A military HumVee and a consumer Hummer are very different vehicles and have very different standards of quality. The DoD HumVee is a very different machine designed for military manoeuvres. The consumer hummer is a rod hog with a standard pickup truck engine.

They wouldn't do so because by opening up their networks without all others doing so, the business benefit would disappear quickly. They'd be paying costs for maintenance on their lines when everybody else is using them and not sharing theirs.
If the FCC mandates it, everybody does it all at once and the business benefits (if any) become balanced.
After all they had to create a 6000 page document without releasing any information on how to make their "open" standard work. There are so many statements like "functions as per Word 95" without explaining what that means. They must have worked long hours creating a specification that doesn't actually specify how to implement it.
IBM is being a big bully and not allowing Microsoft to screw the public and private companies of the world as Microsoft wants to.
Right now, unless it's a top hit in the States, we in Canada have to wait years to see an American cable or other TV production. So if movies are delayed, I'll lose my reason to go to the theatre, just like I don't watch broadcast TV anymore.
Dungeon Keeper was a great game with a simple premise. Dungeon Keeper II forgot that adding Mega-3D graphics and a storyline that nobody would care about doesn't make the game better.
Adding new monsters and more flexibility was needed.
Wow. Your entire post was a fud filled ad for this product.
Mplayer does just work. If you want it pretty, it's called gmplayer and it nicely integrates with Gnome, KDE, Fluxbox, whatever. It can nicely integrate with almost any theme based environment due to it's rather nice theme engine. I'm not sure what you're talking about by calling it a "geekish" app.
It is in full development, they're just trying to stabilize for version 1 (after years of beta, it's nice to see). As for the legalities, you just can't distribute it. Nobody said you can't download and install it. It will also compile on a vast variety of hardware and includes a fantastic number of codecs either built-in or through ffmpeg.
You can stick to gstreamer if you like, it's good software but don't for a minute think that anything else you posted was true.
Time has been copping out for years. They choose something simple or someone inoffensive when there are lots of people who have affected the news (for good or ill).
If they give up and name it properly, soon it will be Time's Inoffensive Concept/Being of the Year!
If someone shoots one plane down, they get credit for shooting down 6 or more? Wow! What a great way to ensure victory!
Call me narrow-minded but when a pilot gets busy when things are going wrong, he's not going to have a lot of time to control anything but what he's sitting in, right?
Find something that everyone finds bad (bullying) and use it as an excuse to prevent anonymous free expression! I wonder how long until the US mandates this?
Just think about it, mandatory identification for your protection. It's just like the passport idea but on-line.
Gee, I wonder what company will win the bid to design and build the huge database for everyone's name and login id's?
Greenland was NEVER green. It has always been ice, the discoverer called it Greenland in order to get settlers. Nobody was going to risk the hazardous journey across the ocean for another land of ice and snow.
Actually, Radio Shack is not "The Source", the company that ran the Radio Shack stores in Canada lost rights to the Radio Shack name for various reasons. They're full name is "The Source by Circuit City". Radio Shack is returning slowly but surely to Canada.
Proof? Go here
Make sure you boycott the right stores.

Great, submit it as prior art. Maybe you can get this one rescinded.
So it's like a really character password with random characters and punctuation and stuff?
That doesn't sound like it would be worth a patent.
Then again, it might be more interesting and have non-typeable characters...
Or maybe just "Joshua"
In capitalist America, media controls government!
I wonder if the RIAA reads this site... 750GB of MP3s at 5meg per song... carry the one...
I can see the dollar signs in these thieves eyes now.
Add to that all of the upgrade coupons gleefully thrown away on receipt plus those who were scrubbed and replaced with Linux like my laptop.
Hopefully they've sold enough to pay for Bill Gates retirement party.

CNW Marketing is an automotive marketing "research" practise.

First sell your soul. Once you've done that, selling things will come naturally without that nagging morality getting in the way.

PC World brings you the top 20 most frequent advertisers' current most hyped object!
But wait! There wasn't an iPod! But iPods are the most innovative things evar!
Number 0 must be the iPod Video, now with rubber ducky control built in!
If you can find an Osbourne, it's a big deal for the history of the computers. It was the first real "portable" consumer computer.
That 5" diagonal screen and 5.25 floppy drives were all the rage.
Not that it wouldn't be nice for some but I really don't want to listed to 20 people's conversations all at once in a plane for 5 hours.
The only benefit I can see is hooking up to the high speed data network and web surfing for my entire flight.
Nobody is so important they can't be unreachable for a few hours.
Time has been copping out for years. They choose something simple or someone inoffensive when there are lots of people who have affected the news (for good or ill).

The article says they make 18 billion a year! Since they've been building bricks since 1958, that means there's a HELL of a lot of bricks somewhere.
I think a recycle your Lego campaign should start and you should send all your old Lego to me.
This is not just a grab to make sure I have more Lego than you.
Who's LMH? The article just assumes you know who that is!
His son's computer isn't hooked to the Internet, and only plays store bought games aimed at 7 year olds.
:)
Viruses shouldn't be a problem for him. Now, mind you if it gets hooked to the internet for 30 seconds, all bets are off...
