My choice would be PS2. I enjoy playing console games sitting in my couch, and preferably together with some friends. There's Q3 and Enemy Territory for Linux when I need my FPS fix or online play.
What we need is some form of computer driving-license. A mandatory test and a practical exam before you're allowed on a public network. It makes perfect sense.
However, I still think Microsoft doing this is like Panasonic creating a phone that only accepts calls from other Panasonic phones.
Exactly. What surprised me the other day was when I purchased a digital cordless handset from Siemens that without hitches worked with my Ericsson base-unit. That's interoperability the computer world doesn't have. Oh, the Ericsson handset also worked with the Siemens base-unit.
I would be glad helping out sending letters to politicians or informing peers. A page with well-articulated arguments against this law would help me in my letter-writing.
I have thoughts scribbled in text-files, but they need more substance.
In Sweden we have something called "jiffypåsar", jiffy-bags (translated). They come in various sizes (Letter size is most common) and have soft walls to protect contents. I'm sure they exist everywhere, but perhaps with different names?

Netscape 7.1 Released

Unreleased? If it's on the public server for all to see, then I'd say that it is released.
I was introduced to Linux far to early on in my life. I was young and running a turbocharged 166MHz when a friend brought over this Red Hat thingy. Installation went ok, but we could not get the modem to work. I never considered actually using Linux at that time, and my modem not working made me delete the partition and stick to Windows.
Later on I tried using Mandrake on an off, it was perhaps version 7 or 8? I don't remember really.
Anyway, about a year and a half ago I started using Mozilla full time and became aware of open source and it's principles. It was of course intriguing and all, and I became aware of other open source projects.
In December 2002 I began using Mandrake 9 full time, reverted to using Windows again after one month.
The experience left a mark, it's like tasting coffee for the first time. Even if you didn't like it the first time you end up loving it after a while.
I have now used SuSE full time for a few months and I keep a windows-partition that is rarely accessed (the only app installed over a base install is mozilla;).
I'm pretty quick most of the time, except when I rebooted the ATM.
The machine took my card and went BSOD, so I just whacked a lot of buttons at the same time. This apparently made the machine reboot and spit out my card.
The ATM (SEB, Sweden) was a 233MHz P2 with 256MB RAM running Windows NT 4.0 btw. It took a looooooooong time to boot, starting about 20 pieces of security/encryption software.
"It should only take 5 seconds of music from a passing car to share a good vibe through music."
That's like saying a good book should be instantly appreciated after reading only one sentence.
Don't ge me wrong, some songs work like this and others don't. I tend to enjoy the others. People are different.
An example is a long trance track, I tend to enjoy those that build to a climax, or breakpoint. Those can't be appreciated in portions. Comparable to thematic classical pieces by Vivaldi.
And I wouldn't dare to listen to just one track from Tubular Bells {I,II}
I hear ya, and what's with that pinging sound when an elevator arrives?? I think I've knocked about ten people over reaching for my phone, thinking it was an SMS.
You mean like Microsoft's Next Generation Secure Whatever?
Hmm, when it comes to computer people seem more than happy to put their trust in a large corporation with questionable ethics.
I wouldn't be surprised if people saw the good things that this might bring and completely ignored the drawbacks and the fact that it's at ticking bomb waiting to go off.

And now they're based on New Technology Technology too.

Besides, i did have a look a few weeks ago. It was big bloatware. What happened to mean and lean anyway?
Well, there's firebird. I've been happy ignoring IE for the past 2 years or so.
There's a patch for that you know, available here.
Because it's a search engine. They can thus control the flow of information.
It gives me what I need with the least amount of effort on my part.
*cough*
You did at some point have to learn to use MS Windows right? I highly doubt you just knew how to operate it.
However, I still think Microsoft doing this is like Panasonic creating a phone that only accepts calls from other Panasonic phones.

Really?
Let me enlighten you. Here in Sweden the SEB ATMs run Windows NT4. I actually made one go BSOD on me when trying to withdraw some money.
Play Enemy Territory instead, OpenGL Linux native binaries. Gratis! (as in beer)
My browser settings permit cookies, if that isn't an agreement then I don't know what is.
I will not rewrite my website, so put me in jail! I dare ya!
Actually, I'd love to see how this acts out in court. It seems to me like the browser prefs. argument is valid.
We would all be in jail, naturally.
You're right, they don't work just as well, they work "good enough". Exactly the argument used by countless IE drones out there.
A P2P network eh? Now what are the xxAA going to bash, when they can't claim P2P is evil?

I don't think so.

jEdit would be the tool for you. Plain and simple at first glance, install some plugins and it will blow you away.

How would you feel if someone in desperation claimed that you stole their idea?
How does someone steal my "IP", anyway? Do they go into my brain and take some of my braincells?
Knowledge can not be stolen, it can be gained and used.
