A digital media player, with files usually coming from a ripped blu-ray or DVD.

You're not alone. I've filed 3 or 4 complaints with donotcall.gov about "Cardholder Services".

If you're referring specifically to the big name pilsners -- Bud, Coors, Miller, Heineken, Corona -- you're absolutely right, they taste exactly the same. But if you open yourself up to the lesser known varieties -- pale ale, IPA, hefeweizen, stout, etc -- you'll see that they do in fact taste very different.

That's the thing, the GPL isn't about free code, it's about free software. It's about the end user's freedom, not the developer's. That's what differentiates it from the BSD license.

The original Half-Life mod Science and Industry played like a CTF game. The "flags" were scientists, and you captured them by hitting them on they head with a briefcase and carrying them back to your base. What a fun game.

Only just now. It works. I'm a little hesitant to rely on it though, as the styling would be completely messed up for IE users with javascript disabled. But then again, the percentage of IE users with javascript disabled is probably very low.

That doesn't work. IE doesn't add the new tags to the DOM properly; tags withing the <article> tag will be added as siblings to the <article>, rather than children. The only way I've found to make an HTML5 site work in IE is to surround all the new tags with old tags, and reference the old tags in the CSS.
For example: <div class="article"><article>...

4-way movement for Crazy Kong / Donkey Kong is more difficult as the Tankstick has 8-way movement

I was going to say the same thing. I bought it specifically for Ms. Pacman, Donkey Kong, and Frogger, and unfortunately it's unusable in all 3. A keyboard works much better.

The stable release of AnyDVD HD (6.6.3.4) doesnt support Avatar, but the beta version does ( http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=40115 ). It took me longer to update the firmware on my bluray player than it took me to update AnyDVD HD. Though the actual ripping still takes about 4 hours...

Once you upgrade the firmware, the Argosy HV335T can play Bluray ISOs (I just bought one and it works). It only plays the main title movie, though. It cant play the menu or display subtitles, but it can do both with DVD ISOs.

This isn't the real April Fool's RFC. The real one is RFC 5841, TCP Option to Denote Packet Mood.

Not Newegg. That was D&H Distributing, the company that was originally (falsely) accused.

Outlook 2007 switched from using IE's rendering engine to MS Word's, so actually you've got it backwards. As bad as IE's rendering is, it's light years ahead of Word's.
