship and plundering them-" then what does it matter.
"'Piracy' -- Copyright infringement is called just that, 'copyright infringement.' I suggest you stop someone when they use the word 'piracy' and ask them what boats on what ocean they are talking about. "Piracy" has no legal meaning and it only exists because 'copyright infringement' doesn't sound as bad. It's hard to argue with this fact."
And gay is being happy, and geeks are sideshow freaks.. Give it a rest, words change and get new meanings over time. Deal with it and move on.
Oh yes, because the meaning of words never change.. "hackers" whine about this too.. Oh yah, just like gay = happy, geek = freak that bites the heads off of animals. Words change meanings. People that thing software piracy is on the same level as rape and pillage probably think that you have a really happy friend when you say he's gay.
BUT, if you never use it (format the drive right away). Then how can you agree to the license? Usually it's in a bag. Don't open the bag, don't boot up into the OS without fdisking the drive first with your handy linux boot disk.
Some people have pointed out Clear Channel, they own quite a few stations in my area.. You know what, they don't all play the same thing. That arguement doesn't really work.
Anybody ever think about..

Okay. I've already seen some posts about college radio. Now, college radio has the benifit of not having to make much (if any) money to stick around. Unlike commercial radio stations.
That being said, some of you might find the college radio station better to listen to becuase you get to hear different stuff, things that you don't get to hear on mainstream radio. Now, did you ever seem to think that the reason that it's not on mainstream radio is because mainstream people think that the music sucks?
Commercial radio is there to make money, so they need to play what MOST people want to hear, not what you want to here. I like techno, most places don't play techno, why? becuase mainstream people don't like techno, in fact some people hate it (my brother included).
To say that college radio or internet radio is better then commercial radio is silly. Just becuase you don't like it doesn't rule out the fact that somebody must like it, because it's still around, and it's doing well. I've also found that there's some people (an ex-coworker comes to mind) that listens to non-mainstream stuff just becuase it's non-mainstream. I found it to be shit and could see why it wasn't played on the radio. This just goes to show, different people have different tastes, and just because you don't like Britney doesn't rule out the fact that a lot of people do.
Suuuuuuure... That's why I just got a full retal version of the CD. Just finished now, and I started when I noticed this article.. So much for that plan.
God forbid if Dell, Gateway, IBM and all the other retailers of computers stood up against Microsoft and told them to stick their OEM agreement up their ass.
If anybody else bent over and signed a stupid ass contract like that we would call them stupid. The computer retailers do it and we call in the government and blame MS.
The problem isn't that somebody put up something libelous and got sued. The person put it on a MS server run by the MS ISP (MSN?) and THEY got sued. So if you run a website on your ISPs server and put up something libelous, the ISP can get sued.
How does it not take up recording space? if it's video, it takes up space.
They do things like this in the US TiVo. Just the other day there was some Cheryl Crow video that MTV put up there. I didn't watch it, no biggie. And while it doesn't take up much space, it must take up some.
As an independent artist I would think you would want CARP. That way you could give internet stations your music for free or for whatever you want them to pay since it's your music, not the RIAA's. If anything this would be great for people like you, because internet stations would be starving for content (not being able to play RIAA music) and people like you could fill the void.
The only thing I was saying about the tracking was that people made it sound that it would be next to impossible, that they would need extra staff to do it. I just didn't understand what was so hard about implementing the tracking. I think it's kinda silly, but I don't think it would be a burden for the internet station, as the logs should be taking care of most of it already.
As much as CARP sucks, there needs to be some form of payment for commercial internet radio stations to some degree. Otherwise this would give the internet radio stations and advantage over the normal stations. I don't see why they just couldn't use the same ASCAP/BMI stuff that they use for normal radio and apply it to internet radio also.
One thing that lots of the places seemed to bitch about was the tracking of the listeners. Now, I know that they wanted it to be retroactive to the DMCA and that's just stupid, but from say now on, what's the big deal? Can't a log parser do this in no time? Just track unique hosts or something like that. If they just needed numbers it should be a no brainer, even something like webalizer can give you those numbers if you set it up right.
As somebody pointed out, they have I think two full seasons already done and ready to run. The cancelation effects all shows after this. They will run the ones they have that are ready, then no more.
Of course we could have another Invader Zim thing, where they canceled it, then people started watching it, and they decided to reverse the cancelation.
But anyways, this is why it's still running, and it will, for I think two seasons, even if it stays canceled.
Okay, I'll be sure to tell my sister-in-law, an international VP for Siemens who only had a GED when she got hired about that..
1. Why do you think that I would not go on to get a degree later on? Or that I've even started?
2. Why does one need to advance? Perhaps I like being a sysadmin, perhaps I don't want to do anything else, perhaps $65k/year is more then enough for me and my family?
I never understood this, I know people that do shit work, digging holes, and they're the happiest people in the world, they can more then care for their needs and the needs of their families, yet people like you look down on them. Perhaps it's because you've spent all this time, energy, and money so you can get all this extra income, only to find out that you're not happy, and that your life, while filled with all the latest gee-whiz stuff, sucks..
I got the same crap from school.. Go to collage. I ended up going to a two year technical collage because I figured it would be more hands on and it would get me out of the door faster. Only after I started did I realize that this isn't what I wanted to do, they were teaching stuff that I didn't care about, and a degree from them, if anybody knew what they really taught, would be crap.
I dropped out after a year and started doing tech support at a local ISP making shit, had a friend that helped me get a foot in the door doing NOC work at MediaOne, did really good, they sent me to some solaris training, and I ended up getting a admin job at a little start up. So basically in the time that collage would have taken (4 years) I managed to be making 60k/year doing what I wanted.
Of course, I ended up getting laid off. So I guess the best advice would be if you stay with a nice big company (like a cable company). STAY! They had better benifits (might not seem like a big deal now, but they will), better 401k matching, WAY more stability, and they actually sent me to real training classes where I could get real certs. And don't listen to start ups, they say what they want to get you in the door, then they screw you out of what they said.. This hasn't just happened to me, I'm sure there is plenty of examples.
Slashdot Mirror
Darwin has lots of BSD code in it, and it's open source and portable (will work on X86). The only part that's not is Aqua.
That's debatable. While nothing compairs to doom, quake, or counterstrike. There's something about TW2002, L.o.R.D and others. They were just fun.

Free software is their competition. Next thing you know people like Alan Cox might speak to them about the benifits of open source. My god, how evil!

I knew I was gonna get shit for the collage rather then college thing.. I just spaced it. But I'm sure you're so perfect that you never do that..
And I went to New Hampshire Technical Inst. for Copmuter Engineering Technologies. Not for some manual labor type of trade.
I dropped out after a year and started doing tech support at a local ISP making shit, had a friend that helped me get a foot in the door doing NOC work at MediaOne, did really good, they sent me to some solaris training, and I ended up getting a admin job at a little start up.
