I just love how the RIAA is saying you can't do something - based on a law that does not cover that thing.
And then what is really funny - if computers were covered by the AHRA - then RIAA would be enjoined from alleging infringement of the ARHA based on noncomercial use. (see http://www.hrrc.org/ahrasum.html for more details)
Because the cards are all actually the PCMCIA cards - You use an ISA PCMCIA adapter to install them to a desktop machine. (I don't know of anyone making a PCI PCMCIA adapter - if there is one I'd like to know)
WINE may not be exclusively for remote display - but I personally have been using it for such for well over a year (I use Agent for my newsreader - and having it run under WINE off of my linux box means I can run it from anywhere I have access to X Windows)
The company could have been incorporated by an adult and then have the company hire the kid as CTO. Dad dosn't have to fend off lawsuits - the company does. And the kid most certainly can make deals as an agent of the company.
I'm not sure exactly how much of Earthlink Sprint owns - they are listed as a 10% Beneficial Owner which means they own 10% of voting stock in earthlink...
However they also have a fair quantity of "Convertible Preferred Stock" which is non-voting as preferred stock (I don't know what the circumstances for those shares being converted is...)
The only option I see on the books is for Sprint to purchase stock to retain their ownership level (AKA when and if the merger goes through - Sprint can purchase enough shares to keep the same % of ownership that they had before the merger)
All of this is available from Earthlinks public SEC documents

Well, from what I hear the source will be available - so I doubt there will be any back doors (and if there are any - they will likely be caught rather quickly)
I just love it when people do the exact same thing that they accuse someone else of.
The full quote:
Linus: rms asked me if I minded the name before starting to use it, and I said "go ahead". I didn't think it would explode into the large discussion it resulted in, and I also thought that rms would only use it for the specific release of Linux that the FSF was working on rather than "every" Linux system.
I never felt that the naming issue was all that important, but I was obviously wrong judging by how many people felt very strongly about it. So these days I just tell people to call it just plain "Linux" and nothing more.
Read more carefully - it can read CD-R's with encoded mp3s on it - it cannot write CD-Rs.
IOW - it can encode songs off a CD toits build in HD, It can download mp3 files from your computer via parallel port, and it can read mp3 files off of a CD-R. But it cannot output any of the mp3 files except through the speakers.

>So, apparently Mariah Careys rights don't matter?
No, that is the wrong question. The right question is are Mariah Carey's rights more important than yours or mine?

Why ISA?
Because the cards are all actually the PCMCIA cards - You use an ISA PCMCIA adapter to install them to a desktop machine. (I don't know of anyone making a PCI PCMCIA adapter - if there is one I'd like to know)

Yes he can.

If only some company would come out with an mp3 player with a CD Changer interface - so that it coule easily interface with current decks.

Internet friendly...sure - the man who pushed for the clipper chip and wants to keep the restrictions on encryption technology is internet friendly...
