I know this is prolly redundant, but thought i'd add my two eurocents anyways:P
First off, that is horrible. I don't mean the fact that they kept billing (that could just be a glitch) but that they're now being assholes about this.
Sad thing is, it doesn't seem to be that uncommon. My parents had a similar problem with their cell provider, where they just would _not_ admit that the problem was down their end, or pay back. It took months to sort it out...
Also (and I know this going very far OT but, heh) this just isn't that uncommon in retail/services in general, speaking as someone who as worked in retail for both 'mom and pop' and 'the man' companies, both these kinds will rip you off as much as possible. And I have worked in shops going from lighting to computers. It really is a shame. After a while, I just got so dis-illusioned I had to quit retail.
But anyway, enough of this rant. In conclusion, again, this is just my 2 eurocents...
If you had actually read anything about it, you'd know that they don't really have any proof, this is all just speculation and accusations. Dimitri Skylarov is an entirely different matter.
Actually, I saw this thing a few months ago on BBC World a while back, and it was pretty cool. As in, it looked like a quality toy cool, not "it really looked like R2 and the bleeps were just like in the movie @#@#@#@#" cool. But of course, that's just my opinion...
There is a feature which allows you, in certain games, to drop off your tv-screen and carry on playing on the GBA. But as far as i can tell, there are no games coming out anytime soon that will support it.

Cus they're slow? ;)
Honestly I wouldn't know. I was just trying to make the point that X (a GUI) is not the "be all and end" of *N*X (an OS)
Please note that no X users does _not_ equal no users at all. As has already been pointed out, some people never use X on some boxes

Not to nitpick, but would that be a sequal or a sequel?

If you're _that_ poor, how can you afford a decent, relatively modern pc to use all this software you're getting down your broadband connection?
Is it just me or is this a very odd analogy for the RIAA poisoning P2P networks?
If it is, nice piece of sarcasm indeed =)
Personelly, I haven't used WinMX or Kazaa Lite or anythin else since I found Soulseek. No spy/ad-ware and lots of good stuff :)

It's not exactly IIRC if you have a link to it =P
