Return it to the place where she got it, and exchange it for a model that has the functions you want. I can't believe an issue like this made it to "Ask Slashdot" for a solution. She really should have checked the specifications of the DVD player before getting it if she's a CD-R user.
Isn't SOSUS nearly derelict, since its reason for being has long since disappeared? The navy may extend this power capability to their sonar bouys, but I can't imaging SOSUS being upgraded.
Hear, hear...the previous manager around here was a dolt and as such we have cabinets full of E250s and E450s, when 220R and 420R's would have made much better use of the space. Not to mention the greater weight, harder to open boxes...they were even ordered with frame buffers on board (video cards to you PC folk) when they don't even have monitors attached! They spend their entire lives with a single network cable as their only way of interacting with the outside world.
I don't think anyone is going to rush out and buy an Enterprise 10000 just because one of their competitors has one, or they heard ebay has one. Any shop that is going to deploy an E10000 is going to have several senior Solaris sysadmins on hand. I don't think anyone goes from a few linux PC's to high-end Sun systems. If you have no experience with Sun/sparc systems, an E250 (or better yet, the E220R) should keep you busy for a good while, for under $10,000.
The difference between the recording industry and Microsoft is that when Big Brother Government comes to the record companies with 'antitrust concerns', the record companies listen and take them seriously...unlike Microsoft, who lied to and ignored the government investigators at every turn.
AboveNet may refuse to exchange traffic with anyone they choose, just like their customers may host their sites with any ISP they choose. If you read the post all the way through, AboveNet did not do the blacklisting. MAPS is boycotting the ISP that Peacefire's servers are hosted on, due to said ISP's spam-friendly attitude.
What's the peacefire guy's problem? He can't sign up for a free email account at one of the hundreds of providers? It kind of sucks they got blacklisted, but that's the price we all pay for spam sympathizers.
Pitfall didn't end, the guy just got the highest possible score from getting all the treasures. I assume he just had to turn the game off after he was done. Pitfall is sure big enough, though. Reminds me of the Underworld in Ultima V...it was H--U--G--E. I'm talking about a non-repeating continent that went on, literally, for days in each direction.
Hm, you said it yourself, really...you seem to like light, entertaining reading that doesn't require a lot of effort. To someone raised on fantasy written in the 90's, Lord of the Rings must seem awfully dull. Why, there are three whole books and you can count the number of spells cast on one hand.
The thing to remember when trying to read the greatest fantasy epic ever is that it wasn't even written by a fantasy author! That's right, the man who wrote Lord of the Rings didn't depend on appealing to a certain demographic in order to sell novels. The author was a professor of literature, and liked to invent phony languages. In order for a phony language to make sense, it has to have a phony cultural backdrop, and Tolkien had always been partial to the legends of elves and dwarves and hill people. Hence, he invented half a dozen races, each with their own language, and an entire history for an entire world. Since he was a linguist, not a profit-driven author, he took his time fashioning the world (decades), and it was something he enjoyed doing, not a chore to be completed. The result, a slim three volumes plus a few supplements, must seem unconvincing at best to a person accustomed to a single trilogy being the smallest unit of paperback novel creation.
Try reading "the Hobbit". It's much shorter, doesn't deal with weighty issues, and is an easy read (it is often the first full-length book that foreign students of English read).
The animated movie sucks. Everybody pretty much agrees.
Here's a list of all the Minor Planets in the Solar System. Would make a good datafile for NPC names for a RPG, I think. Or a show-off list for one of those guys that can memorize Pi to 600 places. If you discover a Minor Planet you get to name it, subject to approval from the Astronomical Union (naming a discovery after a pet animal is discouraged).
I say, declare them new planets. It'll make all the astrology nuts (yup, believe it or not, there are still people who believe in astrology) redo all their charts and have to buy all-new materials. Look at what happened when Uranus, Neptune, Pluto were added 80-plus years ago.

suse uses .rpm format.
Linux is losing his standards? Methinks you're getting a little too personal with your operating systems.
HP/UX is not a fringe operating system, Mozilla supporter.

NASA did not make such a mistake...a private contractor did. NASA has plenty of things to go against it without making up false ones.

You can't run Linux on the Playstation 2!

They have recourse to get unblocked, you can be assured. They've chosen not to follow that path.

When were Silicon Valley venture capitalists mentioned in his post? I didn't read anything about them. Who cares how they dress?
Here is a Pitfall map for the Intellivision version. As you can see it's quite finite. Here's a far more cryptic ASCII drawing of the Pitfall map for the Atari 2600 version.
Check this out. It's the map...it's freaking huge and it still has blank spots where the guy couldn't go. What a game.

Actually, it comes back to the eternal question of "whom do you trust?"
Like the screenshots for xftp and xmftp? Fun fun GUI ftp clients...
Gentlemen, you can't fight in here...this is the war room!

I always thought that a comedy OS was something like WinCE, or MacOS.
What if you're a highly skilled IT worker with no college degree?
They're all hairy. Bring a case of Nair with you.
