"Give me an online banking system with a good old fashioned username and password and I'm set."
In that case give Washington Mutual a try. I'm been using their online banking for several years now. All it asks for is a user name and password. Although if you get your password wrong 3 times it locks your account and you have to physically go to the bank to unlock it. Rather annoying but at least I know my account won't be brute forced. Their site even plays nice in Seamonkey/Firefox on Linux.
I've got an intersting queestion. Since these are music CD's it stands to reason that a good portion of them will be purchased by minors. (people under 18) Since minors can't legally agree to a contract or other legally binding agreement is the EULA enforcable if a minor buys the CD, puts it in there computer, and unknowingly hits "I agree."?
Is the EULA simply not enforcable or are they technically not allowed to play the CD by virtue of not being able to agree to the lisence?
Win2k has this feature as well. Hold shift while clicking the right mouse button on any program in the start menu or on the desktop and "Run as..." will be an option in the resulting menu. Enter the desired user name and password and your set.
P200? I'm running X 3.3.6, IceWM, Mozilla Firebird, Xmms, Abiword, ect... on a P120 Toshiba Tecra 500cdt laptop with 48 megs of ram and 96 megs swap running Vector Linux 3.2. Playing mp3/ogg files uses about 1/3 of the processor and page renders take a few seconds but its quite usable. At lest enough to post to/., do email, and act as an in car mp3/ogg player when on the go. These are all modern applications for a laptop and this old klunker does the job just fine.
Somehow I don't think a single mother of two living in puplic housing can afford a lawyer and the associated legal fees to fight something like this in court. Free public defenders are only apointed in criminal cases, not civil ones. And winning legal fees wouldn't help either, lawyers tend to ask for payment up front and don't take IOUs or credit.
If you can come up with an economical way to produce large amounts of power reliably and safely using only sunlight and/or wind you will be a rich man.
It really doesn't matter how many people they sue, they can never sue enough to have any significant impact on a network of millions of users. They fail to understand that it is totally impossible to enforce copyrights on the internet with any degree of real effectiveness. The reality of a medium of exchange where technical limitations and sheer numbers combine to make copyright inforcment impossible simply hasn't hit them yet. They're just flailing around like a pissed off little kid expecting the legal system to come and save them like an overprotective parent. The trouble is, this time the legal system can't really help them. The only thing it can do make it seem like they are making progress when nothing significant is really happening.
People don't commit crimes because they think its worth it. They commit crimes because they don't think they'll ever be caught. If you knew for certain you were going to get caught and executed if you killed somebody you wouldn't do it. If you were pretty sure you wouldn't get caught at all, you might go and do it. By the way, Texas, or at least Harris County, (where I live) doesn't hang anyone, its all done with lethal injection.
Ahh but acording to SCO they own Linux, or at least substatnial portions of it. Ergo they are liable no matter what the terrorists use. Ooo I love the irony!
Actually I've run into the same problem under Win2k. Unreal Tournament hangs for a second or so about every 10 minutes but then returns to normal. Serious Sam 2 freezes after about 3 minutes and takes the whole system down with it. I think its a driver issue for several reasons. First under Win2k/XP its awfully darn hard for a program running in user space to take down the system, although a crappy driver can do it fairly easily. And I never had any problems until I started using the detonator 40s.

Works in IE 5.5 too.
Since they stack I'd say the Pentium^3 would be a more accurate description.
Just because they can't uniqely identify your person doesn't mean they can't uniqauely identify your machine. They are two very different things.
It seems like people just do this because THEY CAN...
Umm... yeah, very astute observation there. Thats why hackers do anything really...
and are not asking whether they SHOULD be doing this?
What other reason do they need besides the fact that they can? Why do people climb mount everest, because its there.
You cant put a price on our childrens future.
;)
We don't need to, they'll do that for us.
Hold one hell of a party...

I dunno man... I was being totally serious...
At either the voter registration office or your local gun range. Depending on how much patience and faith in the system you have.

Check the trillian fourms. AOL tried this sort of thing before and failed. The trillian guys just patched to keep up.
Dude, my mom plays Diablo 2 more than my brother or I ever did.

Should take care of the problem with that French site.
