Seriously... wouldn't this be considered to be a copyright violation that the RIAA would want to bring suit against the customs dept? Imagine the judgement they could get for the volume of files that has been copied.
Wouldn't you still have a problem that the data would have been at some point on your hard drive as well before it was transferred to DVD? Even if just as a cache of some kind?
DMaul: The script that I wrote uses the myspaceprivateprofile.com interface to find the images. Therefore, it uses the same criteria. From my own testing, it appeared that myspaceprivateprofile.com did not return public images from public profiles. It only returned public images from private profiles. It did not return private images from either public or private profiles.
So... I'm guessing the really good stuff isn't there.
While I agree that this should be the ultimate goal, then why was Microsoft so persistent about wanting OLPC to run Windows? Microsoft sees this as an as of yet untapped market and wants to get in on the ground floor. If the children of these emerging markets learn to use a computer with Linux installed, they'll be far more comfortable using it as adults and won't have to feed from the Windows teet.
Intel has an interest here also in pushing Windows to emerging markets because Windows is largely responsible for Intel's continued sales. Without new versions of Windows requiring faster and more powerful computers, Intel won't sell as many units.
Is there a hidden 3rd party?

Negroponte vs Intel

What I want to know is... is there a hidden 3rd party pushing Intel *cough*Microsoft*cough*? Intel's device is available with Windows XP. I wouldn't at all be surprised to find out that our "friends" in Redmond are responsible for this in order to get their software into the emerging world instead of Linux.
My girlfriend once was a professional skiier. She had an accident that left her in a wheelchair for two years. She has some form of paralasis where she cannot feel anything in her legs other than vibrations which travel up her bones. She learned how to walk by feeling the vibration of the floor under her feet. I don't quite understand all of it but it's really amazing. The only time she has problems with this though is on surfaces that absorb the vibration. Then she looks like she's drunk.
A little revolution now and then is a good thing; the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. -- Thomas Jefferson
I think you're confusing Franklin with Jefferson but either way you have a good point.
Not one Democrat opposed the SAFE Act. Two Republicans did: Rep. Ron Paul, the libertarian-leaning presidential candidate from Texas, and Rep. Paul Broun from Georgia.
I knew when I saw the two votes against that one would be Ron Paul.
Anytime I want to view something on YouTube though I have to open up Firefox and I'd really much rather be able to just use one browser.
NOTE TO ADOBE - make Flash available for Opera on Linux please!
In theory, wouldn't the code for ANY updates to Firefox be available to be examined, tested and approved being that it's open source? In my opinion, that's better than just being able to test a closed source update. Seeing though as I don't work for the Army, I can't comment any further.
After reading an article back in September (I think it was posted here on Slashdot actually) comparing the speed of Opera vs Firefox and IE7, I decided to give Opera a try to see how well I liked it. I was really getting disenchanted with Firefox's memory problems and seeming "bloat" if you will. The only problem I have with Opera is the "lack" of support for Flash for Opera on Linux (not really Opera's fault though is it).
I'd much rather prefer to use an open source app instead of closed source. Maybe Firefox 3 will be able to convince me to switch back. (I have grown rather fond though of Opera's Speed Dial and Magic Wand features though - maybe there are or could be Firefox Extensions to duplicate them?)
I have no problem with the idea of electronic voting machines but they should povide a paper trail and the source code for the machines should be made open for public inspection so that the public can be sure that when they vote for John Q. Public that the vote is recorded correctly.

So ... what part of Pittsburgh are you from?

Is Taco trying to completely set /. into a total flamewar? Two political topics, MS vs Google, and now a Linux vs Microsoft article?
I could see this for high end vehicles where people would be willing to pay the premium for a car who's "paint" will never fade.
Are they ill tempered?
Which takes you right back to the original problem that you had to begin with.

If you run those values through a hex to ascii converter you get SKYNET
In the case of children, you also have to include PARENTAL responsibility.
You're assuming that Microsoft doesn't have a proxy bid in place already to outbid you during your snipe attempt.

I just tried this exact thing with networksolutionsarecrooks.com. Same result. Within minutes it was showing up in a standard whois.

I've heard rumors about this sort of thing before but now I've seen it with my own eyes.
The predecessor for that was known as "ilm" but it robbed you of all your points whenever it was used.
Thanks for the link. I'll try that out.

Will the robots have Genuine People Personalities and be manufactured by the Serius Cybernetics Corporation?
Agreed ... I still haven't found an onboard adapter better than my Live 5.1.
