Given the US recent track record on torture and the probability that he will be tried in a military court it should be fairly easy to get his extradition cancelled.
Seriously, name me a country that hasn't be accused of doing something shady in the last 10 years, and I'll show you a misinformed opinion. India? HA. Canada? Even admitted to it, and gave the guy some money to say sorry. Britain? WOW, Big Brother never does anything wrong. Any latin american countries? Why even bother? Anywhere in eastern europe? Nope. France? Lets talk about burkas and immigration. Italie? again, seriously? The middle east?... well, I guess techincally they're being run by the americans as well...
Or, if you want to take the view that the servers were on US soil, why have people posting to US servers been prosecuted in Britain for hate speech? You can't have it both ways.
Obviously, you can. Did you really believe that britain and the US would sleep together for so long, and not have any attachment?
You want me to take advice from someone who thought Music was a good choice for post-secondary education?
At least in the programming world, you have a chance at making some money even if you're not famous or exceptionally skilled. It is no wonder you switched... the big question is "Why did you have to? Was your original program choice that bad?"
Which brings me to my original point. How much could you really 'know' if you thought music was a viable option?
Your post says a lot about your family dynamics...
What are you, Jewish? Asian? [Insert other offensive racial stereotype here]?
Family helps Family for free. It's called being related, not being retarded. I'm pretty sure your parents spent more raising your arrogant little behind than you could ever repay by doing the occasional reformat. It isn't like reformatting/reinstalling is difficult, ESPECIALLY with windows 7 (and vista)... just start it up, let it run for awhile and then go online for driver updates through WU.
I suppose you make your family repay you for christmas gifts? And long distance minutes? Seriously, grow up.
This in particular seems like a solution in search of a problem to me. Especially since on a 64 bit distro pretty much everything, with very few exceptions is 64 bit. In fact I don't think 64 bit distributions contain any 32 bit software except for closed source that can't be ported, and compatibility libraries for any applications the user would like to install manually. So to me there doesn't seem to be a point to try to solve a problem that exists less and less as the time passes and proprietary vendors make 64 bit versions of their programs.
EXACTLY! We don't want choice, we want it to just work! Damnit, force people to do things the way they ought to do them, don't give them choice, they'll just screw it up.
Lots of people use their laptop as their only machine.
... lots of people don't actually run with the big dogs, ever. They think they should have the capacity, just in case. In order to prepare for this extremely unlikely eventuality, they spend way too much money for way too much power, thus encouraging companies like intel to produce even higher end chips... and ignore (until recently) the low-end segment that will satisfy the majority of users.
Even if a computer is extremely capable... the most people with powerful machines do is brag about how wonderful iLife is..
If this were true, why do integrated graphics persist? Ohhh... perhaps there are people who choose another boat (Either the "I'm too cheap" rowboat of thrift, or "I prefer battery life" yacht of longitivity.)
Yes, we must stop people from informing themselves with the relevant issues. If they were to make informed decisions about court cases, how will the RIAA make money off file sharers?
The fire-venting batteries are a feature, designed to injure people who have second thoughts about their overly-expensive, totally-under-featured apple products.
Wow, that's fairly amero-centric. The USA is the only country in the 1st-world that allows for drug companies to undertake marketing directly to the consumer.
The USA has the highest (%age) of prescription drug usage in the modern world.
That's an odd correlation, but not particularly surprising.
For apple products, when the mantra is "It just works"... and the software is built on a very small number of in-house designed products, it shouldn't be the customer's fault.
Take windows (or linux) - if you can't get something to work correctly, or the wrong drivers/settings fry your hard drive from parking the head incorrectly (or whatever), then you can blame the customer. But when apple designs the product, from start to finish, it should very rarely be the customer's fault, especially when in normal usage.
Normal usage, you ask? In my world, normal usage means occasionally (very infrequently) leaving a laptop on inside a case, and expecting it *not* to fry because of poor thermal design. It also involves getting the occasional splash of liquid on my gadgets. And, you know, keeping my phone in my pants, where it will heat up if it isn't designed properly.
Normal usage is *not* exploding batteries, exceptionally short lived LCDs or GPUs that don't live long unless the fan is on full speed, all the time. And when these thing occur, I expect (and have always received) good support from my hardware vendor.
And no, I do not buy apple. Sure, they have great warranty service... if you buy the applecare. But I can get that sort of extended warranty from almost any vendor - The difference? Those vendors don't have retail locations like apple.
Yes, apple did get the youtube working reasonably well properly on the SECOND revision of the air. I wonder if the adamo comes with the same power saving feature? (turning off randomly...)

Justice would mean him being tried in the UK, just like any other UK citizen.
Yeah, because the UK does an excellent job protecting the rights of their citizens.

anyways, glass houses and rocks don't mix.
Your idiotic comments make me want to shoot myself. Would that be my fault, or yours? Does it matter if I have a predisposition to hating idiots?

Especially when that choice makes things EASY!
If this is the big-box hit that the first 3 star wars were ... do I get some sort of cut for my 15 seconds of fame? I mean, that'll still be tonnes!

Even if a computer is extremely capable
I understand diversifying is important, but where is the new tech for that more middle of the road work load?
Yes, someone should invent a pentium/celeron/AMD/core solo market.
I think most people are in the same boat.
If this were true, why do integrated graphics persist? Ohhh... perhaps there are people who choose another boat (Either the "I'm too cheap" rowboat of thrift, or "I prefer battery life" yacht of longitivity.)
Propaganda 101: exaggerate and ascribe claims to those you disagree with so that you can easily knock them down. Ex. Death Panels.
What does this have to do with the parent?
However, as a complete distro, it suddenly requires package maintainers and much more support overhead. In that regard, Moblin seems to fall short
I suppose if you want to install moblin on everything, then yes. It falls short. Why would you want to do so? Did you need your fridge to run moblin?
It seems clear to me, If you install it on netbooks, the support will be excellent, given that it is designed for netbooks.
Wonderful! It's the year of the linux netbook ... long live 2007 and the eee 701!.
Euh, I mean, 2009! With Moblin!
I speak AAVE, you insensitive clod!
Yes, we must stop people from informing themselves with the relevant issues. If they were to make informed decisions about court cases, how will the RIAA make money off file sharers?
That's a pretty small sample size. I would also believe that the type of person that would submit such data is probably not running vista.
The fire-venting batteries are a feature, designed to injure people who have second thoughts about their overly-expensive, totally-under-featured apple products.
Seems to me, the best products don't need advertising. The ones that don't sell themselves need others to run around selling them instead.
If that's the case, why does apple do so much marketing?
... oh. wait.
Wow, that's fairly amero-centric. The USA is the only country in the 1st-world that allows for drug companies to undertake marketing directly to the consumer.

Seriously. And there is lots of good canadian music. And even if you disagree, they can just play that 10% at 3am-5am ...
... I don't get it. Shouldn't she have bruises or something? :P

I completely understand this post. Perhaps not the ones previous, but this post - yes.
They're competing in a market filled with people BUYING MACBOOK AIRs. They don't need to be intelligent. They just need to look expensive.
