Oh boy! Yet another form of compression to deal with. (as if 4874.7 weren't enough!) If they're smart, they'll keep their engine compatible with the older ZIP and make the new ZIP 'better enough' to justifiy swtiching to the new engine. If not, it may just be another ACE waiting to happen.
Great way to get back at SCO. Remove the code in question from the Linux kernel and put that kernel on the rocket. Fire it so it flies over SCO and when a kernel panic or something happens because of that removed code, the missile falls "harmlessly" on top of the SCO hq. Then you can just shrug and say: Eh, I guess you were right all along... Oh well.
I was going to load up Outlook Express and use that to convert everything to OE format and then use my new Mac to then transfer it all over. Seems kind of overly complicated, but whatever works! Note: I have't tried it yet, but I can't see it not working.
When I was learning how to overcome my st-st-studdering, one of the tricks I used was to write out what I was going to say on the phone and then have someone read along with me. It helped very much (80-90%). This device does pretty much the same thing. I feel this device has a lot of promise. The price is the only thing that needs work. Now if someone could figure out how to have something speak for you... Goodbye inner-monologue...
I have 1 question about this whole 'Apple BIOS' issue. Why hasn't anyone reverse-engineered it legally like what Compaq/HP (I think it was one of those or both) did to the IBM BIOS back in the day? It was legal back then, has it become illegal now? If someone could do that and get a license for the G4/PC970 chipset, we'd have the same Mac computer market as we have with the PC market. It'd be a boon to competition and 'innovation.'
Just my 2 cents...
Back in the day, people were complaining about the goverment putting restrictions on the roads (i.e. speed limits and licenses). The roads didn't die, people just got used to speed limits and the need to have a driver's license to drive on the main roads. The same thing will eventually happen to the internet. Like truckers have to go through weigh-stations on interstates, packets may soon have to go through verification-stations before they may enter the main backbone. If this happens, it will most certainly change the way we use the internet, but it won't kill it off. It's way too important right now. All I have to say is that our free internet will become a heavily regulated form of communication and we will just have to learn to live with it. No more unchecked piracy which we have all grown to love and hate. It'll be time to actually buy what we need and be indentifiable on the internet. No more hidding behind countless firewalls and proxies so your boss or wife doesn't know about your pr0n. It's time to fess up and be an honest person.
I'd be hard-pressed to find something more frustrating than trying to play a first-person shooter on a console. I'd compare it to being stuck in a sleeping bag.
This whole thing reminds me of the bad guy in Robocop 2. I just hope they don't use a criminal rat's brain and use drugs addiction to control it. We all know what happens when you try to do that... You make a bad movie.
The one thing that MSN lacks is TCP/IP based broadband access on a pre-existing service (cable modem or DSL). AOL has it. Let's say you have a cable modem and want to try MSN. Too bad, you can't unless you have a modem. Not true for AOL. If they add that feature and then possibly charge a lower monthly fee for that kind of access, I feel they would attract a much larger audience (read: parents who already have cable modem or DSL). I know of 5 families who got hooked on AOL even though they already had cable modem. Go figure...
I've been doing this for years!

Now it has even less fearues with which to compete with TiVo. Way to go!

1337 it!
Or maybe try downloading the Office.X Test Drive and installing it onto your eMac and converting it all there?

I did not know this... Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
