I know the Archos AV120 has a CF reader for 30 USD from amazon. (the reader, not the player.) I don't know about the more current mp3 players, as I've stuck with the AV120 (it works...that's fine by me) but one reason I bought it was for the CF reader. Anyway...short answer is "yes."
I didn't read much of anything other than your response, but what if that particular patch broke critical functionality? Either way, the poor guy's getting his head bitten off...
Maybe I pirated a different version of XP Pro than you did, but when it asked me to activate anything, I just pressed 'cancel.' I've installed this CD with this key on 10 individual machines, all with different IPs (and those are just the ones I can distinctly remember) and at this point, 'cancel' worked every time...
I sort of agree with this. While checkboxes are easier than CL switches, every layer of complexity just makes room for more to go wrong. Take fdisk for example. I still use the command line fdisk over all the others for one simple reason: it's simple. When it comes to managing several partitions, there's a lot less room for things to go wrong. What if I was in a hurry, or slightly intoxicated (Or very intoxicated, for that matter) and I checked the wrong box because they all look pretty much the same? Oops...there goes a lot of data. (Maybe fdisk isn't the best example...you could (should?) be able to back out of the changes without committing to disc, but I'm straying from my point.) With the CL fdisk, 'n' makes a new partition, 'd' deletes one. Everything I do with that one is, more than likely, very intentional. 'n' is several keys away from 'd'. With a GUI, the difference between creating and destroying is only a few pixels. (If this doesn't make sense, just ignore it...I'm tired.)
I knew better but was in a hurry and did it anyway. Plugged in the mouse, computer went locked with an infinite beep. I turned it off, back on, keyboard port never worked again...
Because a computer is much more complicated that a toilet or a lightbulb. It makes me sick (yes I do tech support) how many people get to use a computer as a tool for their job, but don't have a clue how to use it. Would you really trust a carpenter to build your house if they had no clue how to us a hammer or a tape measure? No. But any fool can be given a computer, regardless if they even know how to turn the thing on.
That wasn't really worth the wait...a seizure-inducing flood of images and a thousand Smiths. Oh yeah, and in case you forgot, this is the last of the trilogy.
They had a story about it on the 10:00 news on Fox rather recently (less than a month ago.) Whether or not anyone will do anything about it is a different beast entirely...
If anyone cares, the lawsuit against MS was because a preview release of Windows (3? 3.1? don't remember) wouldn't install on a DR-DOS machine. So people bought MS-DOS to run the preview. When the "final" edition came out, it had no problems installing, or running, under DR-DOS. FYI. Do with it as you please.

First thing I thought about were projectors. Smaller projectors seem like a good idea, but I could be wrong...

ummm...yeah...pretty much

Don't give them any ideas...this is America after all...
Lilo still works fine...in fact, most installers I've seen still give you a choice...

That would be the analogue version...
Actually, I've had trouble with the Windows install screwing up the MBR with everything since Win98. Just for reference...

I agreed with you until you said "aircraft". I wouldn't mind owning my own helicopter :)
So you just hit CTRL+ALT+R to kill xdm...dunno about kdm or gdm...but then again, you still need to login at the console.
That's easy...what self-respecting geek doesn't have backups? ::ducks::
