I occasionally do this, but: a) I don't want to look like a serious geek on the train b) I don't want someone to steal my iPAQ [1]
tip: encode into xvid at a low bit rate - you'll never notice the difference on a PDA screen.

The 28Khz sample rate could be increased on later (AGA) Amigas, IIRC it was based on the screen mode you was currently using. I know it's cheap hardware but the Amiga did have a nice sound.
The U.S. classifies the prisoners held at Camp Delta and Camp Echo as "illegal enemy combatants", but has not held Article 5 tribunals that international law might require. This would grant them the rights of the Fourth Geneva Convention (GCIV), as opposed to the more common Third Geneva Convention (GCIII) which deals exclusively with prisoners of war. On November 9, 2004 US District Court Judge James Robertson ruled that the Bush Administration could not try such prisoners as enemy combatants in a military tribunal. This decision is on appeal.
Another potential legal issue with the US treatment of the Guantanamo Bay prisoners is that most of them were captured and transferred to the camp from non-US soil. International laws regarding warfare allows the US to do so, but only if the persons can be classified as prisoners of war.
I think we guys this side of the pond understand perfectly well. Please don't misunderstand me, I think 9-11 was an act of evil. But the UK has been on the receiving end of IRA terrorist activities for many decades. However, I believe that everyone should be granted basic human rights, which it seems that the people in Guantanamo Bay seem to have been denied.
Everyone is covered by the Geneva convention my friend. Just because the government of the USA labels these people 'non combatants' (definition: civilians not engaged in combat) does not mean they are without human rights. It is quite possible that some of these people are evil terrorists but we will never know. Wouldn't you rather see them stand trial in a court of law?
Personally I think they should be tried by their peers like in any civilised society. Lets also not forget that the US is blatently violating the Geneva convention in Guantanamo Bay. If I was American I'd be ashamed of my country.
Windows 2000 at least lets you click in the top right pixel of a maximised window to close it (even though the X appears to be a few pixels to the left).
Wouldn't they be better off putting in devices that can detect explosives? I'm sure such things exist. 390,000 people use the Underground during the morning peak - is it feasible to scan all these?
Wind power? Same thing. HUGE areas of the country where this will never work, and many trimes of the year when it's not effective. Not to mention, they're big, ugly, and loud, and kill birds [insidebayarea.com] as shown in recent articles.
What's more ugly, a wind farm or a coal/gas/nuclear power station? I'd rather see wind farms myself. Or perhaps re-phrased: What would you rather have on your doorstep? Also, wind farms can be located off-shore where there's lots of wind and nobody can see them...
My cellphone was working on Thursday morning (I work in central London), but it was hard to get a connection. I think the problem was simply that the networks were overloaded with people checking up on each other and someone started a rumor that the Police had shut down the mobile networks.

You might want to do a a search on the rec.crafts.brewing newsgroup. There's some guys there who brew gluten-free beer.

So what you are saying is that 2 wrongs make a right?
IIRC none of the original Magna Carta laws still apply. They've been eroded away and replaced over the years (centuries...).

This came up regently on uk.legal (or u.l.moderated). IIRC the act hasn't made it into law yet.
Welcome to Nazi Germany!

Pepsi? It's the same isn't it? :)
It's just a sweet fizzy drink. Nothing special.
A splitter won't help if the signal is encrypted.
That's Sir Tim Berners-Lee to you!

Altogether now!

2 year suspended jail sentence, meaning if he's a good boy for the next couple of years he won't see the inside of a jail.
A packed London bus at that. Because of the underground closures everyone was getting on the busses.
Me too, however dialing/receiving calls was very intermittent.
