He was an evil human being. He deserves no respect, anyone who loves him deserves no respect, and his relatives should be disavowing his stinking piss-covered corpse.
That's a silly argument. The Prius (which I drive) is a better car than the BMW X5 I had before. It's more technologically advanced, more comfortable to drive, and yes, more ecological. Making the statement that the car doesn't help the environment ignores facts.
PSPWare needs a few more features to make it great. First, it needs to convert AAC files to MP3s that the PSP can play. It already does this sort of conversion for movies, so adding music conversion should be fairly simple. It should also down-scale photos to the size of the PSP screen, and handle PNG files. (Right now images are copied full-size, and PNG files are not copied at all.)
Secondly, it needs to automatically convert movies, calculating the correct aspect ratio for the PSPs screen. I don't want to have to pick 4:3 or 16:9... I want it to handle other formats, letterboxing if necessary to properly present the movie.
That said, I also prefer PSPWare to iPSP. While the latter has nice movie support, converts music to MP3, and downscales images, it doesn't allow you to select playlists and albums to sync automatically.... rather, you have to 'copy' them one at a time to the PSP. This is very time-consuming. I.e., a pain in the ass.
I, too, have a squeezebox. Run your purchased music through the software available at http://www.hymn-project.org/ and it will play fine on your squeezebox. That's what I do.
bypassing the networks sponsors is not QUITE a victimless crime, as the networks are losing money by it.
Darn, I never realized that when I got up to take a pee during a commercial break I was committing a crime, complete with suffering victims! I'll never do that again!
Back in 1988 Thompson was the GOP challenger to Reno for the district attorney's job in Dade County. Thompson's unique campaign message was that Reno was unfit for the job because, as a closeted lesbian with a drinking problem, she was great candidate for blackmail by the criminal element. Jack never explained why this remained a threat even after he exposed her "secret." Reno cruised at the polls.
I swear to god, ATC on the Radio Shack TRS-80 shortened my life through sheer stress. I remember so many times feeling really horrible when there was a an impending mid-air collision. I wish someone would implement this game for Unix.
Actually, for the DirecTivo unit, it will depend on the stream sent over the DirecTV satellite. The TiVo portion of the unit stores this (MPEG) stream without further manipulation.
This is why the DirecTivo unit is far superior to the Tivo stand-alone unit. In the stand-alone version, the signal is uncompressed to analog, then recompressed, resulting in a double lossage.
The OS supports two-button mice, and pretty much any USB mouse should work.

Okay.

Apple has shown over and over again that they will defend their intellectual property. They've also shown that they're willing to publish the source to their new OS X as open source (Darwin.)
San Francisco is one of the leading cities in the U.S. for victimless street crime. My neighborhood (within a few blocks of city hall) is covered with bits of broken glass from auto thefts. I envy Britain their CCTV system. I wish we had a similar system here. The fact is that when Britain started installing the CCTV system, crime fell by approximately 50%.
I think that the street is a public place, and 'loss of privacy' is an argument that only serves crimimals and paranoids.

500,000 drivers in Saskatchewan commute 6 hours every day?
Remind me not to move THERE.

Why is goatse on the L.A. Theatreworks page? I mean, I'm as much a goatse fan as anyone, but it was a little much first thing in the morning...
Why is that Christianity is the only religion it is still ok to hate?
Because Christianity is the religion most likely to judge and condemn people? (Well, okay, Islam too.)
(Speaking as a gay married man, I find it very easy to hate christianity.)

I'm sure they would appreciate your money! But they aren't asking for it.
Check out Pueblo, a HTML-based open source MUD client for Windows.
It rocks.
