Howtos are on the site. You flash the bootloader (using a tool they provide), then extract the daily-built rar file to your iPod (which you have to have formatted and enabled for Windows USB Mass-Storage compatibility). Then, just start copying your music to your iPod/harddrive in whatever format/directory structure you want. AAC, MP3, FLAC, OGG, etc, all supported
with 3 monitors, 1 PC, the phone, and a shredder each needing a receptacle, available outlets are limited. I've asked about adding an additional power bar/splitter but it's been rejected.
I think it's more like E.C. in a more recent episode where he acted like Dog, the bounty hunter...

In my company (as mandated by third-party security firms, provided ever-so-kindly by our clients) the USB ports are disabled in BIOS, and the PCs have no floppy or CD-ROM.
It's not that I wanted to download our company's work, I just wanted a place to dock my iPod for charging so I can listen to it throughout the day.
Gnupod, AmaroK, WinAMP, etc
Many players now have (at least basic, but in the case of WinAMP quite advanced) iPod support.
Install RockBox (www.rockbox.org) on it, and you can play all those files you mentioned, fully accessible by your local-generic-fat32-over-usb volume manager (read: linux, osx, win*, etc)
No databases to update, no wierd filenames. Just your music, copied directly over USB to external USB Mass-Storage
Plus, Rockbox plays Doom (get your own WAD)
No, he's willing to pay $35 but the seller currently wants $15.
He tells a proxy that he's willing to bid up to $35, and, now that there's interest, the seller ups the price $30.
"Now that I know you want it, I'll charge you more" is blatant fraud
If you're going try to 'sell' me 1/3 the game (or less), knowing fully that you're not providing a complete game, then I'm going to try to 'ignore' you.
Honestly, though, it would be nice if they'd go back to the distribution model used back in the days of disks, i.e. I can download (or buy for the cost of the media+distribution/shipping) episode 1 of the game, and later episodes are what will cost me. In that respect, episode 1 should only cost me at most $5.00, be freely available online, and be fully playable with all features (i.e. not crippleware). Episode 2-n I'd pay for, if I liked episode 1.
You want to lessen* the amount of piracy online? Adopt the above methods.
* You'll never get rid of piracy altogether, but many pirate just to try the game out in a fully-playable way then decide if we want to buy or not
These 'Tech Demos' and 30-second trailers, while nice and all, offer none of the 'playtesting' that Wolf3d, Doom, the Commander Keen games, etc provided freely in their shareware versions.

Ned Flanders: FTTN Network!
Lyle Lanley: What's it called?

Lyle Lanley: That's right! FTTN Network!
[crowd chants `FTTN Network' softly and rhythmically]
Miss Hoover: I hear those things are awfully loud...
Lyle Lanley: It glides as softly as a cloud.
Apu: Is there a chance the track could bend?
Lyle Lanley: Not on your life, my Hindu friend.
Barney: What about us brain-dead slobs?
Lyle Lanley: You'll all be given cushy jobs.
Abe: Were you sent here by the devil?
Lyle Lanley: No, good sir, I'm on the level.
Wiggum: The ring came off my pudding can.
Lyle Lanley: Take my pen knife, my good man.
I swear it's Springfield's only choice...

My OP, 'Rob the Bold', was making a crack at his parent, jrwr00, in that jrwr00 didn't get the joke, as in it went 'over his head'. He included a python reference.
My joke apparently went over your head, as I was joking about joking about someone who didn't get the joke...
Whether the two European swallows were carrying the joke on a string (regardless of how they are assumed to carry a coconut in the movie) is irrelevant.
Nintendo produced some cool kit hasn't ticked anyone off lately.
Other than people who soaked themselves in astroglide then threw their Wiimote through their TV, window, or friends head... no... noone ticked off at all.
Granted, those things are more funny (hilariously so, at that), but there's still a bit of bad press
Could you fit voice recognition software on a phone that already has the capabilities to take pictures, video, recording, play music, etc.?
Most modern phones already have VR...
"Call [insert GFs name]"
"Camera"
"Dial #######"
These commands (and more) are standard for many phones.
you don't wanna RL-Home Run Bat your buddy with a Wiimote... (ouch)
You sure about that? For years my friends have dominated me in Smash Bros. (both SSB and SSBM) because they got to play it a lot more than I did.
I usually hit them physically (all in good fun, they would do the same to me when I schooled them in Soul Calibur or Mortal Kombat). They would hit me back, and we'd get into a good ol' fist-fight (between friends, its not so bad as it sounds).
At least this way, I can make it look like an accident ("Sorry, slipped"), so that when they 'retaliate', I can blame the whole fight on them, as they threw the first punch... hehe...
Now, if only the nunchuck will stand up to being in my fist when I beat them...
It's entirely legal, and, in fact, encouraged (as you now don't have to put an unpatched version of Windows out on the net anymore, not that you should be doing it withouth a firewall to begin with).
now that 360's are going to get HD players there will be two options for distribution.
The HD player only plays HD-DVD movies. As it is essentially an HD-DVD drive connected via USB2 to the 360, MS wouldn't be able to (realistically) enforce their DRM and copy-protection in the games.
Games still will come only on DVD and play through the normal slot.

Neither, then, are the people who, acting under God's (Allah's, Buddah's, Cthulu's, Ghandi's) command, deliver these opther packages which are, in and of themselves, nothing more than a vast source of energy.
The recipients should be happy that these people are giving them so much free energy, what with the price of oil these days.
Here's a question I've sometimes considered: Does any measurement of a natural phenomenon equal or exceed a googolplex?
That all depends on your perspective, or unit of measurement.
If you're measuring by hundredths of trillions of the width of an electron, then the scale of the universe goes from really really big to downright gigantic.

No, I don believe he sincerely meant fork them. He would rather split them in two, than split into them.

1. Take an existing technology
2. Adapt it for use in health care.
3. Profit!

Windows XP? I'm still waiting for a compelling reason to upgrade my Windows development box from 2K Pro. Let me know if you spot one.
CnC95 (Command and Conquer, upgraded from DOS to Win95 App) doesn't play nicely with 2k, but plays fine in Win95 Emulation on XP.
Yeah, everyone knows the pirated windows CDs work much better!
It doesn't have to be pirated.
