Yeah I do that at school currently. Some of my classes offer instruction on CDROM, and an old program sped the program up (without increasing pitch or tone) so you can get the listening done in 1/2 the time. Windows Media Player (and I'm sure some linux MP's) allow you to speed up the audio/video as well.
it takes getting used to, but after a week or so, the average person doesn't have problems with it.
Yeah this was my kneejerk reaction as well. But if they have already released it into the public domain, then it's there for good GPL or no GPL, right???
As TRON runs billions of devices worldwide, this will help Microsoft's goal of cementing WinCE /.NET in places as diverse as your toaster and cell phone
Well bring out your tinfoil hats everyone. Microsoft has already created this OS to cement their foot in the door.

Yup, time to bring on the tinfoil body suit so they don't pick up my vibe.
Justice John Broderick dissented, citing a 1988 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that it was unreasonable for people to expect their trash to remain private, given that "plastic garbage bags left on or at the side of a public street are readily accessible to animals, children, scavengers, snoops, and other members of the public."
In that decision - which also was split - a majority of judges on the nation's highest court concluded "the police cannot reasonably be expected to avert their eyes from evidence of criminal activity that could have been observed by any member of the public."
I don't know about the rest of you, but I didn't need a law in 1988 that told me information left out in the open, niavely and ignorantly presumed to be private, to be readily accessable to the public simply if one wanted.
Shredding, composting and heavy recycling usually foil peoples attempts to 'scan' your garbage for anything you wouldn't dare let out into the public domain.
The law in NH is great in my personal opinion, but it's no subsitute for diligence in ones duty to remain private in a very open world, where disclosure is fastly becoming a way of life.
Tsk Tsk, people come on now! Do you really think that uncle sam will stay on your side forever with things like the DCMA, USA PATRIOT ACT with Ashcroft and Co running the show?

How come you don't make the keyboards embedded into the chair in front of them, or pullout keyboards like some college lecture rooms have pullout 'deskspace'?
This is rather simple and conversion from ps/2 or usb to cat5 cable for the sole purpose of keyboard data isn't very difficult.
Yeah I like that line... "what have you got to hide" or "i have nothing to hide"
sure sure, that's what they say. But once you become of ANY importance to the government to the point that they need to "manipulate" you by any means neccicary, they can and WILL dig up the dirt and then do something that these people, "who have nothing to hide" won't like. Then FORCE THEM either conciously or just outside their perception to do whatever they like.
Advertising, propaganda, subtle hinting in politicians speeches?
You decide. Until then I have everything to hide. My face, my name, my numbers, my whereabouts. The government doesn't have a need to know them period.
I did this while working for a company to do the exact same thing. However, at the time there was no fix for the flaw on windows update at the time. You know, the REAL sysadmins that play in their spare time at home or even research at work remote buffer overflows/bsod stuff.
It's not that hard really to do the same thing to any newer xp installation even with sp1 and all the updates. But I suspect that windows update won't have teh fix for some time.
who cares what microsoft thinks? if you bought a car and modified that, does ford or any other 'jap crap' car company sue the crap out of you and make you pay them even more money?
You bought it, you own it. If you want an upgrade that breaks the warranty that's your prerogative.
End of story, end of fact. This is reality. Just live with it microsoft. Be happy they bought the damn thing in the first place.
very true. the linux installer for quake3 can go cli or gui which is very good especially when doing a remote install for a friend who's having problems or even dear old mom.
a unified installer will probably be that god forsaken RPM format, which should be done away with. But my personal opinions aside, I agree with the comment about Premier. Even just working with audio alone there's a windows app called SoundForge that's pretty awesome and I use it frequently. Is there one for linux yet? Sadly there isn't.
Perhaps we should call apon the developers and see if they would consider writing their apps for linux as well as windows, where they still have a good market?
I also see history repeating itself. Remember when IBM had 96% of the PC Hardware market. Don't be surprised if you see Sun and some new market entries taking over from the current market leaders
Sun hardware? It's one thing to have great hardware, but at such prices...

And follow-up by the companies involved to put out a new release in a timely manor.
But I liked the OpenSSH vuln much better b/c you could verbalize it to sound like a tire hissing or say Open SHHHH!!!
anyways.
Am I the only one that actually put that in the address bar?

isn't that like saying it's the vagina from microsoft? in essence, they're saying they themselves are a bunch of pussies?

CVS = Concurrent Version System (i think)
this means that changes are made regularly and often, however they are not stable not should they be considered so.

I haven't found the news anywhere. Can you provide some links or sources online?

personally, I say the h with the influences. we shouldn't be afraid of playing within the system at the same time being critical of it in many ways.
