That's a very short-sighted mindset. God knows how many people subscribed to SciFi just because it had Farscape. When it was cancelled, the shit hit the fan so badly that SciFi were practically forced into allowing the Peacekeeper Wars.
That's pretty much it. When law students study the RIP act, the smart ones will often e-mail an encrypted message to their lecturer and ask them to keep hold of it for a presentation. When the presentation comes about, the law student then points out that the lecturer can't prove he is unable to decrypt it and thus could be locked away indefinitely for even having it.
One of the big problems with the RIP act is that it assumes guilt until proven innocent. You have to *prove* you don't know the password. The government can lock you away without trial until you do cough up the password, even if you can't.
My point is that "high speed" would mean a massive jump in speed. Syncing one or two songs wouldn't be a big deal, but people like me have music collections much larger than the capacity of our players and thus transfer 100s of MB at a time. I'd rather do that in five minutes in the morning than set it off at night and hope it's done by the time I leave for work in the morning.
Bluetooth is 100 times slower than USB 1.1, which in of itself is considered too slow for HD-based players. Bluetooth would need a hell of a speed bump to be useful for HD-based players.
I rarely delete stuff from my hard drive these days unless it's getting full. Instead, I just archive them away in various directories os they're not in the way. Is there really any point in deleting it if you don't have to?
My hoarding nature has saved me on more than one occasion. The fact that I don't delete non-spam e-mail ever has saved a friend of mine from very serious legal trouble and my boss has the annoying habit of sending me somewhere and neglecting to warn me that I'll need to take a copy of the demo system from a completely different presentation. Thankfully, I still had it, so she didn't end up unable to fulfill her promises.
But what do you do about people behind a NAT? Personally, I think this is all a problem that really shouldn't exist. It was drilled into my head at uni that polling = BAD, not to mention that polling badly scales, as we're seeing here.
Let's see you build something as responsive, usable and practical as GMail without using Javascript.
OK, let's try something easier. I've got a table with many rows where each row contains two sets of radio buttons. When one of the radio buttons in the first set is selected, you shouldn't select an answer in the second set. Thus, I use Javascript to disable the second set of radio buttons when that particular option is chosen. Care to tell me how to do that using regular HTML?
Crusade was buggered over by TNT. Anyhow, keep in mind that the first season of B5 was episodic and only hinted at what was to come. Crusade was the same; JMS actually planned to have the ship find the cure early in the second season, discover some massive plot involving earth and shadow technology and end up essentially on the run from Earth Force.
But EA employees are not hired to do a task, they're hired to work X hours per week. If I had a contract that said "you will deliver a product to these specs for £X," that's all well and good. However, that is clearly not the case here.

I'm more worried about being able to release in that case.
Yup, and I'll hate Jack Straw for the RIP Act until my dying day, where I'll be too concerned that I'm about to die to hate him specifically.

what good is data retention, when you are unable to decrypt it?

Have you considered that it might well be because it's playing in a niche part of the market?
It's the first HD-based MP3 player to have completely open firmware and hardware schematics. Did you really think that wouldn't make the front page?!
By that line of reasoning, the Windows NT line is a Win32 emulator.
Care to tell us how?
I think you need to learn the difference between adjectives and nouns...

Who needs blink when you can achieve the same thing in CSS :O

I've got a PIII laptop that's stuck at 333MHz and it'll run Windows XP reasonably well.

Are you certain the MSN protocol is that extensible?
Give him a couple of weeks and I imagine he would be managing OK, which is better than most people manage in two years.
There's a good number of us who did. However, how would you suggest adding such functionality to MSN Messenger without Microsoft's blessing?
Except the "Netscape Browser version 0.5.3 - based on Firefox 0.9.3" part.
