I am by no means defending Microsoft but a lot of the solutions that were once Unix centric you can find ports to Win32.
But I'm very glad to see that the tables are starting to turn in terms of "Well in Windows we had this..." It's good to see you can now have that in the *nix world too.
RIAA Robot #1: Did you guys see that post on/.?
RIAA Robot #2: The one where it said we'd try to ban that recording device?
RIAA Robot #1: Yea!
RIAA Robot #3: We can, right?
It's good to see Transmeta making it's name more common but there are many options out there and (sad to say) Transmeta's name up against Intel and AMD is unlikely to sway consumers away from the two giants. But it's good to see more competition (it's the best part of capitalism).
>>> Burn VCD's. I don't know of any simple direct-to-VCD software that will do this so there would be a large labor overhead. Good quality with some degradation. Cheap. >> VHS direct to cheap IDE drives. Good quality with no degradation. Relatively cheap. Probably could use the same technique as burn-to-dvd."
Remember during high use you'll probably only get 5 years of use out of an IDE drive. But as a storage, "once in a while" usage thing you should be okay. I'd recommend a few HUGE drives (200+ GB) just because lugging a bunch of IDE drives around would suck. This would probably also be your best movie quality option.
If the Koreans win then anyone can be sued for a software bug that causes issues (as someone else mentioned) in Korea. If they then it will be bad at first, then good, then bad again. Why? Well, there will essentially be an onslaught of lawsuits and a complete stop of software releases until all known bugs are completely patched and all new bugs are hammered out as well. Then it will be good because the Koreans will receive bug-free software from that point on. But, the software releases will take so much time to develop and test it will actually stiffle the entire industry.
If Microsoft wins then they still get to develop bug infested software and rape consumers at will. Bad (unless you're into that kind of thing).
Chances are the guy sucked ass and tried hustling people on eBay and didn't like the fact that it didn't work so he sued. I'd say that if that were the case it was a DEFINITE victory for free speech.
If the guy was an honest Joe and got bad feedback then that really sucks but it's not eBay's problem.
But, let's all remember there's no REAL easy way to making a fortune.
Seemed to do well this time around (ask the Kuwaitis and the American soldiers on the ground). For a/.'er you're a little behind on the times (no offense).

Wow. Now that's impressive. Too bad the server's gone. Now there is a purpose to the Dreamcast.
Hell yea, use the anti-spam laws to counter the effects of the DMCA. That would be so ironic. The RIAA can choke.
Could be a very interesting case (should it ever happen).

Makes pitching Linux a hell of a lot easier too.
That is some very wild looking photography. I wonder if I could download the entire pic and use it as a wallpaper (I'm kidding).
This will be added to my list of why I'm moving to Linux.
AOL has been about to do something for quite some time.

Glad I used a totally unique password and didn't provide any REAL information to those .NET clowns.
That would require AOL to do something.
It will be great to see the first criminal trial of a spammer.
It would probably cause the IT market to saturate in a big hurry too.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
You're absolutely right.

Depends on how much you depend on Microsoft, I guess.

We're not talking cars but if the Crown Victoria station wagon was better than a Mercedes Benz, I'd drive it.

As for CD MP3 versus HDD MP3 players my mind isn't made up yet.
One of their employees has taught me CCNA. They aren't evil.

True. But that is probably more operator error than anything.
I'm not defending SDI. But, it is possible
