One- it is not theft. So stop trolling. It is a copyright violation, which should be a civil matter not a criminal one. Making civil violations criminal acts only leads to creating more criminals. Have we learned nothing from our past? (For those that have not figured it out- here is the clue bat: Prohibition).
Two, what happens in five years when we all have cell phones more powerful than our desktops that can record full video for 10 hours? I already have a PDA more powerful with more RAM than a notebook I had several years ago. Do you really want to go to jail because you happened to check a page that vibrated in on the cell? That is the scenario we moving to.
Third, are all those five people household members? If not, then it is arguable that is a public showing. By your terms, you are a thief depriving those hard working people at the MPAA of thier rightful works. You may want to get off that high horse.
I am all for respecting others rights, but I also expect some reciprisosity. Copyrights were meant to be applied for a limited time; not for effectively forever. More and more laws are being passed to trample on my rights.
It changed from Lindows to Linspire after 30 seconds. LindowsOS seems to still be referenced in various places. Sometimes the same section will also refer to Linspire.
URPMI works great. urpmi app_name and it will even try to do fuzzy matching. Apt-RPM is also suppose to be pretty good. Even Red-carpetfrom Ximian works out well enough. It is prtty much a non-issue.

While I agree with most of your rant, I think you are a bit mistaken about ebay.
People sell stuff that they no longer need because of upgrades. I sold a Rio300SE because I bought a newer MP3 Player thatt had more capacity and connected via USB instead of Parallel. It was still a great device though.
Other people sell stuff because they need some money and ebay is better than a pawn shop. I picked up a Sharp Zaurus sl5500, cheap. I love it. My unit is a little scratched up, so the previous owner must have used it quite a bit. Then again one man's trash...
Older distros should work well enough. It is not necessary to use KDE, as most Distros contain alternat WindowManagers. BlackBox, FluxBox, TWM, IceWM, Sawfish/Sawmill, or FVWM will all work fine on low RAM machines.
Mandrake's profitability ccomes from Selling Linux. The only reason they went Bankruptt was because of the outrageous debt thier maangement team ran up trying to force them into an "e-learning" company. Now that they have returned to selling Linux, they are profitable again.
Also explain how Red Hat is not making money. Yeah, that is what I thought. Freakin trolls.
Mandrake's public version (community build I think they call it) is completely free. I believe it would meet even Debian'ss Free guidelines. Things like Contribs, PLF, or Commercial Disks are like Debian Nonfree. Nice addons, but not required.
the rating on a PSU is how much power it can handle at Peak requirements. Also a rule of thumb is that the higher the rating on a PSU, the more efficient it runs on smaller eletical loads. So if you stick a 300WW PSU in your P166, it will actually be a bit more efficient.
Most Computers sittting idle likee a typical firewall will be consuming about 100W. If you really want to be efficient, get a Router Firewall from a thousand different manufactuers. They all will consume somewhere between 15W-40W. Unless you need a stateful firewall, they will probably be more than good enough. And they function as your switch as well so you don't need another item that will consume almost as much power and the router.
Now most of thhose services the little router/firewall will not handle, so a P166 may be more useful. You should realize that the more services one runs the more insecure the server becomes. It would be possible to setup port forwarding rules on the new routers so that sme other computer on the network can take up the slack.
It is called reasonable expectations. It is reasonable for your friend to make aa sandwich and grab a glass of soda. It is unreasonable for him to empty the fridge. One could probably argue a smll claims settllement successfully on such a case.
I can't decide if you are a troll or just uninformed.
Normal people don't understand either the MSWindows File Hierachy nor do they understand any version of MacOS. (MacOSX is a distant relative Linux File Hierachy.) The Home directory in Linux is an eaier concept than the User account folder in Windows 2000/XP. Starting at "/" is just as arbitrary as starting at "C:\". Everything is a file concept is something for advanced users to grok, normal users don't need to know about/proc or/dev.
Typically, you don't need to install things like printer drivers as it is already a part of the Distro. You also never installed a Loki game. Pop tthe cd in, run the setup, and nice gui install. Sure, it didn't auto start, but it was two clicks in KDE. It was four in GNOME, but that was because GNOME used double clicks.
The defaults for GNOME or KDE are far more sane than what is deault in MSWindows. I am not familiar enough with OSX to comment, but there were little things in MacOS8.6 that drove me nuts. Nor was there anyway for to change the settings. In Linux, I can change things to suit my preferences.
It will probably come down to that if Google's terms of service are in Violation of your locality's laws, then you are not allowed to access thier service.
Strads have traced the wood back to some wooden beams used n Italian Monasteries. The beams cam from ttrees that grew during the o called little Ice Age. This was a period of Long Winters in Europe and thereby a shortened gowing season. (The longer a growing season, the thicker a years rings are. The shorter the growing period, the thinner the rings and denser the wood.) When modern violins are made from similiar wood, they produce a sound very similiar. Go check out National Geographic.
Look Coward, Managerrs routinely underhire and overwork the workers. Say that a store should have 10 people on the clock. The manager will routinely schedule 8-9 and require everyone to work harder. While sure you can get by on a short shift on occaision. It can not happen regularly. Too many shortcuts get taken. Then morale suffers and you end up with these dirty stores. And managers wonder why business drops off.
Throughout all of Corporate America, too much emphasisis placed on the short term bottom line. Sure you can make an extra $5 today, but forget all future profitablity.
That is pretty strange. I am from Iowa, and have relatives through Nebraska, South Dakota, Michigan, and Iowa. There is a large percentage of immigrants from Scandinavia and the Netherlands. While I could see some social stigma from having a feminine name, teachers should have been able to sort it out easily enough. Nothing else he could have gone with the nick name Jon or John.
I personally would recommend an unusual name. Shad is so uuncommon that it was nice to think of myself as unique. A lot of our identity is tied up with our name. Also, don't screw with the kid and give him initials that spell out something bad like ASS.
The joke is that the editors bothered post it. the clue is this was unedited submission. Pretty much they are showing us the kind of crap they get all the time. That is what is funny.
I don't bother with file sharing. I have purchased a few things from magnatunes, other wise it is the local used cd shop.
Goober, do you fail to realize that a nummber of bums across the US have been charged with "Public Performances" by playing a stereo? It comes down to the same ridiculousness of a Waitress cannot sing "Happy Birthday". That is my real problam with the system. Noone should be allowed to bind up our collective culture. The copyright system is very broken. Artist compensation is chimera. The RIAA is not compensating artists. Surely by now you have seen Courtney Love's diatribes.
Besides, you used the wrong terms. You accused me of being a theif, yet the acts you claim I do would be a copyright violation. If I snuck into Metallica's studio and took thier master tapes, then that would be theft. If I were to download a copy of "Enter Sandman" off of say Kazaa, then I would be would infringing copyright. (Though actually I think the person I received the song from would technically be the one in the wrong but IANAL). If it was different artist, such an act may be ok, basically if they gave permission then it would be so.
Brown rice is not wild rice. There are two things that are referred to as wild rice. One is this grain that is not really rice that is long thin and black. The other is undomesticated rice. Though a better definition might be rice that propagates in the wild.

Many of the OEM's will patch up to whenever the Computer model came out. But this means that the model will be on the shelf for up to six months.
