You jest but the first MP3 players only had that much. For good exam results as a teenager, I was awarded one of these bad boys:-

It had a SmartMedia slot for increasing the available storage to a whopping 64MB although I never managed to find somewhere that sold the cards at the time.
Dunno who EST are/is, but kids have been riding up and down my street "roadcasting" for years. One day I'm gonna take a box of tacks and do an impromptu mod on that pimped out ride, converting it into a station(ary) wagon.
For the uninitiated, what exactly is the Swedish Conspiracy?
I did a quick Google and found this post on a Passepartout release notice. There's also this Newsforge post on the Swedish influences in Open Source Software.
It's a bit late to be panicking about information that has been available at least 2 years. Besides, this is no more advanced than most High School Physics lessons across the UK and hardly enough to start refining and processing nuclear fuel.
The evaluation board you linked to and the board used in the A9 are not the same. The Simtec evaluation board runs at 200MHz versus the A9 machine which runs at 400MHz.
The evaluation board also comes with a 2MB ROM which isn't big enough to accomodate current RISC OS (the evaluation board uses this space to store BIOS firmware).
Furthermore, the evaluation board uses a SoC (System on Chip) ARM9 to drive the graphics display ("Header for direct access to ARM 9 24bit Video output"). The A9, on the other hand, has a seperate Cirrus Logic graphics accelerator with seperate VRAM.
Simtec designed both boards but that doesn't mean the one used in the A9 was off-the-shelf.
As you point out, the big three provide a massive surface area to do mass mailing tests on but have no commercial interest in sharing this information.
A company called Cloudmark has, for several years now, been running a similar system for cross-provider spam pooling. It's an outlook plugin that weights user opinions against email voted as desirable or otherwise; pretty much exactly as the article describes only on a more centralised (commercial) basis. A friend who ran it a few years back reliably informed me it was very effective.
Note there are no direct links to Rolands site in the article. Unless it's been edited between your viewing and mine. A gesture to temper the baying mob?
instead of having to hard code everything in the ds language, you could just use the linux commands
"ds language"? I presume you mean ARM assembly language? Do you really think they write these games from the ground up in assembler (as nice as ARM asm is)? Have a look at the MetroWerks site. DS, PSP, PS2, GC and GBA are listed currently. I beleive they also supplied kits for the N64.
"linux commands"? I don't remember many blockbuster games based on sed or grep.
I want linux on my ds, it would be cool because i guess with some heavy programming, you could eventually "hijack" other ds's and put whatever you want on them or somthing
Why would you want to hijack another DS for anything other than nefarious purposes? If you own another DS (lucky you) then it can be actively shared. No hijack required.
4: Its not windows
Does it come supplied with Windows? You sound suspiciously like some kid who downloaded a Red Hat ISO once just to join the in-crowd. You couldn't get ALSA working on your laptop so you went back to gaming on XP. If you're going to bash a platform, bash it with authority. Some people know why they prefer one OS over another.
Apple's iTunes client adds the DRM because it needs the client to generate the key. Doing it any other way would likely be a tremendous processor increase on the iTunes servers.
Allofmp3 encodes the MP3s for you from source and they're a relatively small time operation. Surely adding the DRM to already encoded music (based on my limited understanding of FairPlay) is less intensive than the MP3 encoding process? Bearing in mind it only takes a fairly humble machine to decode AAC music, and thus become an iTMS customer, it would be too much to expect users to surrender their PC for the duration of the download.
Not having bought anything from iTMS I can't comment directly on the process but has anyone experienced processing spikes when downloading tracks?
Like everyone else at the time....

There are far less risky ways of getting solar panels cleaned. Like wiper blades, air jets or sets of traffic lights.;-)
"It is sad," related Blalock earlier that week. "I think most of us here are still in active denial. But you've got to know, going in, that these last few days are going to be highly emotional."
With nothing but ellipses we can only speculate on the full extent of her comment but am I the only one that interpreted this in a positive light? Given the above quote, it's entirely possible that she meant it in an emotional sense. Farewells to friends, the odd tear; emotionally appalling.

Perhaps you should RTFA before posting in future.

First one to say "I for one welcome our new mortar overloads!" dies a slow and painful death! Wait, no, aiiiiieeee...
You mean all I have to do is tell them I'm 12" by 2" and they give me a free iPod?! Cool.
I might drop a hint about all my ex's calling me "Rammstein" and see if they throw in a free iTMS voucher.
The question is, will you be able to tell your kids where you were when it ticked over to 1111111111! That's the sign of a true geek.
but what about the rest of the candy swilling population of Slashdot? We're screwed!
Bashing MS is sooo last week. We bash the Mozilla Foundation now.

They'll graft 4 butts on it. In fact, it's two cheeks per butt but the license model still treats it as 8. :(
There's loads of pictures of girls taking on several mechanical devices at once! What? ...
