I'm having difficulties in understanding the benefit of having the control over your music. To me, it seems more like wanting to control other people's lives. You could argue that if you don't want to hear Crapetallica, don't listen to their stuff. But on the other hand, I could say that if Crapetallica doesn't want their so-called "art" to be "pirated", nobody is forcing them to release albums. That way they would have all the control. But it's money talking, I guess.
Hmm. If a newbie wants to get his/her email, there are few easy options available, and not all of them even Free (like Netscape). There is Balsa, for example, but it's still pre-1.0. And I'm not even going to start my rant about mutt, it's so unbelievably hard to set up. So we check out Mail-HOWTO, and see it recommends installing qmail. OK, we'll do that, it's pretty easy actually, but hey, qmail wants dns (or something else that's even harder to configure). What shall we do? Get Helix admin tools and forget about the details. (Oh, and it's not all about being a newbie either: the distros have a considerable amount of differences.)
I fail to see why someone would want the sources of an old game for a Sega machine. What's the use of that anyway? If an old enough game, it's probably made with some bizarre asm too.
I don't know about that. I have a wap device, an Ericsson MC218. It's a pda with a 640x240 screen, so it's probably enough for wml since its good enough for viewing html pages. Although I've never used its wap browser, I'd imagine it should be somewhat faster than browsing regular html. (Oh yeah, my cellphone has a 9.6kbps modem.:-) )
It depends on the type of the software we're talking about of course, but a typical user of a typical software package does have a web browser installed. Man, the software itself requires some other software to be installed, if it's not an operating system itself.

And you are a supporter of Gremio? :-) Or Vasco? Fluminense?
