1. How do you update config files? 2. How do you update your packages (emerge -Du world)? 3. How do you specify package keywords? 4. Do you read the messages at the end of a package's emerge?
I found that the answers to the above are generally: 1. Incorrectly 2. Incorrectly 3. Incorrectly 4. No
I've been using gentoo for a year. I update about 4 times a week. Only once did I break my system (for about 15 minutes -- thanks gentoo forums) and it was because I didn't read am emerge message regarding hotplug/coldplug.
their biggest fear is that you tune out and stop watching
I don't think this a real fear. Just yesterday I drove through 10 minutes of traffic due to a concert nearby. Last Friday I waited in line 10 minutes to buy movie tickets to a new release.
BTW, I am frusterated with most everything on the TV... yet I still watch some shows (albeit with a Tivo to zip over the brainless parts and the commercials).
I don't think the biggest threat is for people to stop listening/watching altogether.
What happened to satellites? Just a few years ago there was an "oh my god the government is watching me" movie that featured satellites following people as they move about in the cities. I take it this was not true. (I think it was called Enemy of the State.)
Can someone with an understanding of CRTs explain how this is possible? Please use science/physics/facts to explain, because I don't think this is possible.
Industry wants to eliminate storage techniques that are 15 years old or older. I feel sorry for people who, 15 years ago, thought floppies were a good place to save pictures or other personal items. If you're planning on saving pictures on cds now to show your grandchildren 50 years from now, you better not use a CD because Dell's dumping those in 2010.
I hope industry doesn't decide to get rid of paper... that's where I keep my sentimental pictures.
make treadmill grinding (and repetitive exercise in general) LESS BORING
Go to US Army Special Forces selection. There's a lot of repetitive exercise and it's not boring. But you still won't do it. Boring is not the problem.
My company has been using wxWindows for a year now. Our simulation software runs in gui and console modes. We use wxWindows because it offers cross platform (win32, linux is all we use) GUI, sockets, threads, file system stuff, 64 bit integers, "registry", OpenGl. You can build wx libraries without the gui stuff and still get the other cross platform functionality.
I use a (commercial) gui "wizard" - wxDesigner - to layout our dialogs. Others do it by hand. The open source version wxWorkshop wasn't up to speed the last time I checked (6 months or so ago), but could be there now.
The only think wxWindows isn't able to do for our company right now is display multiple children in an MDI at the same time under GTK (they're drawn as seperate tabs).

letting developers write software using the C# programming language
What does this mean? Developers couldn't write software using the C# programming language before?

Obviously you can't do it with a straight line, it has to be curved
How is it obivously curved?
0.0% -> $0
50% -> $B
100% -> $A
if A=100,000,000,000,000 and B=50,000,000,000,000 the line is not curved.
Why do you say it's obviously curved? I must be missing something.
Perhaps you should consider sea bass...
pissing off their consumer base ... without resorting to using the government in the form of the judicial system to act as their personal thugs
Has this "pissed off their consumer base"? Seems to me like it's only pissed off the people who steal music and movies.

Unfortunately, the entities with the money want to keep their money.
Tip: If your plan requires people to "not want to keep their money", it's probably not going to work.
Information wants to be free. Nobody "owns" information.

and saw this message:

I wonder which products they're talking about
Diesel submarines have batteries that last for years. What do they use?
The sooner they discover they are fighting a losing battle and just accept it and look for a better marketing scheme, the better.
You sound like the Iraqi information minister!
I thought these mod chips are used to download games off the internet so you don't have to pay for them.
I thought it was a criminal trial. In a criminal trial, the corporation does not get to prosecute with their lawyers.
No, the people who were running Set@Home at work are going to get fired for screwing up the network.
It was also done in this movie.

I _HAVE_ noticed that Windows tries to swap Mozilla out of memory the first chance it gets.
What tool/program/technique do you use to determine this?

TurboTax was not uninstalled completely, some files and registry entries...
Our ancestors won't be able to read the data if you put it on a floppy -- Dell and Apple are trying to rid the world of them.

This "review" claims Western Digital's IDE drive outperforms SCSI.
Don't bother looking for evidence to back up the claim, because there isn't any. The only time SCSI is even mentioned is in the title and the summary.
Oh, and by the way, Western Digital uses the quote "'Outperforms SCSI Drives' - Toms Hardware" on the retail box of the product.
You apparently never got a security clearance. It IS the FBI's job. So there.
You are wrong. The DSS handles this.
