But changing the hosts file to block ads on a per domain basis is fairly basic. One of the more useful features of plugins like AdBlockPlus is you can block any particular image/flash animation on a site, whether it is an ad or not. This is great for things like flash banners that sit in front of drop down menus because of rendering bugs on Linux.
The biggest problem with the MX Revolution has since been fixed with SetPoint Updates. The early versions made the middle mouse button the toggle for the regular and freewheel scrolling. Screw you if you actually wanted to use the middle mouse button *as a middle mouse button*. I honestly don't know who came up with that brilliant idea.
But, I have to agree that the MX Revolution is a very nice mouse. With revoco I have it so the (otherwise useless) search button toggles the scrollwheel mode, and with btnx I have all of the mouse buttons working in Linux. The mouse is great once you fix the middle mouse button issue, now if these tools are packaged nicely by default in Ubuntu 8.10 things will be just fine.
Apparently it doesn't sound as bad if you say $X in a million. 1 in a hundred is terrible, and that is the problem: it won't work, and will annoy everyone with false positives.
Yeah there is, but saying it orbits at a distance of 330AU, or 330 times Earth's average distance from the sun doesn't really help. How many football fields is that?
Oh man! The mouse acceleration on the Mac is the single most annoying experience I have had. It is just broken. I had to use one at work and after about 15 minutes I gave up and started Googling for an answer. As it turns out, Logitech's mouse driver for the Mac gives you the option of using Apple's or their mouse curve. Fixed the problem for me.
For some reason, the 2 mac users in the office had no idea what I was talking about...
That, and people seem to assume that the pressing of a CD is the only cost involved with making an album. Yes, I can burn a CD for like 20 cents but producing a CD costs quite a bit more than that. Studio time, instrument rentals, session musicians, engineer, producer, mastering engineer (and studio time), graphic designers, marketing, manufacturing.. It all adds up.
Now I know someone's going to chime in and say that studios are dead and anyone can produce an album now. Well that's only half true - there's still a significant investment involved to get even a modest recording setup that will give reasonable results. Then there is the time taken to become proficient at using the equipment. Yes, you can produce a fairly decent sounding CD for pennies compared to a major label recording, but its not like you can just plug into a sound blaster and hit record.
Besides, I don't know what the big deal is. I've been purchasing music in a DRM free format for years!
How old is the XP disk you have? The point being that SATA wasn't even around when XP was released. If you're using an old install disk, then it won't have drivers for it. I'm fairly certain I haven't had any problems with a SP2 disk and SATA...

Umm, Ardour is the only good audio editing software out there on Linux. And although its getting there, it doesn't compare to something like Sonar.
Listening to drunken messages left on my voicemail is often the highlight of a Sunday morning hangover.

And there you have it.
Surely then the hardware problem lies with the TV? As far as I understand the Wii hardware came away from those incidents completely unscathed.
You had all the .py files in a version control system of course. ;)
You would block the originating IP, not the username used in the login attempt.

You have to escape the special html characters. Man I had to preview that 3 times to make sure I had the tags right!
That would be GNU *slash* 'Buntu thank you very much :P

The ODF (that would be Foundation) was never in charge of the ODF file formats. They just had a confusing name. The ODF format was created by OASIS
