070?

Isn't that more like an 075 or 076?

Hi Mike, they also screwed up on the scale. The log actually scales only 2312 board feet on the Doyle. Wish my log buyers were that generous.

Neil,

You don't need WMP to do that.  If you were at all computer literate you'd know there are several standard digital audio file formats which predate WMP by many generations (decades).

What WMP does is bastardize the standards with (almost entirely) unnecessary additions so that you'll be locked in to MS software.  Same with almost every little bit of stuff they make -- come along later and slightly modify (they say "enhance") the standard.  It would be one thing if they ever actually innovated anything...

At any rate, copying digital material digitally and distributing it without the content copyright-owners permission is illegal.  It's also illegal to make personal copies of material you've borrowed (or in any other way did not purchase).  You know that, right?

Zypper once told me of a theory he had to get around the illegality of copying digital media. I seem to remember that it had to do with phase modulating noise or some such thing.

I think he used the term "phlatulation" as a play on the words and the brown noise he used.

Glen, resistance is futile, you will be assimilated!

Paul,

My dad died a couple weeks ago and I took his computers to wipe them clean and re-install the home XP on them in preparation for sale.&nbsp; I booted a Linux CDROM and wrote null bytes to the entire NTFS partition, then waited like forever for the "hidden" partition stuff to re-install.&nbsp; Then, after several hours, even on this 300KB cable connection (temporary!) of being jerked around by MS installing all the updates I was finally done.&nbsp; I couldn't freaking believe it.&nbsp; I'd install an update for something, then after rebooting <i>again</i>, re-visit the update site only to find a critical update to the last update.&nbsp; Why in the Sam Hell don't they combine those stupid things?!&nbsp; At least for the second one I was able, since they're identical, to stick the other hard drive into the box as well, boot the Linux CDROM, and copy the one drive over to the other one, bit for bit, directly.&nbsp; Much faster!

I can install a Linux system with 5 times the functionality of the "professional" version of XP in just a few minutes and only need to reboot once; when the installation is done.

I can confidently state that I will <i>NEVER</i> be assimilated!&nbsp; <img src="http://images.slashdot.org/topics/topicms.gif" align="top">

Tell that to the shark, when he's about to eat you.

You won't be the first.

Glen, I am very sorry about your dad. I am not very computer literate. I use the stuff Microsquish shoves down my throat because, truthfully, it's all I know. I can get by with my operating system and have files that I cannot risk losing. If you were closer, I'd love to have you show me the "light side of the force" . WOW we go went from Star Trek to Star Wars on this thread. The irony here is that Windows was originally written to make an IBM 'clone' (assimilation) function like an Apple Macintosh. I also realize that my operating system is huge and possibly slowing me down. By the time I get my next computer maybe I'll have evolved enough to try Linux (you guys don't get viruses, do you?)

 

[glens]

Thanks for the condolences.

There have been a couple "proof-of-concept" viruses for Linux but nothing ever in the wild.&nbsp; And unless the user is operating an outlandishly outdated, not updated setup and in an unsafe manner (with full admin privileges), the only things a virus <i>could</i> mess up would be some personal stuff, not the system as a whole.&nbsp; Certainly nothing that would require a re-installation.

Yeah, it looks like it, I think I've seen a color version somewhere or other and it was positively identified as an 075/076, cant recall where though.

Glen,
Sorry to hear of your loss. Us Microsoft junkies should get together with the Linux posse and do some installs. I have wanted to get into Linux for some time, but never had the opportunity. Later, Roger.

Uhh...chainsaw.
