Yeah, you could say that galleon is slimmed down - to the point of it only being a front end for the mozilla engine. No right click menus, no downloading for the most part... but I guess that will come later as it develops.
I wonder if he's allowed to use a spoon to eat his wheaties. That's technology. And how about riding in cars? Since he can't talk about technology any more, how can he flag a taxi? Hell, he wouldn't even be able to ride a bike! The bottom line is that in this day and age, you can't have nothing to do with technology - it's too important to every day life. Looks like the Justice department has dumped yet another load of BS on poor Kevin.
Well, for one thing, if you want to run Apache on a PDA you've got some serious identity problems, and as for comparing it to WinCE the main thing would probably be that it's running Linux, so there's a lot more software that is compatible with it. You may even be able to write your own software if they would give you a more conclusive spec sheet.
Although the Wiretap archives mirrored a lot of the Project Gutenberg texts, it was not the same thing - Wiretap had much much more information, and on many more topics. As the original post said, they had everything from Bush jokes to bomb making information to e-zines. I remember FTPing to the archive in the early 90s, and later I had to gopher to the site. But now, I don't know.
They don't want Napster running because it's a server? So just turn sharing off or use a Napster clone that doesn't have the server functions built in. And anyway, how are they supposed to know if you're running it anyway? Set it on a different port and don't let a ton of people download from you.
Adobe Premiere 5.1's what I use. It's powerful (well, it's Adobe after all), Avid Cinema (at least in my experience) is a dumbed down version, if you're new to video editing that may be a good choice too.
I've played all of ID's games. I've watched as the monsters in Quake II thrash around on the ground after you've shot their heads off. I've killed the Nazis in Wolfenstein, I've seen the body parts hanging from the walls in Doom, I've fragged all my friends on Quake 3 until my fingers practically bled, but I have never, not once even contemplated briging a gun to school and shooting my schoolmates. At least in my mind there's a difference between the real world and computer games, but I guess in the minds of many of these kids - kids that have grown up with parents who just don't give a damn as to what their child is doing, parents who just don't give a damn as to what they're doing themselves, and what effect it may have on their kids, in the minds of these kids there is no difference between the computer games they play and real life. Instead of making lawsuits against the companies who give the rest of us a little entertainment, a chance to relax, and an outlet for our aggressions, we should take every parent who doesn't play an active, positive, and helpfull role in their child's life, to court.
How are they going to make a movie of Tomb Raider? There's nothing there to make a movie of. Making a movie from a book is bad enough, but making a movie out of a computer game seems like a stretch to me.
A hard drive can't transfer at any where near that speed, so what's the use? Unless you run and store everything in the RAM, but I don't know, is that even possible? Is so much faster than physical storage to be worth it? About the only use I can think of for it is in dumb terminals, and who wants those?! --Baelmix
I dunno, it looks slick and all, but it sure doesn't run very fast on my pIII/500... dragging windows creates some "droppings", etc. And a 16mb download for a complete install isn't what I call radically smaller. Oh well, it's just a beta.

I hope the final english version isn't as poorly translated as the website. And does anyone know how big of a hard drive it has?

What good news! Now, when does the zero-day DivX rip come out? ;)

So in other words, if I change my last name they'll never catch me. Nice.
(I've never used this but it sounds cool). Check out the Genica Portable MP3/Audio CD Player (http://www .compgeeks.com/cgi-bin/details.asp?cat=MultiMedia& sku=205-3333). Plays both audio cds and data cds with mp3s on them, and is slated to come out in may/2000.
But the problem is that only the users are making them.

Gimmie gimmie gimmie when it comes out on DVD!
