1) You "can X and restart it without rebooting" but can a novice?
2) true
3) Compiz is enabled by default. That is not a "very little' extra.
4) And none of those are on parity with the Windows/Mac equivalents.
5) Yeah, WoW runs under WINE. Many games do. It is just that many don't run with a damn under WINE and even if someone else got a particular game running under WINE, there is no guarantee anyone else will be able to or that it will run worth a damn for someone with a different system.
Oh, and the so-called "fair tax" of your sig is a regressive tax that increases the tax burden on the poor and decreases it for the rich. A better one is a hybrid flat rate income tax and a national sales tax.
The point you are missing is that they don't care about any other license other than their own.
If you want to know if their kit, license, restrictions, etc. are compatible with the license you want to use, then it is up to you to figure that out.
Ok, someone tell me why it is that I keep seeing people say "the GPL is not viral" then articles from FLOSS oriented publications, such as this one, that talk about the "viral nature of the GPL"?
Either it is viral, or it is not. And, to me, it is looking pretty viral.
No. If you don't like the terms, don't use the kit. If you are too lazy to get an understanding of the terms, that is your fault, so don't use the kit.
even if the drop is as high as 50%, if the solar power could be 1/2 cheaper than oil power, there is still a gain in doing the thing in the deserts.
Those are two very big "if"s. The maximum cost-effective distance for electricity is 4,000 line miles. The land distance covered by the line will actually be less. And, there is the question of maintainability, substations, etc. The ROI on a distance is considerably shorter than the maximum length.
Then there is the question of whether or not solar power can be "1/2 cheaper than oil power", which is an incorrect measure. One must consider oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear power plant in the mix.
just wait for the oil price to rise, then any alternative energy sources will be convenient.
Unless, of course, the cost of constructing a power plant using said alternative energy goes up as well, which it will. And, the cost of manning the plant. Also, one will have to consider the cost of maintaining those long transmission lines, the substations, etc.
Solar thermal plants covering the equivalent of a 92-by-92-mile square grid in the Southwest could generate electricity for the entire United States.
1)What is the Ohio or Seattle equivalent of 8464 square miles of Southwest desert? Will this work in places that don't have bright, cloudless sunshine most of the year? If so, how many square miles of mirrors will be required?
2)What will be the environmental damage caused by covering the equivalent of 8000+ square miles of desert? All that sunlight not reaching the grass and other low plants, which will destroy the habitat of numerous small animals, etc.
Maybe you should learn to drive and then you wouldn't have to slam on your brakes.
I have a car and a motorcycle and drove a tractor-trailer. I haven't had to slam on my brakes for a yellow light because I know how to drive and pay attention to what is going on.
About those Broadcom cards, you posted two reports. Oooh big fucking deal. They don't work at ALL with Linux, and you post two reports, one of which is from a blog. Tell you what, you want to talk about how bad they are under Windows, find me more than a couple of reports. Find me an article in a reputable news source saying how thousands of them have problems and then you will have something to back up your statement.

Want to bet one can not find most of those devices on currently available laptops?
And, there is a reason to be unpleasant. You use year old data to try to claim that there is a lot of support for new hardware. I am going to be modded down because I am not a) bashing MS/Windows/Vista b) pissing all over myself over how wonderful Linux is
Tell you what, dumbass, go check out the article from a few months ago talking about how almost all of the new Vista laptops from major manufactures come with WiFi cards that will not work with Linux.
Then, read the OPs comment about how he bought his mom a new Windows Vista laptop.
Then, you might actually say something intelligent.
Slashdot Mirror
You mean like the FireFox version included.

Fail.
Slippery slope is not a valid argument.
You want no more secrets?
Why don't you start by putting up your name, address, social security number, bank account information, credit card numbers, etc.
I am guessing eBat/PayPal forgot there are regulatory bodies they should consult before doing such things.
Do not click. Malicious link. Just read the URL.
Your first statement is false, therefore the rest of your post is false.
See, fish aren't warm and furry and have big doe eyes. They fail the cuteness test, so it is OK to eat them.
Yes, which is why large carnivores will try to eat people on occasion.
Please show where there is a similar clause in the OOXML standard.

The wording of the NDA does not prevent one from distributing the source code.
The NDA clear states "information disclosed by Apple to you", emphasis added. One's source code does not fall into that definition.
"So pick a few popular ones."
No. If you don't like the terms, don't use the kit.
If you are too lazy to get an understanding of the terms, that is your fault, so don't use the kit.
I think the OP means that a live action version is a good idea, not necessarily a Spielberg version.

You are leaving out considerable costs.
Tell me, what is the Seattle solar equivalent of a one square mile of Arizona?
I take it you have never heard of transmission line losses.

Irrelevant, because if one drives at proper speed one does not have that problem.
Instead of taking responsibility for your poor driving skills, you are blaming traffic lights.
You are a:
fucking coward

Yeah, I bet you are one of the red light running assholes here in Florida
