Have you dug into the scripting tools available? If so, never mind, but if not, I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss the possibilities. One of the bioware guys created a module you can use to play chess with another person. That's not exactly like building a complex puzzle, but it does speak to the capabilities of the toolset.
The modem receives the command and doesn't even pass it up to the "higher" networking layers so it's virtually untraceable, as well.
I could be wrong, but I don't think that's how it works. I thought the trick was to get the 'target' to _send_ the +++ATH0, not just recv it. The -p indicates the bytes you want the ping-ee to respond with. So there would be a record in the logs, right?

Most people are in favor of secret government rules regarding who will be allowed to fly and who won't? Must be a definition of 'most' I'm not familiar with.
Not much of a secret, I think. They have a hard enough time coming up with sitcoms that survive for more than the first few episodes, I doubt they'd do any better making entertaining commercials. Heck, they're probably not out there saying "Hmm, should we go for funny and engaging, irritating, or just dull? I think this one should be irritating" when they're storyboarding these ads. If it were so easy to make commercials entertaining I'm sure they'd be doing it. TV commercials are all about manipulating the viewer. Entertainment makes a wonderful delivery agent for that manipulation. It's just not that easy to come up with a good 30 second spot. You're right, though. Entertaining commercials would 'mootify' (:)) the PVR ad skipping bruhaha.
It requires windows because the latest patch needs to be installed prior to moving the files over. At the moment, there's no way to patch the files from Linux. Here's hoping for a better situation with the client...
How do they meet those requirements when it comes to phone calls? Surely they don't record every intra-office phone conversation, do they?
I see IM as more of a 'phone call' style of communication than a written style. I use IM quite a bit for work-related communication, and it's always more like a phone conversation than anything else. In fact, once the information that's flowing hits a critical mass, I usually ask for an email so I have a better record. I do the same thing with phone calls.
Somehow I think the RIAA's main goal was to kill webcasting as _we_ know it, and rebuild as they want it. Then when the broadbrand wildfire has covered all the Joe Public's out there, the RIAA will be in complete control of this new medium, and do what they will with it, just like regular commercial radio.
I dunno.. just a thought.
Since stations get charged per connection even if you don't listen to the whole song, pick your favorite RIAA-sponsored broadcaster and whip up a script to connect/disconnect over and over and over and...
I'm already there. Sitting on my butt for 9-10 hours a day, not blinking nearly enough, only increasing the heart rate through gaming, etc. I've been counting on science to save my fat ass for years now.

Whew..*pant*... enough cheering.. time for a soda.
Actually, after doing a bit more looking, it seems that pretty much all levels of govt. have some set of rules concerning contractors and such. It also seems that the big boys never get touched by these rules, despite numerous infractions.
POGO has a report about it: Federal Contractor Misconduct.
I was under the impression (from an IRC log from quite some time ago) that development was cross-platform from the get-go. Seems strange that it 'suddenly' needs to be ported when in the past it just required a rebuild to get the Mac version going. Things change, I guess. Hefty amount of bummed out Mac users on the Bioware boards.
Any beta testers able to comment without breaking NDA (or breaking.. what the heck to I care?) on how the testing went?
Seems like the beta test was pretty short. Either those testers really cranked on it, or.. what? Is it getting pushed out with known issues-to-be-patched-later? It was just so good there weren't many problems? Maybe the beta test was plenty long and I'm just mis-remembering.
Anyone know where the best place to order it online would be? (best = some combination of cost and delivery time)
And the spokesman added, "Responsible security researchers work with the vendor of a suspected vulnerability issue to ensure that countermeasures are developed before the issue is made public and customers are needlessly put at risk."
Nice to know that they want te ensure customers are needlessly put at risk.
Not sure if the follow-up to "... I want one of those Sony PCG-U1 in a way I'm not entirely comfortable with feeling about a computer." is 'but I can't buy one because they are too expensive' or 'but it's too much of a pain to get one from Japan' or something else, but (ugly sentence) if it's the middle option, there's a company that looks like it will sell you one: http://www.dynamism.com/u1/pricing.shtml
(I know nothing at all about them.)
That might be one reason, but I think the biggest reason behind the attempt to squash independent web radio is promotion. Radio is still a big way for the RIAA to promote bands and concerts. To them and the evil that is Clear Channel, _any_ competition (read, consumer choice) is a bad thing.
I don't think this is about legislating the internet out of existence. I think this is about controlling the internet. Clear Channel wants to control what gets played so they can keep their tidy little concert promotion monopoly in good working order, among other things. I think it's disgusting, and they should get slapped with lawsuits until there's nothing left of them but a lawyer in a windowless room.

Typically the beta tests are pretty small. The current one is only 100 people.
And I wouldn't have said a thing if the parent hadn't said "Heheh, I'm not telling." :P

Would the synchronization be tricky to get right?

If you only stream half a signal, you don't really need to pay royalties, do you?

An opinion like that makes him worth more than most of the US Senators I've heard blabbing lately. Wonder if he'd consider moving north?
I'd say yes, if Microsoft hadn't been convicted of abusing monopoly power. Since they've been convicted, the rules are different for them.
