In the year 2003, the Microsoft empire begins its downfall. Amongst the world begins a separatist action that forms an alliance in an attempt to destroy the Microsoft world once and for all. Headed by the leaders of open source community, the alliance begins to lure the povs into using free software. Companies begin to get tempted into the idea and sign off contracts with Microsoft.
The ruthless Lord Gates has foreseen these events. Being the student of the evil Senator Pulpentine, Lord Gates creates a dark force across the alliance. In 2002, he anonymously puts out a $200,000 reward for anyone who completes the quest to run Linux on his empire's Xbox. The alliance named this generous rewarder of money Sir BiG. It was through a secret company that Sir BiG had established to create Open Source software. A company that directly competed with Microsoft. A company that supported the initiatives of Mozilla and OpenOffice. It was one hell of a company, yet was so quiet amongst the alliance. Its purpose was to wreek havoc amongst the alliance and bring back the Microsoft order that once was.
With the lack of understanding of the trap, the alliance's strongest programmers enter the quest. Slowly they managed to crack open the doors of this Xbox machine.
Knowing what is about to come, Lord Gates orders Senator Balmer to begin creating an army of clones for Microsoft. The army was a new strand of the Xbox, but seemed like an exact replica of the original machine. It was named the Xbox v1.0001.fucklinux internally at Microsoft. The machine was capable of detecting unsigned MS operating systems and M-O-D (modification of darth-X) on it. When this happened, the Xbox v1.0001.fucklinux would signal to MS coporation through its embedded encrypted wireless adapter - hidden so deep that no alliance member knew about.
The alliance members finally finished hacking the Xbox and posted their results.Sir BiG generously pays the reward to the great hacker that is, Jedi Fuxnix. Seeing Fuxnix as a potential threat, Lord Gates tempts him to become a Council member of the order with the other great Jedis who sit there. Fuxnix finally agreed after seeing all the money that Lord Gates was raking in.
After this time, the alliance runs in to chaos. They had all by now seen an Xbox running Linux and began buying themselves their own Xboxes just to run Linux. Little did they know that these were fucklinux models. Sir BiG's company finally reveals itself, but is sued by Microsft for MegaMillions. The alliance members began to get sued one by one by the evil Microsoft Empire. Members began fearing the dark force, not knowing what to do they discarded their greatest weapon of all time - their PC - and ran out to buy Xbox games just to avoid legal action.
Lord Gates looked upon the world and laughed and laughed, . He had brought back the power of Microsoft and forced all geeks to use Xboxes with legit Xbox games. Microsoft finally is able to reap profit from the Xbox and bring itself back to forefront of the commercial enterprise. Sir BiG was never to be heard of from that day, but Lord Gates wasn't upset at losing that position. It was well worth the effort. He looks at his minions and says, "we shall continue the order with Xbox fucklinux 2"...
jahshakafx's interface seems like it was inspired from Discreet Combustion - a default dark interface with a lot of buttons, but Combustion's interface is extremely nifty once you get the hang of it.
What would happen if their approach was to release empty hardware overseas with not DVD support whatsoever and only support for AVD? And even not support for MPEG/AC3/etc? Then they can put up a Firmware (unofficially;-) on the net in China and people (uh... resellers) can flash the systems to enable the DVD capability?
This would also be great for those of us who get frequent blackouts, like to dine outside where lighting isn't portable (eg night BBQs at the park) and camping trips.
Ok, since we're all stuck on the Internet, which is something that has to grow in size continually, I'd say one the routing algorithm has got to be one of the most important. The Internet can't exist without it. Also to note is that we do need faster routing algorithms to cater for future addressing.
ahhh, the test of Linux loyalty, or for that matter open source loyalty. Not being a troll or flaming anything, it makes me wonder whether the MS upshots are more loyal than the majority of open source fanatics.
So if I watch all the trailers then I'll be able to piece together the movie? Then what's the point of me watching it? Doesn't matter to me anyways, I think the new SW stuff isn't that great. If it weren't for Natalie Portman being in the series, then I wouldn't even bother watching Lucas' crap.
I believe it's really sad that they're doing this. No alternatives? I've read reports everywhere that there are alternatives to generating stem cells without the process of creating embryos. Truly a lack of respect for life. They just want a quick way out and make money fast, that's the Chinese way of doing things - money money money.
Microsoft chairman Bill Gates has claimed that Windows XP was built to enhance the Internet Experience, allowing faster downloads and provide a global wide file connectivity. "Graphics will pop out in front of you like never before. We will continue development of Windows XP so that your Internet experience will simply be mouse clicks, but that you can actually feel the contents", explains Mr Gates. "People can share movies and music that they've created with friends and relatives with ease, like never before", his reference to Movie Editor and Media Player.
"Microsoft has done many great things for us, and with Windows XP, I am now able to share my files with friends easily by signing up with MSN. No longer do I have to download thrid party Napster or AOL Messenger, I already have the software built into Windows XP", says Kid Joe, a fanatical fan of Windows XP. "I can now compress movies to MPEG-4 and perform scene cuts on them and then give it to my friends. It is so easy with Microsoft tools. I can do the same with songs too... look I'll demonstrate". Kid Joe then creates a Windows audio collection of his latest Britney Sphericals CD.
Bah! Ogg is becoming very popular in Asia - go to Thailand and check it out. Reason so is because they have realised that you can fit more albums on a CD than MP3 due to the smaller file sizes of Ogg. The western market, however, is a little slow in accepting the format since no-one can find Ogg collections and players.
If the Chinese mfrs cannot export to the US or Europe, just remember that they still have the Asian market, most of whom cannot afford to pay for expensive imports. This is a significant number, far exceeding exports to the western nations. If Philips and co are demanding such high royalties, I doubt that these manufacturers will pay up.
I've personally stopped buying Sony products due to their proprietariness and their support for stupid laws put out (as you've mentioned). Whenever I am asked to build a computer for someone, I always tell them that I will not be getting a peice of Sony for them. I tell 'em, Sony makes crappy products and charges them a larger chunk than other companies.
However, due to their position, there are many Sony resellers around. The average Joe doesn't understand Sony's tactics, all they know is Sony as a brand - the brand for them. I am really irritated that my uncle in law keeps on thrashing his money into Sony products, it's totally impossible to recommend him alternatives that are better quality and price than Sony.
I doubt that people in the know can do anything about Sony's arrogance since there are too many average Joes running around.
I wouldn't be caught wearing one of these. Walking down the street will have you being named called, spat upon, mugged, and beaten to death. No way... especially when it's a sign of dickheadedness.
At least in the old days USENET was not flooded with spam and noise. It's a real pity, since google wastes enormous space archiving all that dirt material.
Remember that Lucas made those movies in the days where he was wanting to make a big name for himself, and trying to get his first break. Now that he's got the money, it's not as an important thing - less motivation for greater imagination. He's getting old anyways. After seeing Ep 1, I'm not really enthusiastic about the coming ones.
The first time I was exposed to the Internet was through www.playboy.com, and I thought "wow, the Internet is going to bloom so quickly", and it did. I guess you need to be exposed to the right context before correct preditions are made.

H@ck50r time. Now the 3l33t can prove themselves
This would also be great for those of us who get frequent blackouts, like to dine outside where lighting isn't portable (eg night BBQs at the park) and camping trips.
jealousy - the money Lucas spent into creating Jar Jar could feed the person and their family for the rest of their lives.

A single phrase to sum up Compaq - "the kiss of death"....
ahhh, the test of Linux loyalty, or for that matter open source loyalty. Not being a troll or flaming anything, it makes me wonder whether the MS upshots are more loyal than the majority of open source fanatics.

Software companies that go under (like Be) sell their assets, so they're not really "orphaned".
Uhh... Compaq ring any bells?

I reckon that's the same troll that keeps on saying that Linux/BSD/WhatEverOS is dead. A total Windows biggot IMO.
