Folks, Someone asked up above about how to contact the MPAA; I thought (aiiiiieeeeeee) that we might want to use the following addresses:
1) hotline@mpaa.org According to the MPAA, this address is to be used for notifying them of video pirating operations. I should think we're justified in using it; after all, we lot are "pirates", every last one of us, if the MPAA is to be believed.
2) Snail mail. No, really. I'm going to write this evening. If your penmanship eats it, use this as an opportunity to beta test WordPerfect 2000. Write to: Motion Picture Association of America 15503 Ventura Blvd. Encino, California 91436 (818) 995-6600
Yep -- I've done a different version of this on my Linux box: a Perl wrapper named 'safe-netscape' which runs through the cookies file and ditches all unwanted (i.e. non-Slashdot) lines. Writes the file, starts Navigator.
As if Microsoft didn't abuse it enough, I think 'innovate' is now officially in the lexicon of Corporate Weenuses who can't think for themselves. It joins other drone favorites, such as:
solution proactive resource robust e-*
Someone needs to roll down the window and hock a lugie at corporate America.
I was looking for an excuse to kvetch about Real. RealPlayer is downright *invasive* as far as I'm concerned. Endless registration requests, checking for plug-ins, et cetera. Listening to the Series was like visiting the proctologist (good thing it only went four games).

Would that be near Wales, then?
. . . the signal from daughtercard to motherboard would propagate out in something like three feet, if you used standard ribbon cable.

A great development effort that is so unlike Red Hat, it nonetheless uses Red Hat's distro.
