So at this point, considering the differing stories I've heard the past week, this would make the hacker a 15-23 year-old, teenager computer science major who is both male and female?:)
Quick downloads, arcade-perfect realism, extensive options to modify controls and screen positioning: I'd rather play this on shockwave.com then in MAME. Also, the biggest factor: I can play it wherever I want, as long as I have an internet connection. No need to download some emulator (which often crashes), and with Shockwave on Linux, there is loads of great content on the web I can peruse. I'm off to shockwave.com.
Situation: I own every CD you have produced. I have made MP3 copies, because I don't like changing CDs, and I believe I have the right to do so (backup copies for personal use, in case the CDs gets scratched).
I use Napster for downloading songs from new bands, and it automatically opens all of my MP3's to download. Should I now forgo using Napster? I own your CDs!
In addiition, what if I find myself on "the list"? Even though I am a loyal Metallica fan, and paid for all your albums? Should I be prosecuted? What should I do?
Can anyone point me to a few sites that demonstrate easy kernel upgrading? I'm relatively nacient to the Linux world (10 months), and while I have learned a surprisingly large amount of information rather quickly, recompiling something as basic as a kernel gives me the willies.
(By the way, what does it take to get Slashdot to notice a story you submit? I submitted close to 9 stories as an "Anonymous Coward", 3 as Fervent (I was the first to make mention of the Limp Biskit-Napster support thing) but no mention of my name on the front page. Is Commander Taco some kind of malevolent dictator?):P
Napster lists all users who currently have Metallica songs in their shared directory. A simple search would show that.
But nowhere in Napster does it show if a user actually owns the CD. What if I rip copies of tracks for my own backup and store it on my hard drive? That's perfectly legal (they're backups).
Is Metallica saying they have a right to sue people who have already bought their CDs?
A gutted Mac with an older G3 chip. My current Athlon with 256 megs of RAM. Let me think about that one for a minute...
Food for thought: The original TI/99-4A could be expanded to 256K of RAM with a box the size of a small bookcase. Today's inch-high laptops can store 256 megs of RAM. That's an increase of 1000-fold. Pretty amazing stuff.

RedHat is my favorite distribution. Fast, works well, is well-supported and has a lot of options for configuration.
How could you not like HP?

When you can get a decent framerate at Unreal Tournament on a Mac, even the highest end one, give me a ring.

Amen. If I had to see one more petstore online I'd cringe.
