I would like a system where you have a reader plugged into a stero system and an ethernet cable (or wifi). Then you would go and buy or somehow get a tag, you scan the tag, and it downloads and plays the music. Some tags will have playlists too. Some of the tags from the Big 5 would be linked to the first reader they are scanned, other tags could be traded, but you would still need the physical tag to play the song.
I have been using Puppy Linux for a while now, and it is a wonderful distro. It's small, but it has tons of stuff. It has a nice working X server, abiword, a few web browsers, tons of other utility's and NTFS support. It is really fast if you have enough ram for/usr to be a ramdisk. I highly reccomed it for anyone looking for a non-knoppix derivative.
I believe the Star Trek head is used, because it is of the Aliens on Menagerie(season 1), which is based off the pilot. I cannot remember if they used that same head in "The Cage" though.
I highly agree. I have been mucking around in new OS's and distro's and FreeBSD was really easy for me to install. No mem-hog graphical installer, but it wasn't extremely cryptic either. But most importantly (to me at least) it got my non-standard, onboard video card properly configured in *one* try! FreeBSD was a godsend.
The very first programming expirence I had was with LOGO on an Apple II. FOr those who remember, there was a lego dacta set, in which you would build a Device out of standard Lego parts and motors/sensors and would use a weird cord to connect it to a box next to the computer. This is not to be confused with the Control Lab system that ran on the earily Mac's but it still used LOGO. Was a great intro to programing.
I run FireFox 1.0, recently swicted from Opera, and a previous long time Netscape user. I am a regular net user, and I have yet to come across just *one* page that would not render in Gecko. I haven't opened an IE window since I downloaded FF when I formatted my drive. My brother, father, and Mother use FF as well, and have found no reason to use IE. ActiveX is losing popularity and most businesses have it turned off by default, so, this seems useless.
RFID has it's pro's and con's. It is great for doing shipping, I did a big report on it's uses for tracking products and controling distrubtion. IT could also be used for tracking people, which is bad. Everything in the history of this universe has both a good and bad side. If you can, please name just one thing that is only good or only bad. But for now, I say that when correctly implemented, RFID will be a great thing.
AThat wouldn't work. The way our voting system is set up. You are actually voting for the Electors pleged to a party. So if you brought in a person without a party affliation, thus no electors, even if they won the popular vote, they would not be President.

Why not combine GNUstep and MONO. Allow for full compatibility in both MacOS X and Windows on their native copys?

Technically, we would fall in, but because of the such increased gravitational force, relavitivity would pop in and we wouldn't see us falling in.

I use a PAYG service an a SMS is cheaper than a 1 minuter phone call

Ipod Linux has been out for a long time. In fact, I think I'm gonna go boot it now. Ogg files run ok... but its got good FLAC support.
Depending on how close to the shore he was, he could have made it, but he would have to be pretty far out.
Mini-ITX computers already implement this. You can buy a IDE to CF convertor for about $20(USD).
I very much prefer the TMBG interface over the iTMS interface. Can get songs on linux, no need for a client, no DRM etc...
