I take it you don't use Photoshop and don't commute to work on a train or bus which may require you to use said program or that you may want to play games on the way back to blow off a bit of steam and with trains having mains supplies batteries aren't an issue.
Some systems should naturally accept ISBN for people with old books looking for info but there is no reason for people to be using ISBN-10 on new books.
I dunno what you're running and why you can't do it in the GUI but everything has pretty much worked straight away for me in Ubuntu (wireless and graphics). Yes I do need to enabled restricted drivers but there is a GUI option to do so.
Ubuntu has been the best for me. It works out of the box where as Fedora still gives me the missing cursor BS when I install it. But even that can be sorted without the console. It just takes forever since I'm not sure where my mouse is pointing.
Then you have the cry babies who have to bitch to the FCC over every little thing. But if you actually mention that there's an off switch, somehow, you're the moron.
Jesus told them to start a crusade over words that didn't exist in Jesus' time. They're allowed to guess what he considers a swear word and then make sure no one says it.
For you see being a hard-core Christian is like being a hungry hungry hippo and all the sinners are the white balls. If you want to make it into the most exclusive part of heaven (because no one in heaven is equal, there are levels) then you have to be the hungriest hippo and consumer the most white balls (ie save the most sinners). Otherwise Jesus will put you in hell for allowing people to have freedom of choice.
I don't know how it works. I don't I've had to deal with them but I'm sure tons of people of people too stupid to use Windows insist MS sold them something broken and expect them to fix it for them.
All day people have to hold things in because saying something that might be a little wrong will land you in a ton of shit.
The internet is one of the last places (for now) that you can truly express yourself and vent and the fact they have to save it up all for the net means it comes out worse than it would.
If society would quit stepping on people's freedom of speech then they wouldn't have to become so angry online.
At least they can't hurt anyone online so who really cares?
True having zero accountability and only unelectable people would probably lead to a dictatorship which would likely lead to something that's not favourable to most but like anything it's a case of not going to either extreme.
The UK has a situation where it sort of has both extremes and, imo, when you do that the unaccountable ones will always win out in the end because the Lords are human too and have the same needs as the rest of us. Having the threat looming over that they could lose that position probably helps but relying on people within power that are 100% accountable to the public through election would end up in some sort of pro Daily Mail government that bases its laws on Littlejohn, the immigrant, with anti immigrant rubbish rants and other laws based on rubbish the common masses read from the guy who sits comfortably in Florida.
It's unfortunate but most people aren't capable of voting in their best interests. In an ideal world Reagan's trickle-down economics were correct if you'd rework them to make them less extreme. It's a fine balance that needs constant adjustment to ensure no one gets too much power.
That's where the problem lies. To get things right requires constant thought and evaluation. People don't want that. They want to press a button and then it's sorted but that won't happen ever. Constant fluctuation to keep people on their toes and thinking is uncool and will never win. The house of common / house of lords setup, as it's currently working, is probably the best people will get.
Well to be fair the UK's House of Lords is an unelected body that holds no accountability to anyone and they've looked out for the "average Joe" way more than the elected and accountable house of commons.
You'd be surprised how honest people can be when their job doesn't rely on what the average dimwit thinks.
It's much higher than what than on the desktop market. In fact it's larger than Mac & Linux combined on desktops so I would call it a success. The only reason it's not larger is companies wussed out and started offering XP. However, as far as I can remember the EEE wasn't exactly unpopular before XP came out on it.
I think it's a case of companies not wanting to pay for support (with XP they probably go to MS for help) and they lack confidence to keep at it.
What do people do with netbooks that really need Windows? Gaming is pretty much out of the question and let's face it the system is too small to be a main system so how many apps do you really need on it and that can't be found on Linux?
Seriously, it's this kind of mentality that makes me think I'll never move back to the US.
Olberman is doing more to try to fix the US than any of his counterparts. In fact all of those people have more dignity than some others.
Fox news has done so much to damage the new media but some people love it because it's like watching Jerry Springer and it makes news fun and who doesn't want their wars to be fun?
Getting your patriotism and your foreigner hating propaganda from an immigrant owned news media really makes sense. Murdoch only became a citizen so he could own a TV station and fill the airwaves with his cheap trailer trash media. He's everything that his news station tells rednecks to fear and he's becoming rich from it. He's clearly having a laugh at his viewer's expense.
What I mean is there are a lot of people that don't think he should be president because he's a Muslim as if that disqualifies you. These people are typically the very patriotic type unless you're not like them then the Bill of Rights and constitution don't apply.
Of course religious freedom doesn't give you the right to stone people or sacrifice people. But just as Muslims have extremists, the US has a certain segment of Christians or just plain old flag wavers that are becoming extreme too.
The Muslim religion and America are being hurt by extremists and I think in both cases the moderates aren't doing enough to silence the nut cases.
Personally I never wore flag pins because pins are for retards, imo. That doesn't mean I like my country any less. The fact people would have to question me would imply they're insecure about their own patriotism.
One of the least patriotic and disrespectful things people can do is to tear the country apart into little groups, holding muslim witch hunts and constantly testing your fellow man's patriotism.
Just the fact this country has freedom of religion, these anti-Muslim idiots are being very unpatriotic by trying to suppress someone's freedoms based on their religion.
The names are very similar. Both are about working in a cloud. One is purely download files from a "cloud" and one is for obtaining blue screens and viruses from a "cloud".
Secondly, who is to say Vuze isn't going to their cloud downloading system into a cloud computing system in the future? There will be confusion among the trademarks.
Had the roles been reversed you could pretty much guarentee MS would fight this. If they stick with that name then Vuze should fight it.
You have to remember it's not what your opinion of what Azureus that matters it's what they've filed in their trademark application and upon checking the Azureus trademarks covers a lot more.
It is a real word.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vuze
"Vuze was first released in June 2003 at SourceForge.net as Azureus. The Blue Poison Dart Frog (Dendrobates azureus) was chosen as the logo and named by co-creator Tyler Pitchford. This choice was due to Latin names of poison dart frogs being used as codenames for his development projects."
The Wii versions of Zelda and mario are excellent (Mario more so) but while they're enjoyable, worth buying and feel quality they do feel a bit like someone who's played the same character for decades and is just going through the motions.
They're lacking a bit of the excitement you used to get from the series.
He has come up with new franchises. Pikmin, Nintendogs, most of the Wii titles, like that new music game, but, despite their success, they don't get remembered the way Mario or Link does. It's hard for one successful game to compete against a series that's been successful for decades.

Yeah but it does mean there's a pretty good chance it's bullshit or at the least the truth stretched further than it ever should be.
Of course not, obviously O'Reilly thought of it first.

You'd be surprised how honest people can be when their job doesn't rely on what the average dimwit thinks.
... which is an excellent argument against electing judges.
True.
Having 3 equal groups within a government and one that isn't accountable to the uneducated masses works best. It keeps thing balanced.
True having zero accountability and only unelectable people would probably lead to a dictatorship which would likely lead to something that's not favourable to most but like anything it's a case of not going to either extreme.

Maybe it's cclonlone.com's user base but while waiting to purchase one the Linux versions were always going faster.
Even if I wanted XP I'd get the Linux version and then install Windows on it to get the extra storage.
Team America - Fuck Yeah!

Agreed. No one complains about their DVR hard drives because hard drives themselves aren't that loud.
The best way to silence a computer would be to find a way to cool it without fans and remove the DVD drive.
You could probably get a fair amount for something like that and then I could that money for something useful like coke and whores.

I'm fine with doing away with income tax completely.
It supports everything include Sametime.

By your logic most of the arcade games of the early 80's aren't games either.
