What I want to know most is if you will be able to use this thing to reclaim interrupts which are usually used for PS/2 keyboard (IRQ2, I think), serial 1 (IRQ4) and 2 (IRQ3) and parallel port (often IRQ7).
IRQ12, which is usually for the PS/2 Mouse, is probably the only interrupt that can be reclaimed.
IRQ5 can probably be used by the on board sound.
If you can't reclaim the resources, then dropping the connectors on the back is a step backwards, not a step forwards. And they probably can't reclaim the IRQ's because it would break compatibility with everything out there.
It is one thing to press CD's of music and try to sell them as if you are the original publisher. However, it is something completely different to allow friends or coworkers to copy your CD's when no money is involved.
Now, if IIS was offering access to the server to its customers as part of their service fees, then I can see how that would be a problem.
Because every picture would be of whatever car happened to be in front of him at the time, with a different landscape background for each shot.
Anyway, there really isn't supposed to be much continuity between successive shots. You're supposed to look at the whole thing. It would actally be quite amazing to see prints of all of these shots lined up from east to west. If you made them 5x7's, though, they would line up to 1927 feet, 4 inches or about 0.36 mile. And that's with no space between each print. I guess you could get it to a quarter mile by using 4x6 prints. However, there aren't many gallerys with a quarter mile wall.
Wow. That is terrible. I hope you forward this to Apple and maybe they can fix it. This would be a dealbreaker for me. For a desktop machine, you can easily plug in a Sun Type 6 USB UNIX layout keyboard, but for a laptop, there isn't really a whole lot you can do. And if you can't remap CapsLock, you're screwed.
I think the best option would be for Apple to offer a UNIX layout for their keyboards just like Sun does. They already build something like 30 different keyboards for different parts of the world. One more isn't going to kill them. In fact, it would probably be popular.
Not all. There are quite a few Republicans who are pro-choice and there are lots of southern conservative Democrats who are strongly pro-life. In the pro-choice Republican arena there is Richard Riordan, who was the mayor of Los Angeles and who ran for California Governor. He lost the Republican primary election, however, and it's going to be Bill Simon who goes up against the Democrat Gray Davis in the full election. That was an interesting primary by the way. Gray Davis actually paid for millions of dollars in television ads slamming Riordan for being pro-choice. Basically, he figured that he wouldn't be able to win against a pro-choice Republican, so he did everything he could not to have to run against him. Davis, a Democrat, used his millions of dollars in the campaign money he got from out of state interest groups (mostly energy companies) to sway the Republican primary.
It's fairly easy to demagnetize a "permanent" magnet. Just heat it up or smack it around a lot to dislodge the poliarized atoms and make it random (neutral) again.
Porting the flac player to the Rio Receiver should be fairly straightforward, since there is a linux player and the Rio Receiver runs Linux. I'd be suprised if someone hasn't done it already.
The reason they did it in C was so that all the functions could be used from C programs and so that bindings could be made for every other language out there, including "object oriented" languages like Ruby, Objective C, Java, OCaml, Perl 5-6, etc.
Only an insane person would actually try to write an ordinary program that uses GTK in C (unless they're using GladeXML).

The graphical junk is "fluff" added because it's a movie. The capabilities are real though. Remotely downloading a file, planting malicious code in a supertanker control program, etc.

"Hackers" was actually technically accurate in what could and could not be done with computers and technology. "The Net" was the movie where they made stuff up. So were "Swordfish" and "Sneakers".
"Hackers" is usually criticized because it is a "teen exploitation film". Teenagers are oppressed by adults and authority figures and in the end they save the world from disaster and are finally appreciated. The graphical visual elements of the computing scenes are superfluous, but the capabilities of those systems do not go into the "supernatural" realm like they do in "Sneakers" or "The Net".
No. PS2/Linux will only run Linux programs. Any PS2/Linux program will run on any other Linux machine with the same device abstraction layer by recompiling (for example to x86/Linux or PPC/Linux).
As far as I know, you don't get to develop against hardware accelerated PS2 graphics. The hardware abstraction layer that is on the boot DVD-ROM works like a BIOS and abstracts all the calls to the hardware. A Linux driver provides an unaccelerated frame buffer, and that's all you get.
I have a feeling that any low-level stuff is sufficiently prohibited.
Also, I doubt you'll be able to recompile a new kernel and load it. There is probably some binary signature thing that the boot disc checks.
There's no reason to get all excited. Sony isn't opening up their system. Some people just think that's what's happening.
That's assuming that USB on the PS2/Linux is supported through a standard linux USB interface, and not through a weird Sony proprietary closed-source module that only works with the mouse and keyboard.
Fair use is a right, however, it seems that the "content industry" has the right to make copying as technically difficult as they can (DVD CSS, etc). Not only that, they can bundle copy protection with access protection in order to use the DMCA to squash hardware or software which breaks their access prevention mechanisms (DeCSS, Sony PS2 Modchips, etc).
You're wrong. "Network byte order" is a convention that is equivalent to big endian. TCP/IP organizes things by 8-bit bytes. Programmers put things into "network byte order" because it is a convention.
Suppose you want to send a 32-bit integer, let's use 2864434397 as an example, since its hexadecimal representation is the convenient form 0xAABBCCDD.
Now, suppose this value is stored in memory starting at location 0. On a little endian machine, location 0 would contain the byte 0xDD, 1 would contain 0xCC, 2 would contain 0xBB, and 3 would contain 0xAA. On a big endian machine, those values would be reversed (0xAA would be written first).
This also applies to file data. Suppose you have the following C code:
void write_data(int x[], int count)
{
FILE *f;
f = fopen("data.bin", "w");
fwrite(x, sizeof(int), count, f);
fclose(f);
}
On a big-endian machine, the data file would be written out as big-endian. On a little-endian machine, the data would be written out as little-endian. If you want to read the data file written by a little-endian machine on a big-endian machine, you'll have to swap the individual bytes around.
Anyway, the convention for "network byte order" is to send AA first, followed by BB, CC, and DD, in that order. Some protocols, such as Gnutella, send things in little-endian mode. I can only assume that this is because the original programmers were lazy and were using x86 machines.
Now if someone could just tell me why I bothered to write this long of a reply...

It looks like about 4-5 times the size of the iPod, and I seriously doubt that it's Ogg compatible.
