Interesting. I tested this thing out last night, without any problems. It works incredibly well btw. I have Adblock enabled, and never thought to disable it. Maybe only some people are having this trouble?
I have a site that simply will not render properly on IE4 on the PC, but on WM2K5 using p(ocket)IE/IE4 it works fine. It does move some stuff around and ignore some elements depending on what view you have selected. But for the most part it does a pretty good job.
We desperately need to combine a sane border policy with an extensive guest worker program. The current administration does not understand this.
Funny that you mention a border policy and a guest worker program, Bush said as much when he was out here in Arizona prior to the Holidays. That being said, I'm disappointed he's not pushed harder for more talks about a guest worker program.
"or lazy? Why hunt through p2p networks when itunes has it right there?"
Soo true. Exactly the reason I use iTunes. I am too lazy/busy to hunt through p2p apps, filter out bad files, etc. Paying $0.99 for a song by clicking once on a "buy" button is damn handy. It really has nothing to do with being scared by the RIAA, or having higher morals... it's just easier...
Is this something particular to KDE? I dunno I've never used it. Maybe it's something already "fixed" in my distro? I've been using RH, and now Fedora, since RH 5. As far as I can remember sounds in applications has been one of the (few) things that has just worked the way I expected without fiddling.
"did nobody have any right to say that Sony should not include a rootkit in the software"
You're comparing apples to oranges here. The difference with Daemon Tools is that it gives you an option to not install additional software and when you tell it no thanks that is the end of it. In the case of Sony's rootkit however there was no option to not install this extra software. The problem most people have with this is not that the software was there in the first place, but that the installer used vague wording to conceal what will actually be installed and if you told it not to install the software it did it anyway.
"Does nobody have the right to say that Microsoft Windows should be better quality?"
Yes. With your pocket book. You may be able to do the same with Daemon Tools. The author is obviously looking for some kind of compensation for untold hours of hard labor. Why not make a donation for the days, weeks, years of use you got out of it? Alternatively, as someone else suggested, why not ask the author to make a paid version instead of including extra software? Just because it's free does not make it afraid of money.
I know a lot of people still boycott Wired for that shit they pulled a while back (sending out unrequested subscriptions, then sending the bills to a collection agency), so here's a mirror
Does it still count as a boycott if you copy and paste the article? Is that not akin to boycotting Disney, for example, only to look over someone's shoulder to watch [insert rehashed movie here]? You did not [buy the movie/see the ads on the site], but you're still propagating their presence in the marketplace.
Why not do it the opposite way? Customer calls tech support, goes through a few basic questions to direct them to the right department if neccessary, then they enter their phone number and hang up.
Because an inbound 45 minute call is cheaper than a 10 minute outbound long distance call.

We've currently got a communication standard that works between nations, tcp/ip.

"many slashbots trash corporations for creating genetically modified foods yet they see absolutely no problem creating genetically modified people."
Not me... I'm wondering when I can have my very own cross-bred human-boar to go with my mutated large corn for a super GM BBQ!! Yum yum!
Maybe an itunes-killer

Microsoft started their attempt at an iTunes killer app with their Urge music service http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/01/05

Yup. Tetris
Thank you for the standard PORT80 non-coral cache link!

You use the umbrella trick too? I thought I was the only one...
O'Reilly books are great, but when you run out of shelf space http://safari.oreilly.com/ works just as well.
What's dialup?

I guess files we used to be able to get won't be there anymore?

Will "ass-hattery" be cited in the final petition text? If so sign me up!
I'd rather see every country with their own root servers
Yes! The best idea I've read so far. Skip all the international talks. No one is going to agree anyway!

It is not welcome. Linux is about Open Source, and allowing people to link-in binary closed drivers goes against this.
I thought Linux was about choice?
