That's the initial reason i switched to Linux. Neither the motherboard sound nor my creative Live soundcard worked at all. On Linux It Just Worked(tm).
exactly, the only way to not permit returns of defective product is to prominently state AS IS when the user buys it. And not just buried in a 'return policy' document. The product must have an AS IS sticker, or there must be a large plaque next to the goods that lets the user know.
Part of the requirement of licensing the public airwaves is that they are available to the public in an emergency. If Verizon is unwilling to uphold this requirement for use of the public airwaves, then they deserve to have their license to use those airwaves revoked. We are not talking about private property, we are talking about a service that Verizon can only provide due to a license from the people, the FCC, and the government, to use the public airwaves. It is their duty and legal responsibility to use these airwaves to help in public emergency, and they failed to uphold this, why should this behavior be tolerated on the public's airwaves.
I have quicktime movies from 1993 that still play just fine now, and MP4s have been playable on just about any system for the past 3-4 years... Are you sure the popularity of embedded flash players had more to do with the fact that they forbid the user from downloading, thus providing highly effective copy protection?
Yeah, but most operating systems shit broken codec wise, due to patent claims.
um... you can just go to/tmp and your flash videos are right there, copy that file and your done. Windows has its own folders for tmp but is probably the same thing.
your should also realize that sourceforge is the owner of slashdot. This potential CoI should have been stated in the lead. Sourceforge does not want to give up its immunity, however it should at least make note that the takedown was due to the DMCA, rather than just saying "Invalid project"
Does sourceforge (slashdot's partner site) publish DMCA requests to chilling effects. Allow, I am highly disappointed that it just says "Invalid project" instead of saying that it was removed per the DMCA. Learn something from google sourceforge!
False , you can refuse everyone access to your place, including the cop, even with a warrant. If he has a valid warrant he doesn't need your permission, so by gving it to him you are only waiving your rights.
You can refuse your landlady too, and that landlady cannot enter your private domicile until he or she evicts you, or you cancel your lease/rental. The fireman can only enter if it is a public place (it is not), or if there is imminent danger (as in actual fire), but otherwise cannot enter while it is your place of residence.

dnsmasq, avalable in most distrobutions, is a light weight dns server that you can tell the ips of bogus NXDomain sends and will turn them back to what they should be. You can also point your computers to level3's free dns service at 4.2.2.3 4.2.2.4 4.2.2.5 4.2.2.6
the way mentioned is good and i use it, but for something a little more robust you can also just map the mac address on your dhcp server so it always get the same ip, doesnt work with a POS router however.
thats why as soon as Openoffice.org figured out the current.doc format (the format has completely changed while keeping the same extention) Microsoft decided to release a new "open" format aimed solely at increasing the lock-in.

Why shops at retail stores for electronics anymore?
aww yeah? put that in your pipe and smoke it!
Microsoft slapped with $1.52 billion payout in MP3 suit
They shouldn't have to pay someone else's ticket, it's the public's airwaves for crying out loud.

Instant-runoff voting
The most rational system created. Makes politicians nice to each other. No spoiling. Great reform for the electoral system.
Yeah, but only Linux comes with Linux Genuine Advantage(TM)

this has been around for a while
sad they don't put any technical details, like weather they are using coreboot

To this day Ubuntu will not run on any non intel AMD chipset.
not true. I have a Nvidia nforce AMD phenom chipset and it works great out of the box, and was quite new when i got it.
This is what Linux truly needs. Alot of anti Microsoft users are switching to Macs which ends up hurting Linux on anything but servers.
MS users switching to Mac does not hurt Linux. OSX supports X11, POSIX, OpenGL, etc.. by default. It is UNIX and can coexist much better.
the way mentioned is good and i use it, but for something a little more robust you can also just map the mac address on your dhcp server so it always get the same ip, doesnt work with a POS router however.
/etc/networking/interfaces
for example/description of simple syntax: man interfaces
then uninstall network-manager: apt-get remove network-manager
then to make it take effect: ifdown eth0; ifup eth0
thats why as soon as Openoffice.org figured out the current .doc format (the format has completely changed while keeping the same extention) Microsoft decided to release a new "open" format aimed solely at increasing the lock-in.
so if i rip a page out of a book I own i am committing copyright infringement? give me a break.
This is against the settlement. It has to ask before setting its self as default. More Microsoft bullshit.
