My new (dual-booting) laptop with an Intel GMA X3100 doesn't seem to work properly with DX9 or DX10, which pisses me off because I got it thinking I would have ok performance and decent Linux drivers. Should have gone for AMD/ATI, but I didn't know they would open their specs 2 weeks after I got it. None of my favorite games work, except Rome TW.
Ummm... because anyone who's knowledgeable enough to know what/etc/apt/sources.list is, let alone be looking through it, is smart enough to figure it out by themselves?
Is there a difference?
From the point of view of (some) American colonists, it was an act of rebellion. To the British rulers, however, it was clearly an act of terrorism. It all depends on your point of view. I suppose I'm a bit biased though, because of that whole tarring and feathering the people who didn't agree with you bit.
Speaking of which, the 10 000 pounds[as in money] worth of tea destroyed is worth something like 22 million dollars, adjusted for inflation. That's a lot of money, and it's not surprising that the Brits cracked down. If someone sabotaged 22 million dollars' worth of American oil, they would be treated just as badly. Terrorism is never ok.
The hard part is the "so you can't mess with the software" part. The vote counting process is opaque; the software is kept secret from the public, the software audits are of questionable benefit
Did you actually bother to READ my post? The point is that it's opensource software which uses hardware DRM to prevent modification. The process is not opaque at all. Post the source on the internet a couple months before you finalize for the DRM, so people can look at it and submit patches to fix things that are bad.
Or do it the way it is in Toronto municipal elections: there is an arrow with a gap thru it like so: = => next to each name. you use the advanced technology of the 'pencil' to complete the arrow of your desired candidate (for mayor and for councillor, they're separate categories), and then it goes into a scanner that detects which arrow you selected. Then it goes into a stack so there is a paper trail.
This way you get the advantages of machine voting with the advantages of paper voting.
How about a machine running Tivo-style Linux (so you can't mess with the software) that lets the user pick one out of several choices, then prints a receipt and says "Does the receipt match the screen?".
It's/not//that//hard/.
The reason they don't opensource it because there should only be one Launchpad, or you get all kinds of complex problems that are totally unnecessary. The point of Launchpad is to have a central system to manage things. Why do you need your own Launchpad, when it's better for it to be centralized?
Note that that package is not installed by default; and to have it installed during the initial install requres gouing into a small submenu.
The only people who have that installed (I do) are those who choose to install the package.
What I want is for Kalendar to sync with Google Calendar.
I like KDE because all the applications integrate, unlike in GNOME, where they seem to be loosely scattered about.
Mythbusters doesn't 'prove' anything... A few uncontrolled experiments isn't good enough. Careful study is need before something is true. Hell, even *gravity* is just a theory.

Do they have a "Receiver" app too?
What if the boat gets spam and is then encumbered by its massively enlarged pen1s?

I want one!
Maybe if they weren't running as root *all the time*, they wouldn't have so many problems.
Like the Ubuntu wiki? AFAIK, it's entirely run on https.
I agree. We must protect the fundamental human right to download music!

So how do I register as an artist and cash in?

He only adopted the GPL because of pressure from others and has never believed in it.

So that's a vote registered to Diebold, right?

Obviously: After all, we all know that Lunix truely IS the SUPERIOR operationing system!

IE7 doesn't work on Linux. Slashdot users are all communists, so none of them would be using it.
