Hey, they're still supporting the Rio Car. The guys in Cambridge are working on the 2.0 software as we speak...Go over to http://www.riocar.org for the best info on that player.

No, it's using the same software that powers the empeg car player, which is kick ass itself...And if the Audio out sound quality is even half as descent as the car player, I'm going to buy one...
Well, those mailing lists your on is 99.99% of the time you signed up for the list. No one here has a problem with mail lists like that. It's just when a spammer just randomly picks addresses(or buys a list of addresses) and mails out spam, that's where the problem lies. It takes up *my* resources to receive something I don't even want at all.
And I do feel that it needs to be practical to put a restraining order put on someone who spams. I consider it to be the same as junk faxing, and there *are* laws against that.
Everyone owns shreders(not the Ninja Turtle kind) nowadays...Even I don't let potentially important info go into the trash without being shreded. It's *very* difficult to get information off of a sheet of paper that's been through a crosscut shreder.
Hey, they own those stations, so they have a right to choose what to play. If they think something is in bad taste, the won't play it. That's not censorship that's choice. The government hasn't told them not to play questionable songs, they decided it was in their best interest as a business or maybe in their interest as humans. This is not censorship this is a business esercising it's freedom to choose to do what it wants.
Well, if they didn't own like 50-100% of all the stations in most markets I wouldn't have a problem with it, but since they do (go look at a list of stations they own), that means you won't be able to hear the songs at all unless you own the albums! So this could be considered a case of censorship(It's not just for goverments anymore) and also a good reason why the FCC should have never relaxed how many stations a compay could own.
Since the DOJ won't do anything to MS now...Since the breakup was the most punnishing thing that they would think of doing(forcing them to release the OS code to PD would be the best way), and anything less is just a slap on the wrists. MS is going to get rid of it's competitors they only was they can, make them illegal to use. And if this bill passes, that would be the case because we would not put this crap into the Linux kernel.
This time we need to get out and do something. Not just whine and bitch about our goverment bending us over and using a splintered 2x4 where the sun don't shine. Write your reps, call your reps, go in person and see your reps, just don't e-mail them, that has a negative effect, they don't even read them, and will most likely drive them to the wrong conclusion.
I've been playing around with the demo for a while now, and all I can say is, that if you haven't tried it, do it. It's a great game, and I'll buy the Linux version as soon as I see it on the shelf here.
With all the problems that Loki is having, I doubt that this game will ever get shelf space...I don't seem to recall seing T2 or SMAC on the shelves at all. I'd recomend just ordering from Loki directly like I'm going to when I get some money.
So you really don't want to get caught violating the DMCA with freely distributed software. Man... can you imagine a judge handing down a 5000 year sentence for copyright violation?
Yea, and when you got out, the copyright on the court transripts wouldn't have expired yet.
Yes, I know it's a lame attempt at a joke, but it had to be said.
Well, my 2001 Chevy Caviler radio controls the door chime, the AIRBAGS and THE FRIGGIN IGNITION SYSTEM!!!! It cost me $250 to have a radio installed, and what they had to do was run wire harness to the trunk, so they could keep the radio in the circut so that my car could run. Now if that's not trying to tie up a market, I don't know what is.
He probally used ZoneAlarm, which will lets you block programs from accessing the internet while letting other programs work normally. It's a very good way to do it, but it just takes one lapse to screw everything up.
Well, I know some people who use Eudora, and *they* got it. All you need to do is be stupid and open the attachment, and it'll infect and send messages to everyone anyways, it doesn't *need* the outlook/oexpress address book.
So for once, it's not an outlook issue.
Oh, like what they did to Tribes 2. They went in and removed parts of some of the maps, and castrated the small fighter jet, and set the fog to about 2 meters away.

Unless it's a voice vote, then all you know is the fact that it passed, not who voted for it.
I know for a fact that TX has one. I'd say, give it a shot, but I've got a feeling that they'll just laugh at you, and say "Sorry, We can't do anything."
He's not complaining about his computer being too slow, he's complaining about the fact that important pieces of software(The OS and window manager) waste CPU cycles, and slow down the computer, and most likely could be written to go much faster.
How about this...I just bought a new Chevy Caviler. It's got a AM/FM radio, no Tape, no CD. I went to have the radio I took out of my old car installed. I come to find out that the radio that came with the car handles the chime(like when you leave your lights on, seatbelt, and such), and has something to do with the ignition system, WTF? So in order to install an aftermarket radio, I've got to either mount the new radio somewhere else and tie into the system somehow, or run wires somewhere, so I have have the old radio still tied into the system.
Now if that's not trying to kill the car stereo market, I don't know what is.
Here's an indicator of poor preforming stock. One that doesn't pay dividends.
Yes, that's something that Microsoft doesn't do, pay dividends on it's stock. The only way you can get money from shares of Microsoft is to sell them...And then to make money, you have to sell them at a higher price that when you purchaced them.
Oh, and by the way, Microsoft has never paid a dividend on their stock at all.
I'm sorry, I know this person is a troll, but I got to say it.
Monitoring what your kids do IS YOUR JOB!!! Just because you feel that your time is too valuable to be wasted on raising your children mean that you have a major problem, and need to foster your children out to some people who would love them and raise them in the way you can't seem to find the time to do so because you're time is too valuable to waste it on your children.
One little thing you forget about GPS, the military can totally shut off the civilian signal. They did that during the time Bush attacked Iraq(The first time, not Bush v2.0 attacks)

Ah, but is your switch plugged into a UPS?
12. months of rent
11. thousand dollars
Isn't that the same thing in Boston?
You know, it would suck if you worked in a factory that used flour
