Well, there/has/, but not since the late '90s. 2.0 introduced the ELF executable format, which replaced the old a.out format that the 0.x and 1.x series used.
One can dislike Israel without being anti-Semitic. As I read someone say to a Jewish kid they'd grown up with, "we don't dislike you because you're Jewish. We dislike you because you're an asshole.", and he was, and Israel is.
Unless it's land that's still occupied--and run--by the original settlers' descendants. Perhaps there are such places in Africa, or in out-of-the-way places with no strategic value.
You have at least two or three variables, depending:
1) Is your wireless/3G on? That drains more quickly than just reading does. 2) How many page-flips? 3) Do you have the fancy cover with the pop-out LED light that draws from the Kindle battery, and how much do you use it? 4) How much time spend actually reading, vs. in standby? Not a whole lot of power savings in standby, but the CPU's at least in deeper sleep.
With the light and the wireless on, I can drain a battery in several hours' continuous usage, or (more likely) two to three days on my normal schedule. I don't normally leave the wireless on, though. I understand Amazon claimed a month of usage without wireless or light, but that obviously depends on how many books you'll read in a month.
Devil's advocate: MSN Messenger has gone through a number of protocol revisions, and IIRC only a couple of those are supported at a time. It's not inconceivable that MS would revise the Skype protocol (adding new features, say) and leave the legacy non-Windows clients to rot.
Don't suppose the EU would be interested in making MS open the Skype protocol.
It's because of the pissing contest between Murdoch and Google News. If you remember, Murdoch was pissed because GN dared to post links and summaries of his "papers'" stories... and yet that same Murdoch's properties were posting robots.txt files that aided GN in indexing their stuff.
It's a pretty simple concept - a basic heuristic for dodgy-looking connection attempts, and then blocking the originating IP at the firewall. Once it's reasonably bug-free it won't need maintenance until Linus decides to switch to a different firewall again.
Use the DBGL front-end. It's Java and hence cross-platform, and it's got some canned system profiles you can associate with your games, for example 486DX2-66 or 16 MHz 386.
Not the same: X10 had that ad campaign on a lot of different websites. They were actually one reason why I fiddled with my hosts file back then, when I didn't simply stick with lynx.
See, when I was building my own kernels in Debian and using grub (and no initrd), I wasn't vulnerable to that particular PEBKAC, because I always made a symlink from/vmlinuz to the updated kernel and grub just happily expected to see the kernel there. Lots easier than having to remember to run lilo.
Ubuntu doesn't use the symlink, so it has to keep its list of kernels updated.
I've never had trouble with Grub. This is likely because I just let the package manager deal with it and new kernels, rather than building my own.
The only problem I've ever had with it was PEBKAC: I upgraded the kernel and purged the old one, but didn't let the Grub updater run. A quick boot with a live CD let me edit the conf file and all was good.
I'm still not wanting to do business with X10 after their marketing campaign several years ago with pop-unders and "OMG SHOWER SPY CAM!!!1eleventy" ads.
He's an evil fuck, but from a professional standpoint I have to admire how well he succeeded in his mission to hurt us, and most of it was psychological.
At least we were spared a pic of/him/ wearing a flight suit.

Easy +1 for the pointless and off-topic anti-Microsoft post.
Why'd you feel the need to bring them up, anyhow?

Two months' battery at half an hour of reading per day? Shyeah, who reads on that schedule?

What sort of shitty treatment?
Bah.
It's time to upgrade from your ASR-33, grandpa.

Corporate/personal vendetta, that's all.
In fact, hello.jpg is an apt metaphor for the gov'ts attitude towards the citizenry.

That gag works better with Virtual PC, which actually has guest additions for MS-DOS.
I've got a Virtual PC VM somewhere that's got FreeDOS, WfW 3.11, the MS TCP/IP pack, and IE 5 for Win16. It all works.
That first link looks like the poster's talking about SB graphics, which I'm not using.
I suppose I'll just need to boot with a livecd and see for myself.
I've got an ATI card, so I don't care about Nvidia drivers.
I'm sufficiently unimpressed with 11.04 (and especially Unity) that I'm tempted to reinstall with LTS and keep at least until next year.
