Maybe you should talk to your browser manufacturer about including a little bar at the bottom of the screen that will show you what document the link is pointing at. Oh wait....
ok, so lets say that you do switch and start using your new fancy keyboard layout. How long will it be before you forget how to type on a qwerty keyboard? Think of the trouble you will be in when you try to use someone elses keyboard. Plus programs, like video games, that come with keys programmed to do certain tasks are usually setup to keep the keys together on a qwerty keyboard, and will have to be remapped every time you install a game. Lastly, my hands have never gone numb from typing on a qwerty keyboard.
I've been using an enlight case similar to this one It doens't flip down but it is very easy to work with as only one side panel comes off at a time. You also dont' have to worry about screws, the front holds the side panels on. My only issue with it is airflow. It has a fan slot in the front and back but the front didn't have any airholes. A little drilling solved this problem.
This sounds like basically an Online D&D game with a DM and such.
I don't know too many people that play traditional RPGs since everquest and UO came out. Do any folks still get around and play D&D? If not why dont' you? Is it because of time getting people together and whatnot. If so this could be the answer for you.
It sounds like a neat idea maybe it will take off.

I noticed at the bottom of the netcraft page it will tell you what day a site responded with different information. It also lists the IP address that was returned. The freebsd box is a totally different IP address than the Win2k box. This is not the first time microsoft has used Freebsd for running a production site. I think hotmail was and it might still be. They also has a few websites devoted to their video game division that were running freebsd.
Obviously the person who sent out that decree has either a. never used aol mail, or b. never used email in a corporate environment. AOL limits the number of messages and attachment sizes. Only lets you save the files in "AOL" format. Folders are limited, and you can't create rules. It is made for the old grandma and grandpa to be able to communicate with their grandkids and send them pictures and other cute little notes. If someone had done just 10 mintues of thinking on this they would have realized the mistake they were making.
Recently I had a problem with UPS delivering a package to a customer off of ebay. The customer put in a claim against me with paypal, and my account was frozen for about 2 months. I wrote to them almost daily and rarely got a response back from them. I searched their website for a phone number but was unable to find a customer service number for them. I finally did get it resolved, but only because the person who filed the claim failed to follow up after 2 months. To top this all off a month after this was resolved, and after the customer had cashed the refund check I sent him, he put in a dispute with his credit card which again put my paypal account on hold. This was resolved by faxing a copy of the cashed check to paypal.
One thing I will say favorably is that it does state in their terms that even if you owe them money they will not take it out of your bank account. THey will only go through legal channels to get the money.
Amen to that. You can get a nice "digital entertainment system" for 999 these days. Not to mention that you probably need a computer to make this thing useful anyway. But I do want to know.... does it a have a built in gnutella servant?
When you were on the set of TNG did you ever find yourself running into the automatic doors when there was no one there to open them for you? How about at your house or other places? Was this a problem for any of the other cast members? Did you ever find yourself going to grocery stores and running in and out of the doors just to make you feel better?
They restrict everything their people do, and spy on them all the time. I think that most people in america wouln't even support this legislation if they really knew what it was all about. These old guys in congress are really out of touch with the real world.
yes but it was sitting around on it's ass for 35 years. The opensource movement with linux and others is a very new thing that has only been successful because of other interest in computers. Almost everyone I know was using windows computers before they were using a linux box. There are exceptions to this.

I read through this bill and don't see anything about DRM mentioned. This bill only talks about creating counterfeit software, or phonorecords.
Can someone point out the portion of the billb that talks about DRM?

Maybe not.
that should be "it appears so" although it doesn't mention the linux version. This is also a security problem which may or maynot fix your problem.
it appears not I jsut got this post from bugtraq

The site I was refering to above is http://stats.zone.com. This is clearly an MSN site but it's running Linux not freebsd as I had stated previously.

Fear the power of CHUCK
somehow I knew I would get caught on that one
It really sucks that we can't moderate the slashdot stories down. Doesn't anyone besides me do real work on April 1?
Atleast there are no more stupid pigeon stories
this was right on topic with the comment it was in reply to. You stupid fucks need to learn how to read.
WTF does this have to do with anything? Get back to lala land.
SCORE 1 for FLAME BAIT!!
When are people going to give up on the pigeon jokes. These things are getting worse than the All Your Base rip-offs.
does it mention what changes were made?

How come I always read the news on the register before I read it here?

That depends on what the definition of "is" is
I'm still using my old monster 3d that I got 3 years ago. I guess it might be time to upgrde now.
