The Frontier Labs Nex II Mp3/WMA player has been out for more than a year and supports IBM Microdrive and CompactFlash. When you plug it in to your computer, it shows up as an external hard drive and you can copy all filetypes onto it, making it useful as a portable hard drive as well.

Would it be possible to use the dreamcast to boot linux and then run a divx player that would play movies at acceptable framerates full screen by streaming them from a nfs/samba share on the network using the dreamcast's broadband adapter? If so, this might make a great DivX player because it is quiet and has good image/sound quality.

These things have been around for a long time.

ClearView (http://clear-viewtech.com/) has been making acrylic cases forever. They even have tinted/smoke colored acrylic. Their stuff is top-notch and very reputable. This is well-known in the hardware/overclocking community. You folks should read the [H]ard|OCP news page more often and the/. news people should never have posted this story.
If the government acknowledges that there is illegal activity going on and yet does nothing to stop it and instead simply taxes it, then it seems as if the government is almost condoning this type of activity (if I pay the task, I might as well get my money's worth) and this would make this type of activity all but legal.
Off topic, but once I bought a 50-pack of "blank" CD-R's from CompUSA. Well, for some reason I couldn't burn onto them. I discovered that about 10 of the CD's had Monty Python videos on them. I love Monty Python, but this wasn't too cute. Evidently, CompUSA (There's that goatse link again)someone had returned these to the store and they just repackaged them. Now, to quote the previous poster,
"Don't you think that if a huge chain like CompUSA was doing this (and somehow you found out about it), they'd have a tremendous problem on their hands? "
Go figure. If CompUSA would sell known defective products ( the discs must have been returned as 'defective'), what's to stop them from selling only 'partially' defective products like OC'd CPUS?
Just my story for today,
