The current problem in Israel and Palestine is that the violence has hardened the population to the point that the most extremist people in both groups are in control of goverment actions.
We need moderate Israelis and moderate Palestinians in charge, so that they can finally hammer a two-state solution that brings peace to the region.
Sadly, due to the ever increasing spiral of revenge, I don't see this happening anytime soon.
Everybody knows that the only reason the Mind Flayers, the Drow or the Kuo-Toa have not succesfully invaded the surface world is because they are way too busy fighting each other.
Well, the story of the "kid hacks into a network, and instead of doing jailtime, ends up as security chief of said network's owner" always sounded like a fairy tale to me...
Although its possible they are more common than I though... I don't work in IT, after all
Its good that you mention the kernel for EeePCs, because just last week I installed a custom kernel for my Acer Aspire One made by a guy who based his work partly on the stuff done by the EeePC guys
And yes, it did work, even if its not "reasonably well tested and integrated with the regular update system."
I ended up writing a neat little PHP script that read my MP3 files, extracted the track number and renamed the files so they started "01_", "02_", "03_" and would play in the correct order, then copied them for me.
Whats wrong with just adding a playlist file to the folder?
Cool - but do you know what? I switched to iPod/iTunes and found that it was a bloody sight easier to manage your music using iTunes and then, when you plug in your iPod, just tell it which playlists you want synced. Maybe, just maybe, people who buy iPods as music players rather than programming projects think that too.
Rrrright, and iTunes for Linux is available where? Ah, that's right, it isn't!
Apple actually understands the difference between a general purpose computer that geeks can program and customise and a domestic appliance which "just works".
The thing is, I want a music player that shows up as a USB block device in any operating system I connect it to.
I want to just drag and drop music files into a directory, unplug the thing and take it wherever I go.
The ipod does not do this, so it doesn't "just work", sorry...
There are several hardware resellers that will build you a 100% Linux-compatible computer from the ground up (and it would probably be cheaper than buying from Apple).
There are also several open source tools that are equivalent to all the software you mentioned.
Now, I do not have an ipod, so I'll let someone else respond on that gadget's compatibility...
You just take the geologist class and then take the "sneak of shadows" feat... Then you can spend some more feats to add more rogue powers to your geologist
You just described my current place of employment... [sighs]
Here they have people from security going around after 7pm making sure everybody has turned off their monitors... Apparently that little amber light is costing the company millions...
And don't get me started on the idiotic animated screensaver that marketing came up with and declared mandatory, and of course IT set it up so that it pops up after 5 minutes of inactivity... This wouldnt be so bad except that the screensaver makes 85% of the computers* here grind down to a halt
*Everybody's computers except for management, marketing and IT, who have better, newer models

Problem is, you sometimes want to fly to such a country, for whatever reasons...
Debellatio is another latin term that describes the aims of both parties in this conflict.
whoosh!
hormone imbalance that has been reducing proteins.
...yeah, and Michael Jackson has a skin disorder that makes him paler ...
I'm kidding! I'm kidding! Please don't mod me down!
Actually, I have never found a LED bulb nor any CFLs that with a confortable color spectrum.
Also, most inexpensive CFLs lose their brightness very quickly and need to be replaced far sooner than what the manufacturer would have you believe.
I always remap my Windows key to something useful.
For example, my latest toy (an Acer Aspire One), I configured the key to show the Ubuntu Netbook Remix desktop/menu

So no, no ipod for me.
You have never tried to install a custom kernel?
Actually, "zero" is the new "light", let me show you an example:
Diet Coke -> Coca-Cola Light -> Coca-Cola Zero
In the Uberwald regions of the Discworld, you can drill and hit underground deposits of animal fat...

You could also throw in GTA(2), which are now freely available as Rockstar Classics: http://www.rockstargames.com/classics/
I don't think the people running this kids charity is going to appreciate that particular game...
Too bad its only available with XP where I live (Mexico), so I had to pay the MS tax on that one... Ubuntu Intrepid runs like a charm on it, though
If your wi-fi card doesn't yet have linux drivers, you can always try NDISWrapper
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/
Nowadays its much easier!
