I recall the Amiga working that way. input.device was the highest priority task in the system. I may, however, recall incorrectly, it was a long time ago.
I don't think that Microsoft wants to extinguish Linux. In my opinion, the new "Microsoft Loves Linux" future looks like this:
Linux VMs running under Azure (Microsoft gets paid) Linux running under Windows (Microsoft gets paid) Android (Microsoft gets paid under those questionable patent threats)
Linux won't be extinguished, it will live on under Microsoft's guidance, as they get paid handsomely for it.
Once the tolls are automated, the tolls can be increased more frequently and with less outrage from the motorists. Of course the politicians like the idea. They'll sell the idea on convenience, and then soak people later.
Don't mistake that for years in production. They have a LOT of season breaks. Not sure why, they seem to be at about 100 shows or so, 10 shows per season. The Linux Link Tech Show is at episode 340 or so, and still on their first season.
>>Aren't we all sick of the same old crap we get from the two inbred parties yet? If not - well - I've heard that people get the government that they deserve.
The problem is that *I* get the government that they deserve!
I was 72638,1421, but that was the second time around. I initially had an account sometime account 82/83 with my Vic-20. Racked up a HUGE bill, and got the plug pulled by my folks after a single month. I wish I knew what that original ID was. It took a long time to convince them to allow me to use the phone to call local BBSs after that.
Yes, Verizon gave me a contract without my SSN. I went to them because AT&T required that I give them my SSN. I challenged them to do the credit check without it, or drop the order. They dropped the order. I guess they don't need my business.
- Gimp is *not* Photoshop. Sorry. I know I mentioned this, but I'll repeat it again. You insult people who actually use Photoshop by making this claim.
Nothing will ever be Photoshop but Photoshop. Anything else will be different in some way, and will not have the same level of support. If what you need is Photoshop, and nothing else, fine, but keep this in mind.
1) You will never have an alternative, you will run on the platforms that they support, with the features that they want to give you. 2) You will pay whatever they demand, forever. (Or pirate, if your conscience will bear it)
People need to try new things to see if it works for them, and if it suits their needs. If you cannot change, pay up, Adobe and Microsoft will love you for it.
I had a 770, but dropped it just the right way to shatter the screen. This despite the hard plastic cover. I just waited for the right price on the n810 to replace it.
You're missing the point. Some bands just aren't touring bands, like the Beatles post 1966......... Should they be denied the right to make money for their music?
I think that you may be missing the point. If a band doesn't want to tour, fine, they have 14 years (for example) to make all the money that they want off of their work. After that, the copyright expires. That doesn't mean that they can no longer sell their music. It just means that they lose the exclusive rights to it. If someone else wants to include their songs on "Greatest Hits of 14 years ago" they can no longer sue for copyright infringement. That's all. They can still sell albums, or maybe get together again and do some new material. They're not being denied the right to make money at all.
I would feel the data would be useful if broken down into at least two broad categories:
1. All uses of Linux.
2. Users who knowingly and purposely choose Linux as their OS of choice. Presumably this would be a subset of data from #1 and would useful for consumer application developers. I would also like to see Windows statistics broken down similarly, but they never are. Most people do not make a "knowing and purposeful" choice about thier operating system.

I'll start with Ubuntu and Fedora. Seems like a strange question, all of them do, with the exception of distros that have been dropped.

They've done so much bad over the years, there is no one thing that will change that perception.
If they do things that prove out to be in good faith for a length of time, maybe they can change it.
Maybe 10 years? Otherwise, thoughtful people will view them with skepticism, and those less so will scream "monopoly, or EEE"

That would be irrational.

Check out RideTrac for Android. Works great for me.
I like the idea of it, but I don't really use the big music organizing programs.

Not as high on production quality, but live every week, with great guests and informative conversation. http://tllts.org/
If this leaves a waxy buildup...on anything......
I doubt that you (and I) represent enough of a market to make it worth their while.
I would not count on this behavior changing. Microsoft has no incentive to work well with other operating systems.

No recurring fees, I just picked one up for $222.

I was seriously thinking about it, but $450 for the base model with WiFi in October is awful steep, though.
When the last version of Debian was new, wasn't that current hardware?
