I think all torrent sites should 2-way encrypt all their search results (meaning the titles, descriptions, etc..) and put a statement up that says decrypting is not allowed. Then have "hackers" make a firefox addon that automatically decrypts the text on torrent sites. Everybody (except MIAA/RIAA) starts using the addon. The MIAA/RIAA can't use the addon because that would violate their own laws can be sued for breaking encryption.
we can be sure that Linux is the most used on servers (of all types, not just web servers) and in embedded devices. I have purchased at least 2 items (Sony ebook reader and dlink home san) that I had no idea were running Linux. I would venture to guess that many people are running Linux somewhere in their home without even knowing it.
I recently switched to Ubuntu (from running other versions of Linux on my main home computer since 2000) and I have to say it is quite nice. I use WIndows at work because that's what we're told to run. I honestly don't understand why people like you exist that find Linux to be so absolutely terrible. At home I have a laser printer, scanner, webcam, gps, sony ebook reader, digital camera, digital video camera and wireless. All these things work on my Linux boxes and I have no problems with them. I am very productive with Linux.
If it were actually true that MS forced you to switch to IE8, even temporarily until you switch back to FF, that would be major news! But as seems to be the case here, the author is just making shit up.
"Wii, PS2, and PSP"... hmm... they are obviously just going for the biggest market since those consoles basically rule all (well, DS should be in the list). XBOX 360 and PS3 just don't have the numbers it seems. The "development costs" excuse is bullshit.
The LHC was activated successfully and they run it every night, replicating the conditions of the big bang. The big news they are not telling us is that when they open that rift in time and space, something calling itself "god" is in communication with them. The "oh, it doesn't work" story is just a cover.
Won't be long before the anti-popup firefox plugins can detect css-based popup and allow you to disable them as well. Only problem is they can't be disabled across the board because it would break a lot of the "web2.0" functionality of websites.
SD cards that are higher than 2Gig are SDHC and most older devices do no support them. Before you get rid of your old cards, make sure your devices can handle SDHC cards.
I am a Linux user who also likes to play 3D games, so it's been nvidia only for me for a long time. Now that we will hopefully start seeing some good open source 3D drivers coming out for ATI, I am definitely switching! I just hope nvidia realizes this and follows. So many times after a system software or kernel upgrade, poof, the closed nvidia driver stops working... causing me to have to CTRL-ALT-F1 to a root shell and modify xorg.conf just so I can get into X11 again to be able to fetch the newest driver. What a pain. Having open source 3D drivers for both would be awesome and a complete win for the Linux community.
And where exactly would a person use a keyboard and mouse in their living room? Certainly not on their lap. Probably the only choice is to pull up your coffee table and crouch over to use the controls. Highly awkward to say the least. This is the reason PC gaming will never die. Some games can only comfortably be played at your computer desk.
Sure these might just be "scamware"... but I beat them at their own game by installing all 5 of the mentioned programs. The combined power is sure to be effective even if one alone is not!
It was really cool for about half a year at the beginning as I built all kinds of things, but then I just fell away from it and now only occasionally check in to see what's new. The game really has progressed since when I started.
Gone are all the casino's, pedophilia sex areas and ad farms. The place seems a lot less populated now as well. I never see anyone in my neighborhood anymore.

2) Provide some need that Windows just can't/won't fulfill
Freedom.
I have no idea, never tried iTunes. I prefer Amarok.

Wasn't my experience either. I upgraded my home machines and my office computer to IE8 and do not recall that it became my default browser.
I switched to Linux on my home desktop computers back in 2000... haven't looked back. Sorry MS.

Everybody email accounts@stockart.com and support@stockart.com to tell them how you feel. You can also call 1.800.297.7658.
Now we can pay $20/game to play games we can otherwise download on our computers for free?!
If you thought Erwise was the first graphical Web browser, think again.
Wow, I didn't think Obama could fix the economy so quickly! Yay, jobs for everone!

The whole notion of usable wireless electricity smells to me of perpetual motion.
I think the Wii has a huge untapped potential for x-rated adult games with special "attachments". Why are we not seeing these materialize?
I guess this means my plans for a terrorist network group on facebook is not going to work?

I administrate about 20 linux servers (debian and RHEL) and nothing happened. All are running fine. It's just you.
