I have no doubt Bush will win. However, I think it'd be funny to see Kerry win and screw things up even worse...resulting in all the liberals having to eat their words (oh, right, they never do...it's always the Republicans fault somehow).
The only people still fighting for Kerry are the Deaniacs. Everyone else knows Hillary in 2008 is your only hope.
That's it...blame your problems on Bush...that'll make you feel better.
You're not only an idiot, but you're pompous as hell if you think anything the President of the United States has done resulted in you losing your job or failing to find a new one.
AFAIK, it's because all of the decoding is done on the PC. None of these machines are powerful enough to handle the process.
I know what you mean, though. I spent months looking for an MP3 player that didn't require any sort of intermediary software. Luckily, I found the Archos line, and never looked back.
Well, the software application it uses to stream the media is only available for Windows currently. I think that is the major obstacle. But, I'm really not able to answer your question as I haven't had the time or inclination to mess around with the box.
I picked up the Go Video D2730 Network DVD player when it was Buy.com's deal of the day a few weeks ago for $99. It was a great deal. I pulled it out of the box and hooked it up to my router and suddenly I could watch any Simpsons episode I wanted at any time, or stream any mp3 on my home network through my entertainment center's sound system.
The interface is clunky, but I'm holding out hope that it's being redesigned. The only other downside I've seen is from those who've tried swapping out the bundled wired ethernet card for a wireless option. While Go Video claims they support wireless, apparently performance takes a major hit.
Also, the 'server' software restricts streaming of.avi files unless it detects a CPU over 1.2 ghz. That can be bypassed by editing an.ini file, but it's a good recommendation if you don't want your shows to skip.
That list was pointless...it was essentially the top ten highest foot traffic areas in the city. Of course you will have the highest concentration of dropped calls where you have the highest concentration of people trying to use their phones.
Please, address a real issue, like the fact that Hyde Park has awful coverage when factoring the number of customers in the community.
IIRC, parthenogenesis is what's known in laymen's terms as a 'virgin birth' phenomenon, in which an egg fertilizes itself after being tricked into believing that it has received DNA from another parent. There is only one contributor of genetic material, making the offspring a clone of the parent.
In this experiment, DNA was received from two sources, both of them just happened to be female. This difference is profound, because it produced the effects of traditional genetics, (hold on to those Punnett squares!) without the need for males.

I just got one of these, and I was kinda pissed.
But, then I ran Adaware and found that somehow I'd picked up Gator in the last few days. It's possible that one of the links on the main page resulted in many people getting Gator installed recently, and now they are seeing these.
Hmm...I seem to recall a command you can enter to extend the trial indefinately with the only side effect being a nag screen...something like '/extend'...Don't quote me on it, though.
The telemarketers have a better axe to grind, however, in their argument that the SCOTUS acted inappropriately in creating 'classes of speech'. The idea that one person's speech is not protected because of it's motivation is counterintuitive to the nature of the 1st Amendment, and I can very easily see this activist court giving weight to the argument. The Chaplinsky decision, which created the concept of speech classes, has been pretty much ignored since it was handed down, and nearly every class of less protected speech has been brought under the protection of the 1st Amendment (blasphemy, defaming public officials, lude and pornographic material w/ a couple caveats).
I don't see the problems that Mr. Miller raises at LawMeme coming to fruition. I think that Aaron went too far in suggesting that users should be able to determine where their money is spent. They made that decision when they decided what to listen to. The system should be automated to pay the users whose work was played most. Your vote was clicking play.
I've been using the cordless optical for almost a year, and it's amazing. I initially thought I might lose some sensativity, but it turns out I can snipe just as well as with a corded mouse in FPSs and there's one less thing to clutter my desk.
I have no complaints regarding this mouse. It is truly spectacular. If you can afford it, buy it.

The management at my place of business has gone so far as to decommission the staff mailing list as a result of the Merry-Go-Round messages that SoBig is causing.
That's the ticket, security through avoidance...don't bother to update those virus definitions, just get rid of the e-mail's target.
The reasoning doesn't really matter to me. The net effect of all of the above is that Verizon is the only ISP who has truly fought to keep the RIAA's hands off this information.
The different arms of these corporate behemoths are rarely interconnected. I believe that there was a/. story a while back where Sony was suing part of itself.
I guess it's feasible that the ISP wing would just cough up the info to the Media/Lawyer wing, but I wouldn't think that sort of policy is really conducive to retaining customers.
Stranger things have happened (at AOL)...I appreciate the insight.

Just returned from judgment, and thought I'd post a quick rundown.
Snell Hitchcock won by more than 1500 points.
Max Palevsky was second.
The FIST was third.

I've never seen anything marketed as 'drag-and-drop', without external software, and USB that doesn't function just like an external USB harddrive.
The Archos does, and this looks to be the same sort of system on a smaller scale.

From the Gateway store:
"Incredibly easy to use, this audio player requires no special software - just drag and drop music and data files directly onto the device."
Looks like it works like the Archos, just like an external USB harddrive. There's no software required, thus, DRM is likely absent.
