If Real didn't make their player so goddamn intrusive when it comes to computer use, I'd be happy to support them on this. I cannot stand the fact that whenever I launch the RealOne player, it puts its advertisement programme into the background, and I have to kill it and remove it out of the registry to from stop it from starting up whenever I login.
Microsoft is in the wrong in this situation, but Real is worse by selling personal information, having a player that eats more than its fair share of needed memory, and including what may be spyware with its software. If this were Apple and Quicktime, I'd be more willing to go and support them on this.
Uh. FAT32 has a limit much higher than 32 GB. It is more along the lines of being limited to 2 TB. The problem is that an older FAT32 formatting utility programme released by Microsoft has a problem recognising drives larger than 32 GB.
If it were to run on Mac OS X, I'd be so happy. Is there an alternative to the programme that could allow me to share my Windows XP and Mac OS X machine this way? Otherwise, I'll either have to wait for someone to port this over to Mac OS X or port it myself, which is something I am not keen on doing.;)
All I need to do is invent a device that can achieve the speed of light. Place the mouse inside the device for as long as the other mice are still alive, and let it run for a year longer. After that, the mouse will have aged less than every other mouse -- including the owner of the device -- and the owner will win a prize!
The irony about the US and the UK using imperial is the fact that the US did everything it could to seperate itself from Great Britain, and that at the same time, they use imperial, which is the UK system derived from measurements set by the Royal Family.
Hell, the measurement for a 'foot' was basically set by the length of the foot of the king at the time.
It would be funny if the rest of world used Linux while the United States uses Windows. It would be just like the current state of measurement in this world, where the United States uses imperial and the rest of the world uses metric.
The ticket machines for Skytrain and Seabus here in Greater Vancouver have been replaced with a Windows 2000-based system. They replaced the nearly twenty-year old ticket machines we had currently in place, as they were incapable of taking in newer coins and bills that the Canadian Mint was giving out.
So far, I haven't seen them blue-screen or do anything beyond having simple mechanical problems, but I have seen technicians come in and administer the machines -- there are about 270 of these machines lying around the area.
Beyond having the ability too soon accept Interac, credit cards, and in the future, smart cards, they have behaved pretty well so far. I rarely interact with them, due to the fact that I pay for my transit on a monthly-basis, but everytime I have walked by them, the screen has looked perfectly normal, and hasn't shown its Windows traits beyond the administrator panel when someone is around to administer them.
Right now, I have the first-generation Starchoice dish -- the circular one -- and for the past few months I have been looking into making it a WLAN antennae myself.
Effectively, from the looks of it, it doesn't matter what the dish's shape it is, as long as the left-to-right width doesn't exceed fifty or sixty centimetres. As long as it meets that width, it doesn't matter if it is a circular or elliptic shape, it really doesn't matter.
Beyond that, I am not too familiar with satellite technologies beyond knowing the encryption on my receivers are hard to crack -- some funky Motorola algorythm that I am not familiar with. Most of these dishes can only receive, but what exactly stops them from sending? Is it a dish limitation, or is it simply the receiver only is programmed to receive and nothing more?

You obviously have never been to Vancouver. It gets bitter cold for two days, and if any snow lands, it melts away in two hours. It is just a Canadian version of Seattle, only the traffic doesn't suck as badly, and that 50% of the population is Asian.
Would you get a "fail" if you used this feature during your driving examination? I managed to pass it, but for those who cannot seem to master parallel parking, this must be a boon.

I think the tectonic plates would have something against that -- the ring of fire comes to mind.
Funny.

Your currency isn't so special.

Unlike Windows Media Player, you can remove the programme from your system. Regardless, it is less intrusive than WMP anyway.
If someone steals your cell phone, and uses it to conduct some sort of illegal activity -- say sell drugs -- is it your fault? No.
Why the hell should it be the end users' fault for hackers' mischief activities?

That's much more fun.
In other news, President Bush declares Hurricane Isabel a terrorist attack, and delcares war on all of eastern Africa.
Shouldn't that be "Western Africa?" Jeez, now Bush is attacking the wrong targets.
On a typical broadband line -- 1640 kbps -- it would take 30 weeks.
10.2.8 really, really just made my Beige G3 extremely unstable. I woke up this morning to find it locked up for the upteenth time.
SCO owns you fuckers. Hahaha.

What is the proper name for "imperial" anyway?

Effectively, they look like this (see above response):

It would be nice to see some of MPlayer's source code merged with another project, Media Player Classic.
Would a signature created with a mouse be legally-binding?

So a home computer can kill someone?
