So what you're saying is that you cannot seek in IP-streamed music, but you can seek in local files (e.g. on Xbox's HDD, from external data storage via USB)? Eep!
I'm sure you can use specific options in Xvid or lavc MPEG-4 to make it use SP only and give it a FourCC that signifies that. Although, that too would require transcoding once again. Argh...
If by "groupthink" you mean "groups of 5-10 people", then yes, we have that here. The fact that you were modded up is just another case of proving you wrong.
So, what else is there to do besides sleep and drink? I'd rather get something done so I have more time for other things once I get to my destination...
Put your phone next to your speakers and listen to the noise when it rings. That's the speaker's problem, not the phone's. The phone is licensed for its radio wave frequencies it uses, and the speakers are not, so the speakers must use insulated wires or just deal with the annoying noise.
I know you're joking, but there really isn't much difference between a corporation and an incorporation. IANAL, but it looks like they're both the same thing.
Both Xcode and X11 (XFree86) come on the Mac OS X DVD thankfully, but how do you go about installing svn? I had to do it from source, and the dependency hell that is makes me not want to do it again anytime soon...
You could probably get at least a basic drum kit going at that price using the cheap parts they use already. Three toms, a snare, a bass, high-hat, and crash and ride cymbals. Just think along the style of electronic drums except they won't be as extendable obviously.
Now if they did allow extensions or at least a MIDI input, us musicians could plug in and have even more fun!:D
Nobody's running for it because it isn't even done yet. I wouldn't use an incomplete licence that has the possibility of not holding up in court, or having unintended consequences, etc. You can't just use a "beta" version of legal crap...
Introducing new bands, songs, and sounds to consumers via videogames seems like a fairly natural way of trying things. Consumers exist to consume "content", that is, consume it passively. Since we're not talking about customers of Harmonix (i.e. the people buying Guitar Hero games), nor are we talking about gamers in general, we can't assume anything will be able to influence consumers that involve active entertainment.
Never underestimate the apathy of consumers! Your customers, however, are more likely to enjoy learning about new bands they can listen to and perhaps go to concerts of and purchase albums of.
I'd rather shop while it's dark (when there's nothing else to do outside your home) and do other stuff while it's light (e.g. BBQ, sports, friends, children if you have them).
I'm guessing more than a few people will be installing this one on purpose. Or they'll continue downloading their media from The Pirate Bay, Mininova, Torrent*, et al.
I know this isn't the ideal situation, but you can configure wpa_supplicant for the networks you have that use WPA and co., as well as unsecured networks, and I believe you can have it autojoin a network if none of the preferred networks are available.
Also, wpa_supplicant has a GUI (called wpa_gui, imagine that) that you should check out (aptitude install wpagui).
I've got one of those AT&T routers (2wire), and it is configurable, but I already had a good wireless router before I got AT&T, so I just have a tiny Cat-5 cable I slapped together that connects my old router to a port in the 2wire one (which has its wireless disabled) and DMZ that. Better security that way.;)
The obvious enterprise solution that comes to mind would be to put your DS and anything else that can't do WPA/2 on a VLAN that's firewalled from the rest of the network. Of course, this might involve a bit of cash spending if you don't have a router that can do this...
More companies that provide services for a free product and make a profit: Sun, IBM (more than just Linux), Novell (more than just Linux), Canonical (more than just Linux), MySQL AB, Yahoo! (most of their services are free (i.e. ad-supported), but paid support versions exist), Trolltech (Qt and other GUI toolkits), Oracle (more than just Linux), and SourceForge. There are even organisations like OpenBSD and the Free Software Foundation that make money selling their own free/libre and open source software on physical media. There's also something called "donations" where users of your software will attribute their own price for the software and will pay you that amount (usually on a regular basis as well).
Also, if you were alive back in the beginning UNIX days, you'd know that all software came with source code included so that you could compile it for your particular setup as well as modify it to meet your needs. In fact, BSD was started as a collection of patches for UNIX, and that eventually became its own operating system (see FreeBSD and derivatives). So not even can you make money on free software, you can also make money while also giving the source code to your customers as well!
The 3d stuff uses an X extension called Composite, and anything is welcome to use it. Xorg contains AIGLX, an implementation of Composite, and then there's XGL (an older X server specifically created for Composite). So, Fluxbox would only need to use the Composite extension to get 3d effects.

Does said monitor support HDMI? That could have something to do with it. Or HDCP at least.
Perhaps he's genuinely autistic? That would explain a lot.
J2EE existed in 1987? Hmm...

You whippersnappers have it easy nowadays! Back in my day, we had to remember server IP addresses and their phone numbers, and we liked it!
Yeah, the article summary is totally NPOV...
It reads like a press release from Microsoft, and without having RTFA, I can't say whether or not it actually is.

Are you a convicted monopoly? Didn't think so. Monopolies have different rules to follow in order to maintain a free market.

That's why I mentioned them. EMI didn't say they were unshackling all of their music they sell on iTS.

NTP is done via UTC (aka GMT+0), and the device itself calculates the local time from that. UTC sadly won't help the timezone problems...
