This is a good thing, right? I mean, if someone's using a computer in the front seat, chances are the driver's more likely to be distracted by it than if no one were using such a device. In addition, the banning of cell phones by the driver is probably a good thing. Yes, even those ones installed in cars. Haven't you noticed that you're less focused on a hands-free cell phone compared to when your not using one?
While the law is a little broad (no cell phones by the passenger seat occupant), given the hair-splitting going on in courts, it's probably better for the law to be a little broad.
First time I read the headline, I thought it was implying that there are secret messages in the icons/images that are part of the freeBSD installation. Which brings me to wonder: what prevents people from putting messages hidden in the KDE or Gnome icons and such?
(Maybe a "If you can read this, you're too paranoid" sort of message in the Redhat splash picture?)
I tried OO.o for a while. I was quite surprised to not find newsgroups particularly for OO.o. Would it be difficult to have these newsgroups created and propogated to the various servers? That way users can help each other in an easily reachable manner.
As a doctor, I can say that the evidence for this is weak, at best.
People with permanent pacemakers use cell phones without problems. The signal dissipates by the inverse cube of the distance from the device. If they can't use the most minimal of shielding of equipment, cell phones are the least of their problems. (MRI and CAT scan machines, portable X-Ray machines, and wireless computers come to mind)
Sure, cell phones can spread disease. But so can any other dry surface. Like skin, clothing, stethoscopes, etc.
The nasal passages of more than half the health care workers that work in a hospital for more than a year are colonized with MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus).
Banning cell phones is not the answer. Universal precautions is. Universal precautions includes cleaning your hands and instruments after every single patient contact. How many health care workers do that, do you suppose?
I buy DVDs instead of going to the theater. Why? Because it's cheaper to buy it than take someone with me to the theater. Also, I like lending a "find" to a friend and borrowing something from someone else. Do I watch them over again. Yes, but maybe one old movie a month.
I buy a DVD about once a month, and like building up my collection. Not too much overlap with my VHS collection, because a lot of my DVDs are of movies that have come out in the last 10 years. I like the extras, especially when the extra scenes are inserted into the movie, like in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
On the other hand, I rarely listen to the Top40 music stuff in the last couple years. My station is almost stuck on the classic rock and light rock stations.
I completed my classic rock CD collection about 3-4 years ago, and haven't bought a music CD in the last 2 years -- more out of disgust against the RIAA. Haven't borrowed a CD from anyone in a couple years. And now that I ripped all my CDs to my PC, I prefer listening to my own mixes of favorites rather than a store-bought.
Not sure if the RIAA wan't my business anymore. Not sure if I care.
The laws are probably similar to the US: You can't immigrate to work unless you can prove that you can do a job that no one else in the country can do. If it wasn't for this law, the US would be flooded (more so than now) with techs and doctors from all over asia.
Actually, caffiene is one of the treatments for headaches. Look at the ingrediants for Excedrin (a medicine for migraine headaches), and it contains caffiene.
Caffiene withdrawals, on the other hand, can cause headaches...

Attractive to who?
I've had this idea mulling in my head for a few months:
1. Take the soundtrack for an old sci-fi movie. Recreate the movie only on computer, with modern computer effects.
Either:
2. Release the video of the movie, with instructions that it should be played with the sound from the original film
or
2. Include with the video an application that will rip the sound from the original DVD, to create a new DVD.
Since you are technically not infringing on the copyright of the movie, you should get some interesting results.
Extra points if you:
1. Manage to make the video change the theme of the movie without changing the soundtrack.
2. Create an application to rip and resequence the audio track from one or more movies to create a new audio track.
Should I patent this? Probably.

[ObRant]Sheesh! If you're not going to pay attention to the facts, then why bother posting???[/ObRant]
(Not that anyone here's sensible...)
1. Wait three to six months.
2. Then buy a near-high-end computer.
3. Marvel as you get 30 fps.
Nevermind.
/. have a delete-this-message button somewhere?
That should teach me to not click on all the links.
Does

I'm surprised no one has thought of this before. We should support those that support open software.
A retailer brands a product with Mozilla (or Linux, etc.), gives a large portion of the profit to the community, and advertises that they do it.
The problem with previous implementations is that people don't buy too many T-shirts or mugs or things.
Those that buy coffee buy lots of it. How about a bottled water for OpenOffice.org, or a line of soda for AbiWord?
I take that back. Stupid Thunderbird's not searching for text by default anymore. :-(
An entire article about MSFT's failures, and no word about Microsoft Bob?
