That's one reason I could never order online. When I decide to buy something I want it immediately and when something is broken I wan't it even faster. Couple years ago I bought cd-rw drive and I had to wait it for a month because they didn't have it stocked and importer had problems delivering it. Never again. Last time I bought new system (mb+proc, because I burned my earlier because of stupid mistake) I considered my options for a little over day and after I had a list it took maybe three hours when I had them in my hands (took a bit extra time because I had to go get some cash first). When the first mobo turned out to be faulty I just headed back to shop to get new one.
Shouldn't be a problem. People often encode movies with XviD and then change the FourCC code in the avi file from XVID to DIVX so players will use DivX 5 automatically.
My parents '84 Saab 90 and every other Saab we've own, including our slightly younger 9000 has had light memory. When the electricity is turned on the lights illuminate automatically and stay on until the electricity is turned. And since the law requires lights to be on when driving it doesn't require complex logic to determine when they should be on. And if you want the lights on or off, you just use the light switch that you don't usually ever have to touch. Of course this creates the problem that when I'm driving some one else's car I never remember to turn lights on =(
With feel, do you mean how the brake pedal kicks back hard enough to hurt?
I can see how the feel could be important in older and race cars, but with ABS you either push it gently in normal situations where there's hardly need for a "feel", or push it as hard as you can and let the ABS take care of the rest.
You better hope they don't come up with the idea of rearward facing cameras. I saw a pic in finnish car magazine of a biker covering his rearplate with his foot. Looked like a sure way to get killed.
For example, at least in keyboards where right alt is alt-ground you need two hands to go back, really annoying. I myself prefer my Opera with z- and x-keys for back and forward.
Why do you care about moderation. If you don't think moderation is needed then don't look at the scores and but your treshold in to minimum. That way Slashdot does not have any moderation in practise.
I think that we are capable of producing good code when it is needed. I doubt there are many bugs in, for example, programs that are in use in something like F-18. I don't think something like MS Office really needs to be any better than it already is.
It would be interesting to see, in what situation would internet be today, if people would have watch and clicked at those ads. Maybe sites wouldn't have to consider subscription fees if they could get enough money from ads. We had an internet that worked like television, but we destroyed it. Then when your favorite site becomes chargeable you have no one else to blame but yourself, so suck it.
Any other non-free payment system is BROKEN by definition, and will thus never gain wide spread acceptance.
What about credit cards, don't they have fees. Even though it is more like a loan people think of it as cash and it is almost more popular.
You have always had to pay for internet. First it was text content paid by government (universities, military) aka taxpayers aka you, then it was advertisers aka customers aka you, and now you have to pay for it directly, put at least you now know about it
How much equipment and effort went to laying those fiber-optic cables to the bottom of the Atlantic ocean. 10 or 20 years ago those might have been paid by governments with taxpayers money, but today they are done by privaty companies who need to get paid for doing it.

And that's why they don't use the cheap desktop computers on those nad instead go for the expensive quality stuff.

Supporting XviD isn't probably a problem since DivX 5 can play back XviD just fine, but the Ogg may be more problematic.

AFAIK .divx are only renamed .avi files, not a new container format.
I would be happy if my cd-rs would last 10 years, but I'm not counting on it.
Notice the "shortly after"

You probably don't have DMA enabled for your burner. It would probably help greatly.
For example, at least in keyboards where right alt is alt-ground you need two hands to go back, really annoying. I myself prefer my Opera with z- and x-keys for back and forward.
in eDonkey one can create a collection for example of all the songs from one artist, or all the episodes in one tv-series.

Well... if the japanese had won, no one propably wouldn't have asked. It's true, the winner writes the history.
