So close and yet so far... Once again Sonys hardware is cool, only to be crippled by shoddy software.
In this case, even their online store is IE only. I got this in Firefox:
"We appreciate your interest in the Connect music store, but our store currently only works with Internet Explorer 5.5 and above. You don't seem to be using that particular browser at the moment, so, unfortunately, we'll have to part ways until we support the browser you're currently using or you upgrade to the latest version of Internet Explorer.

I believe it's from the term 'eating their own dogfood' which means using the tool you're developing. ie, during the build of NT, Dave Cutler made the developers use the beta builds of NT, and it was termed 'eating their own dogfood'.
This probably means the devs are using the product and mean to fix the bugs they've logged.
Fair play. (you didn't just click on the OP's link right?) I'm just saying that in my experience when searching from Safari the results have more of an Apple bias.
I do. I ripped by boxed set of 24 Season one to PSP compatable video. Each episode is about 100Mb, so with a little tweaking, you could probably get a movie into 256Mb.
Slashdot is getting a little tiresome nowadays. Without opening a browser, you can predict 80% of the content....
"Linux rocks"..
"No, too much config"
"Use Windows then (M$ sucks etc)"
"Use a mac, they rule"
"Linux can do everything"
"Yeah but it takes too much time, which is worth more"
etc etc...
I use a Windows laptop for work, a Linux desktop for mundane home computing, consoles for games and my wife uses a mac. I don't preach to others, I don't tell them their opinions or experiences are wrong and I certainly don't insult people just because they have a different point of view to me.
Things must be a bit different over this side of the pond (UK). I've been using a Z600 LEK laptop (european variant of the 505 series) for a couple of years now. It's been stood on by my 2yr old daughter, stuffed into overhead lockers twice a week as I flew around for a month or two, and generally used and abused. So far, no problems at all. The battery still lasts for an hour and a half (not much worse than it was when I first got it)
But then I do *love* Sony stuff....:-)
Come to think of it, my 25" Sony TV has been going strong for 9 years without a problem too.

Depends on your package with BT. I've got 2Mb ADSL with them, and the limit on mine is 40Gb a month...
You've read that page you linked to, right?
You know, the one about a fix to Quicktime on OS X, XP and Win2K?
Just checking, because your post sounds like you thought there was an unresolved vulnerability in OS X.
Funny you mention that, I installed it only today!

The version I watch is an hour long, so you must have huge chunks missing from yours already ;-)
Ahh, so *you're* the reason publishers like EA continue to churn out shallow, linear, predicatable but PRETTY games year in, year out.
Who cares if the AI is weak, or the story dull, or it's lacking in multiplayer/co-op options etc, as long as a game looks nice.
Remind me again why the current PC games need a 2Gz processor?

That's because it's passing 'safari' as your client. It's not the first link when I do it from XP here at work.
(As an Apple user at home, I know Safari based Google results are usually slightly bias)

Wierd.. works fine on my new shiny mac mini :-)
Jeez.

Ahh, the beauty of Linux.

Don't like SuSE, fine, use another distro.
Personally, I like SuSE and YasT. It does all the crap jobs for me, whilst allowing me to go mess with stuff when I feel the need.
I paid cash for SuSE Pro 8.2 and will most likely stump up for 9.1 too.
Sounds like you should piss off and leave SuSE alone, not the other way around
