For those that don't want to spend $300(or whatever the going rate is for Excel2003, which is required) just to see some fancy stats, check out this Halo 2 Stats Aggregator. It's cross platform(actually, it's just a perl script) and it's GPL, so if you like some stats that aren't calculated yet you can just code them up yourself. And, you can probably submit patches to Matt so that we can all benefit from your beautiful work.:)
Well, I posted about this on the neuros message boards, and it looks like they may have sold their rights to the name...I'll post more as soon as I hear more
My zaurus [a 5000D:), but you can only get the] is pretty much a handheld linux PC. Slap a WiFi Compact Flash card in and you should be all set. Your only worry is going to be battery life, as even with the "low power" WiFi cards the battery in these things won't last more than a few hours. I guess you can just carry a couple of spare batteries and swap them out when they get low...
Just in case you haven't gotten enough suggestions yet, I thought I'd post my favorite. The only reason I ever found it was so that I could stream music to my Rio Receiver without a windows box, but it has evolved much since then and can now stream any kind of media(including shoutcast and other stream sources)to multiple clients. It can do much more than that...Just check out the home page.
Since I know the/. crowd loves screenshots here's one of a client streaming music, checking out the server status(who is streaming what song), and editing a couple playlists.
Here's an architecture overview of how it all works.
Wow! I'd just like to say thank you for all your hard work. I can't believe a few/. license trolls, who will probably never even look at the source(let alone submit patches), was enough for you to work extra hard and get the source out that fast. Like you haven't done enough for us already! They didn't deserve it, but thanks again and keep up the great work.
"I'm sorry but I have a bad feeling that the game is going to get pushed back again. It always does, we get closes to the release date then bam, pushed back another 4 months."
Where have you been? This is the delay. Originally, it was going to be out last Christmas. On the main page at halo.bungie.net is this choice quote:
"So remember last year when we told you we don't announce release dates until we're confident well meet our deadline? Well now were confident. Halo 2 will ship in Fall, 2004. Please make a note of it."
Sounds like they're pretty sure this will be it...
I can honestly say that I wouldn't sign a petition to ban something I had never heard of.
That was the whole point of that episode of Bullshit: Many activists act blindly and support causes that they don't really understand, or wouldn't even agree with if they did understand, all for the feel-good sense that they are helping.
Granted, there are many well informed activists. Thank our lucky stars for that. I wasn't talking about them tho...;)
I saw this on Penn & Teller's Bullshit. It was hilarious. Great show, btw. They were going around at a greenpeace rally and getting everyone to sign a petition to ban Dihydrogen monoxide(sp?) due to the dangers. All kinds of 'activists' bought it hook, line, and sinker.
It really showed that many people who consider themselves to be activists are nothing more than cheerleaders for a cause without doing any critical thinking or research about whose and what ideals they are supporting.
Heh, we can tell who wears the pants in your relationships;-)
She's the one who should be driving the pratical car if she likes it so much. That's how you know when you have found the right woman to marry: She won't try to fundamentally change you to fit her, she will try to find a way to coexist with you(and your sports car, even if it only has two seats. Not that I have any personal experience with this...;-P)
I must say that the anticipatory scheduler is the most noticeable improvement from the 2.4 kernel. I'm glad it is going in the official tree. It's been rock solid(for me anyway) for months.
Instead of typing out "even on Playstation 2/XBox/Gamecube" you could have just said "even on consoles" I think that would still get your idea across.:-D
Other than that, keep up the good work! I love the games section!
Well, maybe not WindowsXP specifically, but I went to verify that you were right after reading your post. Lo and behold an ad for "A free Java on Windows tutorial" courtesy of Oracle and Dell.:-P
Also, I find it quite odd that they won't accept ads from DSL providers, but they accept money from DirecTV and Echostar?!?

Yeah, it's called vendor lock in. It's not new, and it's certainly not cool.

Thanks Matt, H2SA rocks!
Yup, it turns out they sold the trademark so they could have more money for R&D. Wow, a company that favors R&D to flashy marketing... :)

I believe that the people at neurosaudio might take issue with that "MyFi" name, since it is their trademark according to their fact sheet.
Read about the feature here

Heh, I sure didn't have to log in...Where were you clicking? :-)
I even downloaded it, which used to be such a PITA when you weren't a subscriber.

Wow, a genuinely helpful answer. Is this really /.?
Maybe you should take the tour which explains the auto-download feature here.
I really like how they keep mentnioning how the new firebird browser 'eases media collection'.
I also like the new slogan in the screenshot here.
While I agree that the RMS version is pretty bad, this version is much better.

Know anyone like that?
The port is built in, and Halo multiplayer is a blast with >2 consoles. XBL is for online play/content downloads.
Is this a picture of it? ;)

Heh, who gets popups anymore? I sure didn't see any? ;) Maybe you just need to upgrade your browser?

The only problem with your idea is that Sega already announced that it was dropping the 2k series from Gamecube due to lack of demand.

Well, I'd say we hosed it. Right now I have 16k in 54 seconds, with 23:06:49 remaining :-P
