It would have been nice if the author of the article had pointed his Bruce Sterling link to Bruce Sterling's article, instead of Google search results.
Or maybe he's trying to avoid Slashdotting something?
I consider myself a fairly competent computer user (A+, Network+, MCP, CNE, college degree in IS), and really want to use Linux.
I was trying it out on my machine at home, and wanted to print an image from Nautilus in Gnome. My printer was set-up just fine using CUPS and i could print test-pages and text files all day.
I pushed the Print icon and nothing happened. No error, job didn't get sent to the queue. Nothing. This is unacceptable. I really want Linux to succeeded, but things need to be worked out so they 'just work'.
Say what you want about Windows security and stability (although I've been running XP since day one and have only seen one crash) but when I press print in Windows, I get a nice picture. Every time.
William Gibson's book "Pattern Recognition" touches on this. The example involves attractive women going to a bar and chatting up men about a new movie. The movie studio is paying the woman to speak favorably about the movie.
Actually, Al Gore won the popular vote. He and Ralph Nader has something like 56% versus W. who only had about 42%. The other 2% was for Pat Buchanan(sp), etc.
You seem to be ignoring the fact that France helped us out at point as well. It was called the Revolutionary War, without which we wouldn't even be here. Please don't be selective when quoting history.
Where do you have a base of 300-400K customers, but no high speed internet access? If 50% of the people in the area come to your place to game, that means that the city you're putting this in is pretty damn big!
I can't believe that there would be no DSL or Cable nearby.
Could you please give me an example of how it discourages personal property?
I own my car that gets 31 miles to the gallon. If the right-wing would have had it's way, we'd still be using leaded gasoline and getting 15 miles to the gallon.

Why didn't this make the list!!!!!???!
Nice info in parent post. The recording technique is called binaural recording.
Lame FP.
Although I do want one!
This was a story yesterday....

And they say Linux is ready for the desktop?
First they corrupted Dr. Suess, then Lord of the Rings, now this? What's next?
"Where The Sidewalk Ends", starring Ben Affleck as the sidewalk?
Rush? I thought you were still in detox?
If you're a purist you would have skipped the movies entirely.

Try Goldeneye for the N64. One of the few FPS's on the console that plays very well.
Or to paraphrase George Carlin:
Do you want to spend the rest of your life jerking-off and eating at Wendy's? Take a fuckin' chance!

So, no, the people didn't elect him.
Don't forget CounterStrike either.
Here's something recent:

I'd like to hear about the female side of this. Does this apply to women as well? And if not, why?

This is exactly why I'm not a right-winger. Instead of trying to present a well-thought out argument, you immediately go for character assassination.
The right-wing is very good in principal, but it absolutely sucks in practice.
I just want to play The Game!
I think that getting rid of most of the stuff is probably the best idea. Just make sure not to get hooked on Everquest though!
Also, don't your roommates have anything to contribute? Some of your stuff is going to get wrecked for sure.
