No it wouldn't...those files are constantly updated, so how do you know the other guy's files are up to date? New files would be very slow to propagate.
"class about java, with some programming"
I just have to comment that this is nearly the EXACT phrase I've been using to describe AP Computer Science at my high school, which is supposed to be the BEST place for math and science in the district. Lesson One, actually assigned in the class, was all about parts of a computer...and the teacher DID briefly show us the "right" way to read from the keyboard, then dismissed the three or four lines of code required as a huge pain and told us about the Terminal I/O code provided by the book. The class is something else...@_@
Your analogy is invalid - the CD player and radio are used WHILE the car is being used for its main purpose. It would be valid if you bought a hybrid car/CD player that could be used for one or the other, but not both. After all, you're not going to go sit in your car while it's in the driveway expressly to listen to music, are you? You have a specialized home stereo for that.
Starlancer did it, but I think all that happened was your end of mission pat on the back got better or worse...Of course, the Wing Commander people MADE Starlancer, so that could explain it ^^;
The DMCA no doubt expressly allows reverse engineering. What takes legal priority again? A corporation's BS, or a Holy Chunk of United States Federal Law? The answer, of course, is whichever gets more money supporting it.
the official client blows chunks
Actually, MSN 6.0 is a lot niftier than previous clients.
it seems to take about 5 minutes to realise you are no longer connected if your dialup drops
AIM does that too...
That said, I use AIM, and most of the friends I know that use MSN use it to talk to one of our arrogant bastard friends who refuses to use AIM. He is considering switching to something sane =)
Always read the fine print. If Microsoft addes this particular clause to operating systems, everyone might be forced to utter "Hail Palladium" when the push came to shove.
No no no, we'll be backing up our data and uttering "Fuck Palladium",

If Microsoft's issue is just the advertising, then I would not take exception to having 3rd party software incorperating it. Only fair.
Gaim: Sure MS, we'll run some free ads for you...

Water evaporates at room temperature...do you mean it boils at -32 degrees? =P
Also, what's important isn't the boiling point, but the specific heat of the coolant, which is the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature one unit mass of the substance by one degree Celsius. In other words, how much heat energy it takes to raise the temperature of the coolant.
Also nice would be a coolant that boils right around where things start to get dangerous to the processor, since the heat would go into causing a phase change in the coolant instead of raising the temperature.
Currently the project can use some hacked font files along with the MechAssault or Agent Under Fire exploits to install Linux on the Xbox so it boots instead of the Dashboard when there's no disc in the Xbox. Any bets on whether this'll be "fixed"?
Yes, yes they did. Note that your current subscription will be automatically renewed unless you call to cancel, and that it's not listed there but the Starter Kit is going to increase to ~$70 in price.

Wouldn't YOUR ISP's ToS forbid this?

You couldn't get it notarized if it wasn't correct...that's the whole point @_@

Well, laptops run pretty hot, and these are lighter-sized...I'd say vapor, but it's just a guess.

Seriously...this sure isn't very nerdy, nor does it matter, nor is it interesting...what is it doing on /.?

Who says the code they show us is the code that's running on the voting machines?

Hey, it was a great movie!
It's not like Microsoft's network does a much better job of sending text or files ANYWAY...the text gets across no matter what client you're using.

You can ALWAYS use a faster CPU if you're compiling big stuff like OpenOffice or Mozilla from source...

Well, PURE water isn't very electrically conductive...maybe use distilled water to cool?
The OS is GNU/Linux, you insensitive clod!
Probably because this way it's cheap...

Microsoft even supports it, for less money than some of the "hacking sites". Me, I want two of these for Xbox Linux.
