Last time I was in Florida (some time ago, I grant you) I drove 4 hours on three separate occasions to see the launch, only to find out that it had been scrubbed each time.
I do it in order to automatically redirect Pocket PC users to a mobile version of the site. However, if you're doing it in order to make your site "work" in either IE or FireFox, you're doing something wrong.
I used to buy an HP printer (can't remember the model, it was a few years ago) every few months for about $50 on special offer. Compare this to the cost of two new HP brand cartridges, at close to $100, and it's easy to see the solution. I used to throw the whole printer out.
If you're into (or even slightly interested in) gaming on the Pocket PC, http://www.pocketgamer.org/ is a great place to start, featuring the latest gaming news, reviews, free games to be won, extensive listings... and plenty more besides.:-)
Since XP is basically Win2K, that's a pointless comment.

Because a pop-up ad forces you to pay attention to it. A normal ad, even though it might flash and show funny pictures, requires nothing from you. You don't have to look at it or click on it, or close it. God forbid, you might even see something interesting in it.
It's the arrogance of people who block every single advert that annoys me. You feel as though it's your right to have everything on the internet for free, yet I bet you've never joined any subscriber-only site. I don't doubt that you use pirated software, either.
After all, what's the difference between a website owner and a software developer when it comes to putting food on the table, part time or otherwise?

I hope that you've made a donation towards their running costs if you've blocked their ads. People running ad-blockers (pop-up blockers are fine) are going to turn the internet into the equivalent of PBS television. Umm. Except worse.
Regardless of the fact that this guy deserved to be punished, I can't see how chipping for a legitimate use (ie, to use it as a media centre etc) can possibly be illegal.
I would hope that if I bought the hardware I'd be entitled to do whatever I liked to it, provided I didn't actually break the law by putting pirated games on it.
I fail to see how taking a soldering iron to your X-Box can be interpreted as an illegal act.
It seems worthwhile to point out that after RTFA, the pilot was held in Leeds; the scheme is now being tested in London. For those who don't know, Leeds is about 200 miles from London.
It was held in Leeds because the study was conducted by the University of Leeds, where I'm a student.
Google's Picassa is the first piece of really inspired interface design I've seen in a long time. If only Windows / Mac / Linux was this easy to use and looked as good.
Wondered if anyone would spot that... it also appears that/. wants people to use 51 bit words, as it's formatted my 1010101101010's in a very strange way...
Universal Plug and Play (while being a whole other kettle of fish) allows me to use Bittorrent and MSN Messenger's video conferencing facilities with no issues at all.
It all boils down to the basic fact that if you keep your computer up to date with software patches, you're not going to have a problem, as stated by numerous other people.
Wouldn't a lot of people on DSL / cable connections be safe behind their router? I imagine the majority of people use one with port forwarding turned off, as that's the setting by default.
>> One thing good about paper & film is they withstand decades of storage vs. years of normal magnetic storage. Photos and films from the late 1800's/early 1900's are still around whereas you're really gambling with current storage media.
So, all you really need is a good laser printer and lots of paper. Oh, and some Chinese kids who can type 1's and 0's quickly should you lose something...

Wouldn't it be easier/cheaper to fly instead?
I'm sorry, but a button? Here, take this for an example:
JavaScript:alert("Congratulations, you are a fish!")
I can't find any tracks on their website at all. Is it me, or is it all a bit of a con to attract visitors?

Hello? Ever heard of the Pentium M? Five to seven hours on a standard battery is completely normal.

Which is what a diesel is good at. An idling diesel uses next to no fuel, whereas an idling petrol just drinks the stuff down.
Why don't they just run diesel engines? 50+ MPG, excellent performance, low emissions, and non of the hassle with batteries or motors.
Google's case is totally different. Mike Rowe registered his domain because he thought it was a cool domain name, and he hosted his own site on it.
This guy deliberately cashed in on Google's popularity to put viruses and spyware onto people's PCs. Google were completely justified in this case.

"WARNING! Silent alarm activated!"
In that case, how about the right hand opens the door normally, and the left hand sets off the silent alarm?

I was all geared up to see how someone had stuffed Linux into a snowboard.
