Okay, I don't want to be annoying, but if I'm not completely wrong, this is actually the fifth userfriendly book, after "User Friendly", "Evil Geniuses In A Nutshell", "The Root Of All Evil" and "Userfriendly v1.0"...
to me, the following conditions would be rather important:
1) no DRM. hardly anyone is going to pay for restricted music. 2) good quality. don't sell 128k MP3s, they just sound terrible. for MP3 use at least 192kbps. if this is too much, use OGG. 3) don't lock out the whole non-us world, like apple did.

it's "testing" or "unstable", NOT "untested" - and of course a debian installation which is soon to be "stable" won't add "testing" (or "unstable") sources to apt!
you're sort of right (that thought just passed my mind after posting). biometric information on the card would be good idea, especially eye scans which are rather tough to fake. the current "you should look sort of like the photograph on your card" method isn't really great, but it might prevent the 2 meter 150 kg guy from stealing your identity. this is probably why my banks usually want both, my id card AND personal information whenever i don't have my customer card handy.
however, every kind of id card has one BIG benefit - you'll notice when they get stolen and you can inform the police and your banks, so, i think, when something 'happens' you should be more or less out of responsibility.
as non-us citizen i wonder how anyone can steal your identity. is this another symptom of not having a national id card? i mean, over here you need your id card whenever you open a bank account, when you get your drivers licence (or any other legal document) and, well, actually whenever you do ANYTHING 'critical'... inform me, please! is it enough to know someone's personal details to steal his identity in the u.s.?
i always found it to be a pain in the ass to have those binary nvidia drivers - i hope matrox will keep on shipping theirs with the default kernel and XF86
remember the c64 tape drives? you could actually put your programs on a normal audio tape. well, THAT was great (every operation took about a year, but who cares?)
with medicine advancing, people become more disabled all the time. everybody needs glasses, a lot of people suffer from diseases like asthma and from overweight.
all these are changes which would normally be erased by evolution, however, with our current medical situation you don't have any real disadvantages.
eventually the whole human race will be suffering from all those "disabilities" because evolution won't eliminate them. and this is where we need to take action.
we should be able to remove those "you are almost blind", "you can hardly breathe" and "you get fat" genes in order to compensate evolution. this will be the only way to survive in the long term without going back to "kill the weak" which would be terrible (and, i guess, a lot of us would be among the "weak").

indeed. i just had to adjust the display preferences. annoying idiots...
How about actually reading the title? LGP != GPL
On the bottom of the netcraft report you can see an OS history of www.sco.com - apparently they switched from SCO UNIX to Linux in August 2002...
... that just ignoring SCO works best for me. No reason for high blood pressure, no crisis anywhere, just a bunch of idiots.

funny thing is, in some swiss dialects, "geiss" (swiss-german for goat) is pronounced exactly like "gates" without the t, sort of like "gayss"...
why does anyone care? they can't sue anyone without showing the "proof", so just relax and don't care. and stop writing stories about it.
from a country where the RIAA can f*ck themselves...

yes, they do think so.

Nope, the worst thing that can happen is a huge army of idiots online with their X-Boxes acting as a global DDoS community...
good point :)
(it's not obvious on the pcworld.com website - but i know, i should have noticed those extra words when i clicked the link)
they didn't wait for mozilla 1.0. netscape 7.0 is based on some release candidate, i guess. strange...

hehe, funny (sorry, can't moderate)
and there are the ones the car cd player kills and those which have lost their cases and are waiting for news ones and so on.
i know, it's not the whole season, but you can actually get Kojak DVDs - check http://www.universal-playback.com/series/kojak.htm
