wouldn't it be better to use your wrists for something more importatnt then typing in data that anyone can do. While you fall into small group of people that can actually code..
Maybe it's easier and cheaper for most of the people to just pay $3 for a ringtone they like once in a while instead of spending hours of searching the net for them and stumbling through all the paying ringtone sites. And even if you do find a midi you maybe don't have correct cables/knowledge to do it in a timely manner.
With your cell provider you at least know who you are dealing with and that it will work with your provider and phone and that you will possibly get support for it. I guess the ringtone has got a value for some people.
And in lesser news, thank god for dynamic IP addresses...
Why should this help? ISP knows from their logs which user had that IP at the time. Dynamic IPs just make it harder for people that are being sued to know if they were the ones with that IP at that time and if they should prepare for anything evil coming their way.
What color shirt you have on as you walk down the street is public (obviously) but what books or medications you have in you backpack is not currently but would be unless we have some regulations (again, IANAL but it would appear that unless otherwise regulated RFID tag info does appear public but I very well could be mistaken).
So they link all the data together and they figure out that you like red shirts since you wear them 3/4 of the time. Then they see what kind of magazins are you subscribed to and change the adds so that people in them are wearing clothes in your favourite colour. Since you like that you will be more tempted to buy their designer shirt.
So.. everyone is happy: you get targeted advertising to your tastes and companys sell more since..
g1powermac already created a livecd using Morphix that has xpde5 inside. Just boot it using desktop=xpde5 boot parameter. It will default to 0.4.2 since xpde5 is still lacking some of the features.

Slashdot Mirror
That's modern evolution for you :)
no worries. I updated it after seeing that comment.
You can still work on improving that sentance though.

So, to be moderatly IP free you have to give up on computers?
How old PC? You would need to go probably 20 years back in time to get near IP-free PC.
It's just that I don't think you would like computerf from 1984.
Freeware ?!?!?!?
It's even better then that. It's GPL!. How can slashdot write about GPL'ed software that it's freeware?
Lots of users would use MS Office because they're lazy and they know how to use it.
And how about users who buy XP Home version and then install Win2k3 or WinXP profesional.
They are still using pirated version even though they have a little money to microsoft.
Isn't that a cool thing? At least you won't have to see ads for things you don't like and annoy you in the first place.

And don't forget gnome-look for eye candy

Since most of us already use option like 'do not show images from remote servers' inside our emails to prevent spammers from tracking us....
how much useful can this service be to slashdot crowd?
Great, another two months of speculations and roumors...
because lots of firms produces services no one needs so you have to convince people they need them in order to market them at all :>
Morphix comes in different flavours. Main purpose of morphix is to ease creation of livecds. This is one of it's childs... :)

And most of it is already in unstable branch. Great work KDE and Debian KDE team! :)
You're new here aren't you?
Wow!
.. good thing slashdot isn't getting more technical .. it would have to be rocket science ^_^
Now that's what I'd call *in-depth* report..
I guess you can get it here: IEradicator
Uh-oh .. there here goes his warranty .. I wonder how much extra parts did he have after putting it back together ;-)
