That's what I was afraid of as well.
I didn't start donating until the ridiculous rates from a few years ago kicked in, but here's hoping they keep going strong.

I'm thinking it would be best to just wait until they post on their blog about how it affects them. Either it'll be a huge sigh of relief, or a kick in the pants.

(Oh, if only I had mod points...)

There's a drink on the market called Function : Urban Detox. It has N-acetylcysteine in it, and claims that drinking it will help prevent/remove a hangover.

Didn't think it might have an effect on APAP digestion, but after seeing that, it looks like it could help.

Submission + - Twitter users buy more music than average (arstechnica.com) 1

Death Metal writes: "Those who use Twitter buy more music than those who don't, making the Twitter-using demographic valuable to the music industry. That's the conclusion of a new report from the NPD Group, which tracked the music buying habits of nearly 4,000 Internet users. The firm found that the crossover between music buyers and Twitter users is higher than the general Internet-using population, and that this segment spends more on music than the average user."

I am appalled at the absence of chemE's. Time to "accidentally" shut down some refineries and raise the price of gas.

-Or watch everything in our local markets double in price.

Plastics interested me the most into Chem. Eng., and it really is hard to imagine where we'd be without it in the future, if that were to unfortunately happen.

Going from XP to 7 Beta1 (and now RC), am I the only one who feels that the improved performance issues of Windows 7 may actually work? I installed a copy of the RC on my laptop, and it worked beyond what I expected. The Laptop was "powerful" enough for Vista, and it couldn't even compare to the performance my laptop was giving me currently.
I installed the Beta on my desktop, and only had one issue that isn't worth the words to complain about.
I know Vista may have been a flop to some people, but this just seems like a repeat of about 8-10 years ago. When ME came out, users found it abyssmal. But the solution seemed to be to go from 98SE to XP, and everyone was content.

This just seems like repeated history to me, as everyone jumps the XP ship for 7, because Vista is still taking water.

P.S. It's rather late here, apologies in advance. I'm probably rambling by now.

Aside from HD Blu-ray discs and the like, would it somehow try to scale down a video file that was encoded at the same resolution as 720P/etc?

And as for Audio DRM, seems like a swift kick to the user's pants. I read that it was going to be "added", but was hoping it'd be in the final, not a RC.
