I'd be happy with a pdf viewer that doesn't take up to a minute to load on a 2.8ghz machine w/ 1gb RAM & a nice fast MB. http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php - Happiness awaits
Usually I'd more than agree with you, but alas.. quote from the book review;
"Roblimo's new book Point and Click Linux really consists of three things: the book itself, an included copy on CD of the Debian-based SimplyMepis Linux distribution, and a DVD featuring Roblimo's multi-part narrated video guide for getting started with Linux, Mepis and KDE."
To the left, something that turned America upside down.
To the right, a still from footage that was shown on the norwegian evening news recently - some environmental gimmick at a huge music festival.
Another vote for XBMC here..
A win2000 server with lots of disk acts as an FTP site and library for all my media. Xbox/xmbc has access to it all through smb-shares. Plays virtually any kind of media, has integrated IMDB-parsing, i get automatic updates for a gigantic lists of online media such as TV channels, film previews, webcasts, etc etc..
Dupe story, dupe "which state" discussion, so I'll dupe my comment from last time;
There is an episode where the opening (couch) scene is an overhead view of the house. The view goes zooming out through the skies for an overhead view of the US, with Illonois in center, and into space.
There has been hundreds of vague hints and clues, the man himself has stated that Springfield is imaginary and so on, but this one definitely shows Springfield, Illinois. On a map!
That all seems short sighted. It also doesn't seem to take into account new car companys that may popup in the future. The fact is they are just prolonging the real solution, and at some point, they will have to do something.
And at some point, cars and VINs will be obsolete. 30 years? Our personal teleporters should be ready by then.

Uh, so what you are saying is that could just as well shut down the whole justice system, because the threat of jailtime for rape doesn't prevent rape?
The threat of getting punished for illegal actions is highly preventive!
Err.. they DID build a private system for communication, and it IS like a BBS, a network, a service. It does NOT use p2p for anything else than file transfers!
Do a netstat -a while having an open session, and you'll see that your only relevant connection is to the MSN service.
This is what makes you unable to get your peer's IP address unless you initiate a file transfer or similar to him/her.

I was actually appreciating your post alot, until that single line, and it's not the "windows" part that bothers me. You're a terrorist.
I Norway we have a DSL provider which allows 1gb of traffic each month. After that, they CUT YOUR BANDWIDTH down to 64K, rather than charging for bursting.
As I am used to providers with flat rates, I hate this model. But compared to the burst-fees you americans talk about, it may be a viable alternative?

Good times, you could actually marry your computer!

I live in Norway, and we spend quite some time trying to understand you guys.. :)

I'm still using the latest 2.x version, stable as hell, lightweight, does exactly what it's supposed to.

Probability for someone to invent all that to weasel his way out of a ticket? Infinitely higher.

I guess the ancient ones were wise to this when they said:

No matter where you go, there you are!
I guess the ancients were referring to the stargates

Actually, Adams wrote about the star trek device for sealing open wounds :)
