Some ten years ago, when I was working at a call center that received calls from the US and Canada, the management decided put a TV in the Lunch/Break room playing non-stop the various popular american sitcoms of the time, in English, no subtitles.
The idea was to get the agents to listen to the "standard american TV accent" so that they would unconsciously imitate it.
According to the customer satisfaction surveys, it did work... Also, I know more about the plots and subplots of "Friends" than I want to admit here...
They even offer a way to use third party music players sync and work with iTunes - they just don't include in the instructions and API "copy our vendor ID and pretend to be an iPod"

If this were true, why should Palm need to use a fake id to sync with itunes?
Not only that, with this machine you can play the following game: You get a blowjob while having a gun pointed towards your head and you just need to start typing the world's ten most common passwords before the a) gun blows, or b) you blow...
So they give her a fake heart, and it's *still* not Cyborg enough for you? Can't you ever be *happy* with what you get, damnit?;)
Of course not! We need her to have super-strength and speed, eyes capable of 100x zoom, amplified hearing with selectable filtering of noise, subdermal armor and greatly improved reflexes before we can even start considering her a bona-fide cyborg!
Well, considering that my sister (she's a physician) tells me that life as a resident is a lot more like Scrubs and a lot less than ER, Grey's Anatomy, et. al., I am sure she would end up being the "newbie prank" for all new residents and nurses.
That's an interesting story, but it sounds like intellectually, he just barely qualifies as an aerospace engineer. I would not want him designing any airplane that I'm going to be flying.
Well, no one designs an airplane by himself. I would probably still hire him as an aerospace engineer, if only to give the team someone with a different and valuable point of view on how planes are built and repaired in the real world.

Isn't Grub2 one of the features of Ubuntu Karmic Koala?

A quick look to the article tells me that the Latitude has an additional mini-motherboard with an ARM processor running Linux

Except the diamonds were made out of tequila, not beer
Chemistry: Javier Morales, Miguel Apatiga and Victor M Castano of Universidad Nacional Autonoma in Mexico, for creating diamonds from tequila.
I don't know if I should feel proud or ashamed about my alma mater...
Agreed. My cheapie HP laserjet 1018 works better in Ubuntu than on Windows
I have a 1xxx "win-printer" that works marvelously well with Ubuntu
It was cheap and the cartridges are easy to get refilled
I got my eyes closed. You can't see me. Naner Naner Naner
That only works on the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal
Mosquito mesh?
"Pinchisimos" es mejor a "ninguno", ese es el punto.

Discworld did it first:
A small cardboard sign reading "I Aten't Dead", should do the trick.
"Undead, Undead, Undead"
Apologies to Bauhaus

A lot of fields still require a University degree, nevermind that they don't actually need it
That's nothing... I had to restrain myself from taggin it "getarealjob" ;^)
No No No.. it means that dust has been vanquished

You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means...
But seriously, salespeople lie and the rest of us have to support their wild claims. It's nothing new.
Mostly she liked the all-around-friendly atmosphere of Ubuntu, the decidedly non-elitistic image, the helpful community.
This, rather than any technical consideration, is what makes Ubuntu successful
Canonical seems to disagree
