A 9200 Mobility came in my Acer Aspire 2100 (i think thats the model) and is pretty shit hot. It will even play Doom3, although it is just on the border of reasonable. 9200 was the last version with OSS 3D acceleration.
Having said all of this I can't actually vouch for the 3D performance in Linux, I run Xinerama and 3D + Dual Screen don't work together (Infact Xinerama, pretty much is a PITA full stop so picky to set up etc), I boot to XP for gaming, which is the only option for faster cards than the 9200 anyway.
seems very good, I had my phone sync'ing with it at one point. It was pretty a case of the port on my laptop just working, after I modprobe'd and used the IRDA tools.
Because its a future power game, if apple iTunes is the _only_ place to get music in future (which is what they are hoping) then they can meet with the music execs and dictate terms.
If all music becomes legal and digital and online this situation does not seem too unlikely.
In the terms of service, it says something like "any host causing anoyance to others may have its internet access suspended or severely limited".
When a machine is seen to be sending spam or being a zombie, it's net access is either limited to only port 80, and every http access is sent to an ISP page explaining why thier net access has been revoced.
It should give them access to tools to un-mess up thier machine. the user can then press a button which will then make port 80 requests work normally again, and monitor attempted traffic going to other ports. if it's still a zombie/spammer the access is revoked again.
This will cost money, but it'll save money also because bandwidth costs will be saved both at that isp and others.
The data that is stored for determining if it is a zombie/spammer should be impossible to access (if possible) or very time limited so law enforcement can't use it for something it wasn't there for to keep civil liberties nice.
but the Moz/FF stronghold is geeks, we need to get it on non-geek platforms. I've told my dad, my friends, everyone to switch to FF, but I always say "if you have problems on such and such a site go back to IE for that one alone". not being able to use the site which is your bank, or do your weekly competition with the Times (this is my Dad) is not acceptable to the end user. Get them on FF as much as possible, but if its all or nothing with them, you'll prob get nothing.
For this reason I do broadly support the IE switching option, providing its like a button "Switch To IE" that would always render that (page/domain) in IE. Similar to the way "Allow Poppups works. This would solve the major problem of "I use IE because I often visit XYZ and FF doesn't support it".
Saying that a universal "Switch to IE rendering" option is going to be more damaging than helpful to FF.

GNOME comes with Metacity that has no "set background" option, its only in the menu. Aside from that the same thing configurable from different locations and different ways isn't a bad thing providing its sane, take copying a file (drag + drop or copy + paste).
Most KDE people complain that GNOME has no options for everything, your just that little bit different:-)
You can get a massive HDD for 40-60 quid, a "Sony" (or other vendor) tape will probably cost you 10-20 which you will probably have 3 of, but many will have more. I think many manufacturers will look at this and notice that they will make more money out of selling tapes.

It's hard to believe that the US is the most free society any more. You've let your government take away so much recently. Not that old blighty is better (infact worse).
I would put a country such as Holland above both of us however, But I don't follow thier politics half as much as US/UK
GNOME or KDE, had a quick scan but could not find out. SUSE was always KDE, but now its Novell who bought Ximian I'm guessings its mostly GNOME (if not all). Has anyone gleaned the answer, It says it uses (Novell) Evolution however this does not mean its a GNOME desktop as it's pretty popular in the KDE camp too.
I doubt they will unless you have a Power Mac G5 you get the most basic graphics chipsets available take a look at the iMac. 5200 Ultra is already 1.5 years old and while not terrible you are very much in the realms of "value" graphics.

Actually its very normal for large firms to outsource. Take Apple for instance who's lawyers are always getting them into trouble (sure apple don't stop them either which is why I think Apple are way more evil than MS, who by inlarge dont tend to do that sortof shit)

I don't think fair use is impacted by this. The implications of that are very very draconian,

Still fair use, You can't claim that because search engines exist that this thing becomes wrong. Heck If you can't ask favourite game incase of offending game company (offend Nintendo), you can't ask favourite film (offend Disney), you can't ask favourite food (offend McDonalds) or even city of residence (councils can sue too) (Offend everyone that lives there). Where does it stop! Shit you can't play whack a mole with Freedom (we in the UK do that far too much).
But dies very promptly on my Laptop (which is fully supported (bar possibly the model) under Linux. Not that I'm bitching but they still have some work to do.
WTF you say, I have an Philips Aurilium sound card, which it seems is both a soundcard and a keyboard (the knob on it sends a Vol+/- keypress to the computer that then alters the volume), A USB keyboard and a keyboard on my laptop. X11 is already not liking this fact (and the whole soundcard seems to stop working when the keyboard in the soundcard doesn't get picked up correctly). Does anyone else have problems like this?
Going back on topic, is this thing another god damn keyboard! and if so how on earth are you supposed to configure X11 for this insane setup.
Shit I can't help thinking with such wierdness a static text based configuration file is good enough.
Getting someone to vote only for the free lottery ticket could be a bad thing, person doesn't have a clue about policies, person doesn't listen to news, person doesn't even know who they are, put X in random box pick up free lottery ticket!

Yeh, Might be thinking about doing (in discussions) something could enable somebody, if they wish to copy games........
