Does anyone know if I can use the Boxee Box as a torrent seedbox? It'd be nice to have it download torrents and let me powerdown my laptop overnight. I'd also like to use it as a NAS so I can plug in a couple of 1TB drives and access the media from my laptop and maybe even an Apple Airplay device.
I don't live in the middle of nowhere, I live in a small college town with a population of 113,000. We used to sorta get 8 or 9 channels but since the switch-over we're down to 2 channels. The signals from Atlanta don't reach us unless I bought a fancy attic antennae.
Now, instead of watching OTA TV we turn on the Boxee and watch whatever I've downloaded.
Can anyone confirm that this is a company-wide service? Personally I think an employee at a single Circuit City convinced the store manager that this would be a good way to bring in some extra money.
My reasoning behind this is that the flier doesn't look professional and there is no way Circuit City's lawyers would allow for this service.
If I were that store manager, I'd be looking for a new job now.

Come on people, how is it possible that we have gone this far into a thread without someone mentioning Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086999/)
It shipped with MS-DOS 6.2 and 6.22. I remember it looked a lot like an early BSOD as it scanned for viruses I might have recieved while downloaded a registered copy of Scorched Earth from a BBS.
Personally, I'm still holding onto my GBA SP for travel. Its small, nice battery life, backlit for redeye flights.
I bought a 512MB GBA Flash Advance cartridge from http://www.easybuy2000.com/ so I can load the emulators from http://www.zophar.net/consoles/gameboy.html and play classic gaming on the go. The 512MB card holds every NES game I own, plus a few of my GBA cartridges. This makes it very easy to travel, its an all in one unit. No loose games to loose.
I couple that with a PDA screen protector on the GBA SP screen. The GBA closes to protect the screen, but I had some old protectors laying around and they work great for this. Just cut them to size. You could do the same thing with the DS; if you don't have any, look on ebay for a discontinued PDA's protectors. You pay more in shipping then the actual item, but its still less than $5.
Because its something new and I imagine it will be usefull someday.
Windows 1.0 was buggy and not very usefull at the time, but it spawned what is the most used operating system on the market these days.
I used Sphere XP like I used Windows 3.11. A new technology that is fun to play with, but it is not quite there yet. Just something to look forward with.
If anyone wants to try a 3D UI plugin for Windows XP, I reccomend Sphere XP http://www.hamar.sk/sphere/ I have not used it in months, but it was fun to play around with. Not the most useful thing, but it shows where the future is headed.

I got a reply from someone at Boxee R&D. "You will be able to share a storage device that is connected to it via samba."

I'd setup an ING Direct or Emigrant Direct savings account. No risk, and you earn 4.35% or 5% depending on which one you choose.
Emigrant gives you more, but ING gives you $25 if you're referred and $10 for each person you refer.
Not to be a whore, but if you go this route I'd like the $10 for referring you. Otherwise go with Emigrant.
What are you talking about?

I think you would be interested in Start1 or Start2
Its put out by Microsoft, but you don't sign up for an account. Its beta, so odds are that will change.
It supports uploading OPML files so you can export your existing feeds and upload them to the website.
Heres a good writeup about it.

That is incorrect. I bought 10 prepaid http://www.simongiftcard.com/ and paid cash for them. The kid behind the counter only asked for my zipcode.
Anyone else getting a card? I suggest going in person and picking one up.
Sounds like you need Streamsicle.
Its open source, runs on Win32 or Linux, and is still being devoloped.

Download Adobe's SVG Viewer here: http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/magic/svgviewe r/win/3.x/3.02/en/SVGView.exe
I could not get it work in Firefox, even with the plugin, but IE works fine.
