Yes, but transfering audio in that manner is slow, since it has to be played in realtime. Where as it takes seconds to transfer minutes of audio over a standard USB connection. Plus you lose all title information.
There's only one problem with that, and it's the very reason I no longer use my very expensive MD (and also stated in parent article), because of Sony placed DRM restrictions, it is extremely cumbersome to move audio from the MD to Computer or any other medium. Plan and simple, Sony has shot themselves in the foot because of this.
Actually, a lot of my passwords I can't consciously recall. I use finger "gestures"/patterns for my passwords. I know the starting position of my hand, and then I just make the proper finger movements and my passwords is typed in. Change the position on the keyboard, keep the movements the same, and you've got a whole new password.
The problem is, they annouced the death of the Visor already at the end of the year stock holders meeting, iirc. The Treo is the future of the company from here on out.
I used to run an Fnord! web server back in college (pre linux days) it was a pretty kewl web server. I tried to find it again a couple of years ago, but 99% of the links to the software were dead, or said this software has been removed at the request of the author. I guess I now know what happened to it.
Actually, we are in the process of setting up PIX-to-PIX VPN's from Coast to Coast here in the US. On the Corporate side of things it's just two PIX's (515-to-520) with VPN accelerators (which are on back order at the moment). And then we have server farms that are going to be talking to each other coast to coast (using PIX 520's), and in CoLo's in between. It's very intereresting goings on. I'll let you know how things go if you like. I haven't heard much info about Router-to-PIX VPN. But I'd still give Cisco TAC a call, or check them out online. Good Luck!
SuSE completely reaffirmed my hope in linux on SPARC. I have several old Sparc Station 5's at work. The best thing that I have been able to install on them was Debian 2.1. That would take hours to install tho. RedHat 5.2 was next just another long slow install, with out of date packages (even tho I think rh5.2 was the best RH released but that's just me). Red Hat 6.0 and Red Hat 6.2 both have some sort of bugs that lock the install as it's installing the packages... and I tried over and over and over again to burn a good RedHat 6.1 CD but to no avail. Upgrading from Debian 2.1 to 2.2 was a BEAR! There is a circular dependancy between perl, libc and the kernel. And for some reason a strait install over the network would not work (I was doing all this so I could hook up our cd burner that, after a year of perfect service, windows decided it wouldn't burn a single good cd. So unless I had these distros on cd already it was a network install). Then I searched for other distros that supported SPARC. Lo and behold, there it was: SuSE of SPARC. I spent 3 hours installing debian 2.1 on it, just so I could burn SuSE to a cd. SuSE took about 20 minutes to install, reboot, setup and was up and running. It was absolutely amazing. It was just a wonderful feeling. I only wish that the company that I'm contracted to wasn't so cheap and only bought the 8bit framebuffers for these SS5's.
Not sure about the software version (the latest version for linux at the time (about a month ago)), but I've tried installation on various versions of RedHat and Debian. I will take back one comment tho, it does run, but only to tell me to give it an option switch, and no matter which valid option switch I give it, it loads, sits for a second, and then dumps me back into cli. I think you are right, it's probably something I did.
I downloaded it a couple weeks ago, and tried to get it to at least run, and it did abosolulely nothing on any boxes, no servers starts, no apps poping up, nothing. Tech Support was a joke, install instructions are worthless. Documentation was nil. Is it me? or am I totally missing something.
You didnt' read the entire ToS, (sorry, I tried posting it, but I was rejected by the lameness filter) But it states that that box connected to @Home can not be the "end-point" of a non-@Home lan. Looks like no NAT either.
You just have to remember, 1) All the debuging code is still in the built. Once that is removed, it will be alot faster, and use alot less memory. 2) This is still in the Alpha Software stage. Wait for a newer version, or help out. Don't complain about something if you aren't ready and willing to do something about it =)
I think they should have checked the info a little more clearly. According to Yahoo Shopper, that model is just a plan DVD player, and costs $279. Maybe someone modified a player. Donno.. just my.02

There is a proggie called X-WinPro, which is very nice. Tho it is a free trial versiont that only runs 30 minutes at a time, but it's still worth a look. MI/X is ok, it's probably one of the only free servers out there, but it's based on a server of X that's about 5+ years old. So some things don't display properly.

These doors, when locked, are one way doors. You can go out them, but you can't go in.
haha... classic... that was the first thing I thought of!

Didn't Sun write HotJava (a java based web browser)? As seen on Solaris 7 and others?

I think that I do remember Pine being multi-platform. Check it out: http://www.washington.edu/pine, *NIX and DOS/Windows ports
