I'm pretty sure it was the crypto. Transfer rate from an unencrypted partition was about 5MB/s (blame that on a cheap 10/100 hub). The K6-2 is a pretty weak processor compared to your PIII even at 400Mhz. Also I didn't try LoopAES yet on that box, it was using the CryptoAPI patch from kerneli.org on a 2.2 kernel. If LoopAES is that much faster, I'd be real happy.
Ha, that reminds me of Atari advertising that the Jaguar console was 128bits. It actually had 2 64 bit graphics coprocessors. So according to Atari math, that must make 128 bits.

LoopAES for Linux can encrypt your swap partition and your root partition (all it needs a small unencrypted/boot partition). Unfortunately, there is a big overhead in CPU usage. I tried CryptoAPI for the 2.2 kernels, and on my K6-2 400 Mhz file server it dropped transfer rate to 1.2MB/s. Assuming linear CPU scaling, you'd need about a 2 Ghz just to keep up with 100Mb fast ethernet.
"What's wrong with the music companies taking the cost of touring, recording, distribution and advertising from the revenue earned by an act?"
They're charging all these expenses against the band's 10-15% royalty and pocketing the rest for themselves (minus the retail markup). That's like telling a salesperson he gets a 10% commission on sales, but you deduct rent, phone and any other misc expenses off his commission check.
Almost every car made since the 70s has had electronic ignition. Early ones were analog and used mostly discrete components, but they still wouldn't survive an EMP. About the only thing that would still work is points and magneto ignitions.
But they did include the Saab 9-3 with Bluetooth and the Audi A8 with a Multi Media Interface that looks just as complex as BMW's Idrive. No word on which embedded OS Audi is using.
Still, those stories about the 745i are funny, like these from Autoweek:
"Many owners' cars have been suffering from an overwhelming number of electrical problems, from faulty tire pressure monitor readings to clocks that would run slow, to headrests that popped up on their own. One reader actually got a "limited danger of complete transmission failure" warning from his car--for no reason."

EmBSD is a similar project, but they haven't had a release in almost 2 years and the main embsd.org site is down, although the download mirrors and sourceforge page are still up.
So use a prepaid cellphone that you bought under an alias. That's pretty much untraceable if you cover your tracks properly. To send the fax, lots of airport payphones have modem jacks. A decent PDA with a fax modem could probably store the fax and send it.
Hopefully they'll give the DTV broadcasts a decent bitrate. Some of the digital cable and satellite channels I've seen have horrible MPEG artifacts like blockiness and banding. Do they give the less popular channels a lower bitrate?
Do you mean unobtrusive DRM like in this review? The NetMD walkman is upload only and it won't play MP3 files directly. The bundled software converts it to their OpenMG format which is copy protected AND you take a big hit in sound quality because you're converting from one lossy codec to another AND it slows down uploading unless you want to duplicate your music collection in OpenMG files. If you think that's annoying, that's only after their 1st generation of players flopped badly due to even more intrusive DRM. Try googling for a review of the Sony Music Clip. I'll admit that Sony has good design and their CRT televisions have good picture quality, but overall their build quality has gone downhill especially on their stuff not made in Japan. It's not crap, but it doesn't justify their higher prices compared to other consumer electronics makers either.
Ebay does allow you to sell OEM Windows if you bundle it with hardware (even just a mouse or keyboard). Of course, if you ask Microsoft, they'll interpret it in the strictest possible way, but for purposes of selling on Ebay, you probably won't have a problem. That also assumes that the Windows CD is a full install CD (not a image restore CD) and the certificate of authenticity is in a separate book and not a sticker on the computer case (Dell does this).
CD burners have pretty much reached the end of the road for development, and there's not much money to be made at these prices. My Liteon 52x costs about $55, and you can't spin a CD much faster than 52x without it disintegrating (that's 52x on the outer tracks which is about 24x on the inner tracks at the same rpm). Kenwood has made faster CDROM drives using multiple lasers to read, but noone's tried it with CD-Rs yet.
It doesn't have to fool a human inspector, just an OCR algorithm working on a fuzzy video feed. Just print random license plate numbers on paper in the same font and hold it up in your back window when you pass a camera. You don't even have to drive. Just hold up the papers while you walk by a camera. Might as well see how their.NET servers stand up to a good crap-flooding.
I saw this in an Apple magazine ad about 20 years ago. Some guy's house burned down and his Apple II was inside. The case was all charred and melted, but when they plugged it in, it still worked.
It's true that the x86 instruction set is a relic of another time when perhaps conserving memory space was more important than speed, but the problem of pipelining and OOE has already been solved. x86 instructions are decoded into RISC-like micro-ops which are then fed to the different pipelines and execution units. The decoder does incur extra overhead compared to a pure RISC chip, but at the core, an Athlon or P4 isn't that different from a PPC or Alpha.
Yeah, it'll work, but it probably won't be til 2050 that computers get fast enough to run at close to the original speed in Bochs. What's so hard about emulating x86 anyway? I can run 68K Mac software in Basilisk II with about a 8 to 1 speed hit because of the emulation. Bochs is closer to 100 to 1.
The sad part is, in 2050 proprietary s/w like Virtual PC or SoftPC still won't be public domain yet.

"6 computers driving various functions and that to replace them would total $10,000"
If you bought them retail as spare parts from a dealer service dept, yes, it's maybe $10,000. But as a percentage of the retail price of your car it's probably closer to $2500. The cost to the maker is probably half that even counting R&D.
It's been estimated that if you bought the parts to assemble a $15,000 car, it would cost over $40,000. It's a combination of things, but mostly it's economies of scale and pricing what the market will bear. There is an incentive to simplify components and cut production costs, but it's not even close to the spare parts prices at your dealer.

He clearly states that the user has a choice of Certificate Authorities. That means users should be able to self sign certificates just like with OpenSSL, and Redhat or FSF could issue their own certificates if they wanted to use TCPA features. Your RIAA-approved media player won't run if you booted with a self-signed TCPA certificate, but that just means you can't play RIAA-approved content you downloaded from a future Pressplay-type online service. That's not any different from today where there's virtually no RIAA content legally downloadable on the Internet.

XWinX is a similar project that exports a windows desktop to a remote X server. It can't run rootless yet, but that is a planned feature.
