The obvious solution is simply to input all numbers with the country code and prefixed with a +. That works all over the world. +3120-1234567 and you're golden.
The BIOS isn't the limiting factor when booting from a GPT disk - the OS is or rather the OS's boot loader.
Windows will not let you boot from a GPT disk on a non-EFI machine, but Linux (using GRUB2 or a patched GRUB1) works perfectly fine with GPT on my two machines here.
Not sure what problems you have experienced with Amarok in the past, but Amarok (versions 1.4 and 2.2) is pure bliss on my 300GB/21000 file collection here. No issues what so ever (apart from v2 not supporting transcoding yet) and although it takes a while to generate the library to begin with, after that it's smooth sailing.
Am I the only one who find the whole issue about illegally obtained evidence not being admissible in court preposterous?
Let's say I go out and kill somebody, but the only evidence against me it is an illegally obtained wire-tapping. It doesn't make me any less guilty. And the people who obtained it illegally obviously need to be prosecuted but it still shouldn't change anything in terms of me. Obviously in this case most people would argue that making me walk on a technicality is not in everybody's best interest. Without going into special cases, can anybody tell me why illegally obtained evidence should not be accepted? Evidence is evidence and it carries its weight irrespectively of how it came about.
For the record, I like the RIAA's actions as little as the next guy, but that's not what we're discussing here.
No, your LaCie USB hard drive is not a FAT device. It might very well be using FAT as the file system right now, but there is absolutely nothing preventing you from using a different filesystem on that device. The 250GB LaCie I have looking at me right now uses ext2 as an example.
The bottom line is that the device says nothing about the filesystem.
But you are correct on one point - FAT32 doesn't support files larger than 4GB, but that is a limitation of the filesystem, not your USB hard disk.
Had a similar experience - bought a new Samsung CC03 mobile on 31/12 (cheapest I could find) to serve as a temporary replacement phone.
It refused to let me set the date to 31/12. It was fine with 30/12 and then telling me it was Tuesday and after midnight it showed Thursday 1/1 properly, so for some reason 31/12 did not exist.
And while a great number of sites are inaccessible (a number of blogs on wordpress.com and blogspot.com for a starter), it seems otherwise completely random which sites have been blocked and they simply time out as opposed to telling you that you can't go there,
At least when I was living in Singapore, things were done properly. If you accessed a site deemed BadForYou(tm), you would be diverted to another site explaining that access had been blocked by the Media something something Bureau.
And that kind of makes me wonder - how come there is no outcry regarding the blocking of sites in Singapore? Most middle eastern countries? And of course the equally morally-indefensible child porn filter in some Scandinavian countries?
If you really want to block something, then PLEASE stop P2P downloads of Celine Dion but that allegedly still works.
On that note - we have a 4 year old at home (soon to be 5) who is hooked on GCompris. Most of the mini-games there are too difficult, but she loves the ones she can figure out.
She switches on the PC and logs on herself (with her own password) to get to it.
While I thought about giving her Sugar as the DE, she seems very comfortable with GNOME.
Along the same lines, the following joke was told by a relatively senior person in a large international company at his closing address to a group of sales directors at a sales conference in Bangkok, Thailand. A friend of mine was present and swears it was told exactly this way:
Gentlemen, as we finish tonight a great number of us will be going out after dinner. A word of warning though - half the prostitutes have AIDS and half have tuberculosis, so make sure you pick one who coughs.
But I thought the republicans had the christian god on their side - that's at least the way they made it sound. So what's the deal here - omnipotent or impotent?
I know this is flame bait, but still; it amuses me when the people who claim to have a god on their side lose something.
Like when going on a plane full of nuns - if you fall down you either know there is no god or that (s)he has a wicked sense of humour. Both are good to me (apart from the actual plane crashing part of course).
If you want to see how that works in real life, I suggest a number of African countries where this is the case. Good luck calling the police in Tanzania as an example (yes, I lived there) - they will often ask you to pay for fuel for the police car to come there.
rtorrent running under screen on a Debian box. I can run multiple torrents in just one window and reconnect to it from different workstations to check the status. Combined with a KDE action I can send.torrent files straight to the watched directory that makes rtorrent start them automatically. Works like a charm.
Interesting you should mention it and we are now side-tracking, but where I come from (Denmark) it is generally considered fashion faux pas to carry your gizmos around in a small belt pouch whereas where I'm currently residing (Tanzania) it's a fashion statement and a way to show you're really hip. With all due respect to Tanzanians they also find digital watches really neat but Douglas Adams has already covered that topic extensively and there is thus no reason to go down that route.
My current house is from 1903, which is not particularly old for houses here - it is a brick house. I don't even dare to think of what 102 years old house made of wood would look like - even less to live in!!
Is that really the way that you make houses in America? Plaster and wood?
Where I live (Denmark), houses from before the 80's are ALL brick walls (except some cheap apartment blocks made out of concrete), while newer house walls mostly are made of gas concrete slabs with bricks on the outside and plaster slabs on the inside.
I am aware that brick houses in earth quake areas is obviously a really bad idea, but there's got to be something more sturdy than wood!

And now it is my turn to disagree. When you start talking about the enterprise, a whole different set of rules come in to play.
Why is Windows NT 4 still used in a wide range of large corporations for their enterprise applications? Because it doesn't change. Because deploying a new version of an application takes months. And a new application takes years.
When you run true "enterprise applications" (I don't really like that term myself though) stability is paramount and ONLY surpassed in importance by "staticness" (don't know if that's a real word...). You don't want things to change. You don't even want a point release of some software you depend on because testing is expensive and takes a long time.
If you are one of the 3 guys in the IT department in a small company where you can whip up a new PHP app in a matter of hours, then the latest software is good. But as things get bigger, you want as much as possible to not change.
So yes, Debian stable is great for the enterprise. For the same reason(s) that Windows NT 4 is.
That is most definately not true. If you ever watch "Ali G - The Movie" you will see the good Mr Freeman as a prominent member of the West Stains Massive!

I do realise this does not constitute "include" but have you ever heard of DOSBox that does exactly that and is free?
