My dad got asked this in an interview once, they told him that the correct answer was that manholes (or peopleholes, if you prefer) are round because the round shape can handle stress better than any other shape. I suppose stress being force on the road, and force in the ground were to shift in an earthquake.
But an application that polls a window to convert into an mpeg isn't necessarily for piracy, so I don't think could be considered illegal until used in an illegal fashion.
Just like decoding DVDs that you own so you can watch them under Linux, right?
Why do you want ALL distros to use it? I use debian because it is complete, yet minimally so. I want my configuration to be done with joe or vi, not pretty menus. This is good for a redhat or mandrake, distros that are geared towards n00bs.
Every time I let someone sit at my altar to use the internet, it never fails, the first comment is: "Hey, you know you could block that ad in opera real easy."
Sure I could, but I have no reason to. Its unobtrusive, and I don't mind making the Opera developers making a few cents off me.
Would I allow a full screen ad in my root window? No. Would I allow a small ad sitting on the desktop that would make debian a few bucks? Sure. I don't have lots of cash to donate to the projects I would like to financially support, but I do have eyes and an attention span (albeit a short one), and if I can put that to use to help advance OSS projects, that would be great in my book.
I frequented a mom and pop computer store for about 2 years, then worked at it for a year. They key is to preach the benefits of having a build-it-yourself computer rather than having a compaq or dell. There are people out there who already know to stay away from branded boxen, they will come to you for parts and possibly whole computers if they know you exist.
Repair work is a big money maker. I saw one poster say they charged $75 an hour, we charged $40. Whatever is competitive. Also, when we sold a complete machine, we gave the customer "one free fuckup." You break it, and we'll fix it for ya.
A lot of people will come to a mom and pop store because of the personal service they can get. We had a lot of old people buying their first computer, and they felt more comfortable around us (an 18 year old kid, a cigar smoking old guy, a middle aged family man, and a psych tech guy) than someone trying to sell them the latest and greatest computer just to do email their grandkids with.
One thing you need to watch out for is telephone calls from morons who think you exist only to answer their questions about software/hardware they bought from best buy. We'd tell em that we can't answer questions like that over the phone, but if they want to bring the box in, we can take a look at it- going rate is $40/hr.
Once I get it going, I'm going to GPL my efforts so all can have it!
Just imagine:/. will contain nothing but Karma-bots and stupid Macintosh users who argue with them.
And this is different from the present in what way?
I don't think the slashdot effect would trigger this device. HTTP requests, AFAIK, is sent via ONE packet- this device should be looking for hosts sending it many packets, like would occur in a DDOS attack.
The court also has barred the defendant from participating in advertising affiliate programs on the Internet, and has ordered him to give up more than $1.8 million in ill-gotten gains.
And they said you couldn't make any money on the internet...
I was trying to think of a good way to tie The Sims into SimCity, and I think you just figured out a really cool way... Minus the ants. MMORPG is the most interesting development in quite some time to happen to gaming, why not apply it here? To me, most games loose their fun after not too long because there is only so much you can do; with an online version of SimsCity or whatever it would never become boring.
I used GPSdrive for a long time, very good program.
As far as which GPS to use: any of them. All GPS's that I know of use the same standard to transmit data to a PC. It's called NMEA. Garmin makes a good GPS, it is what I used with GPSdrive. For a real good product, they are in the middle of the price curve.
If you are handy with electronics, you can make your own data link cable, there are instructons on the net.
This is where itll become offtopic, but if you are still trying to use the irock for stuff:
1) Use an AC adaptor: I soldered one on, it was a 3v cigarette lighter cord that came from a dead cell phone. Saves loads on batteries.
2) If you have problems with reception or anything, open the thing up and extend the antenna with a piece of wire. I planned on doing this, but I found that I don't even need to with my setup.
Radio shack used to carry only one FM transmitter, and it was the biggest piece of junk ever made, the employees stated 9 out of 10 of them got returned. Some radio shacks now carry a different FM transmitter called the "Irock". I decided to try it, and it works great for short ranges. It takes 2 AAA batteries, and costs about $30. It would probably work well for your purpose provided you don't want to go long range with these headphones. Come to think of it, I may try to do this...
Risk of injury just makes something all that more fun... If saw someone getting off a roller coaster, half conscious and puking their guts out, id head to that roller coaster next.

What about apt-get? I'm sure there are GUIs for it out there.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs dictates that if yer starving, you really don't give a shit about much else...

Ah, you make a good point. Damn my human-centric thinking...
What CAN'T pr0n accomplish?
Red green and blue were selected because they are the primary colors. Those colors can be combined to make any other color.

Will the website still be accessable by an IP address?

if its 3 volts, yup. soldering onto one of the terminals is a royal pain due to its location, but well worth it.

He says he wants to use his existing headphones, but you could easily modify this with a 1/8th female headphone jack from rat shack.

I seriously think I hit 2.5 vertical Gs and 1 horiz G occasionally during daily activities. How stupid.

Keep my highways the same speed or faster. Make other highways for morons that have this slower speed.
