I've found LimeWire to be way too unstable--it can't handle too many files, and it's slow. However, it does manage to connect to other peers better than other software that I've sampled.
Acquisition is a neat idea, but it doesn't work too well. Not much of an interface, either.
MacPhex is cool, and I like its interface. It crashes on me whenever I try to change the port that it listens on, and it hasn't been able to hold a connection well.
iSwipe is okay if you're searching, but I wasn't able to download some songs from OpenNap when I tried--I don't think it has a very good grasp of the protocol. It also limits you to sharing only 100 files on Gnutella.
I do like Drumbeat X, although that's OpenNap-only, and you have to pay for it. It's kind of slow (only when you're sharing many files), but it works well.
That would be incredibly easy to block, though. Aside from those of us not running Windows, all you would have to do is shut off any auto-execution features.
I doubt it will take long for a freeware program to emerge that disables this.
I would read the article, but I'm blinded by all that white space and black text.
Doesn't everyone know you have to use Flash and JavaScript and <blink> in order for people to read your webpage? Personally, I NEVER read anything on a website if it doesn't have a popup or two.

I don't like off-topic digressions, but I'll go for this one.
First, just because everyone here hasn't given their thanks doesn't mean that they aren't thankful. I think that it is wonderful that nVidia has done this, and I'm grateful to the company for taking the time to implement it.
Second, I know it doesn't matter. I'm joking around. I don't care about the differences between FreeBSD and Linux; they're both good operating systems. I don't think it's a bad idea to step back and make fun of the fact that such small things can, in fact, cause heated (and pointless) flamewars.
I've also gotten a chance to play with a similar setup, in addition to a laptop with a Bluetooth dongle. I was lucky enough to get a demo by one of Anoto's engineers; the fellow disassembled the pen completely to show how it worked, and also ran a small hack for me which read the raw image data that the pen was transmitting. Very impressive technology.
The CCD that they use is intentionally rather low-resolution, mainly due to cost constraints. It provides enough data for the initial applications that they have provided, but I can certainly see that the pen would not quite provide the amount of data that you need.
For me, drawing and writing worked flawlessly, but I had less than an hour to fiddle around with it. The second generation of these devices is already well under development--it will be lighter and most certainly have a better CCD than the present models do. It will still take a while for the technology to get over to the U.S., provided that the first models--like Logitech's--take off over here.

Will people ever stop trying to put Linux on new things? It's getting kind of scary what all it can run on already. When will it end?

Linux Journal -- They used Linux for the special effects in Nemesis.

Yes, but what operating system would the hamster be running? Could it crash?
Perhaps they have been using a spellchecker all along to induce these errors, thereby providing material for funny comments.
I say it's a conspiracy.

Sure you can decode, but I want an encoder too. How else am I going to listen to my songs???

Doesn't have the same ring to it, sorry.
In other news, the USSR provided free bread only to the poor people.
Wait, I'm getting free bread from Apple?
Now my memory may be a bit hazy, 'cause it was a long time ago, but I don't recall Roddenberry getting women in any of the episodes.
What they didn't tell anyone was that the Chamber of Secrets actually turns out to be a women's restroom.
On the bright side, at least they had an entry to make immediately after they started rebuilding the database...
we are having severe problems with Fujitsu drives, especially ones beginning with the serial MPG3
Must be one of those new RIAA-compliant hard drive models.
Does this mean that turning up the heat in the office can now be interpreted as "hacking"?
Volcanic emissions of CO2 are approx. 150 times less CO2 than humans.
Quick! Everybody! Stop breathing!
You can drool all you want over these things, but I'm waiting for a version of Linux that doesn't even need a CPU, let alone a computer.

I noticed that too. Are they trying to start a holy war here?
It seems like compactness is the ultimate feature. But then why do so many people drive SUV's?
That is so they can compact other cars on the road. It's out of courtesy--after all, smaller is better.

And in other news, about 5% of the owners of the 4 million-odd-machines know what a software modem is, let alone that their Dreamcast has one.
Some manufacturers call that a rebate.
