Wasn't their ads a couple of years ago all about how you could "download and burn your own cd's"? They did it with a bunch of washed up music artist.
Apple has to wait at least 7 years for everyone to forget those ads, and hope some of those singers shuffle off their mortal coils, before they can support DRM's.

Inner Monologue I wonder if Ero is a guy or a chick? And if it's chick is she like looking, ya know what I mean?
You mean I don't have to worry about how much memory I have or if I have the right video drivers on consoles? I get better controllers? I only have to connect 2 or 3 connections and I'm set to go? Bigger screen on then my PC?
LINUX IS THE only serious threat to Microsoft's increasing dominance of the market for server operating systems, according to new research from IDC.
Microsoft's share of new server operating environment license shipments grew from just under 42 percent in 2000 to nearly 49 percent in 2001, IDC of Framingham, Mass., said in a summary of its recently released "Worldwide Client and Server Operating Environment Market Forecast and Analysis: 2002-2006."
On the client side, Microsoft's already overwhelming 92 percent share crept up to 93 percent in 2001. IDC analyst Al Gillen attributes the company's continued growth to its licensing programs and to customer transitions from older Microsoft products to its current software.
It is VERY different from any Windows. Lindows is a perty simple Linux distrobution but there are a TON of differences.
Examples:
By default it does not use FAT16/32. That means that normal partioning(FDISK) will not work if you decide to remove.
Most of you new Linux toys will need to be compiled. How well do you know C++?
Got Quicktime?
Everything is either compiled or mounted.
Linux is a great server product. Lindows is great stride for the desktop market. Download the ISO, when the server opens up, and give it a try on an old machine.
Just remember its not the wnd all and be all of Linux or Windows API.
Wouldn't the Harddrive addon be needed for this? i think it would possibly tip over the price of a Tivo on its own, so im thinking whats the point of reinventing the wheel with something that costs more?
The title is a bit misleading. All this software does is that it allows you to stream video(with add-on network adaptor) from a PC and show it on your TV. There is no actual information stored on the system. The PC is the one that does the recording.
The system is more or less a video dumb terminal for your PC.
From the article: Signals also get weaker and more distorted the faster they go, so in theory no useful information can get transmitted at faster-than-light speeds, though Robertson hopes his students and others can now rigorously and cheaply test those ideas.
Obviously FM transmission would not be useful by this method. After the speed of light you would loose frequency integrity. But it maybe useful as an Amplitude Modulation(AM) medium where the frequency only has to be approximated.
We can do most, if not all, the analog and digital functions with pre-existing technology. Heck, I prefer seperate modules so that if one part goes, the other can take over, or work indepedant from each other.
This just sounds like the ussual press release BS that doesn't matter to anyone.

Umm, no. NT is DOS based with a GUI on top. Most services still load in DOS. The only thing about NT is that command interpter forces the GUI to autmagically load.
I love tweaking MS because we all know every product is still just a DOS shell, even NT. If you don't believe me, click Start then Run. Then type the word 'command' in the Open box and see what comes up. >C:\WINDOWS\
In other words your group uses e-mail programs that support the same crypto method(GPG, PGP, BlowFish, ect.).
Anything not crypted, or crypted with a key that is not in your chain goes into a junk basket. The junk basket could then have some rules. That would allow your mum or certain clients, who are still trying figure out how e-mail works, to be fowarded to your In bin.

How many people Minix as compared to to people who use Novell?
I would image it would be about a 1:1 ratio.
Heres the old Linux Devices story from last spring. I knew I saw this before.
I can't find the story on SlashDot but the same company was suppose to bring on this PDA for Christmas. They has created thier own XML language.
It looked favorable then, but they still only had about as much info on the old site as they do the new site.

It will happen soon enough, unfortuanately.
Wait, wasn't that the HOT Rod and Hot Wheels PC offered with the Barbie PC?
Linux guys are creaming their shorts, MS guys are crappin' in their.
'had to be said.
I had this by a good 2 hours.

Isn't MicroSoft developing it's flavor of 802.11 called 802.11x
It was suppose to ship with XP but they had other things to work on in XP.

Check out ReactOS if you don't believe me.
Don't like it, don't use it.
Only one distro is reducing the # of choices, not the whole community. Beside DOS still has a ton of desktop's in production.
Head over to FreeDOS.org and see for yourself.
I love tweaking MS because we all know every product is still just a DOS shell, even NT. If you don't believe me, click Start then Run. Then type the word 'command' in the Open box and see what comes up.

You would think that the internet was service the entire world is paying for like... Oh my God, he's right.
NONONONONONONONONONONONONONO!!!!!!
Well, follow my logic here. We already knew that the ban was lifted BECAUSE they were allowing it through that wonderful firewall.
We already knew that China's access to Google was restored by this article from yesterday.
So really today's story is the same story, just a very slightly different angle.
Isn't this a repeat of this story?

Instead of file sharing, why not voice sharing?
That would be one way to get around having some many cell towers. Share your excess bandwidth with others.
Kinda reminds me of... these Mac Hall strips:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
