I'm sorry, but the IMDB's 100 worst films doesn't include Robot Jox or its sequel (which I had the foresight not to see).
Perhaps it's because only 19 people have seen it, but man, I have never ever seen a movie worse than that. Hell, it made Dolf Lundgren in _The Punisher_ look like Al Pacino.
Dynamat even has a computer kit sold from their website. Seems like you aren't the first to figure this out. Perhaps this should be pursued by those who want quiet machines.
The best way around this is to post the list of phone numbers/email addresses of MSN's advertisers, and call them/write them complaining that MSN has locked them out, and if it continues to do so, then you will no longer purchase their products.
This could be a case study for organizations and corporations on the Linux spirit and community. Switch a large charity organization over to an OS that itself is a large charity project.
This would be great for local LUGs to do - contact your local H4H office and ask if you can help.
I recall running across remote programs for my palm in the past. I'm hitting the same problem now, as my Denon AVR 3300 remote is maxed out, and now I must use the RCA DirecTV remote as well.
Advantages:
1) Large storage capacity.
2) Multi-function.
3) Customizable interfaces/macros.
4) Readily accessible and relatively low-cost. 5) Phone numbers of friends/pizza places on remote.;)
6) Ability to sync TV schedules.
Disadvantages:
1) Doesn't seem to work with all IR signals.
2) Not specifically designed for task
3) Relatively Small compared to high-end remotes.
4) Beam strength. (IIRC, has been fixed past PALM III)
5) Beam angle/IR port location.
6) Program Availability. (Can't really comment too much on this, as I haven't researched it in a long time)
7) Time required to input data. (Most programmables have codes that do the heavy lifting for you.)
Not only is it not the same because we don't know who, but it's not the same because it is a cowardly scumsucking thing to do.
Pearl Harbor was a military attack on a military target - a target that had at least some warning (length of which is debatable).
This is a terrorist/military attack on civilian targets with civilian instruments. It's only comparison to Pearl Harbor will be the giant it stirs within the American People.
Personally, I hope we build the largest structure mankind has ever attempted on the ruins of the WTC.
But you still have the GPL code that you worked on. They can only change the license on what they developed afterward the last release, there's nothing retroactive about it.
Wait a minute. I thought the GPL was viral - in that all future releases based on GPLed code must be GPLed. How can they change a GPLed program to a non-GPLed program? If subsequent code is intricately woven with the GPLed code, shouldn't it all be GPLed?
I'm curious about this as a whole, not just pertaining to this case.
I know Mozilla is released under the MPL and GPL simultaneously, which is a little hairy in my eyes, as the GPL should "overrule" the MPL. This is all so confusing. Anyone care to clarify? Or perhaps this would be a good Ask Slashdot to be sent off to the FSF or some such entity....
Sony has a Crusoe-based mini-laptop out now. Saw it at Frys two days ago. It's in their Viao line.

KDE 2.2 Released
·

No.
I want one huge workspace that can scroll. Not 4 individual workspaces - which is what KDE has.
I want to be able to drag an app to the corner of my screen and be able to go to the adjacent view and see the app.
Follow the steps listed in my post under gnome using the control panel, and you'll see what I mean. KDE doesn't have the colums/rows option for each workspace.
Hey, I've been looking for such a program... Anything exist yet? Website?

KDE 2.2 Released
·
· Score: 2
Disclaimer: I use both KDE and GNOME at the house. I have several computers, and I have my computer-illiterate girlfriend using KDE 2.1 with little problem.
There is one feature that GNOME has that KDE doesn't which, quite honestly, is the reason I use GNOME as *my* primary desktop. And it's the silliest thing, and perhaps the easiest to implement into KDE, yet I've asked a few times and even spoke to a few KDE developers at the ALS last year about it, and I've yet to see it arrive.
It's the desktop pager/guide. The desktop pager in GNOME (Desk Guide 0.4 in the version of GNOME I'm running now) is much more configurable. You can have multiple workspaces and these workspaces can have multiple windows (configured by the colums/rows option in the GNOME control center).
Thus, if I wanted to duplicate the multiple-workspace desktop a-la KDE - then I would pick 4-6 workspaces and configure these workspaces to have 1 row and 1 colum, hence having just the viewable screen real-estate for each workspace.
But, I don't particularly like that configuration. I want one big workspace with multiple rows/columns, so I can drag stuff to the side and it be on a different row/column of the same workspace. And I don't think KDE allows me to do this, hence I use GNOME.
Now, I know that is silly, but that is why I use GNOME over KDE as my primary desktop. However, I am impressed with KDE 2.x and I use Konq as my primary browser. So, if that could be squeezed into 2.2.1 or 3.0, I'd love it.
You've obviously never dealt with, or forgotten what it's like to deal with a 2 year old... you could be in the same room, turn your back for just one second... and BAMMM.. they're outta there... and fast.
Obviously, you didn't go to the electric-shock-collar school of parenting. The only "BAMMMs" my kids get is when they cross the invisible fence inside the house.
The little suckers are so cute when they twitch. HI Mom!
If we punish adobe enough, they might even find it in their interest to lobby against the DMCA. That's what moves DC lawmakers: lobbyists and money. They don't care squat about protesters. The protesters are political deviants as far as DC and the grey masses is conserned..
So modify these stupid Outlook worms to send emails to everyone in an address book stating how bad Adobe is. Hell, it'll look like it came from a friend, and people will be more likely to read it.
But, until then, I keep getting people's resumes...
My question is, when are distros going to start shipping with all services turned off by default? I can't imagine that any newbie is going to want to have finger, ftp, sendmail, etc running on their box. And for power users (like me), the very first thing I always do is go and turn off every single service.
Mandrake 8.0 ships like that. It even warns you before installing about what services are running.
And, I've found the firewall to be tighter than gnat-booty.

Getting to see the Clone Wars in action will definately be a treat, in a war of Jedi against Mandalorians
Dalorians? I thought those were banned after the Back to the Future series...

The hover boards did work.
IIRC, they required a large setup to put the EM field in the areas you want to ride the hoverboard.
So, yes, they worked. No, they weren't practical.
Props.
:(
Great troll, no bites.

blah. Consumption Junction [consumptionjunction.com] is the only place for serious weirdness in images on the net.
At one time I believed that too, until I found most of their stuff duplicated at steakandcheese.com usually prior to arrival on consumption junction.

There is a Linux Based PDA.
It's called Agenda
What about Robot Jox 2?
It couldn't possibly be worse than the first...

Maybe,
But I just got back from Planet of the Apes, and I gotta tell ya, that was some impressive costume design.

KINKI - KINKI Is Not K-Illustrator It's great for all your pr0n editing needs.
HI Mom!
Hopefully, Taco Bell will stick a target in the English Channel,and if the guy hits it, we all get a free Taco.
Hey, they tried it with Mir...
HI Mom!
Instead of standing rock solid and getting no cash, how about calling up Sony and asking them how much they'd pay for the trademark....
Now that would've been cool.
HI Mom!
Something about playing Netrek all night.
You do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around! That's what It's all About!
Why is that game so addictive?
HI Mom!
