I have seen similar instructions selling on eBay for $4.99 on Buy-It-Now (here and here), but I question the legality of selling this information for any price.  First of all, the modification is easy to figure out for any lay person with a nearby RadioShack.  Second, it is illegal in most jurisdictions to bypass the video cut-off of an in-dash DVD player so that the driver can watch DVDs while driving, though experience tells me that there are some out there stupid enough to want to do just that.

It was reported this week that a group calling themselves Anonymous were beginning an all out war against the presence of the Church of Scientology throughout the internet.  They began a massive spam campaign and distributed denial of service attacks following the litigious groups efforts to remove the Tom Cruise mental meltdown video that we was released on YouTube last week and is now hosted at gawker.com.

Since upgrading to Leopard, I have had all sorts of interesting issues with messenger clients under Adium.  My problem was specifically with my Windows Live Messenger account.  The odd thing was, other Leopard friends are not having the same issues.  I also do not have this issue when connecting from my work network.
