Do you really think that a single person doing this so they can say "I ripped off Microsoft" is going to have any noticable impact on M$'s income from the Xbox?
And I have an old HP handheld PC running windows ce that hasnt crashed ever. And I've been using it non-stop for almost a year. I say WinCE is the most stable Windoze OS i've seen.
If you want to see IR, point a remote control at a camcorder. It detects it as light and you can actually see the the signal coming from it through your camera's screen like you would if it was a pulsing lightglobe or something.

Has Warner Brothers or any other company released movies on VCD? I haven't seen any. I don't know why they would either. Even VHS is better quality than a VCD.
The again, I'm from Australia so I guess it's possible that they released them in the States and they never filtered through here...
When you redistribute a PHP script, there is no binary form. PHP works by being interpreted command-by-command as it is being run. If a company redistributes a PHP script (the script, not the output), they ARE releasing the source. Under the terms of the GPL, if they modify the script, they do not have to release it.
And for everyone who's saying that the output of the script (ie. the HTML produced) should be made public because the script that produced it is GPL'd, well thats like saying everything i type in vi should be made public, because that's GPL'd.
Sounds just like a recent IT conference I heard about in Sydney (Australia) where Microsoft threatened to pull out of doing some presentation and sponsering the conference because there were some Linux presentations.

windows millenium??? you have got to be joking. i had a beta of that a few months ago. to keep it running for over an hour was a rare event. as for ie, i could never get it running. when you click the ie icon it keeps opening up a rediculous number of explorer windows until the system crashes (surprise...)
i guess that's what you get for running beta software, but based on that i'm never touching windoze ME again (go linux!):)
does this mean cheaper internet access for Australians? about time! access costs up to $40 per month for a reasonable ISP are starting to get annoying.
Will this have any effect on speeds of traffic Aus<->US? or just cost?
Electrons DO NOT travel at the speed of light. However, an elecric current does. All that happens is that the elctrons pass the charge from one to the other. At the speed of light. Therefore, an optical processor wouldn't be faster that a normal one because of extra speed moving the data. (Although it would be pretty cool for other reasons...think no cooling problems)

So how long until we see Gates release a microsoft distribution of linux so they have an excuse to port al their software and crush the open source competition? of course any MS distro would come with all the microsoft standard features, including crashes at least every 24 hours and 65,000 bugs so the producers can keep a job producing MS Linux Service Pack 2:)

In Australia (or WA at least) you put a sign saying "No junk mail" on your letterbox and it's illegal to put any unaddressed mail into it.
And do what with the console?
Do you really think that a single person doing this so they can say "I ripped off Microsoft" is going to have any noticable impact on M$'s income from the Xbox?
i'd suggest taking a closer look at that url before you click it.

Do you want the CPU in your pacemaker overclocked so that it's 40% less reliable?
Not really, but would you really want to overclock the CPU in your pacemaker so it goes twice as fast as it's supposed to?

how would you go about setting that up???????
