I tried this a few months ago with Parallels Desktop for Mac and hit a show-stopper. After migrating the VM to Parallels activation kicks in. The Windows product key seems to have been revoked as it does not activate. Due to the invalid product key, Windows Update does not run either and you can't validate Windows to install IE7.
Luckily work has a few XP licences lying around. I installed two VMs and now have IE6 and IE7 on my Mac (very useful for testing websites). Perhaps installing Virtual PC inside a Parallels VM would have worked to save an XP license, but I really don't know if it would be worth the effort and possible performance issues.
I think Microsoft did this on purpose. Not just to stop a key from leaking into the wild but if the VM re-activated, you could use their precious browser on a non-Windows host. It's not exactly a "free Windows VM w/ IE6" but more like a way to run IE6 on your Windows machine running IE7. I can't blame them for doing that but since one often can't not test in both IE6 and IE7 without potentially losing their job, it does suck.
There appear to still be bugs with the IPv6 implementation, both on the OSX and Linux versions. At least, there is still a config setting to disable IPv6 lookups.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.9 here and Thunderbird is connecting fine using IPv6 to my mail server (which happens to be located on another continent).
I don't see how you should have any issues if you mail server doesn't have any AAAA records. Even if it does, as long as your interfaces only have link local IPs (fe80::), an attempted IPv6 connection should fail immediately (no route to host) and drop back to IPv4.
I have not read the act itself but the TFA (and summary) is worded in such a way that implies that it applies across the board regardless; whether the content is free or not. What about all those podcasts with 100% legal content? Music from the podsafe music network or other Creative Commons licensed work for instance?
Implement a DRM system but do not force us to use it. I would much prefer the RIAA simply not license content to DRM free broadcasts and sue those who don't have a license.
Requiring DRM by law for all statutory licensed work is massive overkill.
This addon does not appear to be Free (as in speech) and also only runs on Windows.
I much prefer HTML Validator. I find both the Tidy and W3C validators incredibly useful. The Tidy function to clean up existing markup is also rather handy.
My story on this is slightly different. I have 3 aliases setup: allofmp3, mp3spy, chronopay (mp3spy's payment gateway). I haven't recieved any spam attempts to my allofmp3 alias yet. The mpyspy alias however has received 456 attempted deliveries[1] in the last 4 days, and 166 for chronopay. These aliases are definitely out. This started during the recent mp3spy outage where they had an image up for a few weeks with Russian that I couldn't read[2].
1. I use DNSBLs to block after RCPT. 2. If they had used text in their HTML I could have Google Translated it. No way I was going to try to work out what those glyths were.
I can confirm this. As of 2006-09-26 I started receiving spam to both my mp3spy and Chronopay aliases. I blocked them shortly after.
Interestingly though, very few spam to these aliases was from machines already listed in the common DNSBLs. Unlike all the other spam I receive of which almost all is listed.

With 2048 byte packets and using Jack OS X's audio output device I get a very slight echo between my local speakers and the remote speakers. The latency is very good with this setup. Definitely sub 50 milliseconds as I don't notice any lip sync issues. I do my video playback from my Linux server directly but do
Because I do other things on my wireless network besides audio, I like to use an 8192 byte buffer to greatly reduce the chances of underflows and I use Audio Hijack Pro to give me single click switching between local and remote speakers. With a few scripts to setup the plumbing I could do it without Audio Hijack Pro. This setup provides what sounds like a couple hundred milliseconds. I use this setup for iTunes due to easy of use, I'm too lazy to setup some plumbing scripts and the larger packet sizes make CPU usage a lot lower. With 2048 byte packets things like Exposé can cause skips.
Sorry for the lack of scientific answers. I would have done some test recordings but I don't have the required cables handy. In any case, I'm sure it's far better than you'd get with an Airport Express. It only takes a short time to setup and needs no hardware, so I'd give it a whirl when you have an afternoon free.
Using JACK I regularly stream realtime audio (iTunes, QuickTime) from my PowerBook running OS X Tiger to my Debian Linux server where my speakers are attached with minimal latency.
There's a good port of JACK available for OS X and jack.udp readily compiles on OS X. I use Audio Hijack Pro as my JACK source to grab audio from applications and send them to JACK which then uses jack.udp to send via the network.
Of course if you're running Linux on your workstation, everything you need should be included in your distro's repositories already. I have no idea about Windows support.
Having moved to the Mac a few years back, I haven't found many demos which run natively on my machine. I feel like I've been missing out. Demos like the product are great.
Is this a sign the demo scene may just kick off big time for J2SE? I wonder if anyone has thought about J2ME.
With such a rich API available, we're going to see some great (playable!) demos.

SQL on Rails is my favourite. The screencast is hilarious.
It took me a few moments to work out what the Western Hemisphere was. In this context I'm guessing it means "America".
The test as it stands now is not valid for Vista as (afaik) it doesn't have boot.ini.
From what TFA says though, protected mode protects IE on Vista.
You should consider upgrading to Monster ethernet cables. They did wonders for my latency.
But will it side talk?

Typically one would have to decrypt the files to a local fixed disk where they live unencrypted while you work on them.
Options such as RAM disks exist but how readily available are these? (Think of machines where you do not have root).
