That way, when the early adopters are through spending their hard-earned cash on stillborn formats and their latest-and-greatest readers, and a format emerges as the winner, and a couple of clever hackers devise a way to get around the media companies' "niceties" (zoning anybody), then you'll enjoy dirt-cheap players and a great variety of content.
Of course, the next SuperDuperThingamabobEverybodyNeeds[TM] will already be there, but don't think for one second you need to stress over getting current, that's an artificial feeling created by PR hype from the format pushers. You'll get the shit a lot cheaper than your neighbour in a few years, no worries...

Hey you know what? when I read The guy who started it, Petar Maymounkow, is of Kademlia fame, my eyes told my brain Drop your panties Sir Arthur, I cannot wait till lunchtime.
Now that I've use some random phrase in the blurb as an excuse to coin my joke, can I get my mod point please?
YAWN Protocol --> Yet Another Wonderful New Protocol
ASCII is still around, despite its numerous shortcomings. There's this small thing called "backward compatibility" that people/consumers seem to love, for some reason. Well, same thing for TCP/IP. Even IPv6 has trouble taking off in the general public, despite being essentially just a small change in the format, so never mind the YAWN Protocol this article is about...

Well, it sure was a lot cheaper to design and build the whole Hip-E than to just buy the kid an iMac!!
Plus, don't forget the poor kid who had to wait forever while daddy patiently built his homemade iMac-lookalike, after work, in his workshop, with recycled bits of wood and screws ("found on the trash heap. Still perfectly good, you wouldn't believe the nice things people throw away" daddy said). Now is that cruel to the kid or what...
he attacked political shows and begged them: 'Stop, stop, stop, stop hurting America.' Is it time to really stop all the political games that both sides play?
Hmm yes, he's right: why don't we all shake hands? why don't we all love each other and make peace? why doesn't everybody make an effort to reach our and help his neighbour, the poor persons down the street? Why can't we all be nice to one another?
Jesus, I don't know who this guy his, but I reckon the only vote he'd ever win is chief boy scout or something. Look around you buddy, and you'll notice it's a doggy dog world out there, and dems as well as reps will stoop as low as necessary to win whatever they have their eyes set upon. Welcome to the real world...

Come on, MontaVista, don't try to cock things up for the rest of Linux just because you're too lazy to patch the kernel yourself.
There are many good reasons for contributors to merge their patches into the kernel. For one thing, it means you don't have to play catch-up with the kernel releases and manage the patch on top of it, and also you get to offer your code for free review and testing.
As for why Linus is always reluctant to accept new code in the kernel? simple: Firstly, if he accepted all (good or less good) ideas into the kernel, the damn thing would make coffee already, and I don't blame him to want to narrow the kernel's focus. But most importantly, just look at the size of the flippin' tarball already and you'll see why he doesn't want to include forever code that'll serve less than 0.5% of all Linux users.

Advice for savvy high-tech consumers:
STAY 5 TO 10 YEARS BEHIND TECHNOLOGICALLY

Oh by the by, I hope he eat Brodderick as well for the crime of being in that movie.
You have to realize it's no coincidence: Gozilla was the engineer who programmed the WOPR, and boy! is he pissed...
Is mozilla the illigitimate child of godzilla and opera?!???!!!???
No, you're thinking of Godzera. Mozilla is the illegitimate child of Godzilla and Moby Dick (hence the size of the bastard. Genes, you know...)
At lease he didn't go with a crash joke.
Look like someone is having bad psychological problems with late payments on his car loan...
Okay, I'll admit, you're right. Let's refresh the "Windows-runs-on-xyz" joke pool:
* Will the Home edition be installed on Pintos?
* My car only goes 50mph after downloading SP2 at the pump
* There's a purple gorilla in the back seat reporting my every moves to bonzibuddy.com
* Do I call Redmond to get an activation code when I add a set of fog lights to my car?
* Steve Ballmer says piracy happens because cars are too expensive
and of course
* Does it run on unleaded Linux?

I suppose we should be happy that they're actually going to prepare for the next war.
"prepare"? They're not preparing for anything, they're warmonging. That's a case of war creation more than anything else...

The iMac is a niche platform (2%?) that doesn't do anything a PC can (typically) do for a lot less
not to mention, a PC doubles as a pretty efficient space heater.

The question is: does this Shinux-booting MP3 player comes with xmms installed, so I can play MP3s?
The real question is whether we'll have a big black wall full of dead fileswapper's names in Washington a few years from now...
Fear not, you still can find your favorite actor here.
Easy: send them the boys to hunt for weapons of mass filesharing and arrest Kim Jung Il and his government for threatening big record corporations.
How do I know Kim Jung Il and his cronies are the ones doing the file sharing? well, ask yourself: who else has internet access in NK?

I guess Linus does not realize the full potential of what real time functionality can do to Linux.
Yes, I'm sure he has no idea...
