What about C++?

On: C Alive and Well Thanks to Portable.NET

Isn't C++ widely portable while giving mast if not all of the features of C# (except for being interpreted)

You should use windows...

On: Build Your Own LCD Picture Frame

so you can have a picture frame showing a blue screen of death.

Or what about a beowulf cluster of these pictureframes? They could look like pictures, but in the background they could be servers.

Or these picture frames could be used as actual PC's, so someone could be playing quake on his picture frame.

Can DRM actually work?

On: DRM Technology To Be Added To MP3 Format

Can they really change the source of cp, cat, more and every other program out there that reads files to check for drm?

bash$ cp cool_muzak.mp3 /home/otheruser/
cp: DRM Error: The RIAA is out to get you.
cp: DRM Error: Your IP has been sent to the RIAA.
bash$ cat cool_muzak.mp3 > /home/otheruser/cool_muzak.mp3
cat: DRM Error: They is still out to get you. Mua ha ha.
cat: DRM Error: Big brother is watching...

It seems impossible to make every player and old install file support the DRM in the new and improved DRMed files

Well at any rate, I'm going off to install debian stable. I'll be safe from this new technology for a few more years.
