You can run CL-Amp, which is a Winamp/XMMS clone or Soundplay. Mozilla is available. You would not be able to run CS. BeOS was typically oriented towards audio-production types of people in its heyday.
If you can get a copy of BeOS 5 (the one you pay for, not the X86-only free beer version) on eBay, there is a PPC version on there. No idea if it would work on an AmigaONE board, but worth a try.
Well, two people in my office (me + a secretary) would like to thank Jerry Pournelle for that feature! White text on blue is so much easier on the eyes.
From what I learned on the History Channel (or A&E?), there are many legends of great middle-eastern heroes who supposedly had no father and were born of virgins. Early Christians just borrowed the concept and applied it to Jesus.
Maybe you should get some fans together and petition a premium channel like HBO or Showtime to pick it up. Most of the series on those channels wouldn't last long on commercial "mainstream" (ie ignorant masses) TV, but they're perfect for smaller audiences willing to pay for quality.
To skip commercials in TiVo, just fast forward or turn on the 30 second skip function. A high speed fast forward (there are 3 speeds) whizzes over commercials in about 3-4 seconds and puts you at the beginning of a show's next segment. Or, buy a ReplayTV with automatic commercial skipping.
Unsuitable for consumption has nothing to do with personal preferences. It is a term that refers to products with characteristics or components that don't meet certain standards for safety. In other words, injury will (not may) occur if consumed. Although the coffee eventually cools down after time, MC_D admitted that it was unsuitable for consumption *when it was served.* It doesn't matter that some people prefer to drink it later on...clearly many other people prefer to have their drink shortly after being served.
Let's just ignore this whole left/right argument, because people on both sides say the same things about one another.
After reading the link, it is very evident that McDonalds knew they were selling a dangerously hot product. By their own admission, the coffee was "unsuitable for consumption" after being served due to its temperature.
The website cited a number of previous cases where individuals received third degree burns from the coffee by no fault of their own, such as: employees spilling it on customers and people having it spilled on them by others by accident, etc. In other words, there was a history of people being burned by the coffee under many differing circumstances.
In the case of the 79 year old woman who brought this whole issue into the spotlight, her reward was reduced *because of her own carelessness* in handling the cup while driving.
While customers may obviously demand hot coffee, no reasonable person should expect to receive third degree burns (skin being burned down to the muscle/fat layer!) from that coffee.
That's not how it works. The standard that is to be adhered to is the Redbook CD Audio Standard. Hardware manufacturers are living up to their end of the deal; it is the music publishers who are in violation.
That is because they have been instructed by Visa and Mastercard to *ignore* any special instructions you have added to the card. They're just following their contract with the card companies.

AFAIK, Mandrake SA is publicly traded in France. You can go to their website and look at their financial statements yourself.

Please don't use the term "steal Linux," as it implies that anyone who potentially downloads it is a thief. It is very insulting and moreover an incorrect term to use in this context. "Freeload" would be a more apppropriate term. Even then, the company knew what it was getting into when it decided to try and sell a product that could be given away freely, so a "freeloader" in the traditional sense it not necessarily abusing the system.
That said, I've purchased two Mandrake retail products (@ USD70 each) in the last couple years. I'm not very social and clubs are too touchy-feely for me.
A couple years. Web & email hosting, but mostly email (see valdot.org to see how far my site has come). Zero problems. However, after reading all these subsequent posts about their activities, it certainly makes me question whether I'd renew with them for another year.
Let's see...they put a lot of disparate resources all together in one place and they actually make a profit from doing it? Kind of like the people that sold all the supplies during the 19th century gold rush.
Pure BS. I'm the only one in my office using Office 97 while everyone else is on Office 2K or XP. There are *ZERO* compatability issues with the files. The only difference among the versions is spit & polish.
I went through that torture in the 7th grade when all my teachers were going through that fascination with "all whales all the time." I didn't realize Ben Afleck was in it until I heard it mentioned on Dateline NBC recently.

Even if you consider supplying the systems technically does cost Apple a couple grand, it's still an incredibly cheap cost for advertising!

BeOS is its own operating system. It literally almost became the basis for OS X, but they asked for too much $$$ from Apple and were turned down.

""On the molten, volcanic world of Sigma Vulcanus, Anakin Skywalker, a handsome, swarthy man with a dignified stature, makes an important discovery."
Wow. What a picture-perfect description of Hayden Christenson..."
Well, maybe that's *your* personal view of Hayden, but it seems like a pretty generic description of a handsome man.

Of course it is...he bought it so it's his. What, you don't believe in private property?
"OTOH if they had fought and been fined,"
Not everyone can afford to be a sacrificial lamb, especially single parents trying to feed and take care of their kids.
"However, I still appreciate the looks that I get walking to class with my 30GB; I sure wouldn't want to become just "one of the crowd""
They're probably sizing you up to see if they can beat the crap out of you and take your iPod.

This still does not excuse innocent bystanders who have been burned by the coffee and others who have had their coffee spilled on them by employees.

That probably includes the $CO licensing fee.
