Ideas are not a scarce resource like gold or daimonds or oil. Microsoft is welcome to put whatever they want to in their operating system. They sell a product. Do stereo manufactures complain if Ford puts a stereo in their newest car?
Windows is a product. A product which myself and hopefully many others here choose not to buy. How would breaking up microsoft effect me? How would it help? Their attacks on open source, while amusing are silly. Sticks and stones. Will it affect current developers of free software? Will it cause Linus to see the light and stop developing?
Most people here react to Microsoft like they're coming out of an abusive realationship with Bill gates. Nothing MS does affects anything in the free software noosphere. Stop wasting energy and passion getting enraged over MS, or complaining about MS or their products. The energy would be far better spent re-directed into more free software development
um....bluetooth doesn't have anything to do with what we're talking about here. not unless you're using your cell phone to read web pages from your mp3 player in your pocket.
Yes you can, but probably not with that set top box. The DVB stream goes directly to a mpeg decoder ASIC and is decoded; it never touches the CPU. To select channels all the CPU does is change PIDS.

when you infringe on some ones rights you are stealing their freedom.
Some one owns the rights to that music. Not you. They determine how and when it is distributed. Not you.
If you don't like it then go dl some GPL music.
one of the main points of the article; if you had bothered to read it, is that the gaming industry, by acting like a bunch of wanna-be frat boys is shooting themselves in the foot when it comes to market share.
every game publishing company out there spends millions of dollars trying to figure out why there aren't more female gamers(you know, that other 51% of the population with desposable income). and how to lure the elusive "female gamer".
here's a hint: hookers and gogo dancers might lure the Paul Steeds of the world, but they have the same chance of success as a car full of hooting gino's do at picking up a girl on the street.
So, if the interactive entertainment industry ever wants to see the kind of revenue that say Hollywood does, they have to Grow Up.

if you honestly, seriously think Microsoft was behind this then you probably should be seeing a shrink.
Fingerprints are not unique.

You've all got Microsoft on the brain.
Let it go.
If you drag an audio device to the hand do you get a "Talk to the Hand" message?
Yeah, but think aboot how much eletricity you waste by opening and closing the fridge door to see what's inside?
A Pc with a video camera and LCD monitor mounted on the fridge will fix that problem!
I started up a Quake3 Arena by post server.
please excuse him....all that Celion Dione...well, you know.

Um, sometime when people say they're looking for a "team-player" what they really mean is someone with interpersonal skills.
From your post above it appears that you lack these. No one wants to hire an asshole. and no one wants to work with an asshole.
Ha! I live in Canada where not only is it cruel and unusual punishment but we also pay a provincial income tax thats 40% of our federal tax

Now PGP 2700 1kB files.

What? Are you suggesting we don't judge a book by it's title?
kinda like if you're worried about getting shot and killed you shouldn't go outside.
You do realize that this is all just promotional material for Disney's Atlantis movie?

Is that fear I smell?
Not all libs are released as RPM or DEBs, and often if they they're out of date or require tweaking wt a Non-RH dist.
If you've never played "There's a hole in my bucket" wt Linux then I'd guess you've never tried to install new software.

It takes a skilled programmer to write it once, then anyone can run a batch file.
Or do you think script kiddies are highly skilled too?
