    Ummm Digital Millenium Copyright Act? No 1st a Car is a physical object not digital information.
    2nd Are you trying to illegally copy the car? No you are trying to repair it. No DMCA involved. Now maybe if all they did was lease cars maybe they could say you cannot work on the car. Or under warrenty I guess they could say you invalidate the warrenty by having repairs done by a non-authorized person, and maybe invalidate the lease too. But if you buy it you own it period nothing they can say about what you do with it.

    Nah, and you don't need a fire extinguisher. Just a hangover and the blanket you slept on the night before to beat the flames out with.

    It helps if the car is a 1975 Cadillac Sedan DeVille with and engine bay large enough to live in.

    I actually had my congress women ( I lived in Oakland at the time but I can't remember her name ) find me an approximate count of all federal laws. It was in the 80,000 range. So no I don't think there is a person who could even come close to rattling off even a small percentage of the existing laws. In fact I have often wondered if it is even possible to go through a normal day with out breaking at least one law.

    and if you want a feature implemented, the Gimp is open source, you are free to add whatever features you want. Simple as that.
    Oh yes, I think everyone would agree that programming a replacement for Photoshop is simple.

    This I think is the most ridiculous argument for OSS that I always hear. Not all of us a programmers, especially the ones who need the advanced features of Photoshop. Just because I can look at the source does not mean I can understand it. Oh maybe you mean I should go out and hire a programmer to implement those changes, I somehow doubt that would cost me less then the $799.00 that it cost me to purchase Photoshop.

    (admission of guilt follows)

    I used to use an illegal copy of Photoshop while I was learning it. I am sure most slashdotters have. Now that I use it to earn a living I felt it was required that I go out and purchase a valid license.

    Wasn't the PII a slot based CPU, hence the CPU would be larger then the standard palm device. And those processors weren't designed to maximize battery life. I'd guess you would get to hear maybe 2 or 3 songs before your batteries crapped out.

    I am soo jealous. Last year I tore some ligaments and tendons in my knee, nice emergency care, I saw a doctor for all of 10 minutes got a splint and some ibuprofin and sent on my way. 3 months of limping and a hospital bill in excess of $1000 US. No I did not have insurance at the time.
