And when they tie your plate RFID to a silver Land Rover and you're driving a blue Ka, or they pull you over for faulty plates and see a bunch of wires hanging out of your boot to the plate, the Government is going to be able to track you much easier in your 6 X 10 prison cell.
But don't let me stop you from tampering with your plate.
Flat cables aren't that difficult to work with. Proprietary flat cables are a pain to work with.
As an example, I have an IBM thinkpad 380Z with a broken lcd cable. Simple enough, right? Replace the cable. They're mostly standard connectors. Except the cable has a variety of surface mounts on it, and can only be replaced with a $125 replacement cable. If it didn't have the surface mounts, I could use an old IDE cable to replace it. If it had a driver circuit that wasn't built onto the mainboard, I'd have a vga display to play around with.
Tampering with plates is a bit easier to track than ripping your DVD's to PC. Pass by a cop broadcasting l0s3r, and I'm sure he will not say, "Oh well, I guess we can't track him anymore.'
The biggest problem with most hardware is that it is exotic. I'm not talking about PC's, and routers have become cheaper with micto-atx mobos with dual ethernet onboard. Laptops and PDA's are where there seem to be a lack of standards. There are no displays which can be plugged into your PC without special driver circuits. Why not create a LCD that has a standard interface that is compatible with PC hardware now?
If you standardize the equipment, then you will drive prices down, and you won't be stuck throwing out a PDA that has a broken screen, or has eol'd. Just upgrade it.
Not under heavy load, it just runs KDE 3.2.x desktop, mail server gateway, virus checking, yadda, yadda...

I think that I'll stick with Linux/KDE. Apps start a bit slower than I'd like, but once they do, they're very responsive.
Miguel, first off, I only mean to offer constructive criticism. I am not a hardcore developer, and my comments should be taken as such.
From what I understand, the API's are fairly well documented in the standard. You have expected input, and expected output. Could you not implement most of these natively, rather than relying on wine for the look and feel, etc.?
I understand that you have put this together in a relatively short time, and it has surpassed impressive. I also realize that you do not want to reinvent the wheel by recoding the Wine project, but for most GUI apps, are you limiting yourself with this decision?

will the applications I write with this stack work on Windows?
If you write a pure C# program that does not use the GTK-Sharp , QT-sharp, or any other neat bindings, it should run. The very simple Hello World apps work.
I still think that the mono developers are straying a bit from what they should be doing. For the windows forms, they are relying on certain wine-libs. This works, but is not as elegant as it can be. Miguel was talking about the next incarnation of gnome being written in C#, essentially using the Gnome bindings for it. My opinion is that they should build gnome to natively handle the windows.forms portion. I am not so tied to the look of the applications as I am functionality. I could care less if Microsoft.office.NET looks like gnome when run on gnome.

Sounds fair. Now if only Intel would agree to not abuse this by artificially locking processors to manipulate market prices.
I can hope.
That, and my serial number generators for my software that I lost the original to.
The font is too bold and too small for the size of the graphic.
If only they would make it poster sized and ready for print!
Just pipe everything into /dev/sound. Easier, elegant in its simplicity, and will keep people out of your cubicle.
They put all their money into their death ray. /frink quotes to follow.

All I've got now is a broken laptop.

Ten seconds too late. I'm having my third monday in a row. Please forgive me.
goes against what the web is about.
Simple test. Next time it locks up, reboot and check the temperature in the BIOS. If it's not way high, then it's probably the app.
The processor shouldn't just lock up like that. Perhaps the heavy load is overheating it?

After countless wedgies in grammar school, I couldn't procreate if I saved up until I was 90!
Then the MyTunes software is illegal, not the broadcasting software.
There is a justification for this feature. Put an eicar test signature into a comment, and watch some realtime virus scanners go nuts.
best line i could think of was "why do you come back and try my new kernal on...
You should try my pick-up line: Excuse me miss, but does this rag smell like chloroform?
Works every time.
There's a backdoor in the software auditing software. The programmer is safe.
Did they patent the first post?

I've gotta get a tivo so I can watch it before 11 at night
Well, in lines of me being a pedantic asshole, you're watching it after 11, unless your Tivo can record the future.
Just to test, can you record this weekends lottery numbers and post them? I want to cover all bases here.
How the hell does a Tivo do that?
Did you get the Tivo Time Travel option?
What are they selling this year?
Pretty much nothing. If they can squeak by with 50% of their revenues, they're laughing!
