Buy a used xbox from someplace that lets your look at it first.
Who has tried this at a local GameStop or somewhere? Or where else would you recommend that would be available to people in most parts of the United States?
GameStop, EB, anyplace that sells used systems. I should hope they let you look at it, I wouldn't buy second hand goods sight unseen. I suppose a local independent store may be more accommodating than a national chain.
The Version 1.6 Warning page states that Xbox consoles can be updated to 1.6 through the Internet. By "look at it" do you mean "turn it on before paying for it"?
Sorry, I don't really know the details of 1.6. Much of the warning sounds like worries about hardware differences in 1.6, though. Anyhow, my older xbox has never been remotely upgraded, but then again I don't play online; I imagine if you just keep away from Xbox Live you should be fine.
You can still use a hardware mod chip on a 1.6 box.
For many users, it takes less time==money to buy a Popcorn Hour box than to learn to solder.
There are solderless chips (they have spring-loaded contact pins), I have one in my Xbox. Very easy to install.
Boxee is quite nice, but the development is not particularly open. It's controlled and guided by a start-up, the social networking portion is closed source, building from source and alternate binaries are not encouraged, there's no public bug tracker and new feature support for Linux is uneven (although this is largely the fault of proprietary content plugins).
Their stated goal of creating an official Boxee hardware box does give them a strong incentive to keep up the Linux version, though.
The point I'm making here, in an admittedly roundabout way, is that sports actually tend to pull in a decent amount of money, so that the funding usually isn't that major.
The amount of money require to field a top tier competitive team - scholarships, coaching salaries, stadiums and facitilies - can reach into the tens of millions (especially for football). Only a few schools have the draw to recoup enough to make up for it.
I have recently been using yEd for quick visualizations. It's a free (beer) java app, similar to graphviz in concept -- you just provide a logical graph and it figures out how best to display it. What's nice is that it's an interactive program, so it makes it easy to play around with different layout algorithms and tweak the settings until you find one that works for your graph.
It's Java and it launches via webstart, so it's very easy to get running on any system.
An attacker may not be able to rebuild your array, but that doesn't mean he can't pull useful data from a single drive. 1/5 of your master credit card file is still worth grabbing.
I don't actually use git, but I've heard it's actually possible to add historical snapshots to an archive at a later date. So you could switch over with no history and start using it right away, and worry about important your old repository's history later.
moreSome folks have toyed with the idea of constructing a git tree of historical linux releases.
The good news is that git would be a lot more natural to the process of trying to create a history, because you could basically import random trees, and tag them as just independent trees, and then re-create the history after-the-fact by trying to stitch them all together. And if you find a new tree, you'd just re-stitch it - something that was very hard to do with BK (and BK generally wouldn't help you with keeping multiple independent trees around, and wouldn't generally accept the notion of re-doing the histories and keeping various versions of the histories around).
To me, that suggests you can import history at a later date and still integrate it properly in your tree.

Their post said that only the task-specific server for data was hosed. If Journalspace offered paid services, then their billing system should still have all their customer's details.
You can limit google's search results to a particular site by using the "site:domainname.com" search term (example) and then click the "Cached" links of each result to see Google's copy.
There's also a Greasemonkey script for Firefox that can automatically add Google Cache links next to page links, so you can navigate from one cached page to another easier.
ScummVM has moved beyond just LucasArts games and now supports old Sierra games. There's an iPhone port, so you should be golden for some leisure suit action.
Wine uses literally aprts of dozens of open source libraries and projects and lists them all (along with their required license terms) in their docs (in/usr/share/doc/vmware/open_source_licenses.txt.gz on my system). There is no trace of wine in there and I'd be very surprised if they were hiding it.
If you have some evidence backing this up, please share it.
Dune (1) was pretty kick-ass too, and it always gets forgotten in these discussions - it actually introduced most of the concepts credited to Dune II. It just wasn't real-time as I remember. But it had the resource-gathering and the army-building and whatnot. I used to love watching the progress of the battles, with a little arm-wrestling icon representing who was winning:)
Yeah, it's often forgotten, but many of the concepts were in place in the first game, albeit in the second half; the first half was more like an adventure game, strangely enough.
Yep, this is a damn shame. Add this to IA's general flakiness and you will learn to _always_ save a local copy of an IA page if you care about it, it may not be there the next time...

Alright fine, all we did was idle in IRC while we downloaded posts from alt.binaries.pictures.erotica in other terminals for later uudecoding.
Ah, what an excellent game that was...

1) Buy a used xbox from someplace that lets your look at it first. You can determine the version by looking at serial number and manufacture date. Short version: if it was made before 2004, it's pre-1.6
2) You can still use a hardware mod chip on a 1.6 box.
That doesn't work on Linux or FreeBSD. On there, you need to do this:
date +%s
That's if you want to output the epoch, this is to convert the epoch to human-readable time.
The standard unix date command will suffice:
date -d @1234567890
The point I'm making here, in an admittedly roundabout way, is that sports actually tend to pull in a decent amount of money, so that the funding usually isn't that major.
Actually, I've read that this isn't actually the case; that while a small number of schools have very successful (and well known) sports programs that do pull in a profit, the majority of colleges do in fact lose money on their sports programs, at least for Division 1-A schools.
The amount of money require to field a top tier competitive team - scholarships, coaching salaries, stadiums and facitilies - can reach into the tens of millions (especially for football). Only a few schools have the draw to recoup enough to make up for it.
Telephone numbers are only 10 digits long in US and Canada. There's no reason they couldn't come up with a perfect hash function that guarantees no collisions.

I'm on 8.04 and I don't think it ever put a trash icon on my desktop. But you should be able to do "Move to Trash" on the context menu.
If you truly had to go to the terminal, then you should report it as a bug.

On the Roku device, you have to rebuffer even to jump back a few seconds.

Looks like at least some content is still in Google's cache, those looking to salvage their journals should act quickly.

The difference is VMWare emulates DirectX, using Wine.
What are you talking about? VMWare does no such thing, there is no connection between vmware and wine whatsoever.
