You can get USB serial adapters. Not cheap, though. Serial ports are also very useful if you intend to hook up any kind of test equipment and don't want to go GPIB. They're super easy to code interfaces for, and don't need hardware addresses (on the peripheral).
I don't even use an image for my background. I just use black. I use Icewm and KDE in linux and I have XP with all the eyecandy off. Does that make me a minimalist? I would just like to see some revolutionary interface other than just a taskbar color change. Color and shape changes won't revolutionize desktops or make them more useable. I would like to see more use of three dimensional space- instead of a desktop I should have a workspace. minimizing a window should drop it on a horizontal surface, while maximizing should verticalize the window for view. Or something totally revolutionary, like a spoken language interface that actually recognizes the logical progression of a sentence. Speech isn't so useful for dictation due to punctuation, etc., but I would love to see a peripheral with a microprocessor (USB or something) that would offload speech interpretation to a peripheral. dedicated processors for dedicated tasks would solve the Upgrade dilemma. I want a mic that understands what I am asking for. maybe a helpful on screen personality shaped like a paperclip or something....
I am blinded by the phrase "right-wing media". Unless you are referring to Fox news, All I got for eight years was all about what a wwwooooonnderful president Clinton was. Oh, and if you think lewinskigate was all bout sex you have got another thing coming: Paula Jones was attempting to sue Clinton, claiming he dropped his pants and told her to kiss his wee-wee, and Clinton denied her case evidence that he had a habit of soliciting oral sex from coworkers by committing perjury. In effect, he denied her the opportunity to submit supporting evidence by lying. That's not the fifth amendment. You're allowed to say nothing, but you're not allowed to make shit up to hurt your opponent's case, and you're not allowed, in a grand jury, to either take the 5th or deny actual facts. That's it- now you know why us right wing wackos had such a problem with it. He stole from Paula Jones. That's it. Whether you like it, whether you disagree or not, it was a violation of law. So was Watergate. Whitewater itself may not have yielded convictions with the surname Clinton, but many of the Clinton's friends and business partners have now served time in federal prison for their behaviors in this matter. No conviction doesn't mean lily-white behavior.
Bush shouldn't get away with stealing your privacy, either.
Your.sig mentions the firewall testing service. This is a violation of the DMCA. It's essentially low level reverse engineering. It's also an attempt to access a computer system without explicit written (contractual) authorization, a cybercrime. Hold on a few minutes, the FBI and ATF will arrive shortly, execute your wife, children, neighbor and dog, and leave you penniless and alone in the world prior to the trial where you will be found not guilty. Your computer will be government property for being used to post a link to an illegal site. You obviously won't get your family back. In the end, after an eight year legal battle, you'll get some cash as a settlement, and we'll refuse to apologize. THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
No, what I am describing is more hush hush proprietary government conspiracy stuff to eliminate any and all resistance to electron flow. They don't want people to know about it. Evidently, it's working. Sometimes those government bastards even put silver into the alloy to make it work even better. Beurocrats don't tolerate resistance, you know. We're living in an imperialist system and all. All kinds of scientists trying to control atomic particles and tell them where they can go and can't go. I'm not sure how it all works, but I'm agin' it.
What you can do is melt an alloy of tin, lead and bismuth on the battery contacts after wrapping the wires around the terminals. This method is used by NASA. very hush-hush stuff. This special alloy of metals actually flows into the connection when in molten state, and not only does it improve the connection's electrical resistance, but it also improves the mechanical strength significantly once it hardens. Try that. PS- it lifted off and I bet that if the computer had been capable of actually controlling it, it would have flown (up) more.
What we've mostly failed to note here is the emphasis that these sales announcements are, at present, trade secrets for retailers. An early announcement of their intended sales price allows their competitors to undercut them. The information here is stolen or obtained with less than honest intentions. What fatwallet misses out on mentioning is that this information is held as secret by the retailer and for good reason. I would sympathize if they were just releasing current flyers, but this information is the retail equivalent of insider trading. I support the EFF, and I disagree with the DMCA , but I can't support the free release of information that serves to damage retailers.

What they also fail to mention is that with OSS, the end user can either modify the program to include features he (she) finds necessary, but can hire a programmer to completely overhaul the software to suit particular needs. Try modifying closed source software. Some companies will allow it but you have to sign NDAs, and pay HUGE fees most of the time just to see the source. With closed source, the user is at the mercy of the software company. In OSS, the developer serves the end user. The end user also has a right to discontinue dealing with the developer and fork their own project from it. This is where OSS will destroy (or at least fatally maim) the closed source industry. It may not happen today, or tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of your life.
They were just attempting to give away the first dose of the crack-rock to the potential junkie! Who could blame them? How else could anyone ever become trapped in proprietary software? M$ bashers are going to have to start thinking about how the company would
