If I buy a DVD, I physically own the media that it is printed on. Weather I throw it off a cliff, wear it as a hat or shoot a L.A.S.E.R. at it to read the bits is none of anyone elses biznatch.
If you had the gun that shot someone, they are allowed to get a warrant to collect that for fingerprinting. How is a video different than a fingerprint. It's still evidence.
I think it would be more like the police taking your wallet, photo albums, tax returns, personal letters, and a filing cabinet full of other personal information and belongings so that they can finger print your gun.
Make an HTML document with all the bookmarks that you want to keep. You can organize this in an outline format so it's easy to navigate to the bookmark you want.
You can burn this onto a credit card sized CD and keep it with you all the time. You can also burn some images and stuff on it. The only problem is that you can't really update this easily.
You can also take this HTML document and copy it to a floppy disc. This way you can update it at any time.
I know that this doesn't solve the problem of having to reinput your bookmarks every time you reformat your computer or whatever, but it is an easy solution.
This has been going on in New Jersey for the last year.
I'm sure that refitting phones would suck, but maybe we should consider more than just the near future and start using a base system higher than ten. 10^10 gives 10,000,000,000 unique numbers whereas 16^10 gives 1,099,510,000,000. Each person on earth can have 183 phone numbers if they want.
I know that it would be quite a task to change around the whole system. However, as the population increases and third world nations emerge into a more tech endowed world the demand for phone numbers will increase rapidly.
I'd much rather remember a girl's ten letters and digits than a twenty character long string of numbers.
1. Can your computer play MP3's on your stereo in the living room, which just happens to be hooked up to your TiVo?
Yes. I use a Y-splitter to send the audio output of my computer to my computer speakers as well as my stereo.
2. Can your computer display photos on your big TV in the living room for the entire family to see?
Yes. I use the 'video out' of my video card to send the video signal to my television.
I do both of these things to I can, watch DVDs, have a picture slidshow, listen to music, and sometimes play video games (with the help of a controller).
Having some of these features might be good if one does not have a computer, however, with a computer and some RCA cables one can do all of this for a one time fee of about $30.
How about we use glass doors on our refrigerators, the kind that have two panes and a vacume betweem them. This way we wouldnt have to open the door so much. Duh!

Here are a few ideas that would make this device better:
- Switch the locations of the speaker and microphone. This would allow some sort of CF mobile phone module to be used with this device without having to flip it over.
- SD/MMC slot to be used for RAM expansion. 64M is just not enough.
- They should remove that internal ROM and include a second CF slot, possibly an internal one. 48M is not enough memory. I would love to throw a IBM microdrive in there. I realize that there is already a CF slot that I should be able to put a microdrive in, but what if I want to download files to it?
This device is pretty good. Taking into consideration that it is their first such device, they have done a excellent overall job in its designe. I hope I get one this X-Mas
Try GNUCash. It comes with most distros, its open source, and it is probably the best accounting software I have used. GNUCash is arguably as good as Quicken.
Don't worry about being tracked. If you want to mask your car you can keep a small, fluctuating elecrto-magnet in your trunk. Maybe even running a variable current through your can will help.
Relax guys, there are bigger matters that deserve attention. For example the Redskins' cheerleaders. Carla went to my highschool!
Remember the kid in school that would always say, "My ball, my rules"?
Take note that Linus decided to remind us nine times that it is his tree.
I am a big fan of Linux, but not so much of Linus. The way he wrote that letter made him seem a bit childish.
I just wanted to get my thoughts out there. There is no need to mod me down.
Hopefully it could also be used in satalites. I always hear about the extreme temperature differences between the side that faces the sun and the other side.
You can get one quality computer and then get several old 486's donated for free. You can have the 486's rebotly boot from the main server (the quality PC). Check out this site. These people make a version of Redhat that is specific for this purpose.
Also, check out LTSP.org.

...to have a location like a convention center or something where people can talk about whatever they like or specfically hacking? No.
Would it be illegal for this convention to charge an enterance fee? No.
Would it be illegal for the convention to charge companies a fee to advertise on it's walls? No.
Can an American company tell a Canadian convention center what it can or can not do? No.
The question then remains; does it matter weather this locations is physical?

I see that it sets my score to 1 rather than the normal 2 that I get. That shucked.
This is a test to see what the "No Score +1 Bonus" check box does.
