So conceivably an open source Kermit-95 with just the SSH ripped out (if really necessary) could be made avaiable, if that would be all...
Alternativelly a legitimate message could be: C-Kermit is better and allready BSD so it's better in the long run even if Kermit-95 has some adventage in dying old machines... so we do not bother..
On or before June 30th, Kermit 95 source code will be released with the Open Source Simplified BSD License, except for a few modules containing code that is proprietary to other companies.
Just for clarity, I don't want to use a VOIP solution; I need to use my plain old landline. My reason is this: if I'm watching a movie or listening to an MP3 while I'm waiting for a call, I don't want it to ever be apparent to the person who is on the phone with me, and I want to route all the audio I use through a single headset.
I use an LX-3000 headset I won with points from Live Search Club. There is no "Stereo Mix" option so WAV audio is totally separate from microphone input. Your callers will never hear your media.
The process is totally transparent to incoming callers. Only one USB headset required.
Neuter GWA in FireFox and IE and make it optional

To neuter GWA:
Internet Explorer 6: Tools -> Manage Add-ons Disable:
Google Web Accelerator - Toolbar Google Web Accelerator Helper - BHO
Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections Remove the proxy entry, or use your own, like The Proxomitron or Proximodo.
FireFox 1.0.3: Mozilla Firefox\chrome\chrome.rdf Mozilla Firefox\chrome\overlayinfo\browser\content\overlay s.rdf Mozilla Firefox\chrome\overlayinfo\global\skinstylesheets. rdf
Search for "googlewebacc" and remove any <RDF:*></RDF> sections that contain it.
Tools -> Options -> General -> Connection Settings... Remove the proxy, or use your own such as the two linked above.
No more toolbars!
Now, if you want to use GWA selectively, you can use the aforementioned Proxomitron or Proximodo and configure them to use an external proxy, with the 127.0.0.1:9001 address as you would for other browsers. Then setup FireFox, IE, or whatever to use 127.0.0.1:8080 as the proxy address.
If it was mandated by the government then all new, legal ammo sold would have an RFID tag just as every new car comes with seatbelts and airbags.
Dealers that sell ammo should be held to the same scrutiny and level of responsiblity as pharmacists. The products they dispense are more likely to kill innocent people. You don't walk into CVS and pick up an allergy prescription without appearing on several cameras and providing AT LEAST a signature, why can anyone buy ammo without ID?
Walmart isn't held responsible when someone uses one of their rifles to pick off commuters during morning rush hour. A stolen rifle is reported along with the serial number, which can be filed off. It wouldn't be so easy to disable the RFID without great effort and possible destruction of the bullet. They may not have the thief and can't tie the rifle to the crime or point of purchase without possession for ballistic testing (or other evidence),
Regardless of how a criminal obtained bullets embedded with passive RFID tags, a digital trail would exist and provide more clues to the identify of a killer than an inert piece of metal. The RFID could be like a computer's MAC address and indicate manufacturer and caliber in addition to a GUID for each box sold.
With federal mandate "untagged" ammo would be illegal to possess and harder for the average criminal to obtain. Stolen legal firearms would have tagged ammo.
If you really wanted to shoot someone you could load your own bullets, switch to black powder or bow and arrow. Illegal drugs are a prime example of the fact you can't stop the black market. If the goverment put half as much effort into blocking the import of untagged ammo as they do into blocking prescription drugs from Canada for seniors the country would be a safer place.
If an RFID tag was developed that could be embedded in a bullet and withstand the force of impact it could make solving some crimes involving handguns easier. Have every bullet in a box of ammo tied to the UPC and require identification for purchase. Then when John Doe is found dead with one of your bullets in his head the cops know who to look for.

Kazaa version 2.0 does NOT need Cydoor to run. I use Kerio Personal Firewall 3.0, and when I installed KMD 2.0, it prompted me and asked if I wanted to allow the installation program to run C:\windows\temp\adware\cd_install_291.exe, which I denied. Cydoor was NOT installed on my system, and KMD 2.0 installed and uninstalled without any problems.
I liked the idea behine Europa when I saw it. Simple 3d shell for Windoze that treated windows like pages, that could be zoomed in an out of a 3d desktop. It's the closest I've seen to a "Johnny Mnemonic" interface.
It uses the scroll wheel to adjust window depth, giving the ability to really put a window in the background.
Last time I checked it out it had some limitations, like not updating windows in the background (static "snapshots" only), OpenGL dependant, only Windoze, etc..

As someone who bought the Motorola i1 with Android 1.5 on the promise of updates it never received, I'd have to disagree.
Jelly Belly has announced they're working on a new flavor.
F.B. Purity is available as an addon or GreaseMonkey script and already has the option to disable autoplay, among other things.
