Re:I think it's an inside job
Don't overrule smart "consumers". As you pointed out they simply direct the manufacturer to produce a million cards in this number sequence The numbers ARE sequential (to some degree - they do need to pass some mod10 check or alike - not too different than credit cards), which means - you only ned one card number, and then a way to check the status of other numbers (available online). To redeem at store - get hold of a mag stripe writer and just use the same card (nicely branded) with your new numbers.
Also - many retailers have the cards just lying around the store - flip them over and if you are lucky (B&N, Borders, CVS, etc...) the card number is just there. Write it down, and wait for someone to activate it (buy it). the rest is up to you.
Again - all you have to do is be an observant shoper - what do the cards look like, are they sequential, is the card numbered covered with a scratch-off (better security), etc... Because most of these gift cards ride on the Visa/MC/AMEX networks, they have to conform to these rules, thus have easily guessable numbers, stupid PIN numbers etc...

Re:Would you like some fries with that elitism?
Parent is probably going to get offtopic or flamebait, but I just had to:
You know what - days like this just make me a little bit more proud to be running debian on my system. I have tried them all (well - the most popular ones and the ones that were supposed to fit me and weren't so popular), and oh boy - debian always comes back the winner.
So we might be a small elitist group with our funky little packaging systems (don't SuSe and RH/FC come out with an APT compatible system - still based on RPM but they are getting there...), and the lack of fancy GUI admin utilities (webmin anyone?). Bu it is the cleanest simplest fastest Linux I have worked with thus far.

Re:Why do we care?
Because I have just noticed it (and have been playing GTA:VC for quite a while now...) and it really rocks!
Why can't we say kudos to something that is not completely OS and shareable and hackable etc... These guys did a great job, the game is rock solid, and the gameplay really rocks.
Kudos.

Re:The point of SPF
Exactly the point. I'd love to see that the spam I get is tagged with SPF - will make scripting and filtering the spam even easier with a way to actually track down precisely where the spam is coming from.

Re:I had so much hope
I still have hope. Even created an SPF entry on my DNS for my mail servers.
My hope is that logic will eventually win (which does not see to be the popular outcome unfortunately). The MS stuff will vanish as support for it will dwindle. Also - remember what mail servers run most of the net - sendmails...

Re:Great step towards compatibility
Actually... only 3 left (gmail was down for a short while, second invite just been sent).
And if you would have bothered to actually read - you would see that I have already seen a friend get an iPod from that - why do you think I am here so late in the game.
No need for profanities, and your logic seems a little flawd - If I would have gotten one already, why would I need to put this as my sig. bitch. (you know what - you are right - this is fun calling you bitch...)

Great step towards compatibility
Just hope that HP and Sun follow lead and will make things a little easier.
Thus far you could somehow mix'n'match components for standard servers (rack mountable or not), but blades were like hacking a SOHO router...
Wonder how fast will the component manufacturers respond to this and start making parts available (i.e. - we will stop paying exuberant prices for replacement parts from the big guys...)

Re:Wow, albums are 9 CENTS cheaper@!!@#!!!!!
Firms in oligopoly cannot compete on price.
If MSN undercuts iTunes, iTunes will simply lower their price. End result? Less profit for both.
Therefore, firms in oligopoly must compete on quality of services.

Re:Monopoly?
This would be a monopolistic situation if Apple had 98% market share
A monopoly, as defined in the United States, is having greater than 25% market share in any particular market. Whether the iPod holds this sort of market share cannot be confirmed as we don't know the scope of the market.
That said, holding a monopoly is not illegal. What would be illegal is if Apple were to use this monopoly as leverage to gain an unfair advantage in another market. Apple is not doing this. Microsoft did.

Interesting times for a competition like that
Now that M$ is all over the place with trying to find a "Google remedy", the dropping of the WinFS from the upcoming Longhorn (as if it was really "upcoming"...), Google seems like it is twisting the knife when highly skilled (I hope) hackers will come up with new ways to expand the capabilities/uses of the "G"...

But Context is everything...
Imagine that I run a site which talks about music in general or just hip-hop, jazz or whatever. Those kinds of people can slip little ads into their site which make sense. It's a lot easier than just telling people to venture to their local [INSERT ANTIQUE FORMAT] store and grabbing one off the shelf.
I, for example, have a political website. Right now there are lots of good political books that relate exactly to the content of my site. It makes sense to have a "click here to buy this" after book quotes. What doesn't make sense is putting them on every page even where they don't belong. (Not that I take advantage of this because I can't find a good affiliate program that does this, amazon IIRC doesn't offer this anymore).
Sure, you'll get google-bombed pages which have nothing but "buy this song" links but out there someone can turn his or her hobbie into a cash cow. It may not be much money - but to the site's readers it means the site may be up next year come domain/hosting renewal time.
Although, can you imagine the possibility with iTunes affiliate programs? Music has a much broader appeal. I can put my favorite song's name and artist name in my Slashdot sig, just to get people turned on to their music. It would be annoying for everyone to link to Britney Spears or some other pop-star, but obscure music could be marketed for almost nothing.
The cool thing is that you can help support your favorite artist and get a kickback while doing it. The reason that Britney and company are so popular is because people vote with their dollars. If there is suddenly a huge surge in Jaco Pastorius songs sold on iTunes maybe radio stations will get a clue and stop following the RIAA's lead.

HmmI doubt this is going to take off. Since we have enough problems with people enabling protection in the first place. Unless companys start requiring it, which won't happen because my local ISP gives you a wireless access point with service. But they do not enable WEP or any encryption on the devices.

As everyone have probably heard, there are 2 sites, 1 offering Free Flat Screen TVs, and 1 offering Free I-pods. Basically you sign up and complete one offer, and get 8 people to complete an offer as u as the referrer.
**Heres the trick** When they ask you to signup for a service, signup for the one free month of Netscape. Once you complete the signup, call netscapes 800 number and cancel your account, and you wont get billed a dime. 1-866-541-8233 is the 800 number. I got credit for the complete and so did the other people I have told about this.

Avid FireFox user...
Since the 0.9.3 security update release of FireFox, I have had a significant number of browser crashes lately.
As much as I love FireFox, may IE burn in hell, I have become quite frustrated with FireFox. Yes, I realize that it's not version 1.0 yet, but being this close to 1.0, I never had it crash once until 0.9.3 was installed.
I was truly hoping that this would have been an update article to my favorite browsers.

A more complex situation would be in airports with multiple WiFi access points, including the airports own network. I have seen multiple airports where there is a pretty strong signalled network with SSID of "airport" or "mobileunits" that is wep protected. Can't think of the number of times I fired up kismet and started to save WEP packets for cracking (hey - curiosity killed the cat right?). Can't think of a way I would get busted for doing so (quickly switch over to another SSID, change MAC address...)

Smart move, although probably not what we expect
Smart move Nintendo. Use a proven technology, and enable better GAMING experience.
Did anyone really think that this will be done just so we can make free calls in hotspots?
1. Nintendo, gaming, voice chat... rings a bell? The main application will probably be to connect to other unites so people can talk to each other while they play.
2. VOIP to any number will require a gateway to the POTS which costs $$$ (where Vonage makes their money on...).

Microsoft
Somehow, it seems appropriate that while I'm writing this, the Microsoft TCO of Linux ad keeps showing.
What I think is most unfortunate is when a company hypes a product, with features people actually want, delays it, then finally releases it, but not as good as promised. Microsoft has done this in the past, but it looks like they may be taking the time to get Longhorn up to snuff.
It will be interesting to see if Half-Life 2 lives up to the hype.

Re:Interesting, but realistic? - Yes...
Clearly there is a performance benefit in both bandwidth and latency respects in multithreading/multioperating in this manner, but it's not difficult to see that the footprint limits the factor to which this technique can be exploited
Actually - if you have two cores on the same die you can minimize the needed bus transport path and use processor scale path => less heat... you still need the same components to provide the bus external to the two processors, but the speed gains from having a dual core should not have an impact on the heat dissipation other than just having two cores to cool down (and with modern HSF technology that is not a problem - If I can cool down a P4 3Ghz with a quiet HSF combo - AMD can do it too...)

Re:Compare Apples and dells
What's your point? that Apple is more price worthy than the dell?
All I see is crappier graphics on the dell side, and half the storage on the dell side as well.
Add to that the comparison (if there is any) between WinXP home edition and Mac OS-X and you clearly have a winner (and the dell has a REALLY crappy video card - don't even get me started on that).
Point in case - (no pun intended), the apple wins hands down (and the style, ohhh the style [drewl]).

Re:no barcodes, please
The system I refer to cannot be used to "circumvent" the voter. The barcode is nothing more than a small checksum. The vote is still read optically, perhaps using the same optical scanners we have today. The difference is that it is ran through an algorithm, to make sure that what was printed matches the barcode. The voter can see the part of the ballot that gets counted. If the checksum fails, it's simply counted by hand. No less secure than the punch card system we have today, and less room for error.
Printing out a seperate piece of paper lets the voter walk away with proof of who he voted for. Forcing him to turn it in on the way out makes it harder, but abuses can (and have) happened in the past.
Also, it doesn't technically _need_ to be punched. It could also be printed on (like a Scantron).
