you can find a small window AC unit that takes up much less space (and weighs less) than a 40 gallon trash-can and an oscillating fan.
Cool project though...
I thought this would be a good idea for notebooks about 3 years ago when cat5 was the primary option, but now that I'm using WiFi, I hardly ever plug cat5 into my computer.
Now maybe if a small generator could be integrated into a mouse... oh wait - the mouse ball is history.... nevermind.
"more power to you"
Why is this a good thing? Apple's DRM is very reasonable, and, in a sense, easy to work around by design. Burn a purchased song to a CD and rip from the CD to MP3 or whatever. The record companies apparently don't have a problem with this since it's been that way from the beginning.
I have wanted the ability to buy singles for $1 since before MP3's were popular, and now that a legal option exists, people like this guy are trying to ruin it for everyone. Try cracking Kazaa instead.
Has anyone heard what *kind* of nuclear weapons Pakistan, India, N. Korea suposedly have? There is a huge difference between Fission and Fusion bombs.
The TV news dosen't seem to know the difference between a radiation car bomb (aka dirty bomb), the Moab bomb, and a 50 megaton fusion bomb.
IBM has a MacOSX native Lotus Notes 6.5 Client and the best they can offer for Linux is Wine to run the Windows version?
It seems to me something like an enterprise email / PIM application (especially when you sell it) is kind of a critical thing to overlook when you say your company is moving the desktop to Linux.
It was interesting (and predictable) to see Palm run into the same 680x0 ceiling that Apple did several years prior. Palm had to switch to a different processor architecture (ARM) and create an emulation environment just like Apple did when moving from 680x0 to the PowerPC.
The problem HiDef audio has is that a lot of people listen to music in their cars, at work, or other places they don't have the ability to listen to hi-def, multi-channel audio.
In one respect, audio quality has gone down in the last five years. People were attracted to MP3 because of convenience (free downloads, all songs on one device, ability to 'acquire' singles - not entire albums, etc.) - not because of superior audio quality.
I mostly watch movies in my living room or a theater. There is much less of a need to 'play anywhere'.
I don't understand the response from Apple since you can play regular MP3 songs (non Apple) on the iPod.
I think the recording companies might be concerned with whatever *magic* Real is doing incase it somehow alters or removes the DRM copy protection that Real's music store uses.
Field guide to playing music on an iPod:
*Get* an MP3 from Kazza
1. play on iPod Buy a song from Apple
1. play on iPod Buy a (whole) CD from Best Buy
1. rip to MP3
2. play on iPod Buy a song from Real (before Harmony), Napster, walmart, Cokemusic.com, etc.
1. burn to CD
2. rip to MP3
3. play on iPod
"Three IBM-designed 64-bit microprocessors. The combined power of these chips means the Xbox Next will have more computing power than most personal computers."
I think "3" G5's can emulate a 733 P3 without too much trouble.
Why dosen't some Pizza chain offer to sell single use DVD's along with Pizza delivery?? The driver is already making the trip, the guy ordering the Pizza isn't in the mood to drive to Blockbuster, etc. I could see Dominio's offering 4-6 of the latest release for that weekend on this format.
And for the environmental concerns, a 2 liter bottle of Mountain Dew has the same, if not more plastic than the single use DVD.

So which is it? NT, Unix, Linux. Aix, AS400, 'hundereds' of workstations, or training?
You need to pick something to like and are good at, and be familiar with the rest.
Palm bought BeOS and then stopped selling it.

Better go ahead and get your vacation time confirmed and approved before the rest of your peers try the same thing.

Convenience is a huge factor with music.
