Are there any other popular gadgets (besides blackberry) caught up in stuff like this?
Satellite radio.
Of course, they'll pry my Sirius tuner from my cold dead hands. Of course, if they're prying the tuner from my cold dead hands, then I'll have died in my car, and I don't want to think about why that would happen...
Gain a driver's license in one state and you're legal to drive in all 50 states, even though the motor vehicle laws differ in the details across the different states.
For fun, try transferring a title to a car across state lines. Espeially when the title comes from another state and says Title to "Person X OR Person Y"
The clerk at the DMV had to pull out a legal handbook to see what that states' definition of "OR" was and how it related to a title that was signed by only one of the people on the title.
In the US, Except for the major Network stations, channels don't always get a lot of national ad coverage. The cable company is the one that sells a lot of the ad space.
How about a Shuttle SD11G5. It has an external power brick, heat sink on the CPU and a single fan.
It uses the Pentium M chipset, so it doesn't draw a lot of power. Built-in Creative 7.1 sound, SPDIF in, SPDIF out, 1 PCI Express and 1 pci slot, and VGA/DVI onboard output. SFFTech Review. Shuttle's tests say that it's noise level is 24 dB.
That's their product. Farmers don't need to buy it.
That's right. They don't need to buy it. You only need to look at the case of Percy Schmeiser to see that a farmer can lose everything by having a few GM seeds blow onto his property. For a farmer that saves a portion of his seeds every year (and had been doing it for many years before the introduction of GM crops), Monsanto has been a death sentence.
Slashdot Mirror
There is at least one.
Imagine if it were a day on fark.com, (and that day was April 1)
It could have been carried there by a pangaean swallow...
Won't someone think of the billionaires?
There are.
I hear the ping times are horrendous though
Is it a planet or a pla-not?
What goes on in Vegas stays in Vegas. What happens in Atlantic City never happened...

So the designers just got really bored?
Will it go faster if I put an "AMD" or a "Honda Type-R" sticker on it? We'll have to start a site called "ChipCops" to go along with RiceCops.com

It isn't tiny, but the Shuttle XPC M 1000 looks a lot like a home theatre stack component. It's not slim though.
For something more cubish, Shuttle has the SB36G5M running Intel's "Viiv" media platform
Yup. because they're living in the "long tail" end of the market
I have a friend who made his own for about $0.90 a disc plus his own time. Heck, if you're feeling saucy, he'll sell you one for $5.

I, for one, welcome our new brain spooning overlords...
I can't imagine why Linux zealots have a hard time communicating with the masses.
Yeah, but they've got a server setup.
I sense a new Slashdot meme coming on... next thing you know, we'll have t-shirts that say "Cheney shot first!"
And the Red Crystal
When I was a kid, "Westinghouse" was the name on an eyesore of a building near the Buffalo airport.
He'll be thrown out onto the Capitol Steps
but then again you insensitive clods never get out from behind your computers and socialize!...
But I have a webserver running!

If you'd RTFA, you'd see that this was an out of court settlement. The guy didn't win in court, he settled.
