Umm, RockBox isn't Linux. It does share some code with iPL, but it isn't a Linux derivative itself, though it does give the iPod the ability to play more formats than Apple does. Unfortunately, RockBox doesn't run on the 6G iPod Classic, 2G or later Nano, nor the iPod Touch.
I got the 5G Video after the 6G was released, and on clearance from the somewhat-local Apple Store.
Wouldn't the inability to open such a file depend upon the application? I know KMPlayer can easily stream files via FTP, and that's how I watch most of my stuff (I have a Gigabit connection to the server, so I can watch pretty high-res stuff).
This makes me think someone should sell iPods with RockBox pre-installed, and with an easy-to-use updater for those who can't figure out how to extract a zip file. Though, the new iPod Classic and later won't work with RockBox...
You could just organize your music in a meaningful way. I'd suggest Artist - Album/# - Title.Extension.
I've been doing this for ages with 25 GB of music on my iPod, and just use Amarok to generate playlists (plain M3U), and Perl scripts to adjust them accordingly.
With features like LINQ, it makes me wonder if C# developers really qualify as programmers anymore. Besides, all of those things you listed are Windows-specific APIs.
You could try using IPFilter on Mac OS X, which is the same one that's provided with many BSDs (including OS X). I couldn't tell you exactly what to do, since I use IPTables to do that stuff on Linux.
I have an iPod, one of the most popular portable players, and it plays FLAC just fine. I only have 24 GB taken up on it, with 74 CD albums/singles/collections (890 FLAC) in addition to randomly downloaded songs (293 OGG, 946 MP3).
And for the truck I rarely drive (9 years old), it has a line in on its deck, as does my father's car.
Those reasons are the main reasons why I really don't like binary distros. If there's a change in a package in Gentoo, or even FreeBSD, all I have to do is reinstall it (regardless of versions) and it'll work. Heck, in the case of Gentoo I only have GCC 4.2 (and related packages), and it compiles almost everything just fine, and I haven't had any problems with the 2.6.23.6 kernel.
I do this as well, since most of the music I listen to is Japanese, and many of the songs (especially older ones) isn't present on these services, or even for "illegal" download anymore. I try my local Kinokuniya Bookstore (who orders CDs if they aren't in stock at the moment but available there) first, then Amazon.co.jp. If the latter can't ship out of Japan (only for ones not from Amazon directly), I proxy ship through relatives in Japan.
The only downside is that normal eleven-to-sixteen track albums cost almost $40, regardless of me importing them or buying them after having been imported. That's the music I enjoy, and the RIAA isn't getting my money.
Only recently have I replaced my old 19" CRT with two 20" LCD monitors on my main computer, and the rest of them on my KVM switch still use the CRT (which includes a PowerMac G3). The CRT was somewhat blurry at 1600x1200, though, and my 2800x1050 setup is a lot easier on the eyes with the brightness turned down.
Yes, but if a recent motherboard (such as my ASUS M2V) doesn't support 2GB modules (won't boot with even a single one, alone), then they're not too useful. I ended up having to get two different matched pairs (due to lack of funds), each containing 1 GB modules.
In the end, the units just cancel out. Even if you say seconds of local time per second of proper time (spacetime interval; should really be measured in meters), it's still a ratio, so the units do cancel out.
I checked out Konqueror 3.5.8 (Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux 2.6.23-gentoo-r3; X11; x86_64; en_US) KHTML/3.5.8 (like Gecko) (Gentoo)), and it looks like it doesn't pass: Acid2.png
I was pretty sure 3.5.7 passed when I tried it before, but I may be mistaken.
The Japanese music I get is really hard to find on anything but CDs. I haven't yet bought a CD of American music (mainly because I don't like it all that much, but I'm one of a very small minority). However, I've effectively been boycotting them ever since I started to buy music. Japan's equivalent to the RIAA isn't anywhere nearly as maniacal, or so I've heard.

But aren't you, as well?
That laptop's likely going to be in the series of IdeaPads, too.

I don't know; I've been booting off of CDs for the longest time (mainly for installing some *nix), and all of my old floppy disks have since gone bad.

DNS names are case-insensitive, though.

Does that mean that FLAC is good for quite a few of my CDs from the late 1980s and early 1990s? They do sound fuller than my CDs from the 2000s.

I'm on 64-bit Gentoo and doing the same, using nspluginwrapper. By using Blackdown Java instead of Sun's, I also get a 64-bit Java plugin for Firefox.

Try running Gentoo on it. The software compiles in no time!

According to that test, Konqueror 3.5.8 (43/43) did a whole lot better than Firefox 2.0 (26/43). If only there were a usable KHTML variant for GTK+...

It's a part of the CustomizeGoogle extension for Firefox, though not enabled by default if I remember correctly.

It looks like NoScript saved me once again, since I also use Firefox on Linux. I wonder if Opera would be okay with JavaScript enabled on that site...
If it's forked, the street will either be given the next free number (Street ID) in the city, or be called 45-NG.
