Is a bombardment of advertisements as you pass by McDonalds, Walmart, etc. I seem to recall reading about bilboard signs that beam you more advertisement related information such as the contact numbers/address/directions of the place being advertised.

Yeah, I found the dates very interesting myself. A huge number of the EW picked top 25 were from 1993. A good handful were from 92 and 94, with only 1 from 95... was 95 that bad a season? They picked a few from 96 and 97, and then only 1 after that I think.
Wow - those fonts are gourgeous. Can someone please tell me how to get fonts like that in Linux? Do they come with GNOME 2.2? I continually have problems with hideously ugly fonts. If my desktop looked like that I'd never boot into Windows!
My BIOS says it supports booting from a USB key and my USB key says it is bootable - but I tried doing it and the comptuer just seemed to infinitely loop on startup. The problem may be that I don't know how to make a good boot disk for XP - I find it ridiculously hard. The format as System disk thing in Explorer never seems to work for me (even with floppies). I realize I'm making myself look retarded here, but how DO you make a good boot floppy/USB key for 2000/XP? I've never had much of a problem under 95/Mac/Linux
So if no one hacks into your unsecure server, then your server is actually secure? Interesting viewpoint. That's sort of like if a tree falls in the forest....
You could add the few lacking things from the iPod firmware such as on-the-fly creation of playlists, more PC friendly database/naming convention. You could implement a better shuffle (does anyone else find the iPod's shuffle is not very random?)
You could play Ogg! (It already does at 80% realtime)
You could also do some very slick stuff with the TCP/IP stack. i.e. configure it from a web browser or something. (Unfortunately you'd need a long Firewire cable)
I recommend they emulate the existing interface, it's quick slick. But it would be fun to experiment with other things such as circular menus that you select by scrolling around circularly.
All in all, it's damn cool with a lot of possibilities.
This may come as a suprise to you, but there are people in the world who want to kill you and me just out of spite. We who sit around on Saturday mornings sipping tasty caffienated beverages sometimes have a hard time relating to those in the 3rd world raised in highly religious environments where they are taught that all their problems are because of us, and the only way to fix it is with an AK or a suicide bomb.>
Interesting, I had a discussion about this yesterday at lunch. I think that is an extremely ethnocentric viewpoint. You make it sound like you (your government) isn't at all responsible for this, and it's purely due to their psycho religion. Here is a thought - how different are we from those people?
Here is the scenario that was described to me. You are Iraqi and have 7 kids. One of your kids gets sick. You go the hospital, but they won't give you any antibiotics because they are sanctioned off. They tell you your kid has a viral infection, they'll be fine. You go home... the kid dies. People in your family are getting sick and the hospital can't help them. More of your kids die. Other people's kids are dying. Eventually this builds up in your head that
this is the fault of the Americans - they are sanctioning you off. At what point do you snap? At what point do you not see any other way out?
Linksys has similarly easy password in their Gateways/Routers/Firewalls. No username and password is "admin". These routers are configurable remotely too - thank god that feature is off by default. I seem to recall them having a serious overflow bug too that would allow exploitation anyway.
Actually, if Steve Jobs ran Ellison would definitely run. Apparently SJ is his idol, not BG. He's got a movie star appeal whereas BG is ultra-rich turbo nerd. Ellison has the money, he wants the fame. I believe I read this in Insanely Great...
PowerPCs are much more popular in embedded applications. Everyone else pointed out the power issue. Another thing I can think of is that PowerPC assembly (RISC) is much nicer than x86. (That is a personal opinion, but it's similar to the opinion that the Raiders are better than the Bengals.)
I just released a free public beta of iCommune, a plug-in for iTunes that enables music sharing over the network. Your friends' music libraries appear in the iTunes source list. You can browse their collections, and choose to download or stream their music. It also allows you to make your own music library available to others.
However I do agree that this isn't about P2P either.
[You cannot]: Prevent someone who has acquired the software by copying it from their friends from passing it along as well, including posting it on a website for free (as in beer) download, or even charging a fee themselves!
Now that is interesting. That leads to my original point which I poorly communicated - when you sell Free Software (as in GNU) users have the right to legally get that software for free-as-in-beer. (By means of purchasing it originally, then posting it on a website for free.) Isn't this a serious flaw in the business model?
Ahh, so it's only for people that they distribute their work to? I didn't realize that at all. That's a much different scenario. So they can charge $1000 and only include the source in that $1000 package?
But I guess you can't do that in the real-world, because someone would buy your software and re-release it free-as-in-beer, which they would be legally entitled to do.

See? hehe
Well, it's Sorenson's codec, not Apple's. If you don't QuickTime player but just the codec, go bug Sorenson.

Ahaha, beautiful pun.

Or what if, say, 34 people were killed in a Zimbabwe train accident? Which would get more coverage and why?
What the hell are you smoking! Why would they "subpoenia" [sic] him? Last time I checked, not accepting kernel patches wasn't illegal.
It did look like it was highly supportive of the Raiders. I'm drooling. Despite her obvious lip synching.

Not to troll or anything but just some thoughts.

See here. But then again, it's probably Wired's.
At least he's a smart prick, unlike Dubya.

Oh man, I thought you were gonna get torched for this post WAY more than you have been. It is wrong in several ways and really quite amusing.
Yes. At the time I read this, it's the only post modded higher than yours.
