You could argue it's the quality of the master, and the mastering process, and you'd be right. That's a no-brainer. "but if you take a copy of the original transcoded to 16/44 and compare it again with the 24/96 copy you can hear the same e

Yup... people need to get very clear in their heads the difference between the recording/sampling/mixing/mastering stages, where high bitrate/width/gear/knowledge is helpful, and playback, which is a completely different thing. (not for eat

I know where you're going with this I think, and I'm not disagreeing outright, but wouldn't this be captured during the high-bitrate (or good analog?) recording and mixing phase if the recording/mixing/mastering engineer were doing things

I'd even skip the dac (I mean I might not.... but a decent amplifier, and I just mean decent, like something that still works from the 70's or 80's) and a decent pair of tower speakers (needn't be expensive), and, well, just don't use the s

Without passing too much judgement........ it's common sense that as your revenue goes up, the time and effort put into ensuring you are on an appropriate platform should go up as well. Because sh*t happens...... whether we like it or not.

Yup, and if you avoid using any of the new language constructs like objects and whatnot that C++ brings and basically stick to standard C, maybe using just a bit of C++ sugar here and htere, true.... but at that point you might as well be u

It's that "if properly managed" bit that would be a nightmare from hell to manage... easier to just do it in C. What it's intended to do is rather different than what it's actually used for in real life..... code talks, anything else is jus

Those small little detailsa all added up to things people really liked when they got them. When we say apple "innovated X" or "invented Y" - I think most of us know that Steve Jobs, or even his engineers didn't necessarly invesnt the techno

sure. but its silly to argue about what the " correct " price is in any transaction. the correct price is the one the buyer and seller both freely agree to and come away happy with. simple as that. there are no other factors. if the seller

Unless we look at the privacy implications. Just because I Dont' want the paper anymore doesn't mean I'm putting it in the public domain..... or does it. If people find my junk useful, they can take it. but if there was some paperwork in t

Sure, if the seizure of the laptop as evidence was legal and all that, of course it would be. The issue is the defendants rights and responsibilities in helping them figure that out.

Nothing - my personal opinions aside, the difference seems to be if the prosecution has enough evidence to convince a judge that a specific piece of suspected evidence is contained in that encrypted data. The court decision even addresses

thats more a personal comment from Jobs...... Apple isnt charging anyone with theft. before thi ihone, no app store no multi touch, litte integration outside of the blackberry, and smartphones and phones in general sucked by comparison. ho

even further, the prosecution has not indicicated a specific file or location he expects to find, based on other evidence, on the drive.... and the court is deciding that amounts to a fishing expedition. they want to see his decrypted dri

If your admins don't understand the code and crash things - that's an organizational problem that can be corrected. Giving developers admin access isn't the answer. I've seen both sides - where admins didn't undersatnd the environment well

TO be fair, even apps without an installer will open a warning dialogue the first time it's actually run letting the user know this is an application that's "new" and hasn't been run before. Also - as long as Apple makes it easy for develop

Well, Steve Jobs shaped the image of Apple as a company and it's products, and ensured things worked the way he wanted them to, right or wrong, from the inside out..... There's a reason people go nuts over most apple products, and it's not
