But keep in mind the System Requirements and License Agreements :

Operating System: Genuine Windows XP (Service Pack 2 or Service Pack 3); Windows Vista (Gold, Service Pack 1, or Service Pack 2); Windows 7.

Restrictions. 1. The software may not be used on a device running an enterprise version of a Microsoft Windows operating system.

I just tried it on Windows Server 2008 R2 and it installed and is running apparently fine, even after a reboot. With MSE v1 it would give up on a WGA error (IIRC) but this one seems quite happy to run.

Hmm, My HTC Touch works just fine using my fingers. Sure the original WinMo 6.0 is not finger friendly but it becomes clear when you flash it with Android http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712310m or install a later version of TouchFlo 2D, that the resistive nature of the screen is not an issue. Plus, I still have the option of using a stylus if I want to. Really, if you want a tiny form factor device with the ability to pick out small things during an RDP session a stylus can come in handy (although it does make me feel a little embarrassed - sort of like having to put on reading glasses in front of your younger coworkers).

Well, someone should test the vehicles which have crashed and look for evidence of this condition. There's also far more outrageous but simpler explanation that for the people who legitimately experienced this problem they failed to attempt to engage neutral. Then there's the other group. Keep in mind (like with the Audi situation way back when) folks who have crashed their cars into whatever (including their own kids) and are facing large fines/jailtime/insurance hikes/suspended licenses, etc. sometimes will jump onto the me-too bandwagon when they think they can deflect the blame to someone else. It's awfully tempting.

Why are you bring Audi into this? The submitter mentions Audi only in reference to unintended acceleration cases of the past. If you read the link in the summary you will see that there was no defect found in the Audi cases. There was however plenty of fraud committed by CBS (60 minutes) and others to tarnish Audi's name.

I'll consider myself fortunate that I couldn't afford anything better than a piece of shit when I first started driving. You quickly learn how to handle situations where the engine stalls at any speed (76 Volare), or the clutch cable breaks (79 Colt), or the throttle freezes wide open (90 Jetta), or you lose the accessory belt. Although many people panic there is no reason to. Power steering and power brakes are power *ASSIST*. They still work whether there is power or not. Depending on the design you will get more or less reserve assist on the brakes, but certainly enough to stop the car easily if you don't panic and pump them. Even after that they will still work but with greater effort required. If the car is accelerating independently of the pedal and you don't feel comfortable shutting the engine off then by all means, put it in neutral. Depending on the vehicle you might blow the engine, but hey, it's better than killing someone.

It didn't survive this. But then again few things do. :-) http://www.blendtec.com/willitblend/videos.aspx?type=unsafe&video=iphone3g

I'm running WinMo 6.1 on an HTC Touch (CDMA). I got it for $0 when I renewed my 3 year phone contract with Bell in Canada. True the GUI is clunky (there are many available 3rd party overlays to fix) and the hardware slow (but acceptable) with poor battery life, but the versatility is amazing and whatever I want to do with it... there's four or five really great and often free apps for that including a huge catalogue of compatible software written for older versions of WinCE and DotNet. Plus, I can run *multiple* programs at the same time and while in a call. Really, a bit smoother UI (there are 6.5 roms which will run) and a bit more HP and I'd have very few complaints. That Samsung Omnia II is looking pretty good. So I guess what I'm saying is that 'sucks' is perhaps a bit strong of a word for WinMo's shortcomings, especially for Slashdotters.

Actually, I've found that even though Bell (cellular) screws up the billing occasionally, and they often don't understand their own policies once you get them on the phone. I've been able to get them see things my way, eventually, every time (I've been with them for almost 7 years). Sometimes it took a two hour phone call, but they always made it right. In comparison, when I used Rogers as my cell provider I went through the same hoops but never, not a single time, got issues resolved to my satisfaction. I still hate Bell though for the games they're playing here. With a license to raise prices for the wholesale customers as much as they like as long as they charge their retail customers the same, they likely don't care if they lose all their DSL customers. That way they won't be using the pesky VOIP and internet television services which are eating into their REALLY profitable businesses - satellite tv and POTS/long distance.

They may be dead in terms of units delivered but certainly not in the number or variety of useful applications available. I have only used HTC WinMo phones with 6.1 Standard and Professional. One of the most compelling features was the seamless Exchange email connectivity. Plus the Office Communicator Mobile and RDP clients. Battery life leaves something to be desired but my CDMA HTC Touch is quite small and light. I wouldn't recommend it for the uninitiated as the UI isn't as friendly as say an iPhone, but the versatility is unmatched in my opinion.

There's a nice little update on the front page of http://www.centos.org/ clarifying the situation a bit. Here's the relevant text from the sidebar:

"Facts Regarding CentOS and the Open Letter to Lance Davis # CentOS is not dead or going away. The signers of the Open Letter are fully committed to continue the CentOS Project. Updates and new releases will continue.

# The issues raised in the Open Letter have been raised privately literally for years and a voluntary resolution had been hoped for and worked toward. But progress requires follow through. We have tried contacting Lance in private for a long period of time before this Open Letter. While we received promises, there was no real response or follow through from him on promises made. We are sure he is not dead, on vacation, or sick. Once we all decided there was no movement in the matter we created the Open Letter. This is not something that appeared just recently.

# We would really like to continue the project using the centos.org domain. That is one of the reasons for the Open Letter. But the developers will move to another domain if there is no other option. Protective backups are in place; hot machines exist to allow for a cutover with a simple one time installation of one RPM package. We continue to refine our plans if this might be the case, to make the transition as smooth as possible.

# We thank the people who have stepped forward and want to donate to the CentOS project to hold off for now until issues surrounding the centos.org domain and donation policy are resolved. Selected donations will be privately solicited by the signers of the Open Letter on some transition matters. We will post general instructions on how you can help the project as matters become resolved.

# The CentOS project is run completely by volunteers and we are aware that this requires a different management style. We have been and continue to work to prevent issues like these from occurring in the future. We will continue this effort in the future, but the matters mentioned in the Open Letter prevent us from moving forward at this moment, as they need to be resolved first.

I believe Oracle Enterprise Linux is based on RHEL in a way similar to CentOS. I'm curious what the problem with this distribution is other than the support is not free?

Hmm... My brother owned both a '72 'Cuda and a '70 Challenger. I used to drive the 'Cuda around because my brother's back was so bad it hurt him to drive in it. Anyway, they had wonderful interiors; good materials, wind-down rear quarter windows, nice stitching, back seat wide enough to lie down on at the drive-in. We also had a 1975 Dodge Colt (Mitsubishi) which was styled in the image of the Challenger/Cuda, especially the interior. Nice. I've seen the prototype pictures of the new Challenger and it had a very slick looking dash, BUT the production dash/interior I've seen looks incredibly cheap and lifted from a lower-end 300. Did they finally change this for 2010? On the outside the car looks great (maybe a bit tall) but I found the interior just killed it for me. From what I've seen of the Camaro, I can't complain. I really liked the 1st gen Camaro/Firebird and this does a pretty good job of recreating that muscular look... even in yellow.

I saw one last night! I was driving down the road and this thing was just sitting in a driveway with the lights on 'looking' at us as we went by. I had to call my 10 year old son's attention away from his Nintendo DS (playing Transformers Autobots of course). "Hey, It's Bumble Bee!" I couldn't tell if it had the logo or not... or Ms. Fox inside. The car looked very nice though, and they build them not far from where I live (Just outside of Toronto).
