I have read it is not possible to do that (no iPhone on hand)... can not understand why not, this would be a great feature. As far as i know it is possible with google videos.
I think the statement to get rid of the dependency of fossil energy doesn't mean the total lack of any oil in the car industry. The process of converting plants like colza (rape) to oil and using it as bio-diesel is already in use. Given the fact that volvo has a lot of experience producing diesel engines for trucks this could be a very good replacement for all cars. It is already in heavy use here in Europe, a lot of cargo companies switched their trucks to bio-diesel because it is a lot cheaper and you just have to do minor modifications to the engine. Also the diesel engine is popular for small cars too.
So it is a great way to combine this with other renewable energy sources like wind/sun/water ( they produce electricity). Imagine a hybrid car with bio-diesel engines and electricity engines. Could be a smooth transition into the post peak-oil age. I just have to wonder where in Sweden you could grow so much plants (colza), but maybe this could also be a chance for other countries to produce and export it.
Unfortunately the German government decided to raise a tax for plant oil in the near future, so the times when you could go to the local plant oil supplier to get your diesel car rolling for about half the price of regular diesel are almost gone. More and more people do this, so it is a welcome additional source for the government to get money. It will get about 20% (not sure) more expensive, but it will still be cheaper than diesel. Sad times for the local farmers though, was a good way to to regain independence, but there is big business again.
Yes, I can confirm this, my Inspiron 8100 is rock solid too. I was about to buy my first notebook in summer 2001, but waited until the Tualatin PIII was available, so I too bought the Inspiron 8100 in October 2001.
I had to change the hard drive within the first year, still under warranty. It was the infamous 48 GB IBM drive, I think every single one of them died rapidly... got a 60 GB replacement for free, still working fine.
This thing is for the last years the only computer I use, and it is powered on almost 24/7 on my desk. I'm using the speedstep feature to run the CPU on 700 MHz, so there is never a fan running... I need silence while working and sleeping in the same room. Only problem is the earphone plug, it is still working but only after fine adjustment when plugged in.
So, I really like this hardware and can recommend it, but I have to admit I'm really looking to buy a good desktop again. When the Athlon X2 4400+ is cheaper and I saved some money, the time has come.

Maybe they don't know ... but the software they made knows for sure ... but who trusts in Microsoft products anyway?
