Wine Is Not an Emulator. It just reimplements the Windows API under different OSs, so you still need an x86 compatible CPU for it to work. Bochs OTOH is an emulator, and apparently supports MacOS (as well as other machines). No guarantees upon performence though!
Linux can write NTFS, but uses MS files to do so. Tried it a few months ago but couldn't get it to work (on a Knoppix live CD anyway), but no idea how far it has came since then.
Haven't tried google desktop, but the problem with P2P apps and SP2 is that SP2 sets a limit of 10 pending connection attempts per process, which would indeed mess around with some P2P apps. Fortunatly there is a fix (although not an official MS one, so either find one from a more trustworthy source or be careful!) that rectifies this problem. I assume it was done to attempt to slow down spam-bots, and hence no easy-to-change for users/the spambot registry entry.
How about: The Office, Coupling, Dead ringers, 2DTV, Bremner Bird and Fortune, Peep Show, Little Britain, Green Wing, Have I got news for you, and a hell of a lot of documentries (the power of nightmares I seem to see mentioned fairly often with torrents linked to). As always, YMMV.
I'm british. Please enlighten me on how I can pay for enterprise instead of downloading it, seeing as the DVD box sets have only just been announced. I watch it on Channel 4 when it's on, and that's the best I can do (cable and satellite not available in my area). Besides, as other posters mentioned, they probably don't look at the UK ratings anyway when deciding whether or not to produce the show.
Last I heard it was suspected of actually being PearPC under a different name (compiled executables compared and found that many variable names matched), but the author(s) of Cherryos denied it - no idea if it was proven one way or another for certain though.
"Would you expect Apple to provide updates for versions of OS X running under PearPC? Or a hacked iTunes running on Windows 3.1, or any other weird exotic situation you can think of that was never supported by the creators to begin with?"
I sure as hell wouldn't expect them to make sure their patches work on those configurations, but OTOH I wouldn't expect them to try and break the ones they release purposly.
The only thing I can think of is that if this is produced, it might encourage other companies to create a product like this one but at a lower price and targetted to regular consumers (ie not millionaires), where renting DVDs and putting them on these devices, or buying then sticking on ebay might become a problem for them.

IANANS (Nuclear Scientist), but iirc the transport cases are designed to resist being cracked upon under extreme circumstances - ie survive a train crash, being heated up to high temperatures etc and I think I've seen a test somewhere of flying a military fighter plane into one without it cracking it (although admittidly I could be thinking of a demonstration of a building technique/material being shown post 9-11).
I'm not defending MCI/UUNET, or even sure if this is the same MCI that this story is about, but an MCI's AUP:
Email
Sending unsolicited mail messages, including, without limitation, commercial advertising and informational announcements, is explicitly prohibited. A user shall not use another site's mail server to relay mail without the express permission of the site.
Which is strange because in the article it mentions "MCI is the only American, and indeed only Western network, where this spam support activity is 'not against our policy,'".
Or does MCI just post that as it's AUP on it's site to cover it's back if it wants to close an account for spamming in the future, or to comply with possible regulations etc?
Gertrude Walton of Fayette County hated computers, her daughter said.
That did not stop the recording industry from accusing the now deceased 83-year-old Mount Hope woman of illegally trading music over the Internet.
More than a month after Walton was buried in Beckley, a group of record companies named her as the only defendant in a federal lawsuit. They claimed Walton made more than 700 pop, rock and rap songs available for free on the Internet under the screen name "smittenedkitten." - advertisement-
On Thursday, a spokesman for the Recording Industry Association of America acknowledged that Walton was probably not the smittenedkitten it is searching for.
"Our evidence gathering and our subsequent legal actions all were initiated weeks and even months ago," said RIAA spokesman Jonathan Lamy. "We will now, of course, obviously dismiss this case."
Walton's daughter, Robin Chianumba, lived with her mother for the last 17 years of her life and said her mother objected to having a computer in the house. Chianumba said she didn't know anything about the record company's claims. And she said she does not know anything about the screen name.
"My mother was computer illiterate. She hated a computer," Chianumba said. "My mother wouldn't know how to turn on a computer."
The case demonstrates the imperfections of the record industry's two-year old effort to hunt down and sue people who put hundreds, even thousands, of copyrighted songs onto file-sharing networks on the Internet.
The industry tracks down file-swappers using the Internet Protocol addresses attached to their relatively anonymous screen names.
The IP addresses are useful because they identify computers on the Internet. But investigators cannot use the numeric codes to figure out who is using a particular computer. Often, they can only use the IP address to learn who is getting billed for the computer's Internet service.
In more than a handful of cases, the record industry has sued a person for file-swapping, then later learned that they were really after the defendant's child or grandchild.
Chianumba said she faxed a copy of her mother's death certificate to record company officials several days before the lawsuit was filed. She said she did that in response to a letter from the company regarding the upcoming legal filing.
"I believe that if music companies are going to set examples they need to do it to appropriate people and not dead people," Chianumba said. "I am pretty sure she is not going to leave Greenwood Memorial Park [where she is buried] to attend the hearing. I don't know if this is a scheme to get money, I just don't know what's going on. I am concerned." - advertisement-
When Walton died on Dec. 11 after a long illness, she was survived by eight children, 24 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren, according to her obituary.
Could smittenedkitten be one of them? The RIAA declined to say.

Well, if an unmade bed and a pile of oranges (can't find link, but someone dumped a pile of oranges somewhere in London and said it was art) are art, then I'd say this is art too.
Maybe their idea was to force people to choose different passwords for that account than their other passes, but then again that's completely flawed if the user's "usual pass" is less than 7 chars.
Yes - "So the link spammers - who prefer to call themselves "search engine optimisers", but get upset when search engines do optimise themselves - turned to other free outlets which Google already regarded highly, because their content changes so often: blogs."
IANA GPL Expert, but I think right now projects under the GPL either specify the "latest official GPL version", or "GPL version X". So when the new version is released the projects under "latest official GPL version" will be "automatically updated" as you put it, but the ones under "GPL version X" won't be. No idea about dual licensing though.

Nope, it was The Guardian. IIRC it did increase the turnout for that county, but whether it made people vote against Bush or not is unknown.
Here is a link to a "spoiler" thread which this quote is taken from, and apparently the source is reputable.

Yes, as well as embracing Open Source, their news is definatly good - hell, just look at how often BBC news links are posted in /. stories.

Another reason would be to avoid exposing an unpatched machine to the net (if you're lacking a firewall or other protection that is).

"Not sure how it works in the UK, but as you describe it, it seems that corporations could get away with just about anything. "
I have never studied law, but iirc the Judge chooses who pays the costs, or at least has some say in the matter.

Ah, well that makes more sense then. Thanks.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think TiVo ratings are factored in to the Nielsen ratings.
Usually just simply the "last episode ever".
