    You don't need drivers. Moto4lin works on OS X - or should. I use it on my linux box with no problems. There seems to be other software, too.

    Probably because they are well aware of Trademark law, and realize that they would lose the case since cars are in an entirely different market from webbrowsers and email clients?

    ...and a TV Show, and a bass guitar, and an MBA school (?!), a civilised (cough cough) 'fortified wine' ...not to mention a religious icon of the People Who Were Here First Before You Came, Took Away Our Land and Tried to Kill Our Culture .

    Probably a lot of prior art.

    Thunderbird is the ripple preferred by gentlemen of leasure everywhere.

    No what the shoppers at walmart marry after drinking as much boonsfarm as possible is fugly, the site just looks plain, which is way different from fugly.

  6. Re:"Thunderbird" is an awful name. by macmastery · · Score: 1 · on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.1 Released

    I live in the country of Texas. A 3 second Google search turns up this.

    The 5 (really cheap "fortified") wines include:
    - Night Train Express (see other comment above)
    - Thunderbird
    - Cisco

    OK. So maybe there's a precedent. That explains why my CSCO stock tanked.

    I guess I'll go look for a bottle (box?) of:
    - Transient's Treat
    - Ignorant Splashdotter Farms
    - Midnight Puddle
    - Garbage Gall(e)on
    - Dumpster Delight

    Insert Python (Monty) Australian Table Wines sketch here.

    Look at the screenshots. They are a total ripoff of Windows XP. Not original at all.

    No kidding. For those who care to compare:
    Can you see a difference? :)

  9. Not just cars... by zsazsa · · Score: 1 · on Phoenix and Minotaur Get New Names

    It'll also be sharing the name of the so-called "bum wine" Thunderbird.

    A radio jingle for perhaps the Gallos' most notorious product went like this: "What's the word? /Thunderbird/ How's it sold?/ Good and cold/What's the jive?/ Bird's alive/ What's the price?/ Thirty twice." According to author Ellen Hawkes, who wrote an unauthorized history of the Gallo family called Blood and Wine, Ernest later delighted in telling the story of driving through a tough, inner city neighborhood. Seeing a man on the sidewalk, Gallo rolled down his window and called out, "What's the word?" The immediate answer was, "Thunderbird."

  10. VQF for Win/Mac but no Linux yet by TheSync · · Score: 1 · on "MP3 death watch" article on CNN.com

    Keep in mind that MP3 is not actually an "open" system as in "open source software." You still have to license it from Fraunhofer/Thomson.

    Links to a Mac version of Yamaha SoundVQ can be found at VQF Kingdom.

    Currently there is NOT a Linux version, perhaps a Japanese-speaking Linux nerd can talk with the folks at NTT about licensing TwinVQ.

    There is a hardware VQF player coming out in Japan in fall 1999 called SolidAudio. You can read a review of the prototype here.
