If you read the article, the company applied for hte patents in 1999. The patent office took untill March of 06 for one of hte patents, and untill tuesday for the other. It's not waiting for the pig to get fat, it's waiting for the government to recognize your innovation. Couple that with the...

NOOOOOOES! The tubing isn't supposed to go on that far... I am suprised it isn't leaking. The barb that you got the tubing on "90%" is actually correct, the other one is a disaster waiting to happen.

Yeah, I'm curious as well...

QFT 5 bux says that DD will replace that block damn near instantly. I use all DD parts in my loop (well, aside from the 77 bonni core) and have nothing but good to say. It's a sad fact of production that there are some that slip out, especially when you have to ramp up production quickly as...

Here at Purdue (woot for being in the top 5), the campus is wireless, yes. But in order to log in you have to provide username and password for your school computer account. Makes it fairly easy to see who is DLing gigs of pirated music. The other side of the story is, at Purdue we have a...

And Europe is a great place because.... you can be arrested for the things you say?

1. The principal isn't a total jackas (remember, from my high school) 2. The kid was a nut-job. Hell, he stalked me for a year (See changing schedules for the sole purpose of being in the same class) 3 See my reply about threatening to kill the prinicpal Expelling a student from school...

Free speach doesn't exactly cover death threats....

Hell, college, employers, even the millitary use myspace and facebook to spy on people. Back in my home town a kid was stupid enough to make a profile to badmouth and threaten the principal of the local HS... got kicked outta school

Actually, now that I think about it, there are no LEGAL ways to get around losing your audio collection. Any circumvention of DRM software is a violation of the DMCA... so yeah, you do, legally, lose all of your music if you switch to a different player.

Just like standard oil was just out to make a profit... The only music you can play on an I-pod is I-tunes music just like the only oil you could ship on Standard's train network was Standard Oil. It limits competition and hurts the consumer.

You are absolutely right, you aren't forced to use I-tunes, or the I-pod... but if you have been using it for a couple years, have an extensive music collection bought from the I-tunes store, and want to switch to a different media player (IE, zune, creative labs, etc) you cannot do that without...

The problem is that the chips used to power the I-pod natively support WMA. Apple intentionally cripples that feature. Why would apple intentionally cripple a feature that makes it's product more robust? Could it be so that previous users of I-pods wouldn't consider switching to a different...

Strangely.... it does taste good (accidental and only a small amount... damn cars).

Anti-freeze will kill the baddies just fine. Nothing else needed
