Ray, his professor, wanted to know "whether porting Linux to the N64 was feasible."
The author of the page determined it was not (or that he does not have enough time to do it), so instead he sets a simpler goal for himself:
My end goal is to develop a cable and interface a PC and the N64. For example, I want to have the N64 be able to browse a HD, or a PC issue simple commands, such as changing the color on the monitor.
I really think the lead-in for this article is misleading. He's not porting Linux to his N64.
In an article from Jan. 3 at The Standard, it says: The court also ordered that RealNetworks post a $1 million bond should the court later find that the restraining order was wrongfully issued.
So, does this mean Streambox will be receiving a large cash infusion?
Is a million enough to effect RealNetwork's operations?
I had a thought a long time ago about this. My thought was that Moderators should be given Unlimited -1/10 OTTroll points, which any given moderator can only apply once to any given post. Then when 10 Moderators have all agreed that a particular post is obvious off-topic trolling (or the similar), that post loses 1 point without any Moderators having had to give up Mod points unnecessarily.
I would guess the Google people were referring to their business practices. Theirs is a selective search engine with only a small part of the web covered. As such, it behooves them to link sites with quality content. I do not think they meant responsibility as in legal liability. I think they meant responsibility as in we link to sites with useful/informative content.

Quick workaround:

To avoid encountering the "too many open streams" message, set up multiple accounts with unique username/password's. If it's your music which you are entitled to listen to, you should be able to stream as many instances of a song (or multiple songs together) as you want. After all, you paid for it.

MP3.com's Beam-It

If this is some off-base reference to figuring out the de-css scheme for DVD's, remember that it was done on Windows. In particular, it was done because there was not a linux port.
Based on this one instance it would appear that not having a linux port can lead to full-exposure of protocol. Then again, maybe that is the intention.
When that song plays over and over again in my head, am I violating copyright? Have I stolen some one else's property? Does the same apply to ideas?
If I have the means to catch something, and the person who made the thing I've caught still keeps their creation, have I stolen?
I never said it was (though it is). The point is that Microsoft requires you to download and install its web-browser before you can update the OS. This is an artificial requirement. (And it violates the Consent decree Microsoft signed.) It's funny, but Microsoft seems to think that breaking the law is an innovation.
The above is definitely not Off-Topic. Psiren got the first post and he asks the most obvious question which the article raises: Why is Beam-It in the title yet Beat It in the body of the article when apparently they are both references to the same program/service.
I expect it is called Beam-It, but I cannot go and check this personally since the my.mp3 subdomain seems to be down//.'d.
Posters below say Beam-It. Makes sense. References to Michael Jackson seem to no longer sell music and references to masterbation get U.S. Surgeon General's fired.
It will be interesting to see how this service fares and more interesting to see what it evolves into in the future. With broadband access at home, work, and in the car (plus wireless transmitters when jogging or working out), you may never have own a physical CD again, just the license. This could either be a Good Thing or a Very Bad Thing, depending on how future legislation (such as UCITA) turns out...
Marathon 2 (M2) was definitely 3d. Though the monsters may have only existed in a plane, that plane followed you to where-ever your viewpoint was, so in that sense it mimicked 3d more than adequately. The world in which you move inside the game is completely 3-dimensional, rendered in real-time, and even allowed for 4th-dimensional maps. I won't explain that last thing. It's in there and it's an amazing feature which makes for some spooky gameplay.
If you really want to get technical, none of this shit (d1,d2,q1,q2,q3,m1,m2,m*, etc) is 3-d since your looking at a flat 2-d screen. It's all an illusion. The illusion M2 present(ed) was/is as good as Quake1 and, as has already been stated, Marathon 2 was released a full year before Quake.
Um, how can you tell from a static screenshot whether or not a game is 'real3D'?
The game was really cool too. It was pre-Quake but much better than Doom. The Net games were intense and charged. Good maps all around and a really intense soundtrack. You will be impressed if you play it.
How is that FUD? Remember the word has a very specific meaning. It was invented in reference to tactics by IBM. These tactics are the lifebread of microsoft's current operations.
FUD/fuhd/ An acronym invented by Gene Amdahl after he left IBM to found his own company: "FUD is the fear, uncertainty, and doubt that IBM sales people instill in the minds of potential customers who might be considering [Amdahl] products." The idea, of course, was to persuade them to go with safe IBM gear rather than with competitors' equipment. This implicit coercion was traditionally accomplished by promising that Good Things would happen to people who stuck with IBM, but Dark Shadows loomed over the future of competitors' equipment or software.
Cancer is all about cloning. In fact, cancer is caused by cloning. Certain cells develop an error in their genetic make-up which tells them to clone themselves, even when they should not. The initial cell's copy (a clone) then has the same error, so it too replicates (clones) itself.
Eventually, you have a tumor. This mass of cancer cells (cells which clone/replicate when they should not) then either becomes malignant or begign. It's benign if it stops with all the unnecessary cloning, malignant if it keeps on cloning when it shouldn't and then spreads throught the body. Death follows.
In sum, clone research is a Very Good Thing and necessary. In particular, it will lead to further developments in curing cancer. So you are wrong.
You also wouldn't believe the number of redhat owners that continue to do so well after they've been off linux. Or Solaris admins, for that matter...
I'm confused as to what you mean here. I'm not too familiar with redhat owners who are well off linux. Seems vaguely contradictory. Maybe just vague.
... as stated by Microsoft itself...
Because microsoft is such a good source of accurate information?
... If gaming was the only objective, they would have never implimented all the security, added directory services, file and printer sharing, so-called "zero management" / remote administration,...
Microsoft's implementation of security, if you'll read the article for this post, is severely lacking. Other features sound like old (very old) news for what is suppose to be a brand-new OS. And what about the promised scalability?
Sorry, but this OS wasn't designed just to play Quake.
That's too bad. It might have been useful...:-)
Yeah, isn't that called HAL, or the Hardware Abstraction Layer present in NT4 and W2K? Virtualize everything and put the hardware behind a complex API and then make damn sure the kernel is stable.
It's unfortunate that microsoft doesn't like to fully share it's APIs with the outside world. Plus, even when there are good open alternatives, ms keeps insisting on using proprietary technologies for too many things, including it's video (think active-x; then try openGL).
That's also false - a recently leaked report indicates they intend to break MS up into several "baby bills".
How do you know? Open-sourcing is as much an alternative as baby-billing. The recent 'leak' has not been substantiated, so, it's just a rumor.
If you read the bible you'd know that humans and animals, such as monkey, are separate and different. We were made in God's image. Monkeys were made using a silly animal mold (with not enough butts).
Anyways, just trying to weld your topic into that of your sig:

Well, I was hoping you could shead some light (or darkness really) onto this. I guess my ancestors didn't take enough bites of that Apple...
And, my, was it tasty... like a perfect M&M. Soft, rich chocolate in a smooth candy shell. (But it melted both and in my hand and in my mouth.)
The best was feeling her sweet, velvety lips suckle my rock-hard shaft and then placing my saliva-moistened penis inside her. I swear she had full control of her muscles down below -- like a Jedi princess should. (The force is a wonderful thing!)
He did not commit a crime. The law was applied retro-actively in direct violation of the constitution of the United States of America (ex post facto). He was held without charge or due process.

I've got to say that you're really out to lunch in your knowlege of how Microsoft screwed over Caldera (and pretty much everybody else) in the last ten years. In order to destroy the market for DR-DOS, microsoft inserted an extra piece of code to detect DR-DOS and tell users that Windows was not compatible. In fact, Windows was compatible, microsoft's software lied to the enduser. This deceit lead to people believing that DR-DOS could not be used with Windows, so people used MS-DOS instead. Monopoly status, or not, lying to increase your market share is against the law. It's called fraud, and it's what microsoft is all about.

The author, Brian Livingston, is, in his own words, a "Windows sympathizer", so even if he isn't the Windows Manager, the sentiment's the same.
Roblimo was quoting the submission. Close enough (unless you're one of Microsoft's hair-splitting attorneys). Win98 is not an upgrade to Win95. WTF.
