Sure, you can find plenty of head units that support Mp3 Audio, my Alpine does that just fine (had i waited another two weeks i could of gotten one that supports DVD's and place 4 gigs of mp3's on a dvd instead:| )
You can find in dash head units that play Mp3s and have wireless LAN built in.
you can even find whole in car control centers that do everything you could possibly imagine in your car! http://www.drivesoft.net/
However none of these systems will work with linux without major hacking. Why? well for starters, of the entire audio industry, there are probably 12 people that would want 1) Ogg support, and 2)Wifi access and 3) Linux. So once again, if there is no market, there is no money and no reason to pursue that arena (at least for companies like Alpine).
So, as usual, it comes down to three choices.
Suck in your pride and use the Now until feature comes around.
Write/build/modify your own head unit.
Try to realize that there is simply NO reason that you NEED these features when there are existing head units out that have built in harddrives that can store 20gigs worth of mp3s, wma's, wavs, that in the end will be far cheaper than whatever it is you wanted to have. The only thing is they run Windows. BFD
well, we do a couple jobs in house that we use both Quark and Adobes Inproduction (w/acrobat 4.0).
But anyways, if your printer uses products from Creo, (i.e. Prinergy or Brisque) they'll be able to support anything you send them. Even.PRN files printed from windows apps. Well almost anything, they dont support importing PNG images:)
Be a freind and don't use DSC/2 though, they take forever to rip (from 10 minutes to an hour or so per file sometimes). PDF's rip (to CMYK seperations) pretty easily and very fast.
Not to troll (but will get modded as one), you say.
"What you're claiming is that since Wine implements the win32 api, it is there for bound by the Windows license, which is patently false"
I've heard many people talk about how if one was to write a tool/program that linked to a GPL'd library, that the tool/program in question is a derivitive work of the GPL Library and therefor MUST be GPL'd itself (the tool/program)
how is that any different than the claim the original poster made?
I would say that upwards of 90% of the magazines, books, and other printed materials use JPEG images in their books for ALL non-photographic images.
photographs are usually TIFF documents, but we've ran accross many customers who supply all of their graphics and photos as high-res JPEGs
Adobe lockin v.s. Quark? you obviously don't work in a printing house. Quark is basicly the only tool used in creating anything for print. Quark can create Adobe PDF Files without issues from any other software we use.
Now that i think about it, most of the software we use is based on Open standards from Adobe (Postscript, DSC(Document Structuring Convention), PDF, PJTF, JDF)

I sold computers (or tried, did it for beer money in school) for a while and many times someone would ask "now would i need to upgrade in a one year, two years?".
Our answer, as told to us by the vendors (HP and Compaq, among others) always said that the latest and greatest would be able to keep up with technology and in the future.
we always said that spending an extra $1000 now for the higher class machine would save you from spending $2000 next year for a faster machine, had you purchased the low end $500 machine. Which until recently was mostly true.
While Geeks, Nerds and Gamers look to buy the latest and greatest for Today and in 6 months spend another $2k on upgrades, Normal people are looking at long term investments. If they spend 3-4k on the fastest uber box, in 4 years will it still work just as good?
Of course, i sold computers at the end of 98 to mid 99.
ya, its raised by several structures with the train that spirals around the center support, but i didnt remember the actual name of the city, so floating city worked just as good:)
unlike Final Fantasy X, where the story continued after Sin was destroyed (As it always has for 10 years, but this time possibly longer?, but i'm sure there is more too it than FFX2), the ending of FF7 was the END OF the 'Human' existance!
For those that completed the game, when Cloud released Holy to destroy Meteor (after killin sepiroth with that kickass limitbreaker that did more damage than anything else in the game) , it was said elsewhere in the story that when Holy is unleashed, it will erradicate ANY AND ALL threats to the life force of the planet.
After the totally kickass CGI of holy doing its dirty, it goes black for a few seconds and then shows a world overgrown by nature 500 years into the future. If you look at it good enough, you'll see that the area that is overgrown is the old Shinra headquarters and that floating city that crashed to the ground. Mankind did not survive the fate of Holy, thus making a real sequel to this story not possible (or horribly fake).
If anything, i'd like to imagine that this isnt the story after the holy was unleashed and the meteor stopped and earth saved, but instead a whole other story that is going on at the same time with various characters, or even a backstory for Vincent.
I saw this and i thought of homestar and the homestarmy with a picture of a comando, Strong Sad and the popkorn machine..
just get some mechanical puppets and have them walkin around the front of your house saying things like "do you have the five bucks to join the homestarmy?" or "listen up maggots, do you have the fortitude to bring a sack lunch to defend your country?".
Not only would no one dare rob your house, but i think no one would dare ever come over again.
i had the same thing going on, i lived 3 miles from the switching station and got DSL. Didnt have to pay anything for it.
the TCOM act of 96 mandates that the Telco is responsable for ANY repairs on the network in the Local Loop. If you order the service, they cannot charge you for any problems that arise in the local loop in providing you that service. They can charge you for installing the DSL router in the house, hooking it up and whatnot but it most definitly would not be $1200. I would search the FCC rules and regs for exactly what the telco covers and what you are responsible for and call them back. You can also call your local PUC (Public Utilities Commision)
it is definitly NOT A god damned laptop interface.
What kind of moron would install an interface into their car that you would plug the laptop in at the headliner.
Seriously how-t-f are you sopposed to use the laptop??? looking straight up at the screen as it sits flush with the roof? look at it upside down?
Well, i guess the same kind of moron would think its a laptop interface that submits a Ask Slashdot with a link to geocities and the same kind of moron that posts this as news.
the problem is that the Red paint is a combination of Magenta and Yellow, Blue is a combination of Cyan and Magenta.
If you where to add equal parts of Red Yellow and Blue, you'd end up with
2 Parts Magenta 2 Parts Yellow 1 Part Cyan I'm not exactly what color that would be, kind of a redish brown. (100%M 100%Y 50%B 0%K or aprox 127R 0G 0B)
If you mixed 1 part of Magenta, Cyan and Yellow, you'd definitly have a dark brown/not quite black color. However, in RGB its 0R 0G 0B , but in print its not black. The Key Color (Black) isnt true Black either without at least %60C %40M and %40Y

RGB to become RGBCMY

Cyan is not the opposite of red, it is the Blue - (minus) Red channel, Magenta is Red - Green, Yellow is Blue - Green, Key (black) is Red-Green-Blue
you dont "mix" colors to get Cyan, or any of CMYK because CMYK is subtractive (RGB is additive).
You can say without fail that CMYK is the opposite of RGB though
why the f is this posted as news?? is this important?
I mean, can i post a news article about how KDE 4.5 will need GTK libs ??
How about this.. When the next kernel version 2.7 goes into development, it will require GCC 3.9, a p5 4.6ghz machine with at least 2gigs of ram and 4 gigs of free space for source and compile.
ya that'll make it to front page..

what would happen then is some powerful companies (Microsoft) would totally demolish small companies (*) because there would be no regulation.
I think you fail to understand what reasonably priced means in the car audio world.
example?
DVA-7996
is reasonably priced.
Hell, this head unit, is reasonably priced for what you get.
why?

ya, thats volumes though. i.e. a 1 terabyte /home
you can have a 10 terabyte array if you need too, and run redhat on it, but you'd have to have 10 partitions.
however i do see your point that it is pretty weak to have an enterprise class OS not be able to support >1TB filesystem
