    song is very similar to selling/giving a stolen stereo to someone

    No it is not. It is like "Your after a cheap stereo, go see Bob in the Queens Head".

    Don't you think native recognition of this spec would be preferable to including third-party implementations?
    Yes very much so, but browser-native implementations are still implementations. And look at the browser-native implementations, IE - none existent, Moz - early beta.

    wrong with Adobe's viewer?

    Partly what you have just mentioned, its not browser-native.
    If you are an OSS Zelot, then well its not OSS.
    Does not ingrate too well with Moz (for me, it open MSIE with an embeded Adobe SVG frame!)

  5. Re:USB!? What about drivers? For *WHAT* OS? on Nintendo Releasing Wireless Router for Revolution · · Score: 1
    Nope, well yes but no.

    Many USB devices conform to a standard, and the standard driver is included with most OSes.

    I'd *guess* this "router"/bridge would appear to your OS as a network card, and a standard driver exists for USB Network cards.

    If not, my guess would be windows only, or Windows and MacOS only.

    I already have my own router

    According to other posts on /. both the Revlotion and DS will play nice with a standard wireless router.
    I can not conferm, as I don't have a wireless route at home, it does however make buying one more tempting.
    Also if this is true, and the PSP also plays nice with standard routers, could we get some XP gaming going on, as most of my friends are going the PSP route.

    More money for the BBC == better Dr Who == Happy brits (me anyway), as long as it goes not get carried away and starts to target over-seas views.

    Not attempting to defent the RIAA/MPAA, but they have to sell stuff to live, the BBC just taxes the British public, plus it'll most like use the BBC Broadband thingy, which I understand only aviable to tax payers.

    So not really free then.

  18. Re:What happened to basic phones? on First Picture of new Motorola iTunes Phone? · · Score: 1

    Ahh, OK, that explains it. It does seam (to me anyway) very odd that things are that bad state-side, and a quick check on Amazon brings up the Motorola V120C and the Nokia 2285. Both look to be very simple phones, mono screen, no camera, no MMS etc on pre-pay for under $30.

    You can get "complex" phones that are easy to use[1], my J2ME-enabled wiz-bang, yet cheap (£50 PAYG) phone (sans camera, not by choice) (Sendo M570) is very simple to use as just-a-phone. Might I recomend you actually have a play with the phone before you buy it?

    This comes up on every bloody time. Why? So you don't want it, I like my VNC client and pictures of my 'ickle sis.

    Most phone makers to a "basic" phone (i've no idea how you think of Voice dialing as basic? and voice mail is normally done "serverside").

    However as every monthly offer normally throws in a free phone better than the basic models. So just don't use what you don't like on the free phone.
    Or if its a PAYG, go with the ~£25 Nokia 1100.

    Personally, I would not (and have not) ran the script, I'd buy the books, but one at a time (most of the titles would be about £1 at the local bargain book store).
    I was answering what I took as a request/challenge. Alas I don't get to do much sh/sed in my current job, so look out for times I can fiddle with it.

    As to my UID, I think of my UID as high, and as to a UID/sense relationship, /. has declined, I might as well go down with it.
