I definately see a use for this. One thing the Pi won't be good for is DRM protected content, not being able to use Hulu+ and Netflix certainly limits the Pi's usefulness as a media streaming device.

<t>Really like what you did for a first issue!<br/> <br/> Thank god for using the printer at work though, I'm too cheap to use up that much color ink at home and I don't think it would look nearly as good in grayscale.<br/> <br/> One small nitpicky thing, on page 19, Java and it's icon are above a d...

<t>They"d better be given names STAT! It"d be a real CATastrophe if they didn"t. Perhaps you should use the kitten name CATalogue.

<t>In my wonderful and fun filled role as a migrant/gypsy/contract IT worker-whore I just started a 12 month gig in a SECURE GOVERNMENT FACILITY.
