Hopefully this will be a better release than 9 was, which should really have been called 8.5. Apart from the addition of the god-awful GNOME desktop, the best things in 9 were the improved hardware support. Other than that, I can't say I was much impressed.
Or you could carry on using the previous version, just like you're free to with Open Source. Open Source projects can change for the bad as well you know, just take a look at the mess the X Project has become.
In this situation, Linux/MPlayer would be *worse*, because it is not capabable of the requirements for the project. And until the OSS community wakes up and realises that it needs to cater to the needs of the world, and not just their hippy ideals, then it has no chance of being a success on the desktop.
I was actually waiting for the parent to reply, but my point was that they used WMP because they wanted to use DRM features, and I can see them coming soon in an mplayer near you....It believe it was an attempt score karma by whoring the L word.
Don't get me wrong on the linux bashing front - I use it daily, but it winds me up when zealots complain when it isn't used in every situation.
We're having this argument a few sub posts up... it's similar, but not actually perfect to the patented name.subdomain.domain one. Not that it makes it any better mind....
I just picked up a big Megablox SWAT set, on the basis that the nazi looking men with their missile truck just looked *so* cool. But there are some really really cool huge models of Megablox, like a battleship that's half the size of a small child with the side cut off (the ship that is, not the kid)....
erm... I hope you're not being serious... these addresses aren't actually routable to by the rest of the public IP range. Someone sat on 66.121.53.2 cannot connect to 10.0.0.1 unless it happens to be part of their internal network and the routing tables are set thus...
The current Hyundai Coupe in GB is an *amazing* car. Goes like a b*stard, has a wonderful gear shift, and the air con rocks as well, although it does drink a lot juice, and trying to overtake with full air con blowing is quite interesting. They're damn expensive though....
It's all to do with being a technology Prima Donna, and doing dangerous and exciting things, whilst having weird personality disorders. See 'The Dilbert Principle' by Scott Adams.
I bought a plastic kit from Tamiya. They're aren't quite the right model, but you can tailor them to look like yours quite easily. Mines an '87 Hurricane.
This is only cool because I'll never own a real V-Max. *sniff* My mate convinced my other half there really dangerous (in the cool way), and now she thinks I'll kill myself. So I have to stick to the CBR....

Erm.. hello? So information should be completely free then? No Copyright, no Data Protection etc etc??

It's not anti money and profit, it's the anti censorship/control. Wake up to the real world, most of us aren't hippies. But enough of this :)

And why's that then?
Just like the oh-so-amusing blue screen joke at the top, the linux geeks have to bounce up and down because someone chose not to use open source....
Wireless my friend, wireless. A microwave link goes over the 10s of kilometres at the lowest end, and the bandwidth is great.
That's Carte *Noir*, Carte Dor is Ice Cream :)
They used to have a 'Comment on this Article' feature which I was about to fill with an angry rant, but they appear to have pulled the feature....

nearly, the email part fits(embers-fire is the subdomain), but the web address doesn't.
So mines actually subdomain.domain & name@subdomain.domain....
erm... yes?
I was going to change it to Max Power, but I thought, what the hell...
Freeserve and Demon at the very least in the uk.... I got robb@embers-fire.freeserve.co.uk a long long time ago.....

Sitting in a CCNA class at this very minute I take issue with this, since BGP's are very much part of the syllabus thank you very much...
And it's configure *a* BGP...
Actually, that would be kind of cool. I'm always losing stuff...
PeopleFinder is on it's way then :)
