A processor could be used to control some of the weapons on the bot so the operator can worry about driving.
Exactly. Just that a single processor isn't exactly an ideal solution - better delegate tasks to multiple (simpler) microcontrollers distributed throughout the body, with maybe one or two supervising the others.
Get installwatch from freshmeat. With it, you can get a tarball, compile, then let installwatch supervise the make install and write a log file - then a helper app (inst2rpm for rpm-based distros, inst2slack for Slackware) parses the log file and updates your package database accordingly. Works really fine.
...except if you use installwatch (search for it on freshmeat). I've been doing all my installs on Slackware from source via installwatch for about a year now, and I love it. Uninstalling is a breeze! No more old versions around, etc. The Slackware-specific version is at Linuxmafia.
By this good and morally justified logic of yours, Ford and Firestone were perfectly entitled to use crap tires on SUVs - hey, they're not responsible if you got hurt by using the car in a vay that made the tires blow (i.e. driving it).
Internet appliances? Who the hell needs DVD playback on those? Aren't IA generally stripped-down computers, with a CPU barely powerful enough to be useful for web surfing, email and not much else? Who's going to put a raw-power-eating piece of software such as a DVD player on those? Unless of course it's merely a front-end for some hardware decoder...
It's not encryption, it's a new filesystem type. The CPU in the box (PowerPC 403), running at 50MHz, is way underpowered for encryption. Think of a 486SX.
...I find it does a pretty good job of picking shows to record that I might like.. and if I don't I just give it's selection a thumbs down on the remote, and it will gradually get better.
Funny, I don't think it does such a good job at selecting preferences. I like the Simpsons, it's the only show to which I gave 3 thumbs-up, however, it's currenlty at #24 in the tivo's suggestions list, and it's as high as it ever went in the 2 months since I own it. #1 on the list is, right now, News Radio, to which I gave no thumbs up. Go figure.
If I were to chose between targeted advertising and no advertising at all, which one do you think I'd chose? My time is too precious to be spent on *any* advertising. Right now, skipping through all the commercials is a no-brainer, but I'd certainly hate to see ads that may catch my eye and make me waste time. That's why targeted advertising is evil.
It does work on Slack (just create the whole/etc/rc.d/rc0.d...rc6.d folder hierarchy, then install) - but I'm very pissed off by their explanation: "it's not a supported distribution because of its unusual directory layout". Huh? I say all of the other distros have a weird layout...
Mind you, that's a _big_ if there. Their scsi support range is a joke right now, as is the NIC support. This pretty much rules out my running it on any of my machines, all of them with standard hardware which Linux uses perfectly well.
ATX moved the standard peripheral connectors from plugin cards onto the motherboard
Not true; I've got here a whole bunch of 486 motherboards (yes, 486, not even Pentium) with integrated IDE/floppy/serial/parallel/mouse. So it's not ATX where you've first seen this. I've also yet to see a Socket 5 mobo (remember that far in the past? Socket 5?) without these standard peripheral connectors on it.
Is the file manager (aka "windows explorer") part of NT? At work I use both NT and Linux (Slackware); windows explorer crashes at least twice a day, usually takes a few more applications with it, and often forces a reboot. KFM crashes about once every 2 weeks, and never needed a reboot so far.
Come on, I'm Romanian, there's no such thing as Sout Ural in Romania. The Ural mountains are in Russia, they actually represent the formal border between Europe and Asia. And the name mentioned on MSN, Birykov, is russian as well. Another journalist who doesn't check the facts.

Did I ever mention I agree with Napster? Search my previous posts.

Now excuse me, I have to go throw up.
Don't waste your time. Instead, take advantage of the situation, go file a patent application.
Yeah, right, yankee boy. Something like your own 0.5-click-shopping, no?

Does a unique sequence of DNA emit a unique wavelength of light that can be detected?
No.

Now If I could only emulate macs...
You can, to a certain extent (68k machines only, and only up to OS 8.1): check Basilisk II. Should do the trick for 3rd and 4th generation browsers.
Does Atheos boot in VMWare now? The last time I checked, it wouldn't - it became stuck at the yellow startup screen.
Currently, vmware actively checks at startup for OS/2 and refuses to run it if found as guest.
Not to mention the whole OS/2 mess - the current status being that vmware actively checks for OS/2 and refuses to run it.

If it works with your hardware

NT itself is stable
Is the file manager (aka "windows explorer") part of NT? At work I use both NT and Linux (Slackware); windows explorer crashes at least twice a day, usually takes a few more applications with it, and often forces a reboot. KFM crashes about once every 2 weeks, and never needed a reboot so far.
It's already ported :) have you checked the xscreensaver collection?
I don't know if you're joking or not, but I have actually emailed the guy.

You could try VMware with it :) But again, it's not free. I'm not sure about CP/M, who owns it?
