Considering some of the less... attractive... physical attributes of some of the passengers, do you *really* want to suggest nude-only flights?
I thought not.
Actually I make it a point to call 911 on panhandlers - even at bus terminals. I saw one threatening a young couple because they didn't want to give him money.
Actually *Linspire* doesn't do Linux as a whole any good. Especially when you buy it pre-installed on low-end PCs that 'Joe Sixpack' buys and it actually makes them *wish* for Windows 98...
At least that was the case when my mother-in-law bought a PC with it installed. I'm going to install SuSE 10 on it. Hopefully that'll be a better experience for her.
First, I *love* MD. I think the portable players from Sony are outstanding, they use outstanding DACs, and the latest ATRAC implementations beat AAC and MP3 hands down.
But Sony totally screwed themselves because of how long they took at update the technology for higher capacity MDs. They *also* blew it by making MD require an MP3 to ATRAC conversion program (SonicStage). SonicStage is one of the worst pieces of software ever conceived. It's slow, counter-intuitive, and Windows-specific (as had been mentioned already). The iPod had already spent 1 year of gaining HUGE momentum at the time the 3G models came out before HiMD had been released. Great sounding units, great capacity, still the anchored by the same cruddy program to *SLOWLY* move MP3s to MD.
If you have a hosted domain account you can do what I do. For each of the incoming email addresses I foward to it's own gmail account. That gmail account is configured to reply as that email address (instead of whoever@gmail.com). Unless someone looks at my headers on their client, they'd never know I was using Gmail all the time now for managing my hosted email accounts.
So what's the big deal?
And many prison administrators routinely ignore and even encourage rape in prisons.
I'm calling bullshit here. I have family who works in the California justice system and they most certainly DO NOT ENCOURAGE rape of other prisoners. In fact because of HIV and other STDs they try to keep it from happening at ALL. And the reason is simple - spread of those diseases increases the prison system's costs to care for the prisoners.

Too little, too late. By Sony.
I'm actually not a noob... It's just a new nick.. ;)
This is actually a word-for-word duplicate of the FC article here: http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/102/open_snapp er.html
