  1. Re:Documentary? on Cannes' Palme d'Or goes to Michael Moore · · Score: 3, Informative

    Expand you horizons a bit and watch PBS. There's The Newhour, Frontline, Now, etc.

  2. Typo in the Zeitgeist on Top Searches of 2003, A Dave Odyssey, Banned Words for 2004 · · Score: 2, Informative
    As I see it right now, Google's Zeitgeist says: (my emphasis)
    The annual Wimbledon tennis tournament takes place at Roland Garros in Paris each spring.

    How is it that the Harry Potter is second only to Britney Spears on the popular queries list and also below the Simpsons on the fictional characters list?

  3. Re:BitTorrent not working well on Snag the Red Hat 9 ISOs, via Cash or BitTorrent · · Score: 2, Informative

    Neither is Red Hat Network. I've been downloading ISO 1 for about three hours (I'm on a university connection, so download speed isn't an issue) and curl estimates another four hours for the download to complete. At this rate I will have all three ISOs in 21 hours. I guess that's still before the non-RHN-subscribers...

  4. Re:Linux is not free to ship on a system on Why We Can't Just Get Along: The Bootloader · · Score: 1
    No, Linux is not free to the vendor. It requires an extra configurator setting, more system testing, documentation and support cost, installer and boot-time software development, inclusion of CD-ROMs, and a few gigabytes off the hard disk. If there's not customer demand for the feature there's no point in the extra cost for the system vendor.

    Then why do hardware provide pre-installed Linux boxes at all? Are you saying that just the prescence of Lilo adds support cost, etc.? If they sell/support Linux on a Linux-only box, and sell/support Windows on a Windows-only box, then what makes supporting a dual-boot machine so much harder?
