Who had actually purchased it from another company and rebranded it as their own

You really need them as PDF? Otherwise it's surprising how many are available online. I don't know much about the console mags & C64 mags because I was a Speccy / Amiga owner, but I know many mags are archived online by enthusiasts (often WITH covertapes, posters, silly 3D pullouts etc).

A few I know of:

LONG LIVE THE PAST!!!

Does anyone know what the deal is with the kerneli patch? Short of an unofficial hacked patch to work with newer kernels, kerneli hasn't been updated since 2.4.3, and there seems to be some serious issues currently with file corruption when using kerneli with 2.4 series kernels. Alternative projects like cryptoapi and loop-aes have sprung up from currently foobar'd kerneli, and while they work great, I can't help but wonder what's going on with the kerneli project that it hasn't been updated in so long.

Whoever said that this was like a seventh grade report was right. This revolution came as no accident to people involved in it. Someone like Stafford Beer and other people working in cybernetics have held the changes in communication and the ability to move and access information could have profound positive effects on freedom. For starters try to find Stafford's book Designing Freedom, which is short, readable, and provides a great outline on how management cybernetcs might be applied both to individual freedom and a system as complex as a nation state at the same time. His concepts are further developed in his work on Syntegration.

The "Balkanization" mentioned is no such thing. In Beer's model it is essential that such "variety attenuation" occur. Think back to 1994, the big problem was that there was too much information (variety) on the web and no way to organize it in a useful fashion -- this would explain why search engines were among the first successful (ok, that is arguable) web ventures. Too much variety, not enough information. The lack of organization actually made the web less useful.

The question that everyone should be asking is this: should variety attenuation be a matter of of the government or industry, or should it be a matter of individual choice.

Where is the MPEG of it walking around someones house?

Take a look at Ella the Cat's homepage. OK, it's the original Aibo, but the movies are MPEG so you don't need a weird codec, and it is our house it's walking around.

you can always look at it the other way around > here's how to remove windows and install linux ;) removewin

Before using the words geek, our friends may want to know of the dictionary definition. I don't know the exact wording but there are 2 variants:
1: A sideshow of a circus whose act entails digging a large pit in which their act is performed
2: A sideshow of a circus of which the act involves biting the heads off live chickens and snakes.

Please use the word more carefully.
