Wait a minute! Isn't there a way to optionally set a different OS in Wine when an app or website asks? I'm referring to existing technologies in Firefox, allowing it to send an identifying string to make it look like IE on XP. AND if dosen't exist, can someone write this functionality into Wine?
Personally, I'd like to see one of those robotic self-cleaning litter boxes hacked with their own version of linux. Think of the possibilities!
You can program it to a solenoid on the front door. If someone opens the door, the robotic scooper is automatically put in "turbo" mode, rakes and shoots a sandy shit at you at 50mph.
Hacking. It's just not for coffee machines anymore.
It's a good thing that China is cracking down on Internet Cafes. The last thing the Chinese government needs is for the RIAA and the MPAA to come down on them.
IMHO, if you don't want people to link to a public HTML page you wrote on your website that you make available to the pubic for free, then you shouldn't have posted it there in the first damn place!
Why have a public web site you don't allow people to link/see? Any website with such a rule should have their domain pulled.
While employed at a previous employer, I had to maintain a sales program. Personally, I hated the sales managers, they were pompous arrogant pinheads who thought they were the shit.
On my last day there, after I had accepted a new job in a better company, I "modified" the sales program a bit:
Every 15 minutes, the program would freeze and a window would pop up saying "Please insert 25 cents to continue."
Needless to say, this gag did not go over very well with the sales teams. Oh, did I forget to tell everyone that you can disable this popup by pressing the letter "Z"? Sorry, I totally forgot that.
This is just one of many problems with letting big business control the filmmaker's creativity.
Personally, I do not use large corporations like MGM for distribution, it gives them too much control of my productions. I distribute them myself.
The only one instance of the filmmaker getting his way was Welles' Citizen Kane. The studio hated it, but they never got to touch a frame. Ted Turner couldn't even touch it.
If you can create something like this without the high price, I and millions of other diabetics will pray to you. Imagine: Inexpensive glucose monitoring without bloodletting. These guys did it, why can't anyone else?

I'm growing impatient... Someone just link Kevin Bacon to these damn tabs and get on with your life!
You have no one but yourself to blame.
Now all they need is sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their heads.

How purrrfect.
Just for this, I will not renew my subscription for RHEL and download CentOS.

Mod parent up. Somebody needs to email this link to Red hat's lawyers.

Wouldn't that be considered corporate blackmail? To sell a product that's knowingly full of holes and offering to fix it "for a price"?
Where's the friggin' Justice Department when you need them?

Yeah, you can mod me down all day, but you know I have a valid point.
This sounds like sex. If you're gettin' some, more power to you.
Yet another place we'll soon see another Starbucks.

Let the fun begin!

Now others need to follow suit like Apple's Quicktime with MPEG4 and H.264 licencing for Linux. Then we'll be happy.
I have a rule in my mail program that considers every incoming email as spam if it does not come from one of the 14 names in my address book.
How simple of a solution is that?

On topic, this reminds me of 1995's Ghost In The Shell:
We see all science fiction as just that-- fiction, until the clock advances.
Keep your eye on that one robot near the corner... he keeps mumbling something about Sarah Conner.
Why dosen't Honda sell the Asimo? That's the coolest freaking robot ever.
