Alternately whine to IT and HR^H^H whoever's in charge of IT until they let you on: You:"I run Linux. I tried to run your stupid program^H^H^H^H the client thing in Wine, but it didn't work. You're supposed to get the whole school online, fix it!"
The only big artist I know offering a similar level of quality is Nine Inch Nails. Even the small labels have hardly realised that they can offer a better product than CD for cheaper and insist on using MP3/WMA etc.
The masses have never heard of FLAC files. Hence, any label that tries to sell them will run into issues like "why won't my iPod play this?" and "why won't WMP play this?" Noone's ever heard of VLC either, so don't get hopeful.
Now, when you stand there and tell such a person to, for example, "go to www.slashdot.org", they will, without fail, proceed to type "www.slashdot.org" into the MSN search box.
Nope. In IE8 (7? not sure, but it sure isn't 6.) the default page (IIRC, YMMV) is an about: page which either describes how tabs work or asks you to set some settings for the first time. No search bar. That is just about the dumbest design ever, but it does prevent people putting URLs in the wrong place.
Next time you post a useless comment, could you at least make sure it contains the text "first post", optionally mutilated in some bizarre dialect of 1337?
That's funny, Mozilla and Apple on on the WHATWG but not MS. OTOH, if everyone's using them, why not document them so web developers can spend less time working on making their sites work with IE*.

Just make sure you don't warez the games.
Which is surprisingly easy to do: ~all games for Linux also run on (read:have been ported to) windoze; just grab games off the Ubuntu repos.
Client: Gee, thanks
Attorney: No problem. That will be £[insane amount of money].
Would you prefer the states seceding every time they disagree with what the Federal gov't does? That's what Jefferson had in mind (essentially).
How do you shout without a caps lock key?
Like this.
The keys are probably nonstandard and hence it should be annoying/impossible to persuade the OS to treat them as real keys, let alone remap them.

Couple this thing with a few femtosharks with frickin' femtolasers, and my high-efficiency evil lair will be complete.
There, fixed that for you.

The EU is considering it. This is very early in the game. Don't expect details; they still have to argue about those.
Win7 lets you remove iexplore.exe but not Trident's libraries (the rendering engine).
User:It won't type right; it just beeps! (happens to type the letter "i") oh there it goes. Now how do I save?
Tech support:Use gvim.

Better analogy: It's like comparing complex numbers. Is 2+3i > 3+2i?
I believe removing one's offspring from the gene pool still qualifies for a Darwin award under some circumstances.
If innocent bystanders are killed it's an automatic disqualification.

fscking occasionally is probably a good idea for (file)system stability...

then put the temp file in /tmp instead.
