Anyone have some real info to add to this? Especially about its reliability/quality and how well it works with Linux?"
I, too, am looking forward to testing the HD300. As far as Linux support goes, their owner's manual for the HD300 says nothing about Linux, and includes this rather ominous statement:
"However, the playlist of HD 300 music must be reorganized to Artist/Album.Genre/Title, via the MPIO Utility in the CD provided with the player, in order to enter into the menu and search for Artisit/Album/Genre/Title when searching for music files from the Navigation Menu. Otherwise, the 'No Playlist!' icon appears and you cannot search for music even with the Artist/Album/Genre/Title Menu."
Sounds like their software is required to generate a playlist, and that the device is unusable without one.
Anyone know of any Linux FOSS projects to alleviate this?
"SCO has been chomping at the bit to release this letter."
Champing, not chomping. Humans chomp, horses champ. It's "champing at the bit."

The fact that you say "tuning potential" tells me it's a four cylinder import that you're going to try and wring out some more horsepower from. Be advised that neon chassis lights and LED shift knobs do not reduce your ETs.
It's an old adage, but it remains true: there ain't no substitute for cubic inches.
Now, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Jap imports...at least, nothing that FOUR MORE CYLINDERS wouldn't cure.
They do produce them. They are used in their APEX integrated cockpit. Besides, if you google for "Honeywell" and "LCD" you'll see that most of the hits are for companies licensing LCD technology from Honeywell, like Samsung, NEC, and Toshiba.
Sooooo, how exactly is MS responsible for all 3rd party DLLs?
Because the programing rules that MS sets down allows third party authors to take a Microsoft library, alter it, keep the same name and allow it to continue life as if nothing ever happened, regardless of how other programs, dependant upon that original library, may react.
Also, listening to someone complain about proprietary technology and "openness" being a hinderance is pretty funny in the context of Mplayer, considering that the developers distribute codec packs consisting of commercial software...
Which is legal in Hungary. Welcome to the internet, son.
I can't help but wonder just how YOU came to know about them, you being such an upstanding citizen and all. Hmmm?
I plan on using a dual (ganged) pot, but I'd like to find one with a switch on the end of it (to eliminate the separate on/off switch). I can find pots with switches for single pots, but haven't found one for duals.:-/
Yes, I second your headphone amp recommendation. I just bought a set of Grado's and it's amazing how much better everything sounds (troubling, too: you can really hear the flaws in mp3s...I've pretty much gone back to CD's, although.ogg files still sound great). Anyway, next on my list is building a "mint tin" headphone amp.
"...don't you think the two major parties would begin to listen to what they have to say?"
They already have. More and more discontent is becoming evident, and being voiced by Reps and Dems, in regards to things like the loss of freedoms under the so-called Patriot Act, the insane war on drugs, etc.
The classic line, "why throw away your vote" could not be more false.
Everything the Libertarians do is being watched by the two major parties. But being "conservative and more conservative" (as someone posted), they are not going to jump in with both feet. They'll take it a little at a time, testing the waters. Which is fine; if Libertarian ideals become mainstream, then Libertarians have still won.

"Laser Disk, VHS twice (original and updated versions), DVD..."
Stars Wars has never been released on DVD.
Sure, it says "Star Wars" on the box, but what's on that DVD is NOT what I saw thirteen times that summer in 1977.
What bogosity...
...although, when you think about it, who knows what stolen code might be in Microsoft's software? What with it being "closed source" and all...
That's more than it's worth to me.
How many people thought "IP" in the title meant "Internet Protocol" raise your hands.

Because the programing rules that MS sets down allows third party authors to take a Microsoft library, alter it, keep the same name and allow it to continue life as if nothing ever happened, regardless of how other programs, dependant upon that original library, may react.
Even the Amiga, back in the 80's, knew better.
Once again MS reaps what it sows.
