If they did that they'd either have to find a Distro that supports *all* the available hardware out there or build in that support themselves. With standardization around USB that becomes more likely, but it's still asking game developers to put together a competent OS, which isn't what they're necessarily good at.
It's going to be awesome when someone comes up with a virus that locks down all the USB ports and then starts doing things like uninstalling the CD-ROM.
The 51% has to be from the same bill. You can't mix and match. i.e. you couldn't take 51 bills, shave a 1% slice off the edge and then spend the 51 bills while turning in the 51 shavings for a brand new dollar.
Does the Belkin Router send me Spam? NO. Recently a group of privacy advocates have targeted Belkin Routers, claiming that Belkin Routers equipped with Parental Control send spam, unwanted advertisements and spyware to computers. 1. Belkin Parental Control Content Filtering is promoted on our 802.11g Wireless Router packages as an added value service included with purchase. Parental Control filtering enables our customers to block access from their network to specific websites; it is a content filter, nothing more. 2. During the installation process, the router produces a web page asking the owner of the router if they want to sign up for a free six-month trial of Belkin Parental Control, similar to common online product registration requests. 3. The Parental Control registration page is not spam, adware or spyware. It is part of the setup process of the router. It does not "hi-jack" the browser. 4. Belkin routers do not install spyware or adware, nor does Belkin have the ability to advertise to our customers using our routers as a conduit. 5. If a customer clicks "No Thanks" on the first prompt, the registration page for Parental Control signup will no longer appear. Additional Information: - The "No Thanks" button is not a trick button that will install spyware, etc. on the computer. If a customer is uneasy clicking "No Thanks" in the web page, to stop the reminder, you can navigate to the Internal web page of the Router, click on Parental Control and select "Don't Remind me Every 8 hours". This will stop the web page from ever being displayed again. - If the browser window is closed without clicking "No Thanks", it will be displayed again after 8 hours has elapsed. Please note that this is not a browser pop-up, this means that the Parental Control web page will only be displayed if the user opens the browser. Again, Clicking "No Thanks" will stop the web page from being displayed.

I have to occasionally make a hard decision on what to include on my iPod. But usually it's between keeping every Magnetic Fields' song or switching to carrying every Beatles song. Ever.
I get bored to easily to ever carry around a player that only has 256 megs.
Without a strong response, what incentive is there for a terrorist to not do this again (and again, and again)? If people can attack you repeatedly, and without consequences, then how do you stop them.
Or maybe you don't.
I bet you're French.
They were always really really good at surrendering.
fuck you.
as though you would sit by if your friends, family, etc. died.
You arrogant little fuck, who do you think you are?
retaliation may not resolve the problem, but what would you have us do? Sit on our hands?
The only way to stop this from ever happening again is to turn whoever did this (and their friends, and family, and distant relatives) into a parking lot.

Without a doubt, this is the worst post ever.
The Egyptians used nano-particles? There's a world of difference between a very small mineral grain and a synthesized nano-bot.
Get a clue.
Worst. Idea. Ever.

Let the AG know he's making the right choice.
You're either a troll or an idiot.

Here's a response that I got from Belkin.
They're still denying that this is a problem.

They still make these?

Absolutely. I loved SciAm in the early to mid 90's, but now its worse than Discover.
I keep hoping that the MIT Technology Review will step in and take the place of the old SciAm, but that's looking less and less likely.
