But if someone wanted to build them (any big electronics manufacturer) they would by now. I dont believe that Sony and Panasonic, hell even hong kong knockoffs like Panaphonic have been scratching their heads puzzling about how to play ogg vorbis.
It's just not useful.
Getting someone to make, market, and profit from it is 100% of the battle. It would have to be MUCH cheaper than existing mp3 players (under 40 bucks these days), since quality wise noones going to be able to tell the difference on a portable device.
Some time back there was an article about an integer based ogg playback core for hardware designs or some such silliness.
I dunno. There's no money in ogo vorboses - it's not percievably better than mp3 to the end user, and it will cost more due to smaller production runs and a niche market.
The average joe doesnt care that the company that made his walkman got the IP for free.
I believe that law does not apply to corporations who are filing through an attorney who is a member of the bar.
Thats the law to keep the crazy lady down the road from suing everyone who doesnt like her 1200 cats.
However, IANAL. Maybe the bar association could have something to say about it. Believe it or not, lawyers are supposed to behave ethically.
Even so, they can sue so long as they reasonably believe they have a case. Though it does seem like suing everyone capable of duplicating keys because your house was broken into.
I hope all you warez kiddies and thieves spend the rest of your lives destitute in prison.
Maybe all the free spice channel you got will serve you well - by that i mean serve your new cellmate well.
You are all thieves, dishonest ethically and intellectually. You lie to yourselves and make up bogus cover stories about legitimate uses and backup and trial copies (both bullshit).
When you die after years of forceful anal rape in prison, then you go up against Jesus. Who has a big cock and is itchin to take a crack at you too for your wasted lives of stolen pornography and lies.
Facts:
Most "open source" is plagairized, pseudo-anonymously.
Virtually all KaZaa/etc traffic is copyrighted material. This includes bittorrent and freenet (also a bastion of child porn - anyone using it disgusts me on principle)
Hell, most slashdot articles are thinly rewritten stories copied from somewhere else.
Information wants to be free, does it? Well bubba and jesus will have all the information about the inside of your rectum soon enough.

Huh CPU overhead?
It's an ATAPI device, it'll use no more overhead than your hard drive. If it's using any real CPU time, you want to make sure it's using DMA.
Go to your control panel, system properties, devices, select your drive, properties, and check "Enable DMA"
2k/XP - go to the IDE controller and set same for appropriate device.
Of course, if you're encoding/decoding mp3/mpeg/mpeg2 on the fly, that'll use cpu time - but it has nothing to do with the drive.
For you simultaneos burning, put each drive by itself on its own ide channel. Buy an addon card with two ide channels just to run the drives. Or go SCSI if you feel like spending a lot of money.
Pioneers DVR-A06 (106 for the OEM crowd) does both too. And is cheaper. And judging by the fanaticism of pioneer owners, probably better. This is what I'd buy if I had the cash.
Pioneer makes great DVD gear in general. I love their slot loading DVD drives.
The latest in pioneer's venerable DVR-A0x series, the DVR-A06 also does +R/W as well as -R/W.
A quick jaunt around the folks who know the most about media duplication (PS2 and Xbox sceners) tells me this is the machine to own. -R for all your PS2/Xbox "legitimate backups" and +R for all your cheap archiving.
The fact that the guy who wrote Duke Nuk'Em will be the first man in space is absolutely thrilling. The fact that he is openly gay only adds to the bravery.
The only thing I dont get is racing. If they both have to get the same escape velocity to go to space then they'll both go the same speed.
But still, I would stay up all night to watch rich guys launch model rockets.
No vendor lockin with IBM, boy howdy. They have a long and illustrious record of playing 100% fairly in the market. And all of their products are absolutly secure and 100% standard!
Hooray IBM.
Heres to watching them squelch OSS permanently under their mighty thumb.
You do realize they've pretty much succeeded in convincing the pointy haired bosses of the world that Linux(tm) is a product of IBM(c).
Slashdot Mirror
What corporation in this post dot-bomb era wastes resources and employee time on bogus bughunts like this anyways?
These all sound like over elaborate rube goldberg devices to secure the doggy door on your house.
What kind of a tool spends 1200 dollars on a PC that just sits there streaming ogg files to another PC in another room?
You're probably the type of dork who'd go buy dual P4 Xeon 2.8's and 4 gigs of RAM for the box, aren't you?

A design for it is.
Which is merely one step past "idea".
By now I know i dont have first post, but shout outs to whoever does.
1) Error detection - zip has a built in CRC check.
.avi and the like.
2) Firewalls that block

Answer:
Nothing really works right in the open source world. If you dont like it, you can fix it yourself.
I prefer to fix it with C because its object oriented and almost as powerful as BASIC.
I wonder why this is flamebait?
Sure its moronic, boring, and noone gives a ripe fuck what some doofus ran on his laptop 10 years ago, but I dont see the flamebaiting.
Oh wait, I just flamed the wangless little toadlicker, didnt I?
NEVER U FUCKIN MIND
Willfull blindness is not a defense in court.
Would you be responsible if you let anyone store whatever they wanted in your garage, and someone stashed a box of child pornography? Yes.
Techinally, anyone running freenet could be charged with conspiracy to distribute child porn if the feds ever wanted to shut it down.
PROFESSOR WHINER
yeah this whole article is just flamebait. Dont get excited. It's not news, just a chance to spout off about big gub'ment.
A better metaphor is C the language and the C shell.
People who use the tools know that, even if syntactically close, they're different tools for different tasks.
And noone else gives a shit.

How about: A web browser that thinks its an irc client, email reader, etc, etc and the kitchen sink too.
Or: A completely bloated pile of horse shit.
The only feature I want from a browser is rendering pages correctly.
Geography.
Look at how densely packed Japan is. Look at the huge expanses of empty land in the states.
Doing it here means wiring to every single family home. Doing it there means getting 1000 customers per apartment complex you hit.
It's oversimplifying, but it's the truth.
I wish Courtney would take the shotgun to Fannings head too.
