Reply to The economics of podcasting in Industry JoeUser Forums

for your comments I have some thoughts on the subject: 1) The sites that syndicate the feeds are the ones who get all the rewards. ITunes, PodNova, Yahoo, they're the ones who make all that advertising revenue without having to create the content. It costs Stardock thousands of dollars each week to do the podcast. Even the Neocast version costs Stardock money too even if it's not producing it, it runs/maintains the site for it. But the iTun

I know, they test missles, so we can test our defenses in North Korea JoeUser Forums

Hey I know, next missle launch North Korea does, why don't we test out our 'Star Wars' anti-missle defense systems and screw up their test while getting our own test data. Since it is real world, then it will be the best type of test data we could collect. Then again, the N.Korea missles only made it to the Gulf of Japan, so perhaps, if your a conspiracy the

Michigan ups speed limits using Engineering in Current Events JoeUser Forums

That means that the prior limit of 55 or 65 (as they are upping the limit to 70 mph, had more than 15% of drivers on the road driving above the speed limit? well, duh! So they up and that means there will still be 15% driving above the limit? Hell, up it farther then and you won't have as many speeders.... wait, that would eliminate a whole chunk o

Outsourcing - Ford cofirms internal letter in Car News JoeUser Forums

oops - backup, backup, backup - damn Linspire in OS Wars JoeUser Forums

Well, I screwed up and lost a ton of data (pics of kids, checkbook data, emails...) I put in my Linspire 5.0 disc in to upgrade my 4.5 verion and rebooted. Well, low and behold it started installing a new system... overwriting the old one... I have words for such things. This is part of the reason folks do NOT like Linux! It is not super easy to use and it

GM future outsourcing of Engineering in Life JoeUser Forums

Well here I am with a BS in Computer Engineering working in the Auto Industry and it is not too bad as I currently have a job, but there are many that don't and some getting laid off work all the time.

Video / Auido going mainstream and replacing TV in Living in Cyberspace JoeUser Forums

I heard recently that Google is building the framework for adding dynamic ads into Vidoes. I know of others, who have already developed the framework to put dynamic changing ads into podocsts (Podshow and Tech Podcasts) and I even know the location of PHP code to make this happen for podcasts. Once this happens, it will provide revenue streams to pod

Veterans and why someone joins the Military - Episode 43 in Poweruser WinCustomize Forums

I believe Kristin made a comment on the show about why someone joins ('volunteer')the Military. I (being a 4 year vet of the US Navy) believe that the Majority (>90-95%) of 'volunteers' of the military are there because their other options in life are not that great. MANY join due to the benifits, the VA Home Loan, the GI Bill, the travel (at least for the Navy), the chance at a steady paycheck and food, etc... I can go on and on. The wars in America are fought on

Barter Bee - Online trading source of games, music & movies in Gaming JoeUser Forums

When I signed up, I was able to get some free points, which I then used to 'buy' a game: Heroes of Might & Magic: Quest for the Dragon Bone Staff for the Playstation 2. Got it within a week of 'buying' the title. SO, how does this work and how do they make money. Well, you can pay them $1 per point, which is what you use to order games on their site. You

Dentists have yet another perfect job... security in Health & Medicine JoeUser Forums

Is it that your teeth just continue to decay and nothing you can do will stop that once it starts?

haha, so I don't have a Real Life! I knew something was wrong there. the 6 hours isn't a 'total' loss, but yes, it was annoying to some degree, but I am a geek after all. I did learn a bit after all. Yes, I have yet to play a decent game on Linux yet (tuxcart don't count as a real game, even if it is ok) One thing about computers as in many things, the more you know about them, the better off you are.

1st hardware upgrade for my Linspire Linux-Now I know in OS Wars JoeUser Forums

I bought a Nvidia GeForce 6200 for my Linspire box this wekend and it took me about 6 hours to get the software setup properly to make it work, but I did get it working and boy, what a pain in the ass! This right here is reason enough there are not more Windows users moving to Linux. Plug in Play is a godsend. Of course, it could possibly be partially the fault of

Shadow of the Colossus Review in Playstation JoeUser Forums

Yes I know it is an older game and there are a ton of reviews out there, but I did not write them! Overall, I would say yes it was all it was hyped up to be. The only minus I had about it was that it bordered on becoming a teadmill. How, in that it became the same thing over and over again when it came to defeating each colossus. The only other iss

Well, as predicted, the bill was found to be unconstitutional! It appears that Granholm is going to now appeal the decision, yet again more tax payer dollars.

Looks like I will be voting the other way this ti
