Umm, no. Your car comes with brakes, and an airbag, and seat belts. Anti-lock breaks, side airbags, all wheel drive, those are PREMIUM services in most vehicles.
Using your car analogy, is the manufacturer responsible for your actions if you do 190mph and then apply the brakes, only to find out they don't work at that speed? Oh, and I hope you decided to wear your seat belt also...
and come up with a shaving system that doesn't involving scraping sharp pieces of metal across our faces!
I mean seriously, if someone could pack a laser hair removal system into a handheld gadget built for the home user, I'd buy it. I'm all about the not shaving for 4-6 weeks part.
Says the whiner who isn't a/. subscriber and therefore hasn't contributed any of his *own* money to pay for the amount of bandwidth besing used by the OSDN sites, yet sits back and complains about where *said* money comes from.
Typical open source hippie, news flash: It's not Free as in Beer, someone along the line has to pay for it.
This isn't actually plagiarism. Blogging is a discussion community. When you stand around the water cooler talking about recents The Apprentice or Survivor episodes are you plagiarising?
How many jokes that you tell on a daily basis are ones you made up yourself?
Gunbound is a scorched earth/worms type game that's insanely addictive and fairly hack/cheat free at the lower levels. Average 4v4 game is about 10 minutes, although if you look up and it's 5am don't put the blame on me:P
Oh, it's also free to download and play;) You win 'gold' from matches to upgrade your 'avatar', although you can also use Paypal to purchase items to wear.
'The problem is a lack of highly educated workers willing to work for the minimum wage or lower in the U.S. Costs are driving outsourcing, not the quality of American schools.'
From WordNet (r) 2.0 [wn]:
tuition
n 1: a fee paid for instruction (especially for higher education); "tuition and room and board were more than $25,000"
How the hell is that a problem? Are you trying to tell us we spent a small fortune and years in debt paying off tuition costs working on a CS degree to get a job for 'minimum wage or lower'?!
Here's an idea, why don't we all work at fast food joints and live in our parent's basement for the next 30 years. You think the US economy is in a slump now, I wonder how it would be affected then?
Well, speaking as someone who just bought a new machine from Dell with a Nvidia Quadro FX 1000 video card, running Debian Unstable, I really didn't have to do much work to get accelerated 3D.
I also dual boot this machine to WindowsXP, and I have America's Army: Operations (which is free BTW, and has windows, mac, and linux clients available) installed under both OS's.
There is absolutely no difference under linux, the framerate's the same, sound works great under alsa. AFAIK AA:O is using the UT engine.
Of course, that's because most people would rather send their children off to die in a foreign land rather than give generously to their local Heart and Stroke foundation.
A few years back I bought a KVM for my home office (3 machines, 2 laptops). While it suited my needs at the time, what I really want is a switch that allows keyboard/video/mouse (audio would be nice too) over RJ-45, instead of the 20lbs of cables current KVM switches need.
Now I use VNC & XWin32 for the linux boxes, but it would really be nice to have my noisy win2k box in the office closet and still be able to play QuakeIII without being restricted to placing the machine 6 feet from the monitor. And even things like dvd's/mpegs won't display over VNC.
It's freaking HTML. It's not a big deal, it didn't cost you any money to produce nor is it any skin of your nose if someone else uses it
B.S. Companies will pay tens of thousands of dollars to have some development firm create a good design, and I've seen many a developer spend hours working on HTML/JavaScript because it doesn't work in both MSIE/Netscape.
Your comments are so blatantly ignorant I'm surprised you even managed to get some italic tags into your post. As to the Metallica comment, your missing the point. When I download a Metallica MP3, i'm not trying to pass it off as my own music.
Interesting, I wonder how many other ex-stampede developers fled to Debian, I know I did, and I don't regret a thing;)
Debian makes it easy to share apps between systems, because with apt-get dist-upgrade I know all my machines are running the same libraries.

Please, if I wanted to hear Celine Dion singing I could just drag my fingernails across a blackboard, or step on my cats tail.
It's not *really* a tank persay, it's just an overpriced, slightly used British submarine that we dare not put in the water.
Buyer beware indeed.

Listening to the mp3 of the call today, can someone teach Dar-ell how to pronounce 'software industry', and not in-duh-strie.
Jesus.
