It would be one way to make sure that it only goes to fitting organizations. It si meant for non-profits. For example, take this very website. Slashdot.org has not been non-profit for a very long time.
As long as people are careful in the way they make passwords.
Don't use words from the dictionary. Don't use personal information. Do mix up alpha-numerica and uppercase/lowercase. Throw in some punctuation if allowed.
In other words: make it as randon as possible. This will make it more difficult to brute force crack.
It's not quite as customisable as AvantGo, but it does what is needed. You supply it with a webpage, and how many links deep to go, and it takes care of the rest. It also compresses the web page down to iSilo format, so it takes up less space.
But how readilly accessible will this be for the average family? Most families do not have geeks in them, and thus would not be aware of something like this. Until technology like this becomes as accessible as cable tv (and by accessible, I mean cheap and needing no effort to get set up) it will not be embraced by the average person.
My entire cd collection (approx. 500 cd's at this point) over to 192 kbps ogg files using rc2. I haven't noticed a difference listening to them in rc3 as of yet, however, the vbr seems to be behaving a bit differently. Before all files would show the range 190-210 approximately. Now some files go well below 190.
I have also noticed an increase in popularity for ogg files on gnucleus.
I think we need the government an the people to properly scrutinize any settlement suggested by Microsoft. Even maybe go sofar as letting them have no say in it whatsoever.
A big company like IBM to back it up. IBM definitely has the funds to take on the RIAA and the MPAA. And if this is less of a pain to use than say gnutella/mojonation, it will prove to be a lot more popular.
I'm not sure I agree that international hackers re the greatest threat here. If I were the US government, I'd be more concerned about the American script kiddies (for example when the CIA site was defaced).
You are trying to apply what are basically "real wat time strategies" to a game thatw asn't designed for them. The difference is that when Blizzard made Starcraft, they came up with their own new set of "strategies." The Terrans can do somethings eg: cloak their ships, etc. The Protoss are not capable of this, so you have to come up with a way to deal with that. You can do it by either having probes, or ground cannons. All in all, it is still very simplified, but with the amount of man hours required, it would not be feasible to implement real war time strategies into games at this point. It may not even be that fun for a single player/head to head game if we could.
Hasn't this always...

Palm OS Spinoff

been the plan? Even if it hasn't, it is never the less a good idea. It will put 3Com on the same footing as all the other PalmOS licensees. They will no longer have access to the latest features. We may also see the advances that are really needed to fully squash PowerPC (2002? I think that's the latest version) come from Palm, as opposed to licensees. The licensees won't have to work quite as hard to differentiate themselves from the Pocket PC devices. The really great advances will be standard across the majority of the devices.
It has a very good looking desktop. Yet behind that beauty it has the power of one of the most powerful operating systems in recent history. In the past it has been often immitated, but never equaled. Windows '95 was a direct rip of the current (at the time) version of MacOS. And yet it missed out on the important points. Sure I could put in a CD and it would autoplay it, but what if I wanted the contents of the disc that I had just inserted to be available to me at that instant from the desktop? On MacOS I wouldn't have to go through the the same old "My Computer->CD Rom Drive" nonsense.
Ease of use people. That's what it's all about. Apple has always had it, Microsoft keeps trying and missing, and Linux is getting there via comapnies like Mandrake and desktops like KDE.
Apple: Port OS X to the Intel platform. Microsoft is already running scared, now is the time to make them cower in fear.
It's not really that big of a deal. If you want to use a different program, all you have to do is start that program, and open the file that you want to use. All Microsoft is doing here is making things easier for the end user. If you want to stop using Word to open.doc files, remove it, and install Corel Office.
Other companies (as was pointed out in the article) have been doing this for years. Why is this suddenly such a big deal? Because the author needed to come up with a column. Pick something that wasn't a big deal, and turn it into one.
Microsoft should not be painted with such a black brush simply for trying to make it easier to be a user of their software.
How is the FSF better then the German lawyers that went after the author of KIllustrator? By the sounds of it, the FSF didn't ask Linus if he was concerned by this before they started writing about it.
I think the FSF should stay out of other people's business. If anyhting, they should have alerted Linus to the what was going on before saying something.
If there's any company that would be a great owner for Be, it's Palm. Both of them are the underdogs in their market. And, strangely enough to the same company... Microsoft. With the strength of both of these companies together, we finally may see someone that can take on Microsoft in both the desktop and palmtop marketplace. And the embedded arena. Just think of the possibilities.
The Audrey was ill fated, but maybe with the strength of the Be developpers behind them, Palm could expand their market a little!
Google is one of the greatest places on the internet to find what you are looking for. Instead of going onto IRC, and sounding like a complete tool, spend a little time looking for the information that you need.
RTFM!!
Sure it may be easier to go onto irc.opneprojects.net and ask a question in #debian, but try something else next time. You'll piss off a lot less open sourcers, and save yourself and myslef a lot of time. God knows I hate all the whiny questions.
So in summary: take a little time, and learn a few things through your own effort, before you go taking the easy way out.
I hate to say it, but only you can eventually ditch your mp3's. At this point, the sound quality is almost comparable (if not the same). I truly believe that the people that complain about ogg not having the sound quality of mp3 are just to lazy to try and find out if their is a difference.
And if their is, take one for the team! Stop using mp3's, and completely reencode your entire cd collection into.ogg files.
Could you please let us know, in advance next time, how long your next series will be? We run a pool here at work, and whoever guesses the correct number of entries in your series. I keep losing.
Screw that, just email me the answer. I'll split the winnings with you.
If Microsoft is going to get told not to ship WinXP... This would be the perfect chance for Apple to release osX on x86 hardware. Something to think about Apple...
All the users that no longer bought the store released product from Mandrake wanted some way of giving back to the company that put out (arguably) one of the best Linux distributions for them. And made it available for free download. Thus the idea of a donation page. Where users that downloaded isos would be able to give a little back to Mandrake for their nice work.
While there have been a few original independant films in the past, this sounds like a complete retread. Boy moves away, comes back years later to find out that his fondly remembered home has changed, and not in the good way. He makes a movie about it.
And he's probably doing it for the money too. After having realized that he may have gotten the girl and gotten rich had he stuck around.
Another indie film I will not be seeing. Oh yeah, and coming soon to a theatre near you: Blair Witch 2.
I submitted a story about a petition to have Halo ported to the PC/Mac. Since the take over of Bungie by Microsoft, it has been an X-Box only title. Would this story have intersted people?
On the story submission page I wouldn't mind seeing who rejected my story, and maybe a reason for its rejection.

Doesn't he have to be a licensed Star Wars toy distributor?

Will this only recognize mp3 files on fat partitions? It'd be nice if it could be used to recognize mp3's on an ext2/BeOS/MacOS formatted drive.
Will it need disk space if it connects to your PC?
