Here's an idea:
How about we give them food, PC's, cars, etc. in exchange for oil.
This could be facilitated through an intermediate form of exchange we could call "money".
Did you notice any illegal gambling web sites accepting Visa? That's kind of the point. Visa, Mastercard, Discover, etc would not let you have a merchant account if you were operating an illegal gambling outfit or even if you merely scammed people. Paypal does exactly that.
A quick google for "visa gambling" finds this site featuring major creditcard logos (including visa) on the main page. Use mozilla, or beware of the pop-ups.
I think that argument is coming to an end soon. Claiming international entity to cover for the fact you are processing illegal transactions is BS legal double speak. The fact still remains this company is based out of CA and will be procecuted as such.
By this same token are not the credit card agency's also in breach then? I wish such a lawsuit would be levied against Visa, or at least Citicorp.
At least as I understand things this is not true.
I just ran a ping test for yahoo.com from 2 machines using the same link. The wireless one has initial ping response times in the 130ms range, while the LAN connected machine on the same switch consistently gets initial responses well under 90ms.
I neither have high usage or interference on my 802.11b network.
Unless I don't understand something basic here, the results I just observed would indicate a ~40ms latency on the wifi connection.
At least wifi wont work with this kind of application right now. The latency issues are really a problem for real-time stuff like this, and I assume the same is true of bluetooth.

Windows CE-based devices may outsell Windows-based PCs within 5 years
Notice that the quote indicates CE will outsell Windows-based PC's. Let's all hope so. It's time for opensource take the desktop.

you can't buy single Via processors anyway
I think you're mistaken
From that page:
The 667MHz VIA Cyrix III is the coolest processor on the market
and
The 600MHz VIA C3 is the coolest processor on the market
I'm confused.
Heres another nifty tip:
Editors, please start posting articles with archive instead of www.
Then people like me could stop putting this in our sig lines:
and down under at the same time.
Like under your house.
Get some grow lights, a hydroponics kit, and your in business.
Just don't get caught or they will take your house.
You seem to be missing an include statement.
Still worse, sometimes I even respond to trolls like you.
Avoiding the "Slahdot Effect"
1) Move database to Oracle
2) Connect webserver to a DS3 on a tier 1 network
3) ???
4) Profit!
Thats exactly why I am now in the PBX industry. I'm making $41k for a Jr. Nortel admin job, and the industry is even growing a little.
I'll just wait here until things get better outside. (I still freelance on the side to keep my edge.)

I've always thought of 1/4 as "one fourth" or January 4th, depending on the context...
Hmm... I assume from the above that you suffer from an "American education"?
Most of the world uses D/M/Y, but clearly that is not acceptable for you I guess.
I have to say that I always thought of 1/4 as "april fools day", not "april troll's day"
No.
If you could however write all 1's to all the harddrives in the Southern Hemisphere it would likely cause a polarity shift on the earth however. (AF)

How did it do DVD? Did it have a propeitary software or hardware decoder?
Here's a list of the multi media players it seems they are using.
Not exactly a a good answer to his question. Basicly, the answer is that it only decodes DVD's at boot time. Not while running GNU/Linux.
From the review:
The etDVD software is a boot time embedded software set that does all the magic of audio and video playback at boot time.
Now the fp's will appear even sooner.
Not if you stay on dial-up.

Not true.

If this point has been made before in this thread, why is it rated Insightful?
