Try streaming multimedia or doing a DirectX game over the Windows remote session. Not going to happen, is it? Try doing something sophisticated like operating a CAD program over the link- that's going to be "fun". It's not undoable, but the effort and wasted time is much larger over a network session than a local console. It's why companies usually got someone a workstation instead of an X terminal when they were doing CAD work.
They showed these devices at Computex in Taipei. That was some 3 or so months ago. The drawbacks to these devices is that you're not going to easily stream multimedia content, etc. to them- you're using a Citrix type framebuffer protocol. As a surfing device, it might be okay, but you're better off using something like a web pad or a tablet PC.
It's called DirectFB. GTK+ apps can already run under it directly. All it would take is to make sure that the pieces of GNOME that relied on something from X as opposed to the GTK+ interfaces are migrated and you'd have it.
X Whoops... Should have looked in the smoke detector that's just off the shelf...
Old smoke detectors used to use photoelectric sensors that were sensitive to everything including steam, etc. Too many false alarms were caused by these units and they couldn't be relied upon to sense smoke at low levels to be of real use in warning people. These days, if you buy a smoke detector, you're buying a device with an Americium based ionization detector that detects smoke and at low enough levels to be a real advance warning.
The key term here is "consumer" versus "customer". A consumer will consume something, largely no matter what. A customer is someone who must be convinced to buy their products.
They're assuming we're consumers instead of customers- and it shows.
The air at altitude for a jetliner will cause you to black out (hypoxia- look it up...) because there's not enough oxygen present at pressure for you to breathe. People fly all the time with more than a dozen in the cabin and for hours at a time with no problems- they seem to do it all the time these days.
This is not to say I wholly agree with their idea, just that your concerns are largely unfounded.
Same story with the jetliners we're flying in. They're pressurized containers flying at altitude. In theory, one can fly longer than the air would last in the cabin... How do they manage to keep enough breathable air in the plane to last for a 10 hour international flight?
The Spiderman Soundtrack was $17.99 in most locations. Some titles are reasonable, some are not. You're just interested in titles that are going to be cheaper.
Depends on your viewpoint. Many of the readers here are in the US. There's a growing problem in the US of companies viewing people as consumers instead of customers and politicians thinking of their constituents as nothing more than just taxpayers. You don't appear to currently have this problem, so the tagline's not relevent to you- in some ways, I envy some of the situation you've got in Sweden, in others I do not. If you're offended by the "US centric" nature of it, I fear you've got something of a chip on your shoulder and you'd be offended by most anything I'd put as a tagline.
Many of those links refer to something recent when the IMF/WorldBank conviened in Washington, D.C. Just because it's legal to do it doesn't mean someone's not going to illegally detain you all the same. Happens all the time.
To be honest, a lot of embedded coding is done with C or C++ these days. I've been following Crenshaw's articles in Embedded Developer magazine for years now. He explains a lot of what they try to teach in college Calc, etc. in simple, practical terms, and reduces it to usable algorithms.
I installed just fine and dandy with RH 7.0. It's all in what SCSI hardware was installed on it. Think of it as something being or not being on the current HCL- you had a config that didn't match up the HCL at the time for Red Hat. Should have checked the HCL ahead of time instead of blaming the distribution, etc.
In order for it to play content for MP3 files, it needs mpg123 or something similar. If mpg123 and it's ilk aren't included on RH, plugger can't play MP3 files. I don't know if RH has omitted mpg123 or not, but I suspect so.
Based on those links, I'd be chasing down something taking some of your low memory away from you so that it doesn't boot right. Keep in mind, it may still be an ailing HD as intimated in the LILO links. As for the bootloaders being ready, they are- you've got a special case that's causing you problems and many, many others don't seem to have your issues with them. I can't speak of Red Hat's support since I've not used their distribution in a while- so you may have a beef there.
An operating HD is more fragile than a DVD drive..

Microsoft Buys Rare

· Score: 2
And the most probable failure point on the other consoles is also present in the X-Box. So, there's two parts that are going to break in the X-Box compared to the one in the competitors' boxes.
It's telling when they pretty much have buy companies (Bungie, now Rare...) to put "exclusive" games on their console.
I beg to differ with the conclusions....

"Squishy" DRM?

It's more akin to:
1. Palladium - Less privacy, less fair use. 2. Squishy - Less privacy, more fair use.
In order for Palladium to be useful, it's going to have to report home periodically. I don't want either, but if they're going to make it so there's only two options, I'll take the second for sure.
...doesn't mean it's ready for release. It means that they have a source tree that compiles and largely executes under multiple platforms.
There's quirks, etc. from the Windows side that invariably slip into the mix that render code written to be cross-platform unstable. Those bits of code have to be found out (unless you're coding 100% for all the target platforms...) and fixed before release or you have something buggy as hell out there.

Simply put, if it's broken down to the molecular level, a Prion will still get ya.

There's a few projects I'm working up to doing that are pretty crazy- I want to do them because I can .
Embedded != Assembly coding.

I'd probably buy the book and add it to my shelf.

Plugger doesn't magically play content by itself.
