Too bad people stopped releasing packages for it as a major desktop distro in the 2-3 years in between. Between the effort the Debian team does, the effort the Ubuntu team doeas, and the fact that both often get pre-built packages from projects, or at the very least, special compile directions, it will take another distro getting the support of Ubuntu before I am ready to switch again . It may be behind Mandriva and SUSE now, but it is ahead of where they were when I stopped using Linux, and for me ahead of OSX and Windows (hardware price over OSX and pakage availability over both).
When I as using Mandrake I found the removable drive thing would often lock-up requiring a reboot to fix, in Ubuntu it works great (though with 3 years to improve it probably works great everywhere).
Windows costs about 15-20/year, I give about $10/year to each Debian and Ubuntu, and a little bit to other projects. Paying $60/year for limited access to the Free software version of only 32-bit Mandrake me to them, and it will be hard to make me switch back. Based on their dropping out of the American Linux conscious I doubt I am alone.
I know I stopped using Mandriva (still Mandrake) when I realized after 2 years in their club at the basic level I was paying more than for Windows (by far) a still couldn't get the 64-bit download. I ended up not using Lnux for a while, then went SUSE 10 (when Novell started making ISO downloads available again), and now use Ubuntu as my only desktop.
I bet the popularity loss had to do with the requirement to join their club for ISO's with quick downloads.
This is just plain right out SICK! How can this be tolerated? I expect this from Fidel Castro and Mao Tse Tung, but not to be tolerated with american politicians. You do realize who owns all business in communism, right?
You see, a lot of people live here. And we need things. Food. Shower curtains. The new Arcade Fire CD. We buy these things from stores. Where do you think the stores get them? That's right. From trucks.
I would think delivery vehicles directly support the community.
And don't people who live in NYC have just as easy access to public transit as those in NJ?
I use google local a lot. I use it in place of the business white pages more than the yellow pages though.
for example the search super fresh, 19711 in the google search box turns up an address and phone sumber far faster than looking up super fresh and then guessing the right address. It also gives a map that doesn't exist in the phone book.
I can wake up my sleeping computer and do this much quicker than the alphabet.
Another search that took me a long time to get the correct catagory in the phone book is for someone to fix my broken car window. A quick search for mobile glass repair, <zip cod> gets e started.
Things with an obvious yellow page category like hardware are probably easier in the yellow pages.
Where in dogs name do you get this info from that the monitors are disposable
On an iMac the monitor is disposable (unless I am missing something).
you can't browse the net or buy software?
On OS 10.3.x you have a crappy unsupported web browser. And most software that runs on Intel Macs does not run on it either. OS 10.3 was not that old when it started to become a problem.
But I know I read something by him when talking about mass being measure of inertia, and it begs the question of what causes inertia. I couldn't find it in book search, and then jumped the gun on being link eager with another quote, in a book that came up with author as Isaac Newton.
For someone making money using it creative suite is quite a reasonable price ($1800 + $600 every 18 months). It is about the same price as a computer, and close in price on to a good printer.
The people not making money off of it were never the target market.
And I can say that where I work there is a lot of love for Adobe. It is not universal, but their pricing and practices are much preferred over Quark for example. There was a generation of Quark where there was no upgrades for example. Quark is also quite difficult to get an upgrade for, and takes many weeks (from 5 to 6 anyway). Quark offered no discount to Kinkos or to schools. As soon as InDesign became credible competition things changed FAST. In fact schools switched over before it was even credible competition because they could get educational discounts (as could the students).
Also PDF has made our lives a lot better, and Acrobat Distiller is still the best PDF maker (though Scribus looks like it is getting pretty good in the PDF department, and for personal use PDFCreator is good).
In fact the biggest complaints about price where I work is with Apple. For the mid-end machine you have to buy a disposable monitor and the high-end is crazy expensive (fairly priced, but we really don't need 8 cores). And don't forget to upgrade the OS all the time, or you won't be able to browse the web, or buy the software you want.
If you look at the article earlier today about the auto fill-in in photos. MSs product did a very good job in the side by side comparison. I would be willing to bet that they can do some good stuff with their hair/grass copy paste too.

like m.gmail.com ?
Of course on the supported 32-bit Linux platform I just click the yellow bar at the top of the screen to install it.
Let me guess, when I google I find hacks using nspluginviewer?
Bush lied, LIED LIED LIED about Saddam planning 911.
You are still re-enforcing the Saddam <-> connection.
You need to leave Saddam out entirely.
many universities tell first-grade CS students that developing the control systems for cruise missiles is somewhat unethical).
Much better to carpet bomb than hit your target.
I would hardly make the assumption that the generally state controlled national guard is going to be fighting in other countries.
Of course they are supposed to help in the case of disaster reliefe within our borders too (too bad they arn't here any more).
and when I hear the term "journalistic ethic" I cringe.
And coming from a lawyer it really drives the point home how bad journalists are.
Probably because a higher number is more economy and not more consumption (in the US)
I always thought is was Practically Zero Emissions Vehicle
Which does make sense.
Have you seen random young people try to use the WiiMote to type and point?
now amplify times old people shakes, not good solution.
That we prevent companies from putting down new technology that competes with cable.
That way everything stays the same.
When someone hacked MS and got a copy of their source code it was headline news.
I am surprised no one reports how oftem Linux source code is taken from company servers, they must get hacked constantly compared to MS.

I can't believe I am seeing "begging the question" used correctly.
Even Isaac Newton got it wrong.
Not going to happen.
According to the summary anyway, it will still be legal to distribute. So it won't end up as a torrent.

And since it doesn't appear that the movies can be burned to DVD
Does the word burned make it not count as a copy restriction?
Or for hyper accurate results use every non-damaged frame of the video as your source material.
I would think it would be nearly perfect.
