That's what USPS Form 1500, Application for Listing & Prohibitory Order (pdf), is for.
Maybe not. The application states:
"The attached mailpiece, from the mailer identified below, offers for sale matter that I believe to be erotically arousing or sexually provocative and therefore is a pandering advertisement. Under the provisions of 39 USC 3008, I request that a Prohibitory Order be issued against the mailer and the mailer's agents or assigns."
Unless you use the AOL CD as an artificial vagina, you won't get far with that application.
There is already an installer which fetches everything from the nightly trunk. It's not an official release. I do NOT recommend it since 0.6 got released. It *might* break some of the application associations when you decide to uninstall it for whatever reason.
Here's the registry entry. Create a Firebird.reg file, copy the follwing entries there and double click it. It should make Firebird visible to scores of applications, not limited only to Flash.
"KEANU Reeves turned his moribund career around by taking the part of Neo. But it could have been a lot different. Ewan McGregor and Will Smith both turned down the part before the Speed star snapped it up."
Imagine Will Smith getting Neo's role then doing the soundtrack to Matrix. That would have been a disaster of Battlefield Earth meets Wild Wild West proportions.
Can you imagine the famous Hallway Shootout sequence and Will Smith rapping in the background?
No there isn't. It's not in-dash as I specifically stated. It uses FM as I specifically stated I did not want. It has a wire plugged into the cigarette lighter: ugh. Stop wasting my time.
Wow. You're a goddamn retard. I tried to contribute to the discussion and you turn around and get all hostile? Calm down, nerd.
Let me break your description down and show you how much of an utter moron you are.
I wish Apple would partner with somebody to make an in-dash unit into which you'd insert an iPod (almost like inserting a casette). The iPod would then be controlled via a panel on the in-dash unit and would receive power from the car's power system.
1. In dash or firmly attached to dashboard aren't really far off. 2. Who the fuck, besides bearded fags like yourself, would replace his in-dash stereo with a proprietary iPod player? You're halucinaing, if you think there is a market for such an 'invention'.
Yes, I am aware of those things that allow you to broadcast iPod output on an FM frerquency, but (1) they're awkward and bring back bad memories of CD/cassette adapters with wires all over the place, and (2) they don't work very well from most accounts I've read.
No, you're not aware of them. TransPod has a clear signal (unlike iRock, Belkin and few other flavors of FM transmitters on the market today), and there is absolutely no wire clutter. The iPod goes directly in and it recharges/plays at the same time, while letting you keep the the in-dash player for other MAINSTREAM media.
Secondly, you heard wrong. Maybe try to use it before spewing stupid opinion pieces about technology you don't have a fucking clue about.
I usually don't insult people, but you're an exception. If I were you, I'd work on my people skills, learn some fucking humility and find a way to appreciate other people's input, rather than insult them over something so insignificant. iPod in-dash player should be the least of your concerns.
I submited the article under "Linux" topic, because essentially this was about Linux. Sadly, there are no Database, Oracle, or Prediction topics available on/.
I would personally love to see a Larry Ellison icon implemented for articles in the future.

TiVo++ from India
·
· Score: 5, Insightful
I mean, the development of these type of technology used to be the patrimony of the US. Later on, it shifted to Far East (Japan) and now we see really cool gadgets being developed in India.
Do you seriously think that US companies could not have invented a convergence box like the one above? Absolutely not. Afterall, US perfected the use of TiVos and other flavors of PVRs, which got hacked and modified initially. Then if you remember, TiVo bent under the Advertising Corporations' pressure and went from a hacker-friendly box preducer to an essentially a closed, DRM device producer with Series 2. You can't easily hack it anymore to fetch the data, modify software, etc.
So this move from lobbies and corporations who felt that TiVo was cutting into their advertising pie, seriously hampered the ability of producers to put out better, cheaper, open devices. No one is willing to give market something which would be designated to please both the population and the corporate entities who feel they're getting ripped off (For the record, I believe these allegations hold no ground). There are no companies dumb enough to go against already-established PVR makers, additionally opening second and third fronts with DVD and console producers in the competition department. MPAA, RIAA, DMCA and other 4-letter evils will rain down on this producer till they crack under pressure.
So yeah. You should first and formost blame the corporate forces for slowing down technology for the sake of few millions in advertising revenue.
Listen to *one* Britney Spears track out of curiosity...[]
What in the hell are you doing listening to Britney in the first place? It's like saying "I found this virus and decided to infect few of my computers.. you know, out of curiousity"
No wonder I totally wrecked my island. I didn't take time to pay attention to such small details. The damn cow wouldn't grow, it kept whining all the time and demanding food. Then that Godzilla character came in, there was this bunny who struck the frikkin cow with lightning.. and all hell broke lose. I remember drowning couple of people, and after that a tornado sucked me in... at that point, I just gave up on it and uninstalled it.
I didn't bother with Creature Isle Explansion, because I absolutely suck at that game.
Maybe I should re-install it sometime and give it another shot. I spent well over $60 bucks on both B&W and CI expansion.
..but wouldn't this be more suited for [H]ardOCP folk? Slashdot crowd's needs are different. Hear me out.
Create a gameshow called IT Storage Wars.

This article was great. It should have been enclosed in visible tags to help you understand that it was a joke.
It's a pretty entertaining read, I must say. Suble humor at its best.
Actually, it's apparent that Microsoft is trying to put on some kind of a concert based on the names of programming languages.
They're trying to prevent stuff like this!
Maybe not. The application states:
"The attached mailpiece, from the mailer identified below, offers for sale matter that I believe to be erotically arousing or sexually provocative and therefore is a pandering advertisement. Under the provisions of 39 USC 3008, I request that a Prohibitory Order be issued against the mailer and the mailer's agents or assigns."

let this speak for itself:
#1) Usenet was mentioned
#2) It's a humor article, not an official document
#3) Dates are made up for most part, because *gasp* see #2
Thank you. Come again.

Otherwise it's an excellent start. Sooner or later, they'll roll this into the official releases.
There is also AirPort base station, which employs an AMD MIPS processor

XviD is licensed under GNU GPL. Open source as it gets.
As for Theora, it's not even half done.
in our defense, at least our laptops are thinner.
I know this is offtopic, but I am currently drinking ice cold carrot juice. It's really good stuff.
Just thought I'd mention that.
My exact thoughts. I would pay to see Linus and Bruce Perens pedaling a giant penguin built on a bicycle for two.
They need to make Tux Racer into a movie.
Now that's something I'd pay to see.
Disney, I'm looking at _you_.

There is one already.
It's called TransPod
