Considering that every recording label now has its own crappy DRM (think Sony BMG), buying CDs is no longer an option.
I wonder why no one in this discussion mentioned smileys. These are the times when some IM vendors even make smileys and other emoticons the selling point for their software (wink wink, nudge nudge).
For those curious - yes, Google Talk supports smileys, but does it in its own google way. There are no stupid yellow smiley faces, it just highlights some widely known smileys (like:);):P etc.) with blue color and makes them bold. That makes smileys stand out from the rest of the text while not being gaudy. I wonder why no other IM clients use this idea?
BlackDog is treated as a CD-ROM by the host PC and is booted automatically when plugged in. Once booted it can access any of its host's peripherals or network resources.
Wait, if we boot host PC from this virtual CD-ROM, isn't that OS running in the host?
How is it then different from booting LiveCD or LiveUSB stick?
If BlackDog needs access to host CPU, how is it better than running the host as a server itself?
I see FedEx rushing to patent DRM-encumbered boxes that allow themselves to be used for package shipping only and self-destruct when used to build furniture.
Expect boxes to report potential terrorists to gov't in the nearest future.
Reminds me of a sample script that comes with Netstumbler:
Sub LaserCallback (bssid, ssid) If Robot Is Nothing Then Set Robot = CreateObject("Skynet.T9000") Robot.PointLaserAt(bssid) Robot.Say "Hasta la vista, " & ssid Robot.FireLaser End Sub

Someone illegally distributing Windows CDs can modify the copy so that it (unknown to the user) runs the crack, gets seemingly-legit codes, and uses these to "prove" that it is a genuine copy to the silly purchaser of the illegal product.
You're overcomplicating (is it a word?). Pirates usually use "corp" XP without any cracks, and WGA happily takes serials (license keys) generated by the latest keygen.
So WGA, like WPA (Windows Product Activation), is more a hassle for legit users, while pirates easily bypass it.

Who the heck is Litterate?
Is he the one who ate lots of litter?
I'm pretty sure 150 kW of power would not only leave you without eye, but burn a hole all the way through your head.
Same here.
I guess the poor wumpus got slashdotted.
I guess videolan guys added the picture later, after being slashdotted.
Very funny.

That's because your browser is sending /. referer and tomshardware thinks you're stealing images.
Just copy&paste URL into location bar.
I'm confused. Will someone care to explain?
Seems like they run their server on one of these BlackDog puppies.
They should have used DRM!

It seems there a few undocumented keys in Drivey:
T - toggle title
Space - manual brake (no oversteer though!)
V,B - adjust brightness
I haven't seen such a neat demo for a long time. Can't wait for the next release.
If you read help (F1), F5 toggles auto drive.
For added bonus, hold CTRL to make things really fast and SHIFT to slow to a crawl.
No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.
This is a dupe of another dupe.
Yawn.

Just google it.No, you build a big fusion reactor where lots of sex offenders live.
If it blows up, everybody is happy!

WMP-free Windows? Who on earth will buy it?
It certainly won't make any harder for 'mom & pop' users to catch spyware.
Unless they start offering Windows without IE, I'm not interested.
May I borrow you tinfoil hat for a while?
